Does anyone watch "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Grondar · 04-19-2003, 11:04 PM

I recently discovered Adult Swim after reading about it showing Family Guy re-runs in the upcoming days.

I haven't seen many shows yet, but I plan on watching more Adult Swim, as it seems to have an interesting line-up. The Family Guy will be the main draw, but I think I will stick around for the other shows as well.

Do any of you watch Adult Swim currently? What are your thoughts? Good, bad? Do any shows stand out as being better than others?

I will admit at first I was a little reluctant to watch cartoons, being 21, but then I realized that I like the Simpsons a lot, and am enjoying the Family Guy more an more.. So Adult Swim may become a "perfect fit" in a sense.

teflonian · 04-19-2003, 11:15 PM

I don't know if Space Ghost is still on Adult Swim, but I love that show. The Brak Show is a spin off of Space Ghost and that may be on Adult Swim too, and again that show cracks me up. So, I guess I don't really know much about Adult Swim but am pretty certain those two shows I mentioned have something to do with Adult Swim. In any case you should check those out. Weird off the wall humor that I enjoy.

phunktastic · 04-20-2003, 06:10 AM

Adult Swim is great! Sunday Night Adult Swim is some of the best TV out there. Home Movies is such a great and pointless show

Plus they show lots of cool anime during the week.

kgb · 04-20-2003, 07:49 AM

I just got rid of my cable so I don't get the cartoon network anymore. I did catch Adult Swin a few times though and I thought it was really good.

dankitti · 04-20-2003, 08:39 AM

space ghost coast to coast RAWKS!

classic episode: Thom York and Bjork. THAT was fun!

frenik · 04-20-2003, 11:42 AM

Family Guy starts tonight! I can't wait, I used to love that show but I could never keep track of where it was, they kept moving it around.

Ciall · 04-20-2003, 12:23 PM

i've never heard of it.
cartoon network is where i get my fix of ed,edd and eddy & dexters laboratory.

Junkmale78 · 04-21-2003, 12:19 AM

Home Movies is the best show on Adult Swim ! It looks real amateur at first, but it is funny!
Its got the same style as Dr. Katz....made by the same people,i think. speaking of Dr.Katz....bring on the DVD!

shinji · 04-21-2003, 01:09 AM

adult swim is one of the only things i watch on tv anymore.

home movies: the animation sucks, but that's not the point.
inuyasha: the dub is cute. fantasy adventure anime.
the brak show: morals are for sissies.
trigun: big guns and crazy ass violence.
cowboy bebop: postmodern western.

although i could do without the ripping friends. superhero parodies are so cliche.

phunktastic · 04-21-2003, 04:49 AM

I could also live without the Ripping Friends. The first thing I thought when I watched it was that the characters must have been best buds with Powdered Toast Man. Except that Ren & Stimpy ruled

thecriminal · 04-21-2003, 10:44 AM

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the fucking best!

LordEden · 04-21-2003, 02:41 PM

During the week, animes are great. Trigun is just great, even tho Vash is a wuss half the time, home movies is funny, inuyasha is fun; my gf loves is to death, can't miss it. Cowboy bebop defies all cartoon laws, it's that good. If you have a chance watch sunday-thrusday, during the week anime, sunday it's fucked up cartoons night. ATHF is just fucking funny, I can't stop laughing... might be this shit I just smoked, but it's still fucking funny! Sealab 2021 made me crack a rib.... BIZZZZARRROOOO!!!

World's King · 04-21-2003, 03:16 PM

It's the only thing that's good on Cartoon Network other than Scooby-Doo

KillerYoda · 04-21-2003, 03:19 PM

Love Adult swim, although they're buying up a lot of 1 to 2 season toons lately.

phunktastic · 04-21-2003, 03:27 PM

haha,, forgot about Sealab,, God that show is great.

eyelessloki · 04-21-2003, 08:23 PM

i have been watching adult swim from the start, i personally think that it is one of the best things cartoon network has done. i have enjoyed almost every show they have played. i didn't care much for groovanins and the ripping friends

copenhagen · 04-21-2003, 09:48 PM

the ripping friends suck, but everyone seems to know that already. Everything else is great though, and thank god they brought family guy back.

holtmate · 04-22-2003, 09:00 AM

Adult Swim is one of the best things that Cartoon Network coul;d have done, IMO. Now that they've added Futurama and The Family Guy, it's almost perfect.
And, it doesn't hurt that they put Trigun in there either.

