Home Movies - B
Baby Blues - Give the show a chance. B+
ATHF - Not that great an episode. C+
Sealab - One of my favorite episodes ever! A+
Mission Hill - I personally think this is the worst episode yet. It was okay, but it just focused too much on Kevin and his plot, and didn't really focus on anything else. Didn't like it that much. B
SGC2C - I'll miss this show. The full series gets an A, had its share of horrible episodes, but had enough hilarious episodes and commercials to make up for it. Hopefully it'll be back soon. Episode 1 also A, the second episode: HORRIBLE WAY TO END THE SERIES! At least it wasn't Momentary...

[dawnyoshi]

ALl right. About time I get to the review. -_-

Home Movies- Acting Class: It sucks. Not worth my time to write.

Home Movies- Fish Eye Lens: ditto.

Baby Blues: The episode that makes you rethink parenthood. And my god, do they show it in a hilarious form or what?! The episode BB hates would love! True character design and hilarity at its best on AS! A+

Didn't watch ATHF and Sealab. Too busy downloading Counterstrike.

Mission Hill: A hilarious episode that all must love. We get character insight of Kevin and see how deadly his friends can be with their computer's fried. And pimp jokes give it a boost! ^_^A

[noclist]

Hey, I've given the show plenty of chances and it's just not worth it for me to watch anymore. It's not my fault I don't like it.

[Floydian Slip]

HM: A
HM2: B+
BB: D-
ATHF: B+
SL: B
MH: A
SGc2c: A
SGC2C #2: B

[JTurner954]

Home Movies: Well, I like the second episode more than the first one. The stuff with the cheering for the cellphone and Brendon getting a job seemed a lot better. Both episodes get an A though.

Baby Blues: Watched South Park instead. "Simpsons did it" "Simpsons did it". How ironic.

Mission Hill: Ok episode. The nerdy kids were annoying, but the brother was cool. Overall grade: B

LOL! you guys talk as if we haven't all seen 13 episodes of Baby Blues.
13 episodes = a chance

[mrpopadopolis]

Everything except Baby Blues was great tonight. I friggin' hate Baby Blues, it wastes a perfectly good half hour of Adult Swim!

[KingKoopa]

Alright. If you gave it a chance and don't like it, that probably means you don't understand it. Which is fine, as long as you gave it a chance.

[livingfruitvirus]

I've decided tonight I'm going to review AS!! For the first time in months too. I even made a new review system for myself :). So here I go. Vrooom.....


Home Movies:

Episode 108: "Method of Acting" - Already reviewed this once, so I'll just give it the B+ it deserves. This was the first episode that REALLY got me into Home Movies.

GRADE: B+
+ Brendon's acting exercising and Paula's relationship with her student
- The constant tweening that cancelled out the Squigglevision.

Episode 109: "Life Through a Fish Eye Lens" - See above.

GRADE: B
+ Brendon's job hunting, especially with Erik!
- Scenes with Jason and Melissa drag on.



Baby Blues:

Episode 475-137: "The Christmas" - The animation was pretty crappy. The character animation at least. The rest was great. I loved the dream sequences too. Like "You Can't Win!" and Wanda the witch. When it all comes down to it, everyone sucks as parents.

GRADE: A
+ Dream sequences, Darryl on Karaoke
- Too much of the Zoe crying bit and seeing Darryl and Wanda miserable



Aqua Teen Hunger Force:

Episode 2101: "Escape From Leprauchpolis" - Meh. It was ok. After seeing all these new better eps, it kinda stinks.

GRADE: C-
+ Dr. Weird's opening as usual, and Meatwad's speech
- Scenes drag on and on and on.....



Sealab 2021:

Episode 2001: "Radio Free" - Ah my favorite of the first few episodes. This was the ep that made me keep watching Sealab, and for that I will always love it.

GRADE: A+
+ Everything Murphy does is golden!
- The sea captain and son in the closing credits.



Mission Hill:

Episode 3950-07: "Nocturnal Admissions" or "Kevin vs. the SATs" - Before this ep, I told Matt Wilson that if the rating disappeared, I'd piss myself. Well my new chair is ruined, and i almost did it again with the hillarity of this episode! I liked how the episode focused mostly on Kevin and gave Andy a break. And Posey got in on some plot too. Great episode!!! Oh, and I was so hoping they would use the ass-massage in the preview last week, and whoohoo! They did! Thank you CN!

GRADE: A++
+ "Pimpy McPimppimp," Posey kicking the pimp off the roof, Gus giving Andy a good butt rub.
- The whole "Kevin's a crook" moral dilemma



Space Ghost Coast to Coast:

Episode 9907: "Fire Ant" - Yay Conan! When are they gonna get Phil Henry on this show anyway? Oh, and Conan should be lucky he got to plug his show on SGC2C.

