Let’s Review Every Adult Swim Show Part 12,059: The Pick Ups

 I decided that the best idea right now was to discuss some shows Adult Swim picked up from other stations. Some of these shows were one season only, some three seasons, hell some of these shows they helped become even more popular and revive them like Family Guy and Futurama. Yes, those will get discussed but not this time. I felt it was more important to discuss some of the less popular shows. The ones I remember because I was a sad child who watched Fox enough to get to see the first two seasons of The PJs!

I have to be completely honest in the fact that I only decided to talk about the pick ups because I honestly looked at the list of shows they picked up to show and saw that there were several I was never going to get to talk about but I would really like too. The PJs is actually something I’d probably end up covering for a Final Episode. The show had three seasons, only like 44 episodes (and I think 3 that were unaired originally) The other reason was that I wanted to see if these shows still held up. Everyone on twitter goes on about how comedy ages like milk and I was curious. Still any even vaguely comedic thing that came between 1950 and 2005 was funnier than History of the World Part II. Nick Kroll won’t ever get a chance to age like milk because he’s fucking terrible to start with. Anyway enough blabbing I did re-watch one episode and honestly had a very fun time with it. I laughed out loud several times and I can’t wait to re-watch more. The PJs was a stop motion claymation cartoon created by Eddie Murphy and I think the guy from the Daily Show. I don’t know I never watched the Daily Show. American Politics is way too depressing for me even when being made fun of. Anyway this was the daily life of a Superintendant working in the Projects. All kinds of fun goofy characters in this show. I’m glad that I can tell YOUNG LITTLE CLAW OF 1999 that he’d still get a kick out of this show in 2023. He’d probably be surprised he ended up living that long.

Ah man this brings me back to the days of Teletoon. Late Night Teletoon. Teletoon was a Canadian TV channel that showed all kinds of oddball cartoons. Didn’t matter if the cartoon lasted 2 weeks or never ended (Like the Simpsons) this channel would show it. It had stuff like Duckman, Cybersix, Downtown, The Simpsons (and like only the first four seasons for some reason). Weird stuff from Canada and Japan. It lost it’s lustre but for it’s like first eight or so years man I would watch it like there was no tomorrow. The Oblongs was one of the shows they would show despite it being only around 13 episodes of a show. Adult Swim showed this show and man. I’ve got to give credit to Will Ferrell (who is without a doubt one of the most uneven comedy men to ever exist. I will seriously stand up for the Anchorman movies, Talladega Nights, Old School, Barbie and Step Brothers but everything else ranges from not good at all to at best okay. The man can be very amusing but he needs either a small role (like Old School) or a director to tell him to calm his ass down.) He’s pretty good as a voice actor for Bob Oblong. All of the voice cast is very good. The characters are all weird dis-formed people that live in a shithole called the Valley where rich people (UGH) get to live in the Hills. Anyway, I had a good time re-watching the episode. Some of the humor doesn’t land any more but some of it is still pretty good. Better than anything Nick Kroll will ever do. No I’m never going to let him or his garbage go. The man ruined Mel Brooks’ good name and the name of good comedy anywhere!!!

If there was a single show I could have kept from being cancelled it’s probably this one. I loved this show when yes I would watch episodes of it on Teletoon late night. Before they turned it into Teletoon at Night in like 2008. I remember the days of Pond Life and Captain Star BITCHES. It was a really neat channel and showed me all the weird shit you can do with animation. This was a show that like the Oblongs appeared on The WB (IN MY DAY IT WAS UPN DAMNIT) and was cancelled in a season after they spent way too much money on both shows. This was a very likable show with very likable characters created by I hope two very likable men, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein. They worked on the Simpsons from I believe Season 4 to about Season 9 so they are writers of COMEDY GOLD just there. This show follows the life of slacker Andy French who wants to become an animator. They had a ten year plan even worked out. It was a shame it only got 13 episodes but damn they were a really great 13 episodes. Very amusing show and who couldn’t want to hear Brian Poshen’s voice? or however you spell his name. I’m too lazy to look it up.

