I will not stand here while the Venture Bros. is bashed like this. Here here. The Venture Bros is funniest show on Adult Swim. Hey, thats fine. I respect your opinion and your choice to like bad things. I'm not a hater.

Ill say this...this is unlike when I joined the gamefaqs boards where n00bs just get "Well, your a n00b so your point doesnt count"...this is quite refreshing.

Space Ghost C2C had its moments.... (Especially "Knifin' Around" and "Flipmode"), but it really seemed to be hit or miss...
The original Adult Swim lineup was still the best of all of them, and got progressively worse as shows like Oblongs, Squidbillies, Tom Goes to the Mayor, and Assy McGee were added.... not to mention some of the excruciatingly bad anime like Pilot Candidate (Candidate for Goddess)....
So..... who misses Reign?

So..... who misses Reign? THREE THINGS: 1. TOM GOES TO THE MAYOR SUCKS!?!...your post has now been upgraded to...ILLEGAL!...now 12 Oz. Mouse is just Gawdawful and then some. Id rather be sick in bed watching nothing but looping endless Gundam monologues than that crap. 2. Oblongs goes with the regurgitated Family Guy and Futurama class since it was already on another network. Oblongs did suck though. 3. Your gonna miss your Penguins more when we roll out the Red Carpet at the Sprint Center in the great town of Kansas City... ...hey, we get excited for Arena Football, wed definatley greet them with open arms.

It seems to me like the Adult Swim guys are coasting on their own popularity, the old "We can throw any old garbage on the air and everybody will slop it right up" attitude. That's just me though.

I think they just stopped making Space Ghost... I don't think it was cancelled. There's also slightly new episodes on Gametap where he interviews video game people... haven't seen it yet, though. But yeah, I think they just went on a hiatus and didn't feel like making any more.
As for the rest of Adult Swim, I don't think it's nearly as bad as some of you make it out to be. 12 Oz Mouse, in particular, is actually a pretty damn good show if you watch them all in sequence; it's like an old detective serial, and things start to make a lot of sense when you've seen all of them.
Assy, to me, is great because, whereas Stroker and Hoop made fun of the Starsky and Hutch/Chips-type cop shows, Assy is a very obscure parody of the shows like Kojak, Columbo or even Magnum PI. The types of shows where the Chief always wants the ruthless, rule-breaking cop to turn in his badge because he's too reckless, but he always finds a way to solve a case. Of course, in Assy, he just shoots someone innocent and the cops find the real killers themselves, while Assy is inexplicably kept on the force. Even the musical performances in the bar are straight out of the 70s.
Squidbillies is another one where you just kinda have to see the real thing to enjoy it; I have friends from the south who say that other than the squid-part, Squidbillies is pretty much a carbon copy of areas west of Atlanta, right down to the trucker hats. It's much closer to Talledega Nights than it is to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour; they're definitely laughing at rednecks, not with them.

Here here. The Venture Bros is funniest show on Adult Swim. Nothing new or really relevant to add, just jumping on the Venture Bros. bandwagon. Is it wrong that Rusty himself is my favorite character? I'm coming out and admitting this right now: I HATED Venture Bros. when they first showed the pilot episode. All I saw was two dorky effeminate boys and some big dude wearing short shorts. I instantly thought it was gay bait and hated it. Then I heard it was to become a syndicated series and I hated it even more. Then I actually gave the show another try. I believe it was the Tag Sale episode that I watched. I laughed too much to not watch another episode. Must get DVDs now.
