Shows on Adult Swim
Here I'll rate the various shows on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. I'll focus on the original shows (everyone knows enough about Family Guy and Futurama) and deftly avoid the anime stuff (I really have no idea what I'm talking about if I get into anime).
Home Movies - Pretty variable. One week I'll love it, the next week I won't laugh all episode. Pretty annoying advertisements, too.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast - How can I make fun of Space Ghost. He's the man. The show rules too...Except recently, it seems like it's been running out of steam. What a shame. Did anyone ever go to the ultra cool Space Ghost Council of Doom website. It seems gone now, and redirects to the Adult Swim page. They should really bring that back.
Sealab: 2021 - I love Sealab. I think it's the best thing on Adult Swim.
Mission Hill - They don't show this enough. I like it a lot. The one comedian, with the blond hair, looks really dorky... was in Just Shoot Me and actually in the Seinfeld episode with Gonorrhea... I think he does the voice of the one guy on Mission Hill. I'm not really sure. Anyway, it's a good show.
The Oblongs - I've said this before, but Will Ferrell doesn't save this show. It's just not funny.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - I really have to focus to get the jokes on this. Either that or lots of caffeine. Really funny when I can pay attention.
And now...
THE BONUS SECTION!
I'll try talking about anime, despite having said that this would be a bad idea.
Witch Hunter Robin - This is a "new" show being run by Cartoon Network. I saw an episode of it while doing some Differential Equations homework. It's very, very dark. I'm not sure why. It has really atmospheric city scenes and stuff, too. It doesn't really seem to have a point though, cause it's not really frightening. Maybe I just saw a bad episode.
Big O - No this isn't the hotdog place, the Original Hot Dog Shop where I get a late night fry fix. One night really late I saw one of these. All of a sudden the show hypnotized me and I had to watch the whole thing. Basically in short the show is this: A guy has this big robot which he uses to fight criminals with big robots and generally act like Batman. There is also this girl, and she actually is a robot. Cool, huh? At the Original Hot Dog Shop, they actually have a menu item called the Big O. I'm not sure what it is, but it would be cool if when I ordered it I got a giant mech.
Cowboy Bebop - Now this is one anime that I like. It's really very cool. Check it out.
