Cancelled original programming

The Bob Clampett Show 2001 TV-G Assortment of classic Looney Tunes cartoons, all of which were directed or produced by celebrated animator Bob Clampett (hence the title). Is generally believed to be filler material for the then-recently created time slot; however, the cartoons were left in their originally aired, unedited state (often containing material that could be found objectionable by today's sensibilities), hence its appearance on Adult Swim.
The Brak Show 2000 TV-PG Spinoff of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, the show was unexpectly cancelled on New Year's Eve 2003, with viewers not finding out until the end of the episode. Ended with 28 episodes. Volume 1 available on DVD. Volume 2 coming August 8, 2006.
Cartoon Planet 2005 TV-G Another spinoff of SGC2C, like The Bob Clampett Show, aired on TBS and Cartoon Network, and is also used for filler in the 5-6 a.m. time slot. Like SGC2C, originally premiered and aired as regular Cartoon Network programming; until its use as filler material for the 5-6 a.m. time slot (long after its cancellation), it never aired on Adult Swim.
Home Movies 2001 TV-PG Originally aired on UPN. Adult Swim picked up the series and ordered new episodes. Ended in April 2004 with 52 episodes. Seasons 1-4 available on DVD.
Perfect Hair Forever 2004 TV-14 An indirect spinoff of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. 6 episodes were made and the creators aren't interested in continuing it to a second season. The show is expected to end after a few more concluding episodes are made.
