QC as a show on Adult Swim.
Insignificant:
Then again, it's also likely at least one savvy advisor on staff would quickly realise that that's all part of the freakin' appeal. And if they've got a network that can get away with it...
I could see it being a detriment to the comic, though. Which would, naturally, utterly suck.
akronnick:
That's not how entertainment execs think.
They think: "we're gonna get the 'core' audience, they'll watch no matter what. Let's go for a wider audience!"
And they turn everything into Mickey fucking Mouse.

Which wouldn't happen if it was picked up by any company, and if it did, the strip would suffer badly. Executive meddling would ruin the show, in fact I can just see it now, the guys-in-suits in their boardroom brainstorming, pitching ideas to Jeph, "Does Pintsize need to be so offensive? How about we make Dora a permanent blonde? Let's make Faye thinner. Does Marten's mother really need to be a fetish model? How about we make her a housewife and she's still together with Henry, and he isn't gay."
I can also see a news report about a webcomic writer going on a rampage targeting executives.

Are you familiar with Adult Swim at all? They are more likely to give Pintsize a more prominent role making abortion jokes and have Marten's mom walking around in bondage gear all the time.

I am fully aware of Adult Swim, any night I wasn't studying or going out for a drink in colege were spent watching Adult Swim. But its not the only company who would be interested in producing a show (hypothetically). And while this topic is about Adult Swim, my point was more about those other companies.
AnAverageWriter:
If the rest of Adult Swim's original programming is any indication, a QC show would take the strip, rip out anything even remotely humorous, replace it with repeated gross-out/sex/violence jokes and have none of the wit of the strip.
There's a reason why Bill Watterson refused to allow his show to be animated, despite multiple offers.
Modern TV is the purest distillation of idiocy.
