Nah. Before Adult Swim came, CN had all kids cartoons (Dexter, PPG, Johnny Bravo, Courage, Samurai Jack, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, Toonami, etc.). I think it's because they wanted to attract an adult audience, too, so they made Adult Swim in 2001. I don't ever count Adult Swim shows, since they weren't part of classic CN (meaning cartoons for kids). And I don't even consider Adult Swim as a part of CN. They may be the same channel, but two different names. One shows kids shows, one shows adult shows. One air in the daytime, one airs at night. I really consider them two different things.
