anyone seen this show? It's on Teletoon after Futurama on friday nights, here in Canada. In the usa it's part of adult swim on teletoon. It's also easy to find on bit torrents if you want to DL some episodes. I think it's pretty damn funny, who here watches it?

I watch the Boondocks. I have a goal of recording every show on Adult Swim. My life is not complete without it.

I saw the first few episodes--they were okay. I like the comics much better. The show's funny by TV comedy standards but TV comedy standards are quite low, and the voice actors really bugged me because I imagined them being totally different. But I can see why someone'd like it.

Yes, it's a great show, at least as good as the comic strip, and I'm trying to get everyone I know interested in it. Apparently it's one of those shows no one watches because everyone has a preconceived notion of what they'd see if they did.

I find it very educational. I really need to blacken up. :oops: Almost chickened out and erased that, but I'll post it.

Consider me a grave, then. He performs the part well, it's just the complete opposite of how I imagined the character's voice. I was a fan of the comic strip, and of course imagined it differently. Ditto for most of the rest of the characters. That alone didn't ruin the show or anything, but I do disagree, and I don't appreciate you pre-judging me as worthless based on one disagreement. I absolutely hate screamo and death metal, but I won't consider someone dead to me just because their favorite groups are, say, Atreyu and Cradle of Filth, even though musical taste is definately something I care about.

Remember when they made Garfield a cartoon? Wasn't expecting him to sound like Orson Welles.

Got used to it, though. Can't remember what I originally thought he'd sound like, actually.

Oh, I wouldn't freak out about that--it's just a question.

It's concept art for the Mad Hatter for the game "American McGee's Alice," one of my personal favorites. I do hope the film version is decent, but with Marcus Nispel at the helm I'm not too optimistic (especially considering how disappointingly awful the early reviews have been for his recent/upcoming Viking movie "Pathfinder").
