The popular slacker's cartoon, Rocko's Modern Life, will return for a special. From Wikipedia:
After being in space for around 20 years, Rocko and his friends attempt to conform to an even more modern life in O-Town, where coffee shops are on every corner, food trucks offer multi-layered tacos [and] touch-screen O-Phones are being upgraded on a near-constant basis
Rocko's Modern Life may also be returning as a series. A friend noted that it would make a very transition to an adult cartoon after its numerous inuendo. Who could forget the milking machine incident?

The best innuendo happens when getting shit under the radar. When you take away the "family-friendly" requirement, all that happens is:
1. You can't watch it around kids,
2. Therefore you lose the 25-40 demographic that has kids around,
3. And also the jokes aren't clever anymore.
Not that "adult" cartoons never have clever jokes. If your primary audience is adults, your jokes can require a bit more brain power to be funny. But that doesn't mean that the "adult" jokes are necessarily sexual, violent, or otherwise kid-inappropriate. Without those things it can at least be safe to watch around kids, which has its own value whether or not the kids will actually enjoy watching.

Drawn Together was designed to be funny as an adult cartoon. Rocko's Modern Life has setting and characters that were built to do clever jokes for a mature audience while still being family friendly and inherently funny to children. I don't think either of the two could retool itself for the other's audience without significantly changing its very essence.
