Favorite Adult Swim Show?
It's a tie for me. Sealab and Harvey Birdman. They're both great in their own ways. I like AQHF, but it doesn't make me laugh nearly as much as SL and HB.

4. The Venture Brothers.
If you'd have asked me that question a couple of years ago, I would have had to say either Sealab or Harvey Birdman. Both have since jumped the shark (and Sealab was eaten by it I think). AQHF was always hit or miss for me (MC Pee Pants and the episode where Meatwad had the angry doll were comedy gold), but now it's gotten more miss than hit. I think the only CN original production worth watching on Adult Swim now is the Venture Brothers. That show is laugh out loud funny in a way no other show on there is. I even printed out my own Brock Samson License to Kill and had it laminated! :D

I'm really bummed that they never made more episodes of The Eltingville Club. That one episode they showed was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life, and god knows they could never have run out of material. I guess there were too many self-loathing nerds that didn't like it because it hit too close to home (as a self-accepting nerd I loved it *because* it hit so close to home).

5. Venture Bros kills me...
I used to watch Jonny Quest like religion while growing up. I yold my sister (another JQ childhood fan) about it and she called me in the middle of the night in tears (from laughing) during the episode when the manly-chick went "under covers" and slept with Dr. Venture.

11. Race died in tonight's episode.
I thought it was a pretty cool nod to JQ.

10. Sealab doesn't make me laugh.
I don't get its appeal. :(

I love AQHF, HB, and Venture Brothers.

I LOATHE the horrifically unfunny Super Milk-Chan. I'm totally indifferent to Tom Goes to the Mayor (I don't think it's funny, but it doesn't annoy me the way SMC does).

(OT: I'm enjoying these new DU groups! It's really cool to see who you have stuff in common with.)
