        I like the episode where Shaggy and Scooby get locked up for "possession".

        And the evidence part was pretty funny too.



        Which reminds me, I saw a couple of the adult swim bumps and they said they were gonna start airing in Australia or Europe (can't remember which one).

        Did it already happen?

          Some of the Super Milk Chan's are good, but some others are really annoying.
          The first half of Witch Hunter Robin is good, but after that it get incredibly boring and tedious.

            Imran, I highly recommend you give some of the others a try, particularly Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Venture Brothers, and Harvey Birdman. I loved Sealab and Space Ghost, and am enjoying Robot Chicken.

            I voted for Venture Brothers; it ever so slightly edges past ATHF & Birdman.

            But, Futurama is the shiznit. I cannot ****ing believe I didn't get into it when it first ran on Fox. Musta been smoking too much crack.

                  Damn I just realized how long it's been since I watched Adult Swim--I was hunting for the Mission Hill option.

                  It rocked.

                    Mission Hill!!!!

                    Man, I really liked that episode where Kevin gets drunk...and at the end he calls his parents drunk.

                    Ahhhh, memories.

                        ATHF -- the only reason I don't turn TGttM off is in the hope that ATHF will be in the second 15 minute slot.
                        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                          Venture Brothers edges out ATHF for me. Can not wait until the first season comes out on DVD.

                            You left out the one where Will Ferrell voices a man with no arms or legs whose suburbanite family lives in nuclear waste.

                            ATHF, followed closely by Home Movies.

                            The guys who make ATHF first realized that their little crappy animation show was a hit when one of the SportsCenter guys said "it makes the homies say 'ho' and the girlies want to scream" on air.

                              Here I though this was a serious poll thread to see who can or can not swim.

                              Just what the hell is Adult Swim?

                                I don't watch much of Adult Swim's original stuff, but I could definitely respect Sealab 2021's ridiculousness.

                                WHR is awesome, definitely one of my favorite series. Shame that it didn't seem to play quite as well in the States as I thought it would.

                                Qilue: It's a block of programming that the Cartoon Network does at night. They have their own demented unique shows, and generally top it off with some anime later on. Lately it's done very well for itself with Futurama & The Family Guy in the 11:00 slots, old FOX cartoons which were canceled before their time and were beating out the networks in ratings. Really.



                                I will say that I think anime distributors have dropped the ball at some point. Anime is growing less and less a part of Adult Swim (it was near all they had when it first launched four years ago or so, what with Cowboy Bebop, and the window to really take it more mass market is fading a bit. The anime distributors here in the States like to keep things entirely too expensive; sure, the hardcore are not price-sensitive, but the vast majority of people are. Releasing a mere 3 episodes per DVD is not a good way to increase market share. (Then again, from what I understand, manga sales have absolutely exploded among the middle school girl crowd over the past 3 year or so, so I might be totally off.)
                                All syllogisms have three parts.
                                Therefore this is not a syllogism.
