Man, Adult Swim had some really good shows
- Thread starter wwm0nkey

I'll continue to sing the praises of Joe Pera Talks With You. The show is pure genius and is such a great counter to everything else Adult Swim has produced.
Seriously, if anyone in here is sleeping on Pera, stop what you're doing and stream the show. I believe the first season is available for free on the Adult Swim site while some of his earlier work with MTV or independent productions are up on You Tube.
The Golden Age of [as] came at just the right time for me. My late high school and college years were heavily influenced by some of the best shows on TV. Space Ghost, early Aqua Teen, Venture Bros, Sealab, Brak, Harvey Birdman, and a whole mess of amazing anime was just perfect and was endlessly quoted around the dorm.
Still absolutely shocked Venture Bros is still going after all this time.

And VB is the best it's ever been too, the reveals last season is stuff I've been waiting for since S2 lol
I've heard good things about Joe Pera, but I haven't got around to watching it yet. Venture Bros is the shit
This fucking show made my brain bleed lmaoI'm really gonna be the first person to mention Xavier: Renegade Angel? Tell me that ain't so.
Adult swim's animation now has been on the upswing between Mike Tyson Mysteries and Ballmastrz 9009
Children's Hospital is up there among my favs as well as all the classics. Started college in the fall of 2000 and a kid I met there told us about aqua teen and sealab and from then on I've watched AS pretty much every night since then.

My favorite show ever. All of PFFR's AS shows are just incredible.
Joe Pera Talks With You is the best show on TV right now.
Here's two full episodes Adult Swim put on YouTube:
All of Season 1 and the first two episodes of the currently airing Season 2 can be watched without a cable login on the Adult Swim app/site
Children's Hospital is amazing
Eagleheart is pretty great, too

Venture Bros. and Harvey Birdman are basically the only two original Adult Swim shows I care about. Most everything else is trying way too hard to be edgy or weird just for the sake of it.
Tim & Eric: Awesome Show is arguably the most influential comedy series of the 2000's
Yeah, Home Movies was on UPN and it only lasted a season. Nobody watched it.
Exactly to your point, Adult Swim gave him a better platform and three more seasons and now Home Movies is considered one of the best animated series ever made.

Also...this entire scene is comedic gold, especially when he yells.
Also arguably the weirdest show in the network's history.
I tried to watch their film and only got about 10 minutes in before I couldn't stomach it any longer.
I've said this many times, but I'm mad Moral Orel never got a full home video release in America. I would KILL for a Blu Ray set of the whole series.
Was nothing better than hanging out with my roommates and watching some Adult Swim back in the day. ATHF and Sealab were my shit.
Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie is very bad, though. A huge misstep. I wouldn't fault anyone for turning off so quickly. The format doesn't work.
the series and the tv specials are far superior
For that matter, though, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force film is also fucking terrible.
Don't turn 11 minute shows into 90 minute movies!
One of my favorite shows. I hope it keeps going.
AS has so much good stuff they really should have their own channel.

Adult Swim has a ton of garbo, but the good stuff is real good and I'm heartened at the representation in this thread.
ALSO PSA
Childrens Hospital SPINOFF "Medical Police" starts in a week on NETFLIX.

i'm kind of astonished how much this dumb gag still makes me laugh this much. i'm gonna have to give this whole thing a rewatch again soon, god that show was fantastic
Some day our prince will come. Though the true ending is hidden in the vinyl order of Galaktikon II if ya wanna go digging. It's all metaphorical and nowhere as fun a true finale would be, but it's better than nothing.
Off the Air
Lucy Daughter of the Devil
The Room
The Room was it's own thing and had nothing to do with Adult Swim as for as production but they had aired it in it's entirety years ago. I was with friends, high as hell, and just started watching it. At first we thought is AS joke or a Tim & Eric special but by the end we couldn't look away. Adult Swim just randomly showing this one night and we got hooked.

Oh wow I didn't even know that was a thing. Thanks I'll check it out! Vague closure is better than none I guess
I regularly rewatch Sealab and reminisce on better days when I stayed up just to catch an episode.
Still holds up pretty damn well. Of course, the show lost something after the death of Harry Goz, but the latter seasosns are entertaining.

I caught their late night Home Shopping Network once last year and thought it was awfully clever. I used to catch most Saturdays and every Sunday. I just don't think I can watch tv like that anymore. I'll DVR shows I know I like, but I'm not discovering anything new because I'm not just letting that play in the background while I'm doing whatever. I'd rather have Netflix doing its thing or just let YouTube auto play. For me, and there are a few stand outside here and there, but it was Xavier that marked the beginning of the end.
You just named all of my favourites. Brilliant.
At least Bird Girl is currently in production. Something to look forward to!
that was awesome
i remember staying up late to watch space ghost when i was a kid in the 90's and talking about it with my friends at school. everything in that video i was there for and watched it all unfold. cant believe were going on 25 years since those days. fuck im old.
Delocated was great. I actively avoided trying to look up who it was that played the main character. It was some episode of Parks and Rec that made me realize who it was under the mask lol.
