The Retro Awesomeness of Adventure Time

Season 2012 Episode 27 | 5m 33s

Adventure Time is an animated kids show on the Cartoon Network that is super popular, not just with the kids, but with full grown adults too! Why would a bunch of serious adults, including Mike's Mom, watch Adventure Time? We think its because the show taps into our memories of childhood with nostalgia. Are we right? Watch and find out!