Anime. It’s something so many people out there love to an insane degree and there’s also a lot of people who hate it with a fiery passion. Me? I’m in the middle. There were many anime series I loved as a child and want to re-watch and no matter how they hold up I will always have a fondness for them. Mostly the memories of that time in my life the show reminds me of. There was a very small amount of time where I watched several series to a conclusion. That’s where I kinda get annoyed with anime. Anime series can range from 7 episodes to like 1,000. I’m sorry there’s only one show I care about enough to watch a thousand episodes of and that is the soap opera Passions. A lot of those series MUST have an insane amount of just filler. Yes I know Soap Operas are like 98% filler but shut up. It’s only one of them anyway! Still there are a lot of animes that I do enjoy and a lot of one I will watch when they finish (I’m looking at Spy X Family and My Hero Academia) and probably have 300 episodes at least. Fooly Cooly or FLCL is only 6 episodes and I really liked it in like 2004? I’m going to guess around there. I cannot believe it’s almost 20 years since then. I am very old and I need my Metamucil. I’m sadly going to have to say that this is the show that did not hold up. I enjoyed the weirdness and maybe even some of the comedy at 19 years old but right now as a grumpy almost 38 year old man? I find the weirdness to be forced by a person who is like THIS IS WEIRD MANNNN and not someone who clearly should have been in a mental hospital instead of making anime weird, which is the kind of weird I enjoy now. The comedy is also way too much and very obnoxious. I will not be re-watching any more but I will hold the memories of watching this and talking to people about it online to my chest. The memories are what is important.

Three shows that I still think is funny and one that I just feel is obnoxious and trying to hard today. All of them still better than History of the World Part II. AND YES I WILL RUN THE JOKE OF ME HATING THAT THING INTO THE GROUND WORSE THAN NICK KROLL DID.

The History of the World Part II is a giant pile of shit and I hate it.

 

I must preface this with saying that I love MELVIN KAMINSKY. also known as Mel Brooks, I believe I owe my sense of humor to him. Him and The Simpsons. I mean there’s a lot of other things but those are the two that really worked into my sense of whats funny. When I say I love him I mean it. I love every movie he made from The Producers in 1968 to Robin Hood Men in Tights in 1993. I did not like Dracula Dead and Loving It. I did not even like that as a child but still between 1968 and 1993 he made 11 comedy movies that I think are pretty swell and at least 9 of them are comedy classics. Like stuff that holds up so much. He also helped create Get Smart which was a pretty darn good 1960s sitcom if you ask me.

Anyway in 1981 he created The History of the World Part I. A very funny movie lampooning several historical events. In 2022 Hulu got him back….and also brought in Nick Kroll who just might be the least funniest human being on this planet. Jewish people had like seven trillion years of being funny as hell and Nick Kroll just comes in and ruins it. It’s very unfair of him to do that but still he just had to do it. So yeah this is why a LOT of comedy does not work for me these days and I’ll get to each reason.

1.) It tries way too hard: Something about it just tries way too hard with the simple easiest jokes (and even fails with them) oh Princess Anastasia likes a tiktok like thing. Yeah, just go with tiktok. Why bother trying to learn something about the actual person when you can just make fun of tiktok? You know that thing that will stay forever and ever. Why try to make a historical joke about Anastasia (that I probably wouldn’t even get but hey that’s that) but there’s a lot to go with. They just do a tiktok joke instead of something about the woman who pretended to be her. I guess that’s just too hard so LOL TIKTOK SHES SO VAIN LOLLLLL I SHIT MY PANTS HOH HOH

2.) It runs every single joke into the ground: Okay in this series there’s a running bit about the Civil War. The one joke it has is LOL ULYSSES S GRANT WAS A GIANT DRUNK WHO WAS DRUNK EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY HIS BLOOD WAS WHISKY HO YEAH LOL IM LAUGHIN SO HARD. Okay to be fair after a few parts they bring in a trio of loser soldiers that do something I guess. I’m going to be honest and say I didn’t see an episode. I thought I had watched it but I did not and not all the money in the world will get me to watch it. the two jokes are not well done and they run them into the ground. Another thing they run into the ground is the Shirley Chisohlm sitcom parody. They even do the hackneyed LOL YOU GOTTA BE AT TWO PLACES AT ONCE. I’ve watched a lot of situational comedy in my life and I cannot think of a time where that plot was used. I’m sure it had to be or was it just used in sitcom parody plots? I really can’t think of it right now but that whole thing has to go away right now. Forever. It is dead. Pick another supposed trope of sitcoms instead please. Sometimes one joke on a subject is enough and you don’t have to run it into the ground. They make a joke about a white guy taking Rosa Parks seat at a convention and she goes “Not doing this shit again” and leaves. You know what I would have given them credit if they didn’t fuck it in the ass and bring it back several more times.

