I'm not even going to post a poll, because I know I would miss someone's favorite. You can post up your favorite overall, or your favorite funny show and favorite anime; or do a top 5.... It's really up to you!

http://www.adultswim.com/shows/index.html

Right now, The Venture Brothers.

Overall, Cowboy Bebop.

OMGosh!!!!! A thread with actual meaning!!!! I am a total adult swim freak, and cannot begin to even try to pick a favorite show. All I can say is that I cannot believe they cancelled The Oblongs, that show was hilarious. I just recently bought the Home Movies Season One DVD, but I can't say that that show is my fave, but it's one of them. Oh, another cool show that I never see anymore is FC, but I haven't watched Sunday night recently. Of course I like all of the classics, Family Guy, Futurama, but sincerely I love them all. :fluffle:

Iy's aaaaaalllllll about The Venture Brothers....though I haven't seen Robot Chicken yet........

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is the best anime I've seen. I've been watching Full Metal Alchemist, though, because I've heard it's very good.

Cowboy Bebop is bad ass and GitS: Stand Alone Complex is good too

Bein a comecy fan definitly Mission Hill, Venture Bros, Family Guy and ATHF the best shows on TV

Cowboy Bebop and (until they pulled it) Trigun . . . I'd really want ot see a Gundam series on AS, tho

I used to be into Anime but I really grew out of it and now the only reason I watch Adult Swin anymore is for Family Guy and ATHF.

Family Guy
Sealab 2021
Venture Brothers
Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Cowboy Bebop and (until they pulled it) Trigun . . . I'd really want ot see a Gundam series on AS, tho
waste of a time slot

I could quote ATHF until my lungs stopped.

Sealab 2021
Venture Brothers
ATHF
Home Movies
Family Guy

I'd have to say Full Metal Alchemist currently.

First person that says Super Milk Chan is getting my fist shoved up their ass. In a NON-homosexual manner.

The comedy in Super Milk Chan is somehow purely Japanese, I don't get it, and I (an avid fan of comedy, and dare I say, a person with a great, sometimes cruel, sense of humor) understand the comedy on every other comedic show in the line up. In terms of the best character. Who, or which character is the best character in all the shows. I have my top 3.

1. Peter Griffin
2. Carl from ATHF
3. Meatwad

Indeed both favorites of mine.
I live Family guy and when it was on Adult Swim Outlaw Star.

Anime is overrated. I grew out of that stage a couple of years ago. Comedy, however, never gets old. I've watched family Guy ever since it came out on Fox, and was pissed as hell when they took it off. I was ecstatic when they put it on Adult Swim. It's easily the best show on Adult Swim. Futurama ain't bad, either.

"I don't see you with a fungineering degree!"

Anime is as much of a stage as pop music is. It's a very broad category. However, a very narrow subset of that category is actually played on Adult Swim.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Tom Goes To The Mayor. It's incredibly original(and hilarious to boot). Plus, they had Tenacious D in the first episode.

I know that. There's no point in Anime for me anymore. I hated trigun. Completely retarded. When I did like anime, I only liked a few. Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Gundam Wing were really the only ones that could hold my attention.

I could quote ATHF until my lungs stopped.
"I am. Sofa King. We. Todd. Ed."
AWESOME.
Mine:
1) Sealab 2021
2) The Family Guy
3) ATHF
4) The Brak Show
5) Futurama.

You're right it is a good show, but they really haven't had enough episodes to judge it yet.

The bumps, hands down.

Venture Brothers or Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Best cartoons ever, IMO.

YES! YES!
Adult swim rocks!
Futurama and Family Guy and

AQUA TEEN!!!!!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is the best anime I've seen. I've been watching Full Metal Alchemist, though, because I've heard it's very good.

Ghost in the Shell is visually stunning and has an awesome storyline! I LOVE the show! I have yet to see Full Metal Alchemist, but I shall soon. I also like Witch Hunter Robin.

Of course, Family Guy is a very funny show and Home Movies is some good stuff. I wish they had more episodes of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast; I think that show was classic.

ATHF, duh.

Shoot. You beat me to it. I was just going to mention Space Ghost. Now those are pure genius. By the way, I hear that the entirety of the second Ghost in the Shell series has the same intensity as the end of "Stand Alone Complex". It should definitely be worth checking out. I got to see "Innocence" in the theaters. I liked it a lot better than the first movie.

Anyway, I feel like I should leave you all with this, as I've now wasted too much of your time.

SG: Were you sitting in my chair?
M: I was?
SG: No, I'm asking you if you were sitting in my chair.
M: Oh, O.K.
SG: Well, were you?
M: In your chair, right?
SG: Right.
M: That's what I thought.
...
Z: Tick, you say?
SG: That's right, Zorak. Tick.
Z: Like a time bomb tick?
SG: No, like my Mickey Mouse watch tick. A nice tick.
Z: Time bombs are nice. Tick tick tick BOOM! Tick tick tick BOOM!
M: You know, Spaceghost, there's also an insect called a tick. It's very small, but it causes a grave illness.
SG: *thinks:* Illness is bad

AMEN!

