I love the show, and i'm currently trying to get my friends and family hooked on it. But it aint as easy as Family Guy or Futurama.

Originally posted by evan: And what is with the CN scheduling? It seems like they've been replaying the same repeats to death already. If I have to see the "Cybernetic Ghost..." episode again...grr! They've been running the show in order from first episode to last, then doing it again. This is OK with me because it allowed me to tape all of the episodes. For those of you who like toys (that's me), Palisades Toys has purchased the rights to make Adult Swim toys. This means they are making ATHF toys! They showed early prototypes recently. You can see them here, just scroll down the page a little. The license covers the Williams Street stuff. Much to my dismay that means no Futurama toys. According to a post I read from a moderator on Palisades' message boards, they did look into the Futurama license. Unfortunately, they said the license holder (don't know if it's Matt Groening or fox) wanted too much money.

I've watched a few episodes. On most of them, they never left the freaking house. Yet, it's billed as a group of food items that fight evil (or something to that effect) I've gotten a a couple laughs, but only due to its pure stupidity. *Shrugs* Oh well

Originally posted by evan: Is it just me, bankrupt, or do those Palisiades toys look like complete and utter crap? Especially the Meatwad, that looks really terrible. How hard is it to make figures out of what are basically objects with no joints or movement? To be fair, the toys shown there are early prototypes put on display for the San Diego Comic Con. I don't think they are supposed to be released until 2005, so there's plenty of time for improvement. I think the Shake figure looks pretty good for an early prototype, but the Meatwad one does look like crap. I guess they'll have to spend extra time on that one. It might actually be more difficult to make good figures out of a show like ATHF. They have to make a good looking 3d figure out of the crude, 2d animation the show uses. The characters are simple, but the artists have to capture that 2d look in a real world toy. If the line is successful, I'll be interested to see how they handle the Mooninites.

Nah, the PDA episode is the best -- including the Mooninite episodes -- for only one reason: The Trenton Tar Pits. "Hello! This is your captain speaking... I just wanted to let you know, I'm a convicted sex offender."That guy, his creepy voice, and the whole "ride" is just too funny. It's exactly like the underwater ride at Disneyland in the yellow subs, right down to the cheesy pilot dialogue and even cheesier danger.

Yeah, that one's great. www.yzzerdd.com is hilarious. The best episode is Total Re-carl, because of Meatwad. "He's gonna poop himself inside out. It'll be like the inceredible hulk rippin ot the back of his pants" "Hey, I'm gonna start droppin F bombs!"

Originally posted by canned eggs: They're not actually trying too hard. It just looks like it because they're high. You do all understand this, right? This is a show made by high people for high people. This isn't just an assumption; they drop a lot of hints, and none very subtle either. All the stoners I know take bong rips before Williams street shows come on.
Funny, because most of the college kids I know who watch ATHF don't get high before it. I mean, I understand that the show would probably be funnier if high, but if you're solely relying on stoned kids to laugh at your jokes, then that's just stupid. And I refuse to believe any ATHF is "brilliant." It may be good, but "brilliant" is going way too far.

It's brilliant in the same way that Conan O' Brien is brilliant.

I just finished my Master Shake costume. It will be worn this Saturday. I'll post pictures the following week.

But still, even though I like ATHF a lot more than I do Sealab, it gives me a chance to see episodes of that, since I have both DVD sets of ATHF. (And if you don't, you should)
