Updated for 2004 - Adult Swim, best current show (comedy only)

[on:]

OK, since there's been a lot of turnover, it's time to redo this poll. Also, Futurama isn't included because everybody'd wind up choosing it.

And I've included Super Milk-Chan because it's been sheduled in the middle of the comedy block rather than with the rest of the anime.

I loves me some Birdman. Stephen Colbert! I am powerless to resist!

Home Movies is pure excellence in television writing, 'nuff said.

[Reply #3 on:]

Since Family Guy is the only show there that I've ever seen it gets my vote

Venture Brothers is absolutely hilarous, with good action. Home Movies comes in a close second.

[Reply #8 on:]

Go Brock!
Subdue them techno heathens!

[Reply #9 on:]

Damn I don't know any of them except for family guy.

Venture Brothers is my favorite of the current list.  ATHF is second for me, but this last season was fairly uneven.  I like Home Movies as well, but can that even be considered part of the current line up?  I don't recall seeing it as part of the broadcast schedule for a while now.

[Reply #11 on:]

Yeah, Venture Bros. is funny as hell, I can't believe it won't come out on DVD for a year.  What's up with that?

[Reply #12 on:]

Anyone notice [as] went old school this week. In my opinion, the old intros were stupid as hell. The new ones with the white letters on black background are much better. (And funnier.)

They're ok, to look back at what was, but I like the new ones better.

Adult Swim has gone back to their old promos. For the past few days they have aired old promos like Leela giving some guy CPR and he faints when he sees Leela. I haven't seen those promos since April 2003. What made them stop using the black and white messages?

[Reply #15 on:]

Dunno, it's only temperary, they'll probally be back next week.


Arrested Developement Needs Your Help!  Go to we.com and click on Pop Culture (or something) and take the poll, vote for Arrested Developement for show of the year.  Right now it's third behind "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives".

[Reply #16 on:]

It should be behind Lost.

@FryFan, this week was "classic bump week".

@bankrupt, Home Movies is on at 1:30 eastern on Sunday.

[Reply #17 on:]

Yup, I voted Sealab 2021.

[Reply #18 on:]

Venture Bros. for current original...

I also like ATHF and Home Movies.

[Reply #19 on:]

For some reason, I just cannot stand Home Movies. The flickering outlines on the animation just bugs me too much.

I think you're talking about the squigglevision...which they dropped after season one because they hated it too.

Same here, and Family Guy isn't worth knowing anyway...

[Reply #22 on:]

I'd have to go with Home Movies. Some of the others are okay, but I don't normally laugh out loud except in Home Movies.

[Reply #23 on:]

I love the Venture Bros. I'm glad they are winning.

[Reply #24 on:]

Yeah Venture brothers!

@Dr. Morberg, i'm not saying Arrested should be ahead of Lost, i'm just saying it should be ahead of Desperate Housewives.

[Reply #25 on:]

Go Team Venture!!

What an awesome show. I can't believe it comes on  so late.

[Reply #26 on:]

Only 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9 come on the detour (Teletoon's version of Adult Swim) as far as I know. I'm going to go with Harvey Birdman for the two part episode where...
*Six months later*
He got sent to prison.

[Reply #27 on:]

I'm gonna have to go with Venture Brothers, but don't think for one moment Tom Goes To The Mayor doesn't deserve your undying love. Because it does.

Are they still playing Mission Hill?  I haven't seen it in a while.

[Reply #29 on:]

Probably not. I guess I was kind of misleading. I mean those are the ones that they have shown at some point. Knowing Teletoon, I'd give it a year before they change things up and start airing Mission Hill and Clone High again.

[Reply #30 on:]

Home Movies is the only one of these that I like.

Eh, I don't know.  I've only seen one episode of Tom Goes To The Mayor (bear traps), but it was pretty poor.  I haven't seen enough to give it a thumbs down, but what I've seen so far wasn't too inspiring.

[Reply #32 on:]

Family Guy is the only show I watch on AS besides Futurama.So my vote goes to Family Guy.

[Reply #33 on:]

I saw the last half of the restoring theme park episode (Tom Goes to the Mayor), I though Patton Oswald was funny.

But my vote went for Venture Bros.

[Dr. Orpheus]And that is WHERE IT SHALL STAY!!![/Dr. O]

second pick would be Futurama
third would be Family Guy.

[Reply #34 on:]

Family Guy's got my vote.

[Reply #35 on:]

Family guy would be a wasted vote, I don't even know why it's up there, I mean, everyone loves Family Guy, I want to know, besides Futurama and Family Guy, which show is your favorite?

Venture Brothers

[Reply #36 on:]

If Family Guy is such an obvious winner, why is Venture Brithers beating it 2-1?

[Reply #37 on:]

Because people agree with me.

[Reply #38 on:]

Venture Brothers.....no contest.

[Reply #39 on:]

Though I love all those shows (except for Sealab and Super Milk Chan), gotta go with Venture Brothers.
