List of Adventure Time episodes

Adventure Time is an American animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by 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. Along the way, they interact with the other main characters of the show: Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch), the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), and Marceline the Vampire Queen (voiced by Olivia Olson).

The show originally began in 2008 with a pilot for Random! Cartoons on Nicktoons Network. The pilot quickly became a cult hit on YouTube when it was continually removed and then re-added by different sources. It launched as its own series on April 5, 2010, on Cartoon Network. The show is currently on its fifth season. At least 182 episodes have been ordered, 146 of which have aired. Episodes are 11 minutes long. The first four seasons comprised 26 episodes; however, the fifth season will have 52 episodes. Adventure Time is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Frederator Studios. The series is rated TV-PG. Several compilation DVDs have been released. In addition, both the first and second seasons have been released on DVD and Blu-ray, and a season three DVD is expected to be released in February 2014.

Ever since its debut, Adventure Time has been a ratings success for Cartoon Network. As of March 2012, the show is viewed by approximately 2 to 3 million viewers per week. The show has received positive reviews 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. Adventure Time has also been nominated for twelve Annie Awards,  five Primetime Emmy Awards, two Critics' Choice Television Awards,  and a Sundance Film Festival Award among other awards. In 2013, the series won a Motion Picture Sound Editors Award for the episode "Card Wars", former character designer Andy Ristaino won an Emmy for "Outstanding Individual Achievement In Animation" for his character designs in the episode "Puhoy", and the series won a British Academy Children's Award for best international series.
