I have a love/hate relationship with Adult Swim on Cartoon Network.

Things that I love about Adult Swim:

Venture Bros. - This show has had me laughing so hard I've cried and my sides hurt on many occasions.

Futurama - Yeah, they're all re-runs, and I've seen 'em all about a million times, but they're still fun.

Family Guy - I was a latecomer to the Family Guy scene. I'm glad I have the oppotunity to see how fucking funny it is in re-run form. And I anxiously await it's relaunch on Fox.

Sealab 2021 - Still makes me giggle, even though it's starting to get awfully stupid. The older episodes are comedy gold, though.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law - IF they'd show this at a decent hour and on a regular schedule, I'd probably be a bigger fan. It's still pretty funny, though.

Robot Chicken - Yes, it's very hit or miss, and entirely too short, but when it hits, it hits hard on the funnybone.


Things I hate about Adult Swim:

They're constantly changing around their schedule. Pick a fucking time for all your progams and leave them there!

Tom Goes to the Mayor - I know it takes all types, but c'mon. This show it pure, unadulterated shit no matter how you cut it. And the "animation" makes my eyes bleed.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force - I'm so going to get flamed for this... I apologize to the fans I'm sure to offend with the following - every time I try and watch this show, I can feel my IQ dropping. Piss poor writing, bad animation (which I can forgive in Sealab, because it's supposed to be bad), lack of plot, and side characters that have nothing to do with the show (who the fuck is the old guy with the glass helmet, and who the fuck are the 2 pixel people, and what the hell do they have to do with the show??). I guess I'm too old or not cool enough to get it. I just wish it'd go away.

Entirely too much goddamn anime. Now don't get me wrong, I like anime. I'm huge fan of Cowboy Bebop, Berserk, Helsing, etc. I own copies of Ninja Scroll, X, Vampire Hunter D, Armitage III, Kite, and Akira. But what's with the endless blocks of subpar anime on Adult Swim? Can't they get better stuff?


Okay, rant over. Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with Adult Swim? Or have I finally lost my everloving 'lil mind with this post?

Oh, and flame on.

Actually I agree with you on all points.

Though I don't actually like anime that much in general.

If there was NO anime, I'd be happy. But I do like Cowboy Bebop.

If I never saw another re-run of Family Guy, it would be too soon. I've been watching the same episodes for five years now, I want the new shit or get off the air.

Sealab 2021 hasn't been funny since the Bizarro episode.

And it's not my problem if you don't get the Mooninites. That's an issue you have to take up with your God.

You're the first person I've ever known who felt the same way I do about the pros and cons of Adult Swim. I so lurve you even more now.

I'm very picky about anime. About 95% of it I can't stand. But the good stuff is usually very, very good.

I used to watch some of these shows on a short-lived channel on Sky TV called "CNX" - which was half AAA movies and half Cowboy Bebop, Space Ghost, Sealab etc. It was fucking fantastic! And it got axed without warning.

Why does everything I love die? frown

I agree with you on most of your points except for Aqua Teen. I hated it at first but then I watched an episode, so now when its on I won't automatically turn it off.
Too much anime, I agree.

And has anyone see the "Stoner" subliminal messages or whatever? In the top corner of the screen it will be advertising for something, but then in the bottom corner it says something like "stoner 7." Someone tell me I'm not crazy.

Venture Brothers is the best flippin show ever. Ever. Family Guy is a very close second, or maybe even ties for first. Futurama and Robot Chicken also rock.

I don't like Harvey Birdman though, or Sealab.

I enjoy most animes. Save Super Milk Chan, I hate that show with a passion that has, until now, never been experienced on Earth before.

Damn! I knew I left something off the hate list. Yes, Milk Chan sucks even harder than Tom Goes to the Mayor. Which is a pretty neat trick considering how bad TGTTM sucks.

Just love from me. But the again I have a TiVo and just record the shows I want to watch.

And I like the Super Milk Chan DVD I have. But that might be because I'm weird.
