Tv isn't real life.

Nick figures it can make a few bucks off of it, I assume based upon the numbers they did for the tv movie special he had a while back.

Not really that surprising...

As for the Fred show seems easy enough. Grab a random hyperactive teen, a camera and pitch bend the gak out of the results; pay him poorly for his stupidity. Simple entertainment for those still fascinated by bright flashing colours.

Oh the irony! The painful, painful irony!

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Squidbillies' animation quality grates on me. And Tim and Eric just doesn't strike me as very funny.

Aqua Teen is great, though. And Children's Hosptial (especially with Malin Akerman) is awesome.

Fred though, was never a fan.

Adult Swim used to play awesome anime, but they started to push it further a d furher back a d kept shrinking the time block for it. Don't really have to care anymore though since I've not had tv service for a good year and just watch everything online with my comp hooked up to my tv set.

Except no one cares about fred anymore? Missed the boat by a couple years nick.

Also, I've never seen anything I've particularly disliked on adult swim besides robot chicken. Always though it was overly violent and sophomoric. Tim and Eric is fine, so's frisky dingo, metaljjdfknk, moral orel, venuture brothers, hunger force and squidbillies.

Although squidbillies often makes me literally sick to my stomach. Talk about grimdark... that show is oddly disturbing. Such a hopelessly violent and aggressive situation in a hopeless and bleak land.

You need to watch the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia and then re-watch Squidbillies.

You'll gain a whole new understanding of its genius.
