Adventure Time is an American animated television media franchise created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. The first series, Adventure Time (2010–2018), follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. Throughout the series, they interact with the show's other main characters: Princess Bubblegum (Hynden Walch), the sovereign of the Candy Kingdom and a sentient piece of gum; the Ice King (Tom Kenny), a demented but largely misunderstood ice wizard; Marceline the Vampire Queen (Olivia Olson), a thousand-year-old vampire and rock music enthusiast; Lumpy Space Princess (Pendleton Ward), a melodramatic and immature princess made out of "irradiated stardust"; BMO (Niki Yang), a sentient video game console-shaped robot that lives with Finn and Jake; and Flame Princess (Jessica DiCicco), a flame elemental and ruler of the Fire Kingdom.[1][2] The pilot first aired in 2007 on Nicktoons Network,[3] where it was later re-aired on the incubator series Random! Cartoons.[4][5] The pilot was eventually uploaded onto the internet and became a cult hit on YouTube.[6] After Nickelodeon declined to turn the short into a full-fledged show, Cartoon Network purchased the rights, and Adventure Time launched as a series on April 5, 2010.[7][8] The series concluded its eight-year and ten-season run on September 3, 2018.[9] The series was followed by two spinoffs: Adventure Time: Distant Lands (2020–21) and Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake (2023–).
Each Adventure Time episode is about eleven minutes in length; pairs of episodes are often telecast in order to fill a half-hour program time slot.[10] For the first five seasons, the show aired on Monday nights.[a] However, starting with the early sixth-season episode "Breezy", the show began to shift both its timeslot and its day of airing.[11] Upon its debut, Adventure Time was a ratings success for Cartoon Network, with its highest-rated episodes scoring over 3 million viewers. The show received universal acclaim from critics and has developed a strong following among teenagers and adults, many of whom are attracted due to the series' animation, stories, and characters.[12] Adventure Time has won three Annie Awards,[13] eight Primetime Emmy Awards,[14] two British Academy Children's Awards,[15][16] a Motion Picture Sound Editors Award,[17] a Pixel Award,[18] a Peabody Award,[19] and a Kerrang! Award.[20] The series has also been nominated for three Critics' Choice Television Awards,[21][22][23] two Annecy Festival Awards,[24][25] a TCA Award,[26] and a Sundance Film Festival Award,[27] among others. Domestically, several compilation DVDs containing a random assortment of episodes have been released; additionally, all the seasons have been released in North America on DVD and seasons one to six were released on Blu-ray. All seasons were released on Blu-ray in Australia only. A North American box set containing the entire series was also released on DVD on April 30, 2019.[28] During its run, Adventure Time was a co-production between Frederator Studios and Cartoon Network Studios.

Notes
- Directors
- Explanatory notes
- The episode "Business Time" aired on March 11, 2010 as a "preview", several weeks before the official debut of the series.[29]
- The show's seventh season was originally intended to comprise 39 episodes, ranging from "Bonnie & Neddy" to "Reboot". However, when it came time to upload the seventh season onto streaming sites like CartoonNetwork.com, Cartoon Network chose to end the season with the episode "The Thin Yellow Line", for a total of 26 episodes. This new episode count for the season was cemented by the release of the complete seventh season DVD on July 18, 2017, which included episodes "Bonnie & Neddy" through "The Thin Yellow Line".[30]
- The two halves of the season seven episode "The More You Moe, The Moe You Know" were produced as two separate episodes, each with its own production code.[218][219] However, the official season seven DVD counts the two parts of "The More You Moe, The Moe You Know" as making up a single, collective episode, resulting in the DVD packaging listing only 25 episodes.[220] "The More You Moe, The Moe You Know" is being listed here as comprising two episodes to be consistent with the treatment of previous two-parters (e.g., season five's "Lemonhope", season three's "Holly Jolly Secrets").[221][222]
- The show's eighth season was originally intended to be 28 episodes long, comprising "Two Swords" through "Three Buckets". However, following the season seven re-shuffle, Cartoon Network recognized the season as comprising the 13 episodes that had originally made up the end of season seven (viz. "Broke His Crown" through "Reboot") and the 14 episodes that had made up the beginning of the original season eight (viz. "Two Swords" through the Islands miniseries). Cartoon Network then labelled the episodes "Orb" through "Three Buckets" as making up the show's ninth season.[30]
- The pilot initially was aired as a stand-alone short on Nicktoons Network January 11, 2007,[3][31] before it was re-aired as part of the Nicktoons' series Random! Cartoons on December 7, 2008.[5]
- David C. Smith storyboarded the final act, but is credited only as revisionist.[74]
- Larry Leichliter served as director for the first part of the season, before the title was phased out solely in favor of "supervising director".[110]
- On the credit screen for the episode "Davey", it is stated that the episode was storyboarded by Jesse Moynihan and Skyler Page. However, this is erroneous, and the episode was actually storyboarded by Page and Somvilay Xayaphone, according to Pendleton Ward.[117]
- According to Rebecca Sugar, Adam Muto also contributed "additional scenes" to the episode and "did a lot on this one and put it over the top."[125]
- "Evergreen" first aired on November 10, 2014 on Cartoon Network in Latin America.[164] "Astral Plane" was first uploaded on December 24, 2014 onto Cartoon Network's official Brazilian website.[165] "The Visitor" first aired on February 3, 2015 on Cartoon Network in South Korea.[166] "Friends Forever" and "Jermaine" aired on Cartoon Network in Latin America on April 6, 2015 and April 13, 2015 respectively.[167] However, because this field specifically refers to domestic airdates, the information here will denote when these episodes first aired in the United States.
- The Islands miniseries was released on DVD and made available for download on iTunes and Amazon.com on January 24.[235] However, because this field specifically refers to episode airdates, the information here will denote when these eight episodes first aired on Cartoon Network.
- Seven minutes of this episode were animated and directed by Alex & Lindsay Small-Butera.[239]
- "Orb" was released through the Cartoon Network phone App on April 14,[259] the Elements miniseries was released for download via iTunes on April 18,[260] and "Abstract" through "Three Buckets" were released via the Cartoon Network phone app on July 14.[261] However, because this field specifically refers to episode airdates, the information here will denote when these fourteen episodes first aired on Cartoon Network.
- Three sequences in this episode were animated and directed by Alex & Lindsay Small-Butera.[261]
- "Seventeen" was released on the Cartoon Network website on December 7, 2017;[273] "Ring of Fire", "Marcy & Hunson", and "The First Investigation" were released via the Cartoon Network phone app on December 8;[274] and "Blenanas", "Jake the Starchild", "Temple of Mars", and "Gumbaldia" were released via the Cartoon Network phone app and VOD on March 9.[275] However, because this field specifically refers to episode airdates, the information here will denote when this episode first aired on Cartoon Network.
- The special "Diamonds and Lemons", which is not considered a part of this season, aired before the four-part finale. This makes "Diamonds and Lemons" the show's 279th episode and the first part of "Come Along with Me" the show's 280th.
- This DVD is not a complete season two release, as it omits "It Came from the Nightosphere", "Death in Bloom", "Mortal Folly", and "Mortal Recoil".[303]
- This DVD is not a complete season three release, as it omits "The Creeps", "From Bad to Worse", "No One Can Hear You", "Jake vs. Me-Mow", and "Ghost Princess".[303]
