Super Strike Trilogy - 1995 65-episode cartoon produced by DiC Entertainment based on the first three Strike series of video games published by Electronic Arts, with 20 episodes represented covering Desert Strike, Jungle Strike and Urban Strike, plus a 5-episode clipshow and was produced as a tie-in to the SEGA CD game of the same name.
This is actually something that could have been made, between DIC's mid-90s output, their association with Sega and other minor studios, and other comparisons here and there.
Just erase the word Trilogy from the initial release, and we're good.
Narcos
Semi-comedy series about a misspelled bar that much of Miami assumes is a hangout for the drug lords. This brings the owner Marco notoriety, money, and trouble - by the kilo. Ran for a surprising 9 seasons with a memorable finale involving a four-way shootout between Russian mob, Colombian cartels, Sicilian Mafia, and Miami's finest.

Adventure Time- A fantastical variety show showng the various adventures of various individuals and groups. Serving as a form of successor to shows like Oh Yeah! Cartoons albeit with the theme and motif on questing and the hints of serial storytelling. Many prominent shows would find their footing here like Infinity Train, Steven Universe, and various others.
Regular Show- Considered an animated successor to Seinfeld, it shows the life and times of a group of actors/writers trying to make a "show about nothing" and chronicling their regular lives, though with heavy elements of magic realism. Lauded for its well-written character development, metacontextual discussions along with making plenty of constructive criticism to various tropes and shows.

From what I'm getting of these, Adventure Time would be the What a Cartoon equivalent for original action-adventure cartoons, while Mordecai and Rigby would actually have real jobs from the start of the show?
If this is true, I have two questions.
1: Would Finn and Jake, as well as the other residents of Ooo, be featured in hosting segments between the pilots?
2: Does this timeline's Regular Show become zanier or more realistic as the show moves forward?
The Taming of the Shrew-Program about how to look after shrews.
The Merchant of Venice-Friends, but set in the 1500s. It bombed.

Yup more or less. As for your questions:
1- Probably over time they'd be brought in and form a sort of meta-plot between them, usually in teasting in fantasy archetypes and the like.
2- Some weird mix of both; a fair bit of character-driven drama and so on,but with increasing bits of magic realism and exploiting the trope "Reality is Unrealistic" to heaven and hell and back (to where they'd likely get ascended for it on TTL's TVTropes Pantheon)
Jones (2017-present): A "gritty" reimagining of the Junie B. Jones children's books that premiered on the CW in 2017. It is mostly known for being vastly different from the original source material, portraying all the characters as teenagers/young adults in high school (and later in college) and having a much darker, adult tone to it. Critics have given it mixed reviews while most fans of the original books have panned it, but despite that, the show was still renewed and is currently in it's 6th season, AND it was renewed for a 7th and final season which will premiere sometime in early 2023.
At least when Riverdale made the Archie universe dark and gritty, it had potential, given how some elements of the earlier comics have not aged that well in retrospect.
But a gritty retelling of Junie B. Jones? WHY?!?
are we allowed to make up names for shows? or stick to existing names of shows and movies?

Harry Potter (2001 - 2010) An animated series on Kid's WB and later Cartoon Network based on the popular children's book series. It's showrunner was Glen Murkami and It's voice cast consisted of Tara Strong as the titular character, Frankie Muniz as Ron Weasly, Grey Griffin as Hermoine Granger, Tony Jay as Albus Dumbledore until his death afterwhich he was replaced by Corey Burton, and Mark Hamill as Voldermort. It's widely considered Kid's WB's best show and one of the best animated shows of the 2000s. It's runnaway success would pique Warner Bros interest in the franchise, spurning a live-action adaptation in 2010 starring Issac Hempstead Wright as the titular character, Jack Gleeson as Ron Weasly, Maisie Williams as Hermoine Granger, Patrick Stewart as Dumbledore, and Andy Serkis as Voldermort.
In my opinion it's no weirder then the direction they took Nancy Drew. What's next Encyclopedia Brown as a spy thriller?Honestly, because I thought it'd be funny to see
This is absolutely awesome!
I'll be back with something later....
