I've been thinking about whether Adult Swim should have a block catering to the nostalgic audience of Cartoon Network, airing their 1996-2008 shows. If Boomerang can't do it with them airing half a day of Tom and Jerry and Scooby Doo in the daytime, Ben 10 (2016) for two hours, and Chowder, Foster's, KND, Billy and Mandy, and Dexter being the only "old" shows they air (which air at a time at which most people would be asleep), they might as well give the job to Adult Swim. After all, AS is 16+, and most of CN's nostalgic audience are older teenagers and adults, both of whom Adult Swim targets.
It wouldn't be the first time they aired non-adult programming; remember when they used to air Pee Wee's Playhouse, Yogi Bear, Johnny Bravo, and Astro Boy?
However, I'm concerned that some of these shows are far too "kiddie" even for AS standards; MGPAM, Foster's, Lazlo and so on, make King of the Hill look like Mr. Pickles and would feel overall awkward to be shown on Adult Swim.
