2017 was certainly a very interesting year for Adult Swim and arguably one of there biggest, consisting of Rick and Morty season 3, Tim and Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job! 10 yr Anniversary, and even the return of Samurai Jack. 
The station certainly has made quite a name for itself with Rick and Morty becoming "Americas top comedy" and represented a bizarre combination of the station's older and more modern identity. The premiere of The Jellies was certainly significant as it represented rapper/comedian Tyler the Creator's return to the channel in a show more similar to Rick and Morty then any other prior Adult Swim original. Tim and Eric, a station staple, had a very large presence on the channel this year, appearing in the 10 yr anniversary special, Tim and Eric Bedtime Stories season 2, two new seasons of Decker and, the return of their bizarre web series, On Cinema at the Cinema.
Looking back at all that happened on Adult Swim this year, it clearly was very significant for the channel. I just hope the channel can continue its momentum moving forward into 2018. Not having a new Rick and Morty season to attract large amounts of viewers will certainly affect the channel's ratings, however; I'm excited to see what new shows will fill the programming hole and make me laugh during all of my late nights in 2018.
Nice article reflecting Adult Swim for 2017, they've certainly made a nice comeback. Rick and Morty is one of my faves and I did not know they were having a new season. Samurai Jack was awesome, I remember watching the show back when it first came out.
