Is it just me... (Adult Swim Topic)

Or is the Adult Swim Sunday Night line-up going downhill with haste?

Whatever happened to the good ole' days of ATHF, Sealab 2021, Space Ghost CtC? Well, okay, the second two there were cancelled. But what the hell is 12 oz Mouse? And Squidbillies? And Perfect Hair Forever?? Besides flaming piles of crap that is....

It seems like a trend right now to make a cartoon with THE worst possible animation and have it be as rude and crude as limits will allow, then let it fly. At least Boondocks, while I am not fond of every episode of the show, is terrifically animated! Maybe in June when Venture Bros. comes back I won't feel like gouging my eyes out when insomnia strikes on a Sunday night anymore. No promises though.

Next time...put some more content in your topic message. I didn't even know you was talking about Adult Swim. Maybe if you mention it in the title you can get some traffic.

The Boondocks are great. I only found 1 esipode to be bad (well the last 15 minutes of the esipode was).

Space Ghost Coast to Coast is not excatly Adult Swim (AS). That has been on around late nights on CN long ago (The Elvira one was the best). I think AS did show maybe 4 or 5 new esipodes though, ones including ATHF.

Robot Chicken is by far the funniest. It's brillant.

Perfect Hair Forever . . . is pretty funny and sometimes 12 oz Mouse is. Not the perfect artwork, but it's got the humor.

To tell you the truth man, ATHF and Perfect Hair Forever is not all that different in art.

Gigantor was the last straw, I only watch scifi, and discovery channel now.

I agree with you about Gigantor. Doesn't that belong on Boomerang with Ricochet Rabbit and the Flintstones?

And Riki, I agree with you about the animation with PHF and ATHF but the HUMOUR of ATFH is vastly superior. I mean Sealab 2021 was on par animation-wise but it was the writing that made it standout. I know SG:CTC was around before Adult Swim but it was a Flagship AS title when AS came into existence.

Robot Chicken is pretty funny, just a shame that it's only 15 minutes and that it's been so long since we've seen anything knew. Seth Green is a funny MoFo any way you look at it.

Boondocks is REALLY hit or miss with me. Sometimes I think they use it as an excuse to have an animated version of Russel Simmons Def Comedy Jam. I also think their politcal agenda is a bit too heavy sometimes. Just like Moral Orel. Anything to bash a particular group. Good Episodes for me involved a Pimp Named Slickback and "The Itis". Others just seem like Black Panther Saturday Morning TV :P Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just not for me.

They brought the boondocks. There is no "excuse" about it.