Sadly, I don't get Adult Swim but the shows usually end up on a few channels where I live in Canada.

Overall, I'd go with Cowboy Bebop
I really liked Read or Die as well.
And for humor - Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Sealab 2021

I haven't seen the newer shows because several months ago my mom decided she hated TV and discontinued our cable service. *sigh* I miss [adultswim]

ATHF, of course.
Super Milk Chan sucks.

Aqua Teen all the way

Family Guy!!!!!!

oh there's just not enough Sealab on this thread. Not enough. Not enough at all.

Full Metal Alchemist. The dubbing is actually pretty good. I've watched the Japanese version, but only some of it, and soon the Adult Swim one will move onto episodes I haven't seen before. I don't get to watch a lot of anime, so I have to take what I can.
I really like Venture Brothers and Stand Alone Complex too though. I also saw a couple of good Sealab episodes.

Reminds me of a hosting spot from Cartoon Planet

Zorak
*Blink*Blink*

Space Ghost
Hey!

Zorak
What? *blink*

Space Ghost
How do you do that?

Zorak
Do what? *blink*blink*

Space Ghost
Make that noise when you blink. I want to make that noise.

Zorak
Oh. Well, first you have to be funky fresh.

Space Ghost
I'm funky fresh!

Zorak
Next, you have to have eyelids.

Space Ghost
Oh.

Am I the only one that likes Inuyasha and Wolf's Rain........?

Oh well...

Am I the only one that likes Inuyasha and Wolf's Rain........?

Oh well...
Alright, I don't have the patience to sit through enough of that show to confirm this or not, but on Wolf's Rain-

Are they always wolves and only look human for thier interactions? Purely representational, not meant to mean that they can transform into wolves and humans, just to anthropormophize their interactions?

If that's the case, that show got a lot cooler.

Yeah, Futurama and FLCL are and were awesome, respectively. However, I have to stand by those who say Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.

"Shut up, Blip! Or I'll slam your head so far down between your shoulder blades you'll have to open that vest to face your own anguish as I hold a mirror up to your midsection! Yeah!"

Or

"Everybody knows Green Bay is NOT in December. You obviously don't shampoo."

And everybody would do well to remember, Aqua Teen Hunger Force wouldn't exist, had they not first appeared on SGC2C.

Wolf's Rain's ending sucked. Everyone died, then it started over. It's a never-ending cycle of misery and symbolism.

"Everybody knows Green Bay is NOT in December. You obviously don't shampoo."
Where's your shirt? Did you even remember to wear one? I know you. I used to be you.

...

Those brains are out there, with their plastic eyeballs and blue hair.... Blue as THE NIGHT!

"The bun is in your mind!"

I'm surprised (and kind of shocked) that no has mentioned Big O yet! This is one of my favorite anime shows on AS. Any show that combines Batman with Gundam has got to be impressive. Sure it gets confusing if you miss an episode or two, but overall it rocks!

But I also like Inuyasha, Futurama, ATHF, Harvey Birdman, Sealab, and FullMetal. Milk Chan SUCKS!!!!!

Now if they can only get some more interesting anime shows that haven't been seen elsewhere... (I'm looking at YOU, G4TechTV and AnimeNetwork!!!!)

Inuyasha

What's everyone's opinion on Robot Chicken?

Robot Chicken! Its so fucking hilarious. Its about 10 minutes of lmgdsobmfao!

Futurama, naturally.

Venture Bros. and Aqua Teen also rock the beat.

Well, I'm not going to consider Futurama or Family Guy as they aren't original programming to the Cartoon Network. Anyway...

1. Venture Brothers
2. ATHF
3. Sealab 2021

I can't stand Tom Goes To The Mayor or Super Milk Chan.

Robot Chicken was pretty good, but I have a feeling it could get real old real quick.

Right now, The Venture Brothers.

Overall, Cowboy Bebop.

My thoughts exactly.

Big O. Any show that combines Batman with Gundam has got to be impressive
Being a diehard 'real robot' mecha fan, I'd take Gundam over Big O any day, no offense. IMHO, big o-style mecha is a bit too super robot-esque.

Oh and I finally saw Ghost in the Shell. Most excellent, the show is. :)

I find the English dubbing a bit painful. But it is excellent (check out the DVDs; the subtitles are much better than the dubs).

I'm a Gundam junkie too.

But I'd have to say my favorite is Fullmetal Alchemist. Good combo. of humor, seriousness, and blood.

I also like the flash cards.
