Adult Swim has decided to cancel their animated series China, IL after three seasons. Series creator Brad Neely announced the news to his Twitter followers and wrote, “Update: China, IL is done forever. My other show called TV SUCKS lives forever and will air soonish.”
China, IL revolves around the “Worst College in America” which is The University of China, Illinois. The school’s terrible reputation is celebrated by the faculty and staff who can often be found over-drinking and trying to find ways to avoid teaching. The eclectic voice cast includes Neely, Greta Gerwig, Hulk Hogan, Jeffrey Tambor, Gary Anthony Williams, and Jason Walden.
The animated project began as a web series and debuted on Adult Swim as a regular series on October 2, 2011. It ran for three seasons of 10 episodes with the last installment airing on June 14th.
What do you think? Did you like the China, IL TV show? Would you have watched a fourth season?
One of the best shows. I always looked forward to watching new episodes
I can believe how bad things are at Adult Swim, the shows are getting worse and worse the few show I like are cancelled and the prevalence of live action crap is getting more out of hand than they were on cartoon network 10 years ago (those were dark terrible times) there are dark days ahead, with no hope in sight.
Come on china illinois was the best I’m so mad it’s not on any more i would do anything to have it back please
Bring back china il,i love that show and all its characters
Yes!!!!! I was just getting into it!
Ridiculous!!! China, Il was the best show on Adult Swim. I literally set an alarm to go off at 11:30 so I could watch the show. Come on, pull it together Brad Neely! You have a dedicated fan base here and your cutting the cord on us.
MAyor MAD!! Not enough God-fearing shows on Adult Swim-amen-
This was my favorite show and the best show on Adult Swim. Season 2 of Rick and Morty is a disapointment as well
The show was terrible.
Why? Every character was awesome and the show was so successful! I liked it even better than Rick and Morty and Robot Chicken. First Aqua Teen Hunger Force gets cancelled, and now THIS? Come on, Adult Swim!
I would have watched! China IL is the bomb. Frank was the best and Steve was too. I didn’t like baby cakes though. Pony was an ok character.
But CN owns Adult Swim, does it not ? They’re not separate entities.
Not sure why they cancelled it, not like Adult Swim has anything better to do. The Eric André show is deplorable and they still air “Metalocalypse”. I mean, seriously?
No more freakin’ Eric Andre, PLEASE ! They call it ” Cartoon Network ” for a reason……
Actually it’s Adult Swim not Cartoon Network. Don’t be one of those douchebags.
We need a fourth season!! We want more china il!
Noooooooo!!!! Why would this happen, when there are a pool of other mediocre shows to pull from and cancel. Boo. I guess I still have Ricky and Morty:)
Just as long as they don’t replace it with more live – action dreck……
