If the series were made already thinking about [adultswim] or blocks like that, there would probably have more adult jokes and fan-service. The jokes usually are teen-oriented in TDI and TDA.

I really don't see a high level of "maturity". Maybe you can call them grown-up, dirty or sincere refeences, but NOT ALWAYS mature.

I'd love to see TDRI, TDAS, TDPI and RR with that TDI mentality tho. I really don't know what to think about TDWT. I guess it's still teen-oriented, but the pace doesn't allow much room for those kind of references. Same wih RR, while I enjoyed the "more grown-up" references without the need of them being always dirty. While I love spicy jokes, I also think that much of that would tire the non-casual viewer.

TDPI and TDAS are obviously children-oriented. TDRI I an't really say, it's obvious they tried to make a teen-oriented TOO, but failed. The focus of these seasons became the competition and the good vs. evil rather than the actual interactions, which could provide us those more grown-up references. Now that I think about it, the interactions in TDAS were really lame and competitive. TDPI had good interactions though, so in this season I find really hard to opinate about this. Only that it's obviously kid-oriented, even with Skave (i guess the only teen-oriented scenes).

So the series goes by diminishing adult, dirty, grown-up references and adding gross, cartoony, hysterical elements. Untill RR, who came to save us all =) RR had adult, grown-up and hysterical elements mainly (I honestly don't remember dirty, cartoony and SO MUCH gross elements in it).
