Adult Swim should be mandatory.
I, as I'm sure many of you did, lost interest in most regularly scheduled cartoons long ago. But, I guess starting with Beavis and Butthead, I turned over a new leaf in my relationship with animation. I sought out the weird adult-humor driven 'toons. Southpark fell in not long after Cornholio... but none of these ever sparked the love fest that I have with Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Chocked full of weird shows but peppered with some of the ones you already know so you don't feel too out of place. (my beloved) Family Guy, Futurama, SeaLab 2021, The Venture Brothers and, my personal favorite, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. (notice the pictures I've posted and cry like the jealous bitch you are!) Here in the last month, Adult Swim has started running Seth Green's brainchild - Robot Chicken. Old-school stop-motion animation with outrageous plot lines - toothfairy interrupts a domestic disturbance... ha, hilarious guest voices - Burt Reynolds and Ryan Seacrest were on the last episode I watched - if you haven't seen it yet, you should watch for it. Original if nothing else. Here's a write-up on the series... http://animatedtv.about.com/od/robotchicken/p/robotchicken.htm
