About this converter
Cartoon Network aired Adventure Time for ten seasons between April 2010 and September 2018. Season 5 is the longest with 52 episodes, close to a full double order. Season 9 is the shortest with 14 episodes. Early seasons hold 26 episodes each, while season 6 holds 43 after an extended order. This page compares all ten seasons by broadcast episode count, using Cartoon Network airdate listings and Frederator production records. Counts follow the aired season, so multi-part stories stay with the season in which they aired.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Season 5 against Season 9 to compare 52 episodes with 14. Then test Season 10 against Season 8 to see the 16 to 27 gap.
Season 10 lists 16 episodes in Cartoon Network segment counts. Some guides merge the four-part finale Come Along With Me into one entry and print 13, so 16 is used here to match the network count. The four Distant Lands specials aired on Max in 2020 and 2021 and sit outside the ten-season Cartoon Network run, so they are left out. The 2008 pilot short is not counted as a season episode. Counts treat each aired segment as one episode.
