I don't watch Adult Swim because I don't have cable or satellite, but thanks to my neighbours I've seen Harvey Birdman. I watched the entire first season all at once, laughed myself silly, and had that blasted theme song stuck in my head for a good week and a half afterwards. :D

I have... I think it's season 3 or 4 of aqua teen on DVD and the dude does meatwad's voice, so it's not like, digitally enhanced or nothin.

But yes, adult swim, best thing on TV now-a-days fo sho. Aqua Teen is my personal favorite. I also gotta give props to Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Futurama, Sealab, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop.

I've been finding Samurai Champloo kind of hard to get into for some reason, but my buddy gave me some of the music from the show -beats and such they use. it's great s**t to just chill and listen to.

I wish Adult Swim would cut back on the anime. Neon Genesis Evangelion has like, the worst dub ever. Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Asuka has to say something in German every five minutes? "Mein Gott! Is that what I've been piloting? Shinji's so dumb, eine kleine Dummkopf!" We get it, she's German. Shut up already!

In the original version, she only speaks German like, three times in the whole series. It's an insult to the American audience's intelligence that they need to continually remind us of the character's nationality. Yeah, I know, I'm bothered by the weirdest things. Oh well.

Not really much on Adult Swim; love Aqua Teen Hunger Force, though.

By the way, did anyone else hear that AS will start airing reruns of Pee-wee's Playhouse in July? I'm pretty surprised by this move, especially considering the Saved by the Bell thing they did.

You probably would. I can't think of any one animated show that tries to offend people as much as Family guy does :lol: If anyone knows of such a show, please tell me so I can go watch it.

I love the Boondocks. I don't have cable or satellite right now so I'm just sh** out of luck for the time being.

Robot Chicken is hilarious too.

SkaFather is right about it being for both people with AS and pot smokers. :wink:

You're forgetting their new show. Pee Wee is back! Adult Swim is great for giving new life to old, dead shows(Family Guy and Futurama being good examples). Maybe this means another season of Pee Wee is coming. As for the rest of Adult Swim, I like the shows they bring in, plus Moral Orel and the occasional Boondocks episode. I dislike things like Minoriteam and strange shows like that.

Pee-Wee's playhouse and Saved by the Bell do not count because they are not animated

And I am hoping that Tom Goes to the Mayor will eventually go to DVD. As a municipal government employee (I am a GIS/mapping technician), I find it funny.

Perfect for me, I qualify for both. AS = both Asperger's and Adult Swim. Also, gotta give my props to Metalocalypse- true brutality.

I get the midnight run on Bravo. Seeing how I'm from the UK.

When I'm bored, I watch:

The Brak Show
Robot Chicken
The Venture Bros.
Sealab 2021.

I reckon Adult Swim is a channel for aspies. :)

It's sheer random and plain humor. 8)

Robot Chicken and Assy McGee are my favorites at the moment.
