Do you like Adult Swim?
Do you like boxes?
Well my friend, I have something to show you!
In 2001, Cartoon Network created a new block of programming on Sunday and Thursday nights geared toward an adult audience. This was the birth of Adult Swim, which has grown from a four hour block of programming two nights a week to its own network that shares the channel with Cartoon Network. In late 2003, Adult Swim started to release DVDs of their original programming with Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Vol. 1 and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Vol. 1. Each of the different series has garnered a string of releases over the years, and the most popular have been collected in a new release called Adult Swim in a Box. This new release collects six DVD collections from across the Adult Swim lineup in a boxed set for all the fans.
This set contains: season two of Sealab 2021, season one of Metalocalypse, season two of Robot Chicken, season three of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, season one of Moral Oral, volume two of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and an extra disc with five pilots: The Best of Totally for Teens, Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge, Korgoroth of Barbaria, Perfect Hair Forever, and Welcome to Eltingville.

Adult Swim in a Box is the kind of DVD Set that comes out once in a blue moon. The set collects season sets of episodes from different series. This is something that is usually unheard of. Most often a dvd set has an episode or two of a few different shows to emulate a specific day of television, like Saturday morning cartoons. But this is a tremendous achievement, especially at the price point. To buy these sets individually it would cost $160, and wouldn’t even come with the disc of pilots. What you get in Adult Swim in a Box is six seasons of hugely popular shows, and five pilots two of which are currently unaired, all for $69.98. That is an amazing deal for all that you get. This is something that a fan of Adult Swim should definitely pick up, especially if they haven’t picked up any of the Adult Swim DVDs yet. This will get their collection off with a bang.
Comics Online gives Adult Swim in a Box 5 shows by Seth Green out of 5.