3.) Meta Comedy: Before you come screaming BUT MEL BROOKS DID META COMEDY BEFORE IT WAS BIG! Yep, and you know what the man did it correctly. Meta Comedy, or Fourth Wall Breaking stuff DOES NOT FUCKING WORK IF ITS EVERY SECOND FUCKING JOKE. That stuff has to take you off GUARD like you don’t expect it to come. That stuff HAS to come out of nowhere. When it’s overused (which so much comedy of today does over us it) it takes away the charm of it all. It’s just not done properly and that’s sad because some of the best jokes EVER have been fourth wall breaking jokes.

4.) A lot of the jokes aren’t good to even begin with: You remember how John Lennon said the Beatles where Bigger than Jesus right? So how about you make the 12 Apostles just like the Beatles! Funny stuff right!!!!! No, that’s not even a good joke to begin with (and yes they run it in to the ground like there’s no fucking tomorrow)

5.) Nick Kroll tries way too hard: Period. He was one of the writers of this series and I don’t think he’s very good at comedy writing. He’s also not very good at comedy acting either. Some people were good at one of those. Some where good at both. Nick is bad at both. He literally tries way too hard to be the centre of attention and it just’s obnoxious. I do not like seeing him at all and I probably will not see another thing he makes because he’s not very good.

6.) A lot of it seems to play it way too safe: Mel Brooks did not play it safe. Mel Brooks made jokes about every single topic. I can understand maybe toning down on say the Gay Jokes because you don’t feel you can make a good one but well here’s a great opportunity. You know the Kama Sutra? Yeah well they make a joke about it being the Kama SOUPtra because the guy who was actually likable in the awful The Eternals wants to get people aroused and have them enjoy a nice soup! How about going hog wild with the sex stuff or something? I don’t understand how soup and sex work together but whatever.

7.) It wastes talented peoples time: I just can’t believe how many talented people got roped into this. If you were to see the list of people you’d find at least one or two of them that you liked in something else. There IS something sadder than a bad comedy. It’s seeing someone you know can be a damn hoot and a half being forced to preform bad comedy. Not cool. The guy from Spin City that I watched that show for (well him and the Mayor guy) gets a role here and he’s completely wasted too. The poor guy doesn’t even have that many roles I can think of but nope just wastes him as Peter in the Jesus stuff.

8.) Forced references to other Mel Brooks movies: They had a pretty good reference to Blazing Saddles. Then they just jammed in one from the Producers (Nick Kroll I hope will get punched in the head when he meets Gene Wilder in heaven. That’s all I will say) Then Spaceballs and then the Walk Like This joke that I’m sure was used many times. Maybe I’m just tired of seeing a reboot going HEY LOOK REMEMBER THIS THING FROM THE ORIGINAL MOVIE YEAH WE BROUGHT IT BACK!!!! so I might be just biased. Couldn’t you have made jokes based around those things instead of just using actual lines from those movies?

9.) I get wanting to make jokes about political historical things but can we at least make them just a tad not so much on the nose? Just a little bit. For me. Please?

10.) It does not feel genuine. No matter how cheesy, bad, unfunny, or just honestly mean spirited and offensive comedy of the past got it at least felt genuine to me. Like the people behind it believed in the jokes. Like they really WANTED to make this. No matter if it was Going Beserk or some random episode of The Nanny. They cared. I don’t think anyone in this series cared. They were hired by Hulu to shit out more content for the streaming services. I’m seriously thinking that Portnoyd is right when he says that we have enough content to never need any more again.

I’m gonna get a bit real with those who read this blog. I have weird anxiety issues. Like I’m afraid that I’m gonna lose my eyesight or my hearing and make it really harder to enjoy things like movies and that. I’ve been trying to pick better things to watch. Not gonna stop watching boring movies in the middle or anything but I’m going to at least try to make it so that I do not watch things that frustrate me. This frustrated me. an Incredible amount. I laughed twice at this, both times when Mel Brooks showed up. All I know is that I’m done with any reboot of any comedy thing that I like. I might try a reboot of some action movie from the 1990s or something. I’ll still watch the horror reboots (most of the best reboots were horror related) This is clearly the worst thing Mel Brooks has ever had his name on (the fact he’s like 187 years old is a big reason I believe he did not have much to do with it. That and the fact I laughed twice. Mel would have made me laugh more than that. I laughed more then that at Dracula Dead and Loving It. Yeah that also has a lot of the same flaws that I mentioned her but at least it felt genuine. Anyway please do not watch this series.

