    Anyone fans of Adult Swim? For the uninformed it's on Sunday's at 10:00pm. Personal favorite's are Home Videos, Sealab 2020, and the ever popular Space Ghost: Coast to Coast...

    Dry humor... funny as hell and a great way to wind down the weekend.

    bunch of badly animated cartoons that claim to be adult yet I don't see whats so adult about them. I'd rather watch He-man and Transformers.

    Hrm. Apparently irony and sarcasm seem to be above you.

    Sealab 2021 is brialliant - especially the "making of" episode. I got the biggest kick of of Estrada riding his CHiPs fame.

    Harvey Birdman is really clever too. And The Brak Show is laugh-out-loud funny.

    Cowboy Bebop is certainly "adult". Lots of violence, sexual suggestiveness, not to mention - oh, I don't know - plot.

    I probably enjoy Sealab more than anything else but there is seldom any new episodes... I have no idea why especially because they are only 15min long or so.

    Do you watch Cowboy Bebop? I can honestly say I've never sat through a whole episode... I guess I'm too much of a stoner... :)

    I loved that ep where he defended Fred Flintsone, that was hilarious.

    One of the BEST shows ever made imho, I absolutely love Cowboy Bebop.

    Well, Hollywood cast John Wayne as Genghis Kahn so I guess anyone can do anything.

    You've never seen the show, have you...

    And quite a bit, BTW. Ever seen The Seven Samurai?

    Being a cowboy means riding a horse and wearing a 10-gallon hat only in the most literal sense.

    I love Adult Swim.

    I remember before it exsited though, when Beck was the guest on Space Ghost Coast to Coast. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.

    How long ago was that? I've only been watching Adult Swim for about a year now, but I've seen some reruns including the Beck episode. Do you know how long Adult Swim has been on the air?

    Adult Swim as a programming concept has been around since the fall of 2001. Originally it was three hours long (10 pm-1 am) on Sunday nights only, with the last hour being Cowboy Bebop. It has slowly increased, and is in fact moving to five or six nights a week in January (I forget which nights).

    Space Ghost started in the early 90s. For my money, it's been one of the most consistently funny shows on television since, and really was the impetus behind Adult Swim - its success led to Williams St. doing all the shows it does for Adult Swim now, including Brak and Sealab.

    I'm not too familiar with the shows but I tend to catch it when it's on and I must say that I crack up everytime, and I'm usually preoccupied talking to people online when I'm watching it.

    Some of the best laughs I've had from TV lately have been caused by Sealab.

    "Mercury... Sweetest of the transitional metals."

    "See you later old chum... Chum."

    Ha ha ha ha ha!

    Space Ghost Coast to Coast music is really good too.

    Man Or Astroman.

    I wish the Cartoon Network would release all the SG: C to C episodes on DVD.

    Anyone seen the original Space Ghost cartoons that they borrow from? They're horrible, tacky, and not very funny. Of course, sometimes the remixes are better... in this case they're genius.

    I agree, you must have never seen an episode of Cowboy Bebop. Makes alot more sense if you've watched. I also believe it to be one of the best shows I have ever come across. Had no idea it existed before I saw it on Adult Swim, but now I'm addicted, oh well.

    You have to be the craziest one in there; did you see how I overreacted?

    One of the funniest episodes of Sealab 2021 was on tonight. "Stimutacs." If you haven't seen it you should find it on your file sharing network of choice ASAP. Pure genius.

    "It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain!"

    My other favorites are Der Dieb aka Martian Law and Swimming in Oblivion, the one where they go behind the scenes of Sea Lab.

    I also love both Hunger Force Aqua Teen episodes with the Mooninites and the one with Ol' Drippy. Damn funny stuff.

    There are a lot of great Space Ghost episodes but Knifin' Around, the one with Thom Yorke and Bjork stands above the rest.
