* ChannelHop: From Creator/{{UPN}} to Creator/CartoonNetwork as part of its then-new Creator/AdultSwim line-up, which was made up of ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' reruns (and, later, new episodes), ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBrakShow'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2021}}'', and ''Anime/CowboyBebop''.

They tend to use ''Home Movies'' to start off [adult swim]'s lineup or to end it. Even when it is removed, it ''always'' finds its way back onto the lineup. During its original run, it was subject to some [[ScrewedByTheNetwork questionable schedule changes]]. But since then, [adult swim] gives constant love to the show.