Let’s Discuss As Many Movies As Possible Part 4. The Last One Was Actually Part 3 I think. I didn’t really check. Who cares. It’s just more Movie Reviews.

 It’s been like two whole weeks since I’ve talked about any thing on this blog and my feeling is that if you don’t feel at least somewhat up to talking about something you shouldn’t do it. You gotta care at least a little about talking about something. I know my posts are full of terrible grammar and poor jokes but I know they would be even worse if I wasn’t in the mood to talk about something. Still I now have four wild ass movies to talk about.

12.) Hellraiser: Judgment (2018)

I’ve finally finished this franchise. I’m a weird person who needs to every single movie in a franchise. I don’t know why. I know most sane people pretty much gave up on this series once it went Direct to Video but not me. I watched all eleven of these movies. Most of which are very bad. This one is better than the last one but is still a pretty bad movie. It just didn’t make me angry. This movie involves cops going after a serial killer and the Cenobites doing something. You could kinda cut them out of this movie and you wouldn’t really miss much. Like change one thing and you’d have a bad movie but one I would probably never watch. The Cenobites just feel pointless and they have a bunch of new ones and I really don’t like most of the new ones. They don’t have that weird Cenobite feel to them. I did like one new character called The Auditor. Anyway the movie brings in some new characters and doesn’t really develop them. One new character shows up and ends up sending Pinhead to become human? I don’t know. It happens so fast because they clearly wanted to end this movie. It’s done so quickly and terribly. The other plot involves a bunch of Cops looking for a serial killer who does religious shit. I forget the killers name and I don’t care enough. This stuff is actually kind of interesting until they just JAM in the fact the main cop is actually the KILLER! I mean doesn’t that come off as a hackneyed idea in 2018? I can’t even think of many movies where that was done but I’m sure it happened. It also happened better than here because it just pops in at the end like the writer was like OH MY GOD THATS THE BEST IDEA EVER and didn’t fix any of the earlier stuff. Still I actually liked the actors in this movie and they did try their hardest. I would probably put this around the middle of the series even though it’s still a pretty lazy movie. I would comment on how people just calling the newest movie from last year JUST ANOTHER HELLRAISER to watch this one. At least that one felt like it was a damn Hellraiser movie!

14.) The Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)

Holy shit. This movie was fucking hilarious. I know it’s supposed to be horror but I could not stop laughing. The kid in this movie just plays it so meanly that I couldn’t stop laughing. The weird music cues. Just the goofy shit people did in the film. The acting (except for Michael Lerner) is over the top and really bad. But in a beautiful way. Actually the kid does a pretty good job. Anyway this movie is the fourth movie in the Omen franchise and was made for television in 1991. Probably for NBC. or Maybe CBS. This clearly wasn’t an ABC Made for TV movie! (That’s a joke people. I don’t know or care what channel made this.) It is legit bonkers from start to finish. A woman starts thinking her daughter is something more. And she finds out that she’s the ANTICHRIST! Her real father was Damien from the previous films! This movie also ends on a downer note! I love when horror does that sometimes! Anyway I recommend this movie to everyone. It is a must see.

15.) Mission Kill

Action International Pictures was created by David Winters sometime in the 1980s. I didn’t have to tell you that because this is literally the most 80s 80s action film you could watch. Robert Ginty plays a man who was bringing guns over the border into a civil war to help the renegades. His friend played by Cameron “Fine I’ll Show Up In Your Damn Movie For 15 Minutes” Mitchell is killed and he desires revenge! He teams up with the renegades and BLOWS SHIT UP. Man this movie was a lot of fun. Yes the plot has been used about 12,986,520 times in movies. I don’t even think there are that many movies ever but somehow the plot has been done THAT much. What makes this movie is the actors. All of them are clearly having a great time. Robert Ginty is an underrated action hero. Cameron Mitchell might have been a hard guy to get along with but he does well with this role and you feel bad when he dies even though he was one in the movie for fifteen minutes. The guys who play the bad guys are so much fun to watch. There’s also the guy who was friends with Jerry Seinfeld’s dad in Seinfeld. You know the weird looking guy whos pen someone in the cast got obsessed with. I think it was Jerry. Anyway it was great fun.