GRADE: A-
+ Conan yelling at Space Ghost and catching on fire
- The lengthy Space Ghost fanfare


Episode 9906: "Table Read" - Good insight on the SGC2C crew. BTW, having been through Williams Street myself, I can tell you that the rest of the building is as dull painted and full of vents as that room is. This is also the only time I've seen Sean Akins involved with Space Ghost.

GRADE: B+
+ We get to go behind the scenes at an actual table read to see how a show is done before it's recorded.
- The conversation gets boring at times.

[noclist]

Alright. If you gave it a chance and don't like it, that probably means you don't understand it. Which is fine, as long as you gave it a chance.

???

How can you not understand Baby Blues? If someone doesn't like the show and you do, it simply means they have a different opinion about it than you do, not that they don't understand it. It's not like a show such as Baby Blues is very complicated anyway.

[BADBATZ]

I guess I'll start punditing here too...

Home Movies:

Argh, woke up late so I didn't see Method of Acting. Saw it before though, not really my favorite season one, but I remember the PRETTY GIRLY stuff saved it. "Life through a Fish Eye Lens" wasn't the best either but this time around Paula and Erik saved it many times over. - B for both

Baby Blues - Actually one of the more decent episodes, but I just don't feel like the show endures that well in reruns. In fact even the best episodes are grating and tedious. It feels like I've heard all these jokes 5 times, told better actually. It's a show that more than lives up to its' theme song. The fact that next week I lose SGC2C and have to deal with it twice only increases the dislike of the show a hundredfold, I'd honestly rather be watching Pilot Candidate presented in MST3Kvision. Hey...there's an idea for WS. - C-

ATHF and Sealab 2021 - I think I've written like 3 reviews each for these. Still no Murphy Murph rerun@! Oh well that happens next week. - B+ for ATHF, C for Sealab

Mission Hill - This was great, but much more on the strength of Posey's subplot and Gus' Navy crack. And that pimp... Kevin's starting to wear on me. I think his main purpose in the show is to make everybody else comical, or at least it seems that way to me. - A-

SGC2C - "Fire Ant" is gold. Pure gold. Space-man, a better rip on the WB than Baby Blues could ever HOPE to think of, and the ant. "Table Read" is really interesting, I guess it's just me but it's seems sorta cool being able to peer in on the creative process of insane wizards. - A+ for Fire Ant, A for Table Read

[Scooter]

hm1: C+.... no movies?
hm2: B
bb: C- ...boring
athf: a- ... underated episode with a lot of funny lines
Sealab: A+... so far the best ive seen... the zing of the day!
mh: D.... lame
SG1: A-
SG2: B




I hate marco, I hate marco
I hate and his mailbox head

[Captain Harlock]

Home Movies # 1 : B +, I am a pretty lady .

Home Movies # 2 : Unrated, I watched Crank Yankers instead.

Baby Blues : Watched South Park instead.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: A - , Watching Carl get tossed around is priceless.

Sealab 2021: C + , I don't like this episode alot, when Murphy is alone.. Meh.

Mission Hill: A , A pimptastic episode.

Space Ghost C 2 C : "Fire Ant" An above par episode, not too much humour which stands out. B +

Space Ghost C 2 C: "Table Read" Its nice to see behind the scenes. A

[DJRed]

Ahhh A night of classics.

You know I completely skipped the first season of Home Movies on purpose. I hated suigglevision. But i learned to love in the second season and now I hardly even notice any squiggling at all.
It's odd. The first time I looked at it I just remember seeing the whole damn thing bumpin around and just squiggling now that's all gone.... I thought I would have to get used to the squiggle and instead it just went away.... well whatever. I love Home Movies. 2 great episodes.

I also liked this Baby Blues episode. This one part in particular always sticks out. When Rodney has that little chat with the baby I really enjoy that seen. I suppose that's what you'd call character development. He acts the way he does cause he thinks that's the only way he can get attention. That was a real nice seen.

Then you have your classic eps of ATHF and Sealab. Overplayed but great as always.


I really wish there was a chance of AS getting new Mission Hills eventually. It's a great show and is exactly what is needed on AS right now.
Man, don't piss of Posey or she'll kick your ass of a roof. Literally.

And then Finally Table Read. Cartoon Networks first, last and absolute greatest live action show ever.
MR. FISHOPOLIS!!!!!!!! WHY DID THEY CUT THAT?!?!?!?
AND THE LA COOCKAROCHA RAY!!!!! WHY DID THEY CUT THAT?!?!?!? I LOVE THAT JOKE!!!
phew. Don't usually do the reviews. But just had to ask about that SG episode.

