I should like more of Adult Swim, but I don't. Too old and jaded, maybe. The idea of seeing cheap Hanna-Barbera style animated figures curse and say naughty things wore off around 1999. Robot Chicken's good, but goes a very long way. Aqua Teen Hunger Force made me think "this is clever, but do I have something better to do than listen to a sarcastic floating self-aware French Fry container?" Turns out I did. I hate Family Guy. Yes, it's funny. I still hate it. Remember that time they did that one thing? Right. KOTH was an American treasure; it loved its characters much more than the Simpsons writers ever did, which is why it'll hold up for a long, long time. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, along with Harvey Birdman and the Brak Show, was probably the highlight of Williams Street contributions - I mean, just look at some of their upcoming titles: "Mary Shelley's Frankenhole." Or "Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge," which I expect will be about My Little Ponies who swear and defecate.
Venture Bros. return dates set?
Can't come soon enough.