16.) The Chill Factor

I think this was one of the last movies Action International Pictures had something to do with before David Winters fired David A Prior and started making movies even I don’t care about. It’s hard for me not to be somewhat interested in at least one movie you made afterwards. Actually I lied there is one movie he made that I want to see called Can’t Stop Dancing. I want to see it because thats like the worst title for a movie ever. Anyway this movie involves people driving around on skidoos and one of them gets hurt. They decide to stay at a cabin that was once ran as a summer camp or something! Something involving Satanists also happens! They didn’t really clear up the plot here very well! Despite that I did enjoy this because I enjoyed the characters. Yeah they should have been more clear with the plot (even with damn narration clearly added in) and it totally takes a while to get going but it’s home grown independent charms got me and I enjoyed watching it. It won’t rock your world but if you enjoy cheap and cheesy 90s horror movies you might have a good time with this one.

Another four movies. Three of them being enjoyable watches in my estimation. I really don’t know what I should say to end this all. So I’ll just leave. Bye!

Let’s Watch Every Movie Ever Made Even Though It’s Not Possible Really Part 4. I think. Maybe Part 5. I dunno.

 Yep. We are back after almost a week of no discussion with TWO new blog posts! Wild huh! Anyway I watched four movies I had never seen before and you know the drill, It’s time to talk about those four movies. So let’s get to it before we all get gray hair and wrinkles! And I mean face wrinkles not those dog toys from the 1980s that were like Pound Puppies. Yes This is the worst opening paragraph to anything you will ever read. I am proud I was able to do that.

9.) Project A (1983)

Whenever you are unsure of what to watch, Jackie Chan is always a good bet. I’m almost through his filmography and this isn’t even the only movie he’s been a part of on this list. Anyway this movie’s plot is very uh all over the place. He starts out a sailor, than has to be a police man, then quits being a police man, then messes up stuff involving the police, then fights gangsters, then becomes a sailor again and fights pirates. It’s all over the place. It’s actually quite funny because no matter what the plot of the other stories were they were kept simple. Although talking about a plot of a Jackie Chan movie is quite stupid because you aren’t there for a plot you’re there to watch Jack Chan whip ass like there was no other and he whips an INCREDIBLE amount of ass in this film. It’s pretty amazing to watch. Sammo Hung is also really good comedic relief who can also kick ass when needed. I might have to check out more of HIS movies now. Who could say no to a movie entitled Enter the Fat Dragon?!?

10.) Deadlier Than the Male (1967)

Now this was an absolute hoot and a half of a movie. It’s like James Bond but starring detective Bulldog Drummond from another different series of books. This one has him fighting a guy who has a ton of beautiful sexy sixities babes running around killing big name people like oil tycoons and stuff. Why? So the bad guy can make money! I must say that I was surprised by this movie. It’s a lean, mean but not green (that’s the next movie!) spy thriller. It never gets too bogged down with being to serious or plot heavy. Just a good ol’ time at the movie theatre. Richard Johnson is incredibly entertaining as Hugh “Bulldog” Drummond and he was even gonna be James Bond before Sean Connery showed up! I wish they had made more of these movies. Everyone works incredibly well in this movie and it’s a very amusing action packed affair!

11.) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)

This is the second of the Jackie Chan movies. Yep, Jackie Chan is the new Splinter and he’s kinda actually great as him. Even if he still isn’t great with English despite making movies in Hollywood since like I dunno the 1980s? Doesn’t matter because he’s a lot of fun. In fact this entire movie is a lot of fun. I love the animation style (which was from the same company and team of people that did The Mitchells Vs. the Machines which was a really great movie too). I actually really enjoyed the fact that the characters were played by actual Teens this time. I enjoyed seeing so many mutants from the original show. This is probably the best TMNT movie since the original film in 1990. Maybe since TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. Totally better than the Michael Bay sequel that had that shithead as Casey Jones. Oh god he was so fucking bad. Anyway the only real problem I had with this movie is that it has a lot of references to new popular things that will probably date this movie in ten or so years but hey It’s still a lot of fun in the here and now.

12.) Some Girls Do

Yep. I liked Deadlier than The Male so much I decided to watch the sequel a few days later! Anyway this movie was not as good as the first but still definetly worth a looksee if you enjoy this kinda movie. The problems I had was well, they changed actors for the bad guy character. The guy in the first movie was SO much better. Elke Sommer and her henchlady were also way more fun to watch too. Also the comic relief character was pretty annoying where as the comic relief character in the first movie was pretty good. Still this movie has fembots and Richard Johnson just being a cool badass mother fucker. Why do we call people who are cool and bad ass mother fuckers? You shouldn’t fuck your mother and you shouldn’t be fucking mothers. It’s weird. Stop it. Uh, where was I? Oh yeah, this movie was still a lot of fun but they didn’t quite capture the charm of the original movie. Still I would have watched another movie in this series but I guess that wasn’t to be.

