I was watching a commercial for Frisky Dingo and somebody was eating a bowl of Cap'n Crump cereal.

I think Frisky Dingo is the funniest show on TV besides 30 Rock, but as a 21-year-old fan of comics, rap and marijuana I'm probably in the show's target demographic.

Is Assy McGee any good?

I feel like I only catch the actual AS cartoons occasionally now and just end up bitching about how it used to be better. To me, it's going to be really hard to beat the first few seasons with Aqua Teen / Sealab / Home Movies / Brak Show / Space Ghost.

Although if I had to pick only one of the somewhat newer crop, it'd probably be Robot Chicken.

― mh. (mike h.), Monday, 15 January 2007 04:58 (nineteen years ago)

My current sigline should make it clear to many of you, but for the rest let me spell it out:

METALOCALYPSE!

(not as great as VB, actually, but it is fresher in my mind)

xp Robot Chicken is great because since every skit is about 5 seconds long you never have to change the channel when a shitty one comes on. I wish SNL was like that.

The Boondocks, Cartoon Network's witty, controversial series, won't return this year as expected, says show creator Aaron McGruder.

The second season of the animated series, based on The Boondocks' comic strip, was given a late 2006/winter 2007 date to return to Cartoon Network's late-night block, Adult Swim, after its hugely successful first season (it was the highest-rated series premiere in Cartoon Network history).

Network execs, in fact, bumped the number of The Boondocks' episodes up from 15 to 20 - which seems to have contributed to the delay.

"Our production schedule is really, really long," says McGruder, who's publicizing the first-season DVD.

"We're halfway through the writing and just getting under way with the animation."

McGruder now says fans should look for the series to return in March.

[ . . . ]

"It's really hard," [McGruder] says. "We're working more and more with artists overseas. We now have a Japanese anime studio named Madhouse to help us out.

"I was happy with a lot of season one, but I thought a lot of it could look better. We're really passionate artists.

"The people working with me on the show are phenomenal, phenomenal artists and they really care about getting it right."

OPO? I've had the Pavement episode of Space Ghost on my TiVo since the week I got it three and a half years ago . . . so that one.

"That music you played was very bad! You're fired! Get me the Beatles!"

― A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Monday, 15 January 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

This happening after Aaron McGruder quit doing the strip supposedly so he could concentrate on the animated version kind of sucks for Boondocks fans.

Then again The Boondocks is probably the only show on Adult Swim that isn't done in crappy flash animation, so it probably takes a lot longer than the standard AS show.

― N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Monday, 15 January 2007 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

Venture Brothers.

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Monday, 15 January 2007 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

Boondocks kind of sucks, period.
Venture Brothers in a walk, for me.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 15 January 2007 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

Is Harvey Birdman still on/funny?

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 15 January 2007 22:22 (nineteen years ago)

I love Venture Brothers to an unreasonable degree. How can you not love any show that features Klaus Nomi as an evil henchman?

Harvey Birdman is done.

― N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Monday, 15 January 2007 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

I was about to be all "wtf Boondocks is incredible wtf" but then I remember how I've never found Venture Bros funny even though lots of people like it and then I also remember diff'rent strokes for diff'rent people or whatever.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Monday, 15 January 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

RIP Birdman :(

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 15 January 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

I went as Harvey Birdman at a Halloween gig once. Playing drums while wearing a wool blazer, a mask, and 6 ft wings kind of sucked incredible ass.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Monday, 15 January 2007 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

fair enough mister baron kickass

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

Hey you guys! Check the note in the margins on this week's "Maakies" strip!

― Tuesdays With Morimoto (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

DID ANYONE SEE ME ON TIM AND ERIC TONIGHT? IT ALSO FEATURED THIS GREAT CRAZY DUDE FROM LOCAL 818 PUBLIC ACCESS THAT DOES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PUPPET HOUR.

― chaki, Monday, 5 March 2007 08:03 (nineteen years ago)

i'll look for you it's on next

― marmotwolof, Monday, 5 March 2007 08:42 (nineteen years ago)

I think I saw you for a sec. that "making it" in hollywood thing?

― marmotwolof, Monday, 5 March 2007 08:58 (nineteen years ago)

On a related note, my OPO was Tom Goes to the Mayor but is now Time and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, easily.

― Ben Boyerrr, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:25 (nineteen years ago)

hahay yah if you blinked you missed me

― chaki, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:32 (nineteen years ago)

well there was a dude towards the back w/ dark hair & a beard so if that was you, I saw you. if you didn't have a beard that day I have no idea which dude was you.

― marmotwolof, Monday, 5 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

Frisky Dingo is fucking excellent.

― HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:21 (nineteen years ago)

I found another Adult Swim show I cannot stand that all my friends love: Squidbillies. Just. Not. Funny.

Ever.

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

I think I only actually ever watch Adult Swim anymore for Futurama or bizarre anime that I find compelling but will never understand (a la Paranoia Agent).

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

I love Squidbillies so much, especially the sheriff. That guy's voice is so familiar...

― Rock Hardy, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:33 (nineteen years ago)

Paranoia Agent is fucking excellent rught up until they explain what's going on, at which point it becomes incredibly irritating.

― HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

I don't get Adult Swim but I agree w/ hi dere re: Paranoia Agent is good until the explanation (although the akira-esque explosion of goopy pain was pretty awesome, and Susumu Hirasawa (sp?) is a god of music)

― Will M., Monday, 5 March 2007 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

The best ep of Paranoia Agent was the suicide club one!!! It was so sweet and silly.

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

Also am I the only one who found Shounen Bat/Lil Slugger waaay more menacing as a little kid than as a demon?

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

Squidbillies and Aqua Teen both kinda tickle me.

And there was one part of one episode of 12 Oz Mouse that I was in tears for, but other than that moment I find it profoundly unfunny.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

btw I think it is much better in Japanese w/ subtitles, the subtitling is incredibly done, the opening theme has a phonetical follow-the-bouncing-ball singalong! and "Shounen Bat" sounds so much more hardcore than "Lil Slugger".

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:42 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, the whole meltdown is awesome, but the reason for it is like the twee-est most smackable thing they could have ever come up with.

Best episodes: Suicide Club, Popular kid gets mistaken for Little Slugger, Virgin/Whore, Chief's wife rebukes Little Slugger/Chief succumbs to Little Slugger

― HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

Bleach is fucking awesome, btw, if completely incomprehensible if you only watch it once every three weeks.

― HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

haha, totally agreed. Actually the incomrehensibility of it is part of the charm, for me at least.

I can't get into EHreka 7 though.

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

If they pronounced it YOO-REEK-AH as opposed to OI-WRECKA I would like it about a billion times more.

I will also rep for Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop until the day I die.

― HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:12 (nineteen years ago)

(On second thought, I would still have issues with the whole "Gecko State" thing.)

― HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

two years pass...

I've been watching Relocated at the website every week and it just keeps getting better.

― billstevejim, Sunday, 22 March 2009 06:13 (seventeen years ago)
