Adventure Time Turns 5

Adventure Time premiered on Cartoon Network this day back in 2010. There was the original Nickelodeon/Frederator short from a few years prior, of course, and CN aired a couple of sneak peeks a few weeks before the official series launch with “Slumber Party Panic” on April 5. Congratulations to Pen, Pat, Adam, Kelly, Jeremy, John, and everyone who’s ever contributed in even the smallest way to the show’s success and longevity. Five years and hundreds of cartoons in, we’re still happily searching for that snail.