Join me next time as I watch something that will make me puke blood and then yell about it on here. I gotta pick at least one movie to be shitty too because man It’s hard to write positive funny reviews and this is where you say “wait this stuff was supposed to be funny?” and we all laugh until there’s a freeze frame.

Let’s Never Stop Talking About Adult Swim Because They Made 12,000 Television Shows Part Whatever of 7,000: More New Shows.

 Well you know the deal. It’s time to talk about another four shows from Adult Swim. The channel within a channel that made way more shows than I thought. I really did not expect to be talking about this stuff for as long as I am going to be. It’s not too bad to be honest. Except for Tim and Eric the shows are either very good. The worst shows are nothing compared to stuff like Mama’s Family or Charles in Charge. Well I’d watch Mama’s Family and Charles in Charge over Tim and Eric but that’s not saying much really. Anyway let’s get into another four series!

1.) Rick and Morty

Yes. You know I had to get to this one. And I finally did. I must admit that sometime after the first season or two aired I watched a few episodes and actually enjoyed them. They were creative and amusing and very entertaining. Then the fans came out. I think this might be the only thing ever ruined for me by how absolutely stupid and terrible the fanbase is. Remember the McDonalds thing? That was some really fucking terrible shit. The only fanbase worse than this is probably the people who like Steven Universe. Anyway I watched a new episode and holy shit this show literally decided to crawl up its own asshole with smugness. I don’t even know what that means but this show clearly now thinks its the most intelligent and amazing thing ever put to television. I did not laugh once during that episode. Season six I believe. Anyway I was not into that episode and I will be forgetting about Rick and Morty.

2.) Birdgirl

I can’t believe I have to post this but it’s the world we live in. I’m all for just about any kind of human being getting a tv show. men, women, the lgbt community, black people, whatever. Different voices are a good thing. However I’m not going to be like “wow you created great content!” when you didn’t. Doesn’t matter who you are. Birdgirl is bad content. I was very annoyed watching this show. Tim and Eric annoyed. So you know I am not a fan and do not want to see any more of this really bad spinoff to one of the best adult swim shows. Also what’s up with the not having anything Hanna-Barbera in the show. I know port’s going to be like LOL YEAH THATS AN IMPROVEMENT but a lot of the fun of the original show was seeing them parody those characters and put them in weird plot lines. I dunno. It feels weird not to have them show up and do things but what do I know. I just know this show sucks ass.

3.) YOLO: Crystal Fantasy

Made by the same guy who did Smiling Friends this show was a lot more uh weird and unpleasant. I did not enjoy the one episode I watched. It had a woman named Rachel getting lost in a weird fantasy world after sitting down to piss near a crystal tree and her friend Sarah wondering where she went. Anyway you see both Sarah living her life for nine years while Rachel parties. It’s not very good. This show is all about weird shit but the punchline is LOL ITS WEIRD and not a punchline about the weird shit. I was annoyed and bored by this program. Not gonna be watching any more.

4.) Primal

I was not too fond of the previous three shows but damn this is one hell of a show to end out on. A caveman (who looks like if someone at Hanna Barbera had to draw a Jack Kirby character so I love him already) and a T-Rex become friends and have adventures across the land. The catch is that this series is done pretty seriously AND without any dialogue. I was not sure if they could pull it off but I sure as hell want to watch the rest of this series now. It’s two seasons of I believe 10 episodes each. Done by Genndy Tartakovsky who’s birth name Gennady Borisovich Tartakovsky is literally the most Russian name in the history of the world. I shouldn’t have worried because he’s the guy who created Dexter’s Lab and that was a great cartoon series. I also must say that the animation in this series is an absolute joy to look at and I have to say this is probably the best new program adult swim has had. Very highly recommended even though I’ve only seen one episode.

So, four shows. Two of them bad, one of them used to be pretty good until fans and the writers decided to be dildos and the final one of them being very promising. I will be back next time talking about some of the shows adult swim picked up because why not. 

The Comic Review #94: Web of Spider-Man #113-116

  The post on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers got me to thinking about the early comic reviews on this site. Most of them were a paragraph...
