Well tonight Adult Swim showed "Pee Wee Playhouse". I watched it and I thought, why the hell did we watch this as kids? I mean jeez, there's very little plot, and a bunch of screaming. I swear the writers for this show must've been high and somehow was able to take random events and string them into a half hour show. Of course kids show have always been dumb, just look at the Teletubbies. In 20 years or so the watchers of that program will be wondering the same thing I am.
On the plus side, Season two of "The Venture Bros" is awesome! It's much more darker, and more realistic, so I give it two thumbs up.

they should count their losses and stop while it's not too late
PeeWee was bizarre from the first time I saw him as hamburger man in that Cheech and Chong movie.
Robot Chicken rocks however.
I wasn't allowed to watch that show as a kid... to this day I don't have a clue why it was banned from the house. The guy in the show creeps me out a bit, though.
I like Adult Swim. Moral Orel is hillarious. Where the hell has Harvey Birdman been?

It's a good show. They put too much crap on adult swim, so its refreshing that they brought back a good show.

There just doing it as a joke probably, like with Saved By the Bell. But that makes me mad that they took off Mission Hill. I know it only had 13 episodes and would have been taken off anyways since it was only there to hold in the 11:00 timeslot, but still I liked that show. Shame on Adult Swim, and shame on The WB for cancelling it in the first place.

I never did like Pee Wee Playhouse. I am convinced that if there is such a thing as the Anti-Christ, it is now being aired on Adult Swim...
And Venture Brothers is awesome. I love the Monarch.

I hope the Pee-Wee's Playhouse debacle is just a stunt like Saved by the Bell was.
Best Venture Bros. moment:
MONARCH: Finally, one of my henchmen confessed to the crime.
Cut to a shot of the Monarch's door opening with a slack-faced henchman standing lifelessly in the doorway. Camera cuts to back side of henchman where a note reading "I did it" is pinned to his back with a large knife. Henchman collapses.
I can still make myself gut-laugh my remembering that scene. Brilliant.

The Monarch gets great lines-
"Locked in a game of cat and also cat..."
"Fine, fine. But you have to understand you can't waltz into the middle of a delicate, high-stakes chess tournament and yell, "King me!" 'cause he bitched up your face. "
"But see, that's what I'm talking about. Now Venture'll send Samson after the rest of us, and he'll go sickhouse on our asses. I LIKE my ass, gentlemen. "
"Hey, guess what? Nobody cares who would win in a crazy fantasy fist-fight between Anne Frank and Lizzie Borden. We never should have brought the henchmen. We're going to be the only ones there with henchmen! "
"Please. How stupid do I look to you? World Domination. I'll leave that to the religious nuts or the Republicans, thank you. "
The new season of Venture Bros. has been awesome so far. Dr. Orpheus is probably my favourite character.
My favourite part of the second season premiere:
Dr. Orpheus: I'm a necromancer! Do you know what that means?
Brock: You have sex with dead people?
Dr. Orpheus: 'phile! Necrophile!

They are going to air some 45 episodes I think, not just two or three.

Orpheus also cool. Just about everything he says is funny as hell.

I havn't watched this show in over 10 years and the first thing I said to my friend while we were talking and watching it was "man this show is cokey."

aww shoot I forgot about and missed pee-wee
I just saw a funny cartoon called Minori-Team or something like that. I also finally got to see Aqua Teen Hunger Force - both were connected I think. They were alright but it kind of hurts my brain.

I think they are airing the full first season - until the fall season starts with new episodes of classic shows.

Eh, if the creators of Minority Team really want to do the comic style right, they should look at the Max Payne style.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is one of those shows that makes absolutely no sense yet still works. Unlike Robot Chicken which has really gone downhill...

According to the cards, it was an idea from Andy Kaufman. If the bumps are to be believed.

You missed one:
"I'm going to use his toilet and I'm not going to flush! Let them see the wrath of the Monarch!!!"

I haven't seen robot chicken yet.
I mainly use cartoon network for the Ghost In The Shell series, Family Guy, Futurama and assorted laughs when something better isn't on Comedy Central, Discovery, Animal Planet or The History Channel (sometimes NASA and The Food Network). Shit I watch too much tv.

I have not watched, nor will I ever watch this show called Pee-Wee's Playhouse or whatever it is.
