did i catch the episode with? Ha! Futurama is easily my favorite show on adult swim (sure, it was a fox show, but hey). It never gets old and has a real heart (like the bee episode last night where fry died, sorta).
Family guy was awesome back in the day. I was one of the few that watched it back before it was being cancelled every week and then got put on dvd and adult swim. It was once fresh, sure it had a simpsons dynamic in ways, but that's practically just the sitcom dynamic. Family guy was a slew of fast jokes and out there refrences that actually push lines, tastefully (as compared to drawn together which just throws up everyhting past the line with no brains making it just fuckin dumb).
Then it was renewed, and it was stale. Jokes linger too long and become forulaic (sp?). It just got MOR and has more on the line now so they're going to pander to masses and not take chances like they used to.
I just hope that the new episodes of futurama won't suck. I'm sure they'll at least be ok.
And finally... simpsons will always be great, even if recent episodes aare slipping a bit. It's the simpsons. And south park... I think south park actually got better as it went on... they're 10 yrs in and, if not better, then they;re at least riding on a plateau of they're peak. I'm not able to catch as often as I used to, but when I do I still find it funny.
And thus concludes what's probably most longest post yet and for awhile. I talk about this a lot i guess.
