Nope. The show wouldn't be bound by that if it moves to another network like [adult swim] or FX that is not a children's network (although there is virtually no possibility of the show moving to FX because it is owned by a different network. but it already has two seasons as a kids show so it is viewed as a kids show by people in charge, advertisers, etc. i couldnt take south park or family guy and say its now a kids show because it has a reputation as something that isnt a kids show and the same stands the other way. Not really, no. They'll just see a show that got consistently high ratings that was cancelled because it couldn't move a toy line. It succeeded as a show, but failed as a kids show, so networks whose revenue doesn't come from toylines but from ad space should be more than interested in the show.

Furthermore, the show has a reputation for: 1) mature and serious themes, 2) a complex plot, and 3) some of the best animation out there. Those are the things other networks might be interested in.
