Just because no-one has mentioned these yet:

Cartoon Planet
The Bob Clampett Show
Rocky & Bullwinkle (apparently... I'd like to see more proof of this)
Mr. T
Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos
The Super Globetrotters
The Gary Coleman Show

Notice that these were all "filler" programs when Adult Swim was first growing in size.

I dont recall Cartoon Planet ever airing on AS. Not a show, but Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is probably the only movie that's aired on both CN and AS.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast, technically. Adult Swim didn’t exist when it premiered.

Adult Swim wouldn't exist without Space Ghost Coast To Coast... actually a lot of Cartoon Network's most significant milestones (such as the cartoon cartoons or even Toonami) SGC2C also had a hand in but that's neither here nor there.

If we are counting Toonami shows I'm surprised no one's brought up Big O yet considering that was a show that aired on Toonami that Adult Swim wound up actually SAVING... or at least co funding a second season meant to bring a conclusion to the series people are still very split on but yeah Big O did air on CN and AS.

I think there’s still archives of it elsewhere, but I don’t know. There was a really good find with the Bob Clampett stuff years back that got taken down.

Anyone remember Captain Sturdy? He got a pilot short as part of the Cartoon Cartoon program, and then a second pilot premiered on Adult Swim. I can't think of too many other potential series that got pilots on both CN and AS. (I know Adult Swim's Neon Knome became Cartoon Network's Problem Solverz.)

In the now, man
Surprised nobody's mentioned Dragonball Z yet.
Naruto i guess?
These are good answers, going from daytime Toonami to late night, and there's also Outlaw Star, which aired "uncut" episodes during the first Saturday night block.

But how about a series that went from [adult swim] to the daytime? Yu Yu Hakusho pulled that off.

I started a thread similar to this almost 8 years ago. Time flies its crazy. Shows that started off on Cartoon Network then moved to adult swim. Full credit goes to "Daikun" for helping me out with this list. I know a lot of these have already been mentioned. But I do want to say real quick, since I made this thread years ago, Adventure Time and not 100% sure but Bob's Burgers??? are the two I can think of from the top of my head that's aired on both Cartoon Network & Adult Swim since.

If you're gonna include those, then you gotta include Sealab 2021 and Harvey Birdman. Those also had unannounced previews on CN.

Yeah, Bob's Burgers has been quietly blurring the lines between CN and AS on Sundays lately.

Dexter’s Laboratory kinda counts and it kinda doesn’t.

Because Adult Swim was hyping up having the Rude Removal episode and they premiered it on their website. I also saw Tartakovsky show off an excerpt of Dexter at one of the Adult Swim Festivals in Los Angeles on a miscellaneous note.
