Phenotype posted:Wait, ATHF = Aqua Teen Hunger Force? That show was gone before it's time? I enjoyed it. It was a weird rear end experiment of a show and they shook things up like three times since you last saw the show? I am glad the Venture stream is still going. It's nice to to just drop in and watch bits through the day!

Nobody has ever been that dedicated in what essentially is a very long series of dick jokes and nobody ever will again.

Carl's Lock continued for about a year after the show ended, iirc. I know nothing about American football (besides the basic rules, I have a soft spot for it since it was the first sport where the PE teacher actually explained the rules before playing) but found it immensely amusing.

Honestly it just seems weird to me how people complain about Mike Lazzo for killing Space Ghost and ATHF before their times, he straight up created Space Ghost, and he was very heavily involved with ATHF in the early days before gradually doing less with it. The only reason ATHF isn't the longest running series Adult Swim ever did is that Venture Bros has surpassed it (and the first ATHF was actually pre-Adult Swim, it premiered on just Cartoon Network)

Isn't Lazzo the only reason that VB is still on the air? I thought he championed the series since the beginning because he likes it. Though I guess that's a pretty lovely way to run a company just based on your personal preferences. But hey, it works for me because I either didn't like those other shows or got tired of them well before they got canceled.

Don't worry, Lazzo is also just kind of a lovely dude even if he likes VB

I think the 70 episode thing is just a nod to the joke about "seven more seasons" in the season 3 opener.

My stream craps out periodically and I have to reload it, but the stream in general is better than hulu. The audio, in particular, is noticeably better airplaying the stream from my phone vs pulling it up on hulu's appletv app.

Wasn't Metalocaypse canceled because Small had no interest in moving to plot forward or something? I like Rick and Morty enough, but its like Ice Pirates to the Venture Bros Star Wars.

Just the opposite, Metalocalypse was in the home stretch and [adult swim] cancelled it before they could wrap up the story.

As another ATHF fan whose zeal for it petered out after S6, welp. Sounds like I've got another sesh to book e: I still occasionally watch old reconstituted Cartoon Planet episodes just to bask in the soothing 90s hot tub once more Data Graham fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jul 13, 2018 |

The thing with ATHF and most adult swim shows is that there is zero quality control, so the difference between a good and a bad episode is massive. Aqua teen certainly wasn't batting 1000 in its later years but stuff like the pod alien that likes chickenfoot is goddamn gold and is, to me, worth sitting through the lovely episodes.

Servaetes posted:Yeah this is blue balls incarnate. They tried to revive the show with a bunch of backers but Adult Swim firmly denied it. I really wanted to see how it all turned out It's largely Small's fault. Adult Swim can't really play the opera because it can't be broken up into episodic chunks. He wanted to do that to wrap up the show as well. Adult Swim isn't going to pay out to him or sign off on him dicking around and making another show they can't air. Also, there's some IP issues between the two parties so Small wiped his hands of the entire thing 2 or 3 years ago.

I did not think ATHF was ever funny. It seemed to consist of nothing but monkeycheese "random" humor. Also, I could never understand a loving word that the meatball guy said. Of course, I seem to dislike everything that's popular so there might just be something wrong with me.  I remember when VB came out, I watched it preparing to absolutely hate it because of how much I disliked everything else in the adult swim block, and it actually took me a while to be won over.

I consider Home Movies to be very nearly the perfect show. Yet I could never get into Metalocalypse no matter how hard I tried to see the Small connection.

ATHF got a movie in theaters before obama was elected, metalocalypse surely would have been able to pull similar numbers if they made the opera into a movie back when the show was hot
