OT: My rant on Adult Swim

Hey. Just posted a scathing, picture-laden rant on Adult Swim. Check it out at <http://blurty.com/~edisonmstie/>.

I'd love to hear some feedback. Thanks, guys!

Your Fooly Cooly rant page brings up a 404 error. And you completely neglected the Sunday lineup! For shame.

You should post this in the rec.arts.anime.misc newsgroup.

1.)I fixed the link. Sorry, I'm a very middling HTML writer. (A sloppy one too, I guess!)

2.)Who is watching AS on Sunday nights? Shit, dude! I'm watching an NFL game or some baseball I missed while at work (Bless the NESN replay!) or whatever...

3.)I'll put it up there momentarily...

Thanks for the feedback!

I do, at least on the rare occasions that ATHF and Sealab are new. It's fucking football that killed Futurama... and fucking baseball that pushes Fox's fall season for returning shows back to November. Yeah yeah, I know: blame Fox's idiot scheduling department. I've just always been annoyed by the way TV is scheduled around sports. But it's no big deal these days. The only 2 shows I watch on Fox --or network TV-- anymore are Simpsons and 24.

I do. They were fully aware that anything in the 7pm slot would be killed by football overruns, so they sacrificed Futurama.

Yeah, the other networks make Fox look like a jewel of TV wonderment. And even so, Fox has only one show left that I actually look forward to watching (I watch 3 other Fox shows, but I wouldn't care if they were cancelled tomorrow).

Can I ask, what shows are they?

Well, I didn't think it really mattered to anyone, but here they are, along with my capsule reviews. (side note: Futurama is not part of this list because Fox has already dumped it.)

The one I look forward to: Consistently entertaining from beginning to end; the most realistic and yet surreal dysfunctional family writing on TV: Malcolm in the Middle.

And the three they could cancel tomorrow: I started watching it at the beginning, and I'm going to see the job through even though there's not much point to it anymore: Simpsons.

Fell into network-sitcom-sameness some time back but still mostly harmless, so I watch it because the rest of the family wants to: That 70s Show.

You gotta love the way they enjoy being stupid: Banzai.

It mattered tto me! Thanks, agree with you, but I'd replace Banzai with 24.

harmless,

The only FOX show I can tolerate these days is "That 70's Show" and even that is running thin after an awful fifth season. Oh, and FOX's little brother network (which, amusingly, is worlds better), FX, has "Married...With Children". I'm more than halfway through the 259 episodes. Tape # 9, baby!

Married with Children has to be the greatest comedy series ever. Family Guy was funnier, but not by much and MwC was consistently great over _11_ seasons. Glad to see they're finally getting a proper DVD release starting in October.

TV--

"That 70's Show" is good, though I rarely get a chance to watch it. I never miss "24" though, or if I do, I just download it off the net, watch it, and then delete it and wait for the next week's show.

I never cared for Futurama. I think I was too young and stupid to enjoy it when it first aired, and I just haven't had time to get back into it.

Good point about the Red Sox. But for Mueller's error, the Sox would have won 3-0.

Poor Bill. He's my boy. Well, he & Trot. Damn, I dig Trot too! Anyhow, if ANYONE deserves to win the 10th Player award, it's Mr. Mueller. He made everyone very quickly forget about Shea, as he's a great fielder and his bat is on fire. I refuse to believe this "career year" stuff. It's a fabulous year, but I think he still has 1-2 very comparable seasons in him. This guy just exudes talent.

Sadly, Grady Little exudes pork rinds and beer sweat.