04-22-2003, 09:32 AM

Haven't really seen it until last night..saw a bit before heading to bed...kept me quite well entertained. I'd watch it again but I'm always going to bed too early. Will have to check if it is on the toon network up north.

queedo · 04-22-2003, 02:50 PM

Hell yes! Adult swim is one of the funniest shows on TV today!

TheDave87 · 04-22-2003, 08:43 PM

Aqua Teen! Meatwad is the funniest fucker around.

mullet hunter · 04-23-2003, 06:28 PM

I mainly watch ATHF, SeaLab 2021, The Brak Show and Home Movies. And if I'm in a wierd mood, I'll get down with The Oblongs...although I'm not to crazy bout that one.

Troublebot · 04-24-2003, 01:20 PM

If they came out with a DVD full of ATHF and Sealab, I would drown in my own tears of joy.

Ok, maybe not, but it would still be pretty cool.

verminsk · 04-24-2003, 09:31 PM

Ever since they went to an almost full week schedule whoever is in charge has done a good job of rotating different series in and out. Keepin' it fresh.

fugue_life · 04-25-2003, 01:44 AM

Sealab 2021 is the funniest thing out there, and you can downloas most of them on kazaa (only about 10-15min for anyone who hasn't seen it) To go againist the grain, I don't care for home movies, and i only really watch Oblongs because of Will Ferrell.

brandon11983 · 04-25-2003, 02:01 PM

I found Adult Swim a few nights ago, while Family Guy was on. It's good to see such a funny show back on TV.

But Trigun is almost over

But then I wouldn't mind seeing it over again.

I don't like Friday night Adult Swim though... Nor Sunday night....

BubblegumTeflon · 04-26-2003, 09:45 AM

Wow I should watch that sometime. the only thing missing is the Tick, love that big goofball blue guy.

Dustallica · 02-27-2004, 10:13 PM

I just bought the ATHF and Space Ghost DVD's. Some of the best money i've ever spent.

Is anyone else going to buy them?

RedCometChar · 02-27-2004, 11:35 PM

Aqua Teens, I own. I've watched them three times already and doubt I'll ever get tired of them. Space Ghost... I'm not as fond of as I used to be They dampened my enthusiasm with almost an entire season of episodes where the entire point was to see how much the viewer would tolerate before getting pissed. Remember when he went to see Warren, and at the end there was a segue into the same episode, starting over again? With no changes, yet?

I still see some gold occasionally (Old Kentucky shark!). I might pick up the set, if I knew which episodes were on there.

bltzkriegmcanon · 02-28-2004, 06:26 AM

I like the anime that comes on Adult Swim.

Qazwsxedc · 02-28-2004, 10:39 AM

sorry, what the hell is adult swim ( i dont' get cartoon network)??

Qazwsxedc · 02-28-2004, 10:40 AM

i really like Justice League tho!! i'm hoping they release the seasons on DVD!

philosopherking · 02-28-2004, 11:43 AM

Adult Swim is a block of nightly programing on cartoon network that is geared towards adult. There are gems such as Family Guy and Futurama that you might be familiar with from FOX. My favorite however would have to be Home Movies. I love how random it is sometimes, and all of the movie references are great for a film buff.

pinklily · 02-28-2004, 12:11 PM

adult swim- whenever I have time to watch it. Aqua Teens is my favorite. sucks that i can barely watch it anymore.

deepinjello · 02-28-2004, 08:19 PM

My friend can recite the entire Moonites episode of Aqua Teen verbatim. That's how powerfuly addicting the show is. I love it and (nearly) everything they put on there. Too many great shows to mention indvidudally. They also have hiliraous bumpers now, between the commericals and the shows, they just cut me up.

Church · 02-29-2004, 06:11 PM

lol, Home Movies is the best show ever.

Scipio · 02-29-2004, 07:30 PM

I like the comedies (a lot!; aqua teen and sealab are two of the funnies shows I've ever watched), but fuck the anime.
