Well do you?

I for one am a staunch fan of ATHF, SeaLab, Family Guy and Futurama.

Adult Swim isn't a cartoon. It's a programming block on Cartoon Network that includes all those cartoons (and many more.) Basically, it's a late night, not for kiddies, cartoon extravaganza.

Well done. It's nice to see that we are among the elite few who understand the value of adult cartoon entertainment.

I do! I used to watch InuYasha right after Gundam SEED on the Sat. night block. Did you see the episode where Kagome blurts out in her sleep "I hate geometry" ? I was laughing so hard 'cause I was in geometry the past yr, and it was hard as hell!

I stopped watching InuYasha tho 'cause they moved it to when SNL is on

I dont watch a lot of the Anime, I prefer the comedy stuff but I've watched a few episodes of Inuyasha.

SNL has been sucking big time these past few seasons so I don't make it a priority like I used to.

I like the Family Guy, but I think everything else on that channel is really stupid. The only other one that is halfway decent is Futurama.

Ahhh Family Guy is my least favourite :-/.

I mean it is pretty intelligent and all, and I enjoy it when I see it, but I'll do something rather than watch it normally....

I do like Inu Yasha. I don't know why... I honestly think it's kind of stupid. There is something about the ongoing soap opera quality that drags me in. I also HATE Inu Yasha's character.... the other characters are not well drawn out either. The villians (Kikyo, Sesshoumaru) I like, and I do like Kagome.

I really like Cowboy Bebop a lot--that is my favourite. I like TriGun, and I like the new one by Bebop--the one with the Wolves? I make it a point to catch that.

I really liked Android Kikaider and the cool noir feel until the end.... I don't like the last 3 or so episodes. Some elements, but not someo f the others... (I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say, all those blasted androids)

I like Lupin! that is fun.

I've been watching Adult Swim since it was just Thursday and Sunday, and one of those days was repeats. Sweet sweet butter. My new favorite (since ATHF and Sealab 2021 are now legend and are untouchable in esteem) is The Venture Bros.

"We've been playing our game of cat and also cat for quite some time now!"

"When I met the Monarch I was doin' Crack cocaine and gettin' in trouble and stuff and the Monarch took me in and cleaned me up and straightened out my life." "How'd you end up with the Monarch?" "You guys kidnapped me when I was fifteen!"

"In Underland, military service is required from ages 18-37, at 38 we are exicuted."

"You coulda told me Sasquatch was....uh....a dude." "What, you couldn't tell?" "Not until I had to....u..u..u..uh....shave him." "Oh come on, Sasquatch doesn't have anything you haven't seen before." "Sasquatch IS something I haven't seen before."

Aqua teen hunger force is the funniest cartoon I have ever seen, and that's saying something compared to family guy. I still need to buy season two on dvd.

"Who's droppin the fartin' F-Bombs? I gotta start that. Fart you, mother farter!" -Meatwad.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the best! Then Family Guy. Then Futurama. Then... uhmmm... I don't know!

Family Guy is excellent, Futurama is pretty good, everything else is terrible.

I'm not a big fan of Adult Swim, after Family Guy goes off it's over, maybe with the exception of Futurama....

Adult Swim rules.

ATHF is the best show on that station.
Family Guy and Futurama are also great, but Ive seen just about every episode, so they get a little repetetive.

Sealab 2021 is also great.

The following shows suck:

Inuyasha.
Trigun.
Cowboy Bebop.
Reign the conquerer.
any other anime on that channel.
Most Brak shows.
Mission Hill.
Baby Blues.

How Could You Say Cowboy Bebop, Inuyasha And Trigun Suck. They Are The Best Shows On That Network!

No..they all suck.

Inuyasha is annoying, what the hell is that half squirrel-girl thing?

Trigun.....Pfft! How can you be cool when your name is "Vash the stampede" and even though you carry a huge gun, YOU NEVER SHOOT ANYONE?

Cowboy Bebop.....gay.

That gender-bending ultra annoying "Ed" creature ruins that whole show.

My thoughts exactly.

But ATHF and Sealab? C'mon that's for ADD kids.

Family Guy is by far the best show on Adult Swim.

I only like Family Guy and Futurama on Adult Swim. I've seen the other shows at my friend's house and they suck big time. And Im not an anime fan.

Adult swim is the reason I watch television on Saturday. They need more serious anime, though. The stuff they have is good, yes, but InuYasha is a bit too childish for my tastes. Stuff like Cowboy Bebop.

Anybody remember when they used to play anime movies? That was some good stuff...and good times...

ATHF and SeaLab both involve stoner humor, but I love it still!

-"Actions!?"


"You and your third dimension"
-"What about it?"
-"it's cute. We have 5."
-"THOUSAND!"
-"Yes 5000! Don't question it!!"

Cowboy Bebop is my favorite, followed up by Futurama (because I haven't seen all of them), and then Family Guy.

As for home-grown, you can't beat ATHF and Sealab2021, those both rock.

Because it's adult humor. I doubt many 8 year olds will get much of the humor.

I watch Family Guy, Futurama, Sealab, Aqua Teen, the Brak Show, and Harvey Birdman...when I get the chance. Anime doesn't excite me, but things like Sealab are cool, even if a lot of people don't understand it...

I watch adult swim for the reason of anime...I like FLCL, Inu Yasha, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun. But I like some of the other ones like Futurama and Family Guy, they're both hilarious!

Adult Swim is the only reason the TV gets turned on..besides for dvd's!

I have been watching since the beginning ('01)...great great laughs...I can remember laughing so hard, especially at Sealab 2021, I was doubled over in pain. They are all great (don't watch Cowboy Bebop, Trigun or InuYasha as much as the rest but that's cool...differnt strokes for different folks).

I'm just glad more people (finally got a clue and) are watching it now...

And as Cpt. Murphy would say it feels so good it is like a Koala Bear crapped a rainbow in my head!!! ~ tee hee

No, .Hack//Dusk is much worse. I hate the terrible characterization, how some characters say nothing but "Cool! A rare item!" or "I'll provide any needed healing." I also don't like Vandread very much, mainly because of its CGI.
