Please be mindful of Rule 2
Also, Adult swim was great when they started because there were a few shows that didn't do well during primetime, but were perfect for late night. With most of those shows now gone they have resorted to mostly original content. It is hit or miss.

They keep on green lighting awful live action shows like Tim & Eric, and horribly cheap cartoons like Squidbillies and 12 Oz. Mouse; meanwhile, they cancel good cartoons like Stroker & Hoop, and Korgoth of Barbaria. Their glory days are over.
I mainly just watch it for new eps of Robot Chicken & Venture Bros. Although, I have to admit, Delocated is somewhat entertaining. However, I probably just think that because many of the actors were writers for Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

I'm probably the only person on these forums that avidly dislikes ATHF. I just don't think it's funny at all. I do love Robot Chicken and Venture Brothers, but I've never really gotten into anything else on Adult Swim recently. I miss Sealab and Space Ghost.

Why does Tom Goes and it's bastard children still exist?
Anyway, I'm still a HUGE fan of ATHF, and of course Venture Bros. and Robot Chicken. Frisky Dingo was pretty awesome too. It just sucks that the studio that made that show and others (70/30) went under.
Other than those, the anime they show (like Code Geass right now) keep me glued.

I have no idea. I couldn't stand Tom Goes To The Mayor or the Tim & Eric show. Those two shows were just terrible.

No, you are not alone in that opinion.

I have seen discussions on those shows on other forums as well. I have never seen even one person actually say they like those shows.

Tom Goes To The Mayor at least has a story to it. The Tim & Eric show is just a pile of random nonsense and is totally unfunny. Tom Goes To The Mayor is not funny either but at least there is something resembling a story in each episode.

I found it funny. It wasn't brilliant like Venture Bros. is, but it was still entertaining.

Adult Swim is trash now, because just like Seth Mcfarlane and Family Guy, they bring in so many viewers to Cartoon Network they're allowed to do whatever they want.

*does a quick mental check of what he watches on CN*
Venture Brothers, 6teen, Transformers Animated, Batman: The Brave and The Bold, King of the Hill, Chowder, Star Wars: Clone Wars, ummm that's about it. Wow, most of that stuff isn't even AS material. I like catching Justice League/Unlimited on Boomerang.

I miss the old Adult Swim when they had bumps that actually involved a pool.
Also, I severely miss Space Ghost CtC, Sealab 2021 and all the episodes of Home Movies they used to run. Home Movies is so underrated and incredible.

Awww, I forgot about Home Movies. They rarely show it now, and when they do it's always on at like 1 in the morning.

I know. When they first announced that they were bringing back family guy I was so excited.
If I could have only seen into the future...

See thats what i miss, that was a good show. It's on demand still i think, if you have comcast. The only newer show that i thought was kinda cool was superjail. Do they still show that?

I think I've finally realized what niche Superjail fills. It has the same vibe as something that should've been put on Liquid Television. It's an okay show.
