If you don't get Adult Swim on your TV (It's on Cartoon Network). Here's the site: http://www.adultswim.com/shows/index.html - http://www.adultswim.com/shows/index.html When you can't sleep at night this is one the best cable channels to visit, except of course for the ones that show Paid Programming.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Sealab 2020 is probably my favorite of those, I enjoy ATHF and Venture Bros. quite a lot as well.

As much as I love Metalocalypse and Superjail, ATHF is still my fave.

^ That's a really odd one and oddly enough not on the site. The one's towards the bottom I either haven't seen or maybe seen only once and probably not all the way through.  Three on the list I've enjoyed enough to get the DVDs: The Boondocks, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Robot Chicken. My wife's a huge King of the Hill fan. I think it's OK, but am not nearly as big on it. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

ATHF with no contest. The Brak Show comes in second, then Sealab. -------------

Darkplace was an incredibly odd one as well, I enjoyed all 3 or so episodes of it I ever managed to see. Frisky Dingo was great, but it didn't last very long.

| I'm surprised that I was the first to vote for Venture Bros. When I heard that they reference Progressive Rock, I've been a fan ever since. |

Venture Brothers
only one on the list to glorify Prog in an episode -------------  Time always wins. |

Venture Bros is good, but it just can't match Sealab for me.

You are missing Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! That would have been my vote and im sure at least one other person on this forum because someone (I forget who) has a character from that show as their avatar. |

Gotta love Robot Chicken. I also enjoy ATHF, Venture Bros., Harvey Birdman, Metalocalypse and Squidbillies. Of their non-original programs, The Oblongs and Home Movies are quite fun.

The Venture Bros for me, it has the best pop culture references of any show just one of the hundreds of reasons why it's my favorite

| I'd also be voting for Tim & Eric if they'd made it onto your list. In their absence I'm going for Look Around You which, whilst technically a BBC show which Adult Swim owns the broadcasting rights to in the US, is simply one of the best shows of the last decade. |

I had to go for Robot Chicken because it's alive.. And the Les Claypool opening theme song doesn't hurt either. ATHF is probably my second fav. No one's voted for The Boondocks yet. The episode where Grandad is dating Luna will make anyone laugh their asses off. The censored BET episode is also extremely funny. Squidbillies is one of those that's like driving by a car crash, you can't help but look at it as you pass by. Same for Metalocalypse. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Lol. My favorite 'billies moment was an episode that involved a Larry the Cable Guy-type comedian named Plumber Bubba who turned out to be a space alien in disguise. When Early found him out, he yelled indignantly, "You ain't no plumber, and I'm havin' serious doubts about your bubbery!" That tickled me so much that I submitted "bubbery" to urbandictionary.com. And they took it.

The Venture Bros because they love Prog Rock.

I'm kind of thinking I feel the same way. Also that someone's been watching a little bit too much adult swim. Is your brain still OK? ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

SPAGETT!!!!!!! Spooked ya! Though I probably would have voted Tim and Eric as well, lately I've been more a fan of Tom Goes to the Mayor, which is also not on there. It is their style of humor, but more focused on creating a story of some kind. Though, I do love the randomness of awesome show. Tim and Eric, they really are one of those things you love 'em or you hate them. There seems to be no in between. But with adult swim, there are so many great shows. Harvey Birdman, Sealab, Squidbillies, hard to pick one favorite. ------------- Mom, I tore a big hole in the convertible |