[Kitton]

Home Movies: Method of Acting - A great episode! I loved the hovercraft thing and when Brendon and his mom were lieing to each other. A
Life Through a Fish Eye Lens - Angin, another wonderful episode. A

Baby Blues: Christmas Special - I think that this is the best Baby Blues... Which isn't really saying much, but I think this episode diserves an A-

Aqua Teen Hungar Force: Lepraconpolis (not spelled right :o ) Everyone hates this episode but I love it! I thought it was so funny. A+

Sea Lab: Radio Free - This is one of my three favorite sea labs. "Flush that ya *****." A+

Mission Hill: Kevin vs. the S.A.T. - I loved the side plot with Posey! That gets an A+, but the other part with Kevin only gets a B. But over all a good episode.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast: Fire Ant - I love this episode, it is so confusing but yet so funny. A+
Table Read - This episode was very interesting, epecially to be able to see all the actors. A+

If you didn't know, This was the last adult swim with space ghost. Sigh. So long Tad. :(

[Vin]

I personally think "Baby Blues" is one of the better Adult Swim shows. Many of you may not like it and that's okay, but I do not think it sucks. In fact, I hope Adult Swim airs its second season that was made for the WB, but never aired.

Interesting to note: The Christmas special was actually the first episode produced nearly a year or so before the show premiered on the WB. The Christmas special served as a pilot for the new series (which, at the time, was being called "Bluesville"), but the WB kept delaying it. Finally, when the series did air on the WB in the summer of 2000, it achieved high ratings for the network. Only a few episodes aired, while the others were held over. The WB ordered something like 18 more episodes for the second season, in addition to the episodes that were held over, bringing the total to 22 or 23 new episodes. This was done because the WB feared they wouldn't have much programming for the strike, so they ordered the episodes in advance. However, the strike never happened and the WB found success with "Sabrina" and decided "Baby Blues" did not fit the WB.

I am glad the series airs on Adult Swim. Here's hoping we get the unaired second season.

[SimonMoon5]

Home Movies: Missed the first episode. Second episode was so-so. B-

Baby Blues: A good episode focusing on why I plan to never have children. B

ATHF: It sucks. Watched Insomniac with Dave Atell instead.

Sealab: Came back to watch bits during commercials during Insomniac. Didn't see enough to make me want to keep watching.

Mission Hill: C-. Poor grade reflects my continuing distaste of the main character, the immoral (yet with dichotomous geeky beliefs about morality) and pathetic, squeaky-voiced intelligent kid. Or maybe it's just my bad memories of getting a 1440 on the SAT (that little brat beat me by 20 points?) and also being rejected by Yale.

[Cactusjack1999]

Mission Hill - BEST QUOTE EVER: Help Me *****.

Great episode. Very funny. I liked Message subplot. To tell the truth I acctually know someone that got a 1550 on the SAT's.

Final Grade: A

[RADSPS20028488]

[stanteau]

Aqua Teens-WORST EPISODE!I remmeber when I saw this I was apalled by it's total crappiness,I wentb on and on about how crappy this show was....then came Bus of the Undead.Anywho just a really horrible episode.

F

Sealab-Ehhh,not one of my favs.The bleep gag got old fast and the overlal plot was pretty dumb.

C-

Mission Hill-YES!Pimpalicious pimpy mcpimperton!Every plot here was so dman funny.Even the lack of Jim wasn't that noticeable but I really wish they'd focus less on the gay couple and iunclue the Hispanic couple,they could add a whole "normal" perspective to the show and the Janeway stuff was hillarious,anyone who has friends into star trek got a whole new meaning from that joke.IF this ahd more Jim it'd be an A+.

Rating-A

Space Ghost-Thank god this show is cancelled.I don't see how this is supposed to be funny.Wow,Space Ghost isn't syaing anything,FUNNY!Not.The table read was the only funny part when you hear George Lowe's real voice.

Rating-D

Mission Hill - Very good. Loved the Pimp/Posey storyline. Pimpy McPimperton.! HA! A-

[SirLemming]

Space Ghost was great... I hope it returns somewhat soon. I really wanna see the full version of Fire Ant! I've never seen it, so I can't tell what gags from Table Read were totally scrapped or just shortened for this version.

[VinnieVegas]

Mission Hill(dont get me wrong, other than Family Guy and Clerks, Its one of the greatest animated series ever)...Last Night Mission Hill Sucked, Bad..The only good parts were with Andy..Kevin sucks.

No episode will surpass "The ******bag Factor"

The only way you could see it again is if you taped it.

[Secef]

The only difference between the extended Fire Ant and the shortened version is 15 minutes of Space Ghost crawling across various terrains, occasionally humming to himself or muttering a comment to the ant. Rather funny for about 5 minutes, but then it gets tiresome and boring. You're not missing any extra jokes or Dr. Fishopolis getting shaved (sadly).

[zarius]

Baby Blues: A++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is the best animated comedy series since Family Guy. [I see that I'm alone in that opinion, nuts], What kind of idiot would put a Chirstmas special in the middle of july is beyond me.




Home Movies: "Life Through a Fish Eye Lens" B-

One of the weaker episodes, saved only by the HILARIOUS consequences that each "odd-job" Brendon takes, provides.

"Three Cheers for Melissas's Cell Phone"

I watched a Brack Show Marathon after this, so I did'nt see the remainder of the A.S lineup.
