A place for news and discussion of animated shows, shorts, or movies aimed at audiences 13+.
CONDUCT RULES
1) No bigotry (sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia).
2) Be civil, kind, and try to stay positive. Not every show is for everyone and you’re free to give a critique; someone giving reasons why they didn’t enjoy something may help others decide if it’s for them. However, if people are discussing a show and you come along just to say, ‘This sucks, I hate it.’ that’s just being negative and unhelpful- Please don’t. Try just not venturing into posts about shows you personally despise.
POST RULES
3) No porn/hentai.
4) Tag nudity NSFW. Sometimes these shows contain nudity and non-pornographic nudity is allowed; but it must be tagged NSFW.
5) EVERYDAY Posts that are text (comments or questions or discussion starters) or links (articles or videos) and are related in some way to a non-anime adult animation are always welcome, regardless of if a theme day is also active.
6) THEME DAYS
Meme Mondays Image/Meme/Fanart posts relating to anything animated (adult, family-friendly, and anime) welcome on Mondays. (Remember rules 3-4; and if you share someone else's art, please credit and link to their social media.)
Anime Tuesdays and Thursdays Posts pertaining to adult anime welcome on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [Note: Anime means animation originating from Japan. It does not mean animation originating from other Asian countries or Western animation that uses an anime style of art; those would be considered non-anime.]
Family Fridays Posts pertaining to family-friendly animation (including family-friendly anime) welcome on Fridays.
Full disclosure- I have never moderated a community before. I started this because it’s something I would like to see. If it picks up and I can’t keep up, or whatever, I would be open to turning over the reigns to someone else.

Alright, I've seen Futurama, Simpsons, Clone High, Family Guy and Cowboy Bebop. I'll suggest some shows and include where they legally reside [in the US]. (There are other ways but I'll leave those to the communities about that.) I'm not sure our tastes are very similar and these are mostly known, I don't tend to know obscure things, so you may have already tried them all; but-
Pantheon - Sci-Fi - Prime Video - season 2 airing now
A lot of what you mentioned is comedy, whereas this one is serious but it is a sci-fi, like a few of the shows you like. I think it's pretty solid but I'll warn that it doesn't feel binge-able because it's a bit intense.
Central Park - Musical Sit-Com - Apple TV+ - 3 seasons - neither renewed nor canceled
You didn't mention Bob's Burgers, but this is from the same creator/studio. You mentioned early Simpsons so maybe you'd like this, though that depends on your feeling towards musicals too.
F is for Family - Sit-Com - Netflix - 5 seasons - Ended
Unlike Central Park, this one is more in line with Family Guy. It's more raunchy than the other sit-coms on this list, but it's also got a 70s setting that gives it a good feel and some uniqueness.
Close Enough - Sit-Com - VOD purchase amazon/apple/vudu - 3 seasons - Canceled
From the creator of Regular Show. This one is shorter episodes and pretty much just comedy and a bit surreal.
Bless the Harts - Sit-Com - Hulu - 2 seasons - Canceled
This is another more wholesome sit-com, it's also a bit more southern. You didn't mention King of the Hill; but if you liked any of that, you'd maybe like this. It's mostly grounded and only occasionally a bit over the top. The first season is better than the second, in my opinion.
Inside Job - Sci-Fi Sit-Com - Netflix - 2 parts - Canceled
I kind of mostly mention this one because I feel like it got more solid praise than a lot of recent adult animation. Seems like everything that comes out faces very mixed reviews but most people seemed to like this one.
Captain Fall - Dark Comedy - Netflix - 1 season - neither renewed nor canceled
This one I'll admit is a complete shot in the dark and I'm probably way off base here- I never really got into the Venture Bros but when I see clips of that and the trailer for this they give me the same sort of uninterested feeling. I don't think the plot-lines are really all that similar but they both feel, idk action-y. It's similar to how I feel about Archer too- I don't tend to get into action/spy/adventure like things much.
Anyway, if you are ever looking for suggestions you can def make a post anytime, other people probably know shows I don't. Or maybe some show that isn't out yet will be more your speed in the future. It seems like adult animation might be on the rise, so maybe, never know.
