Netflix makes a deal for Adult Swim and Cartoon Network content. Ooooooooohh!

Netflix has been on the move as far as adding content to stay ahead of competitors like Amazon, and right now Netflix is working hard to add Warner Bros. content. In the past week, Netflix added some of the bigger Warner Bros. Television Group titles, like Revolution, Fringe, and The West Wing. Now, Netflix has made a deal to add Adult Swim and Cartoon Network content.

This deal will kick off on March 30th, at which point Netflix will be adding all of the past seasons of Cartoon Network shows like Adventure Time, Ben 10, Regular Show, and Johnny Bravo; Adult Swim content like Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Childrens Hospital; Warner Bros Animation’s Green Lantern; and Sony Pictures Television’s The Boondocks.

So, if you need to catch up with Mordecai and Rigby, Jake the dog and Finn the human, or Huey and Riley Freeman, it's going to be a very nice springtime on Netflix for you.

Animation and Adult Swim, as well as the TNT serialized drama Dallas (produced by Warner Horizon Television).
Beginning March 30, 2013, complete past seasons of such great Cartoon Network shows as Adventure Time, Ben 10, Regular Show, Johnny Bravo, Warner Bros. Animation’s Green Lantern will become available on the popular “Just for Kids” section of the world’s leading Internet TV subscription service.

At the same time, Adult Swim shows, such as Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sony Pictures Television’s The Boondocks and the Emmy®-winning Childrens Hospital from WBTVG’s Studio 2.0, will be made available.

Coming exclusively to Netflix in January 2014 will be season one and two of the critically acclaimed Warner Horizon Television-produced TNT series Dallas.

“We are delighted that Netflix will become the exclusive over-the-top streaming subscription destination for past seasons of favorite Cartoon Network and Adult Swim titles,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix. “We’re also thrilled to be able to offer the latest seasons of Dallas, one of the greatest all-time guilty pleasures.”

Bradley, senior vice president of program acquisitions for Turner Broadcasting. “We’re happy to offer our popular programming to Netflix members, as SVOD services have become another way to grow audiences and can introduce new viewers to our programming.”

You had me at Robot Chicken, but the boondocks is icing on the cake

4. MichaelHeller posted on 14 Jan 2013, 16:47 5

Boondocks season 1 is icing. After that, I think it got too focused on Riley, Grandad and Uncle Ruckus, and lost some of the poignancy of the first season.

Stinkmeaner is by far the most offensive... Yet the funnest character on the whole show. But I have to agree, the last season was a bit disapointing.

But now this mean BLACK DYNAMITE will be available too. With that in mind, a great quote from the immortal "Nature Boy" Rick Flair comes to mind and it goes ...

"WOOOOO!!!"

Well, hopefully available soon.

*Fingers crossed*

Eh okay? This isn't phone news

16. MichaelHeller posted on 14 Jan 2013, 20:31 5

Admittedly, you are right, and I apologize that it is a bit off topic. But, I would counter with two things: 1) Netflix is one of the most popular mobile apps around, and 2) this is awesome news!

This is good news, besides if this was a phone news site alone then all the Tablet stuff would have to be axed as well. It's not that serious Bernoulli, more content can never be bad news, well unless it's...

I hope this is just the beginning because Netflix sucks at adding content .

Finally! Now, if only they would add some Tim and Eric, I'd be perfectly happy.

17. MichaelHeller posted on 14 Jan 2013, 20:32 2

Oh wow, I completely forgot that the Adult Swim catalog could very well include Tim and Eric, and Tom Goes to the Mayor! Fingers crossed on that.
