A lot of shows on Adult swim. I have seen many folks that have worked with the network basically say they have near 100% creative control. Mind you it is about 90% animated stuff.
You see absolutely crazy stuff like The Eric Andre show get 6 seasons. A talk show that is basically just out to torment all their guests. 'Off the air' while only a few episode every few years, is much more of an art experimenter than anything you would consider a show, it is wonderful.
Every few months there is something new and twisted that comes along, it feels like Adult swim is that TV studio that the main company complete forgot exists and that head corporate hasn't checked on since the late 90's.
But the budgets also show, there are no million dollar budgets here.
Have you watched the Eric Andre show?
In one episode he gets frustrated with the direction of the show and inserts a betamax tape to play a previous episode, sped-up and overlaid with partial opacity atop the ongoing episode.
In another episode the host and one of the members of NSYNC literally jump out of the way of a motorcycle that runs over the host's desk.
I wonder if this is exclusive to TV networks. I was served four 90 second ads, in a twelve minute episode of the Eric Andre show on Hulu.
