adult swim 2006 previews

April 7th, 2006


I’ve fallen off watching Adult Swim in the past year or so — still lamenting the cancellation of Home Movies and waiting for new episodes of Venture Bros. — but it’s good to see they’re still turning out new shows (clips are in H.264 Quicktime 7/VLC format, thanks Demon!):

…if I were a betting man, I’d bet here on “Korgoth”, “Death Clock”, and “Frisky Dingo” for the win.

    Korgoth, to my limited cultural touchstones, seems to be: Thundar + Groo + Conan.
    That Crook’d Slip looks weird if nothing else.

    As a fan still mourning Sealab 2021, my heart is with “Frisky Dingo”.

    I think they did the right thing by canceling Sealab. It’s better to go out without sucking first.

    Venture Bros., though… I mean, it’s eerie. It’s like they made it just for me.

    I hadn’t see the Crook’d Sip preview. I see some potential.

    Korgoth looks good, but mostly because I think Groo and Venture Bros. are funny, and it seems to be along similar lines.

    Assy McGee… well, I love a good fart joke, but I’m not sure I want to see ten hours of nothing but (I said butt!) over the course of a season.

    It should also be pointed out that they’re also playing Samurai Champloo, which is surprisingly good (by the creators of Cowboy Bebop) and Ghost in the Shell: SAC Second Gig, which are both excellent, but can be rented without commercials for much greater pleasure.

    Jon Benjamin (a.k.a. “Coach McGuirk”) is affiliated with “Assy McGee”, so there’s more hope there then there might seem at first glance. Which is to say “there is some hope” vs. “there is no hope”.

    I still watch, if only because it means I’ll never have to purchase or d/l the first couple of seasons of ATHF. Those fuckers are locked more strongly into fixed rotation than the moon. I mean, the show is (was?) great, but what jackass is lining up the schedule where a 15-minute show from 3 to 4 years ago occupies a solid 20% of your programming? Jesus, who would have thought you could ever actually ruin the Mooninites’ schtick. I mean, aside from some drunken choad who thinks he does a fantastic impersonation of Ignignokt to whom you would have been unfortunate enough to have mentioned your interest in adult swim in an ill-advised effort to make friendly conversation at some party that you never wanted to go to in the first place but you got dragged to because your fuckin single friends think they stand a chance with the host’s wife’s alcoholic slut of a cousin… and they probably do as does everybody else who thought enough to bring along their dick and a 12-pack… but do you really want to waste your time embarrassing yourself as people watch you jockeying for position on that whore and suffering the filthy consequences of success? Can we just go, please?
