Two other really good Adult Swim cartoons are Hot Streets and Tigtone. Hot Streets follows Officers Branksy (JD Ryznar) and French (Scott Chernoff) who work for the titular Hot Streets bureau which deals with weird cases. In S1 Hot Streets was run by Su Park (played by Ming-Na) while in S2 it is headed by John Wayne Jet Wayne Jr (a tiny talking airplane played by Ernie Hudson.) Also joining Bransky and French on their cases is Bransky's niece Jen (Chelsea Kane) and her dog Chubbie Webers (Justin Roiland.) Tigtone has a weird animation style but it is still extremely funny. Basically Tigtone is what happens if a videogame player actually inhabited a fantasy world. Tigtone is only interested in doing quests and getting rewards from said quests. Also Tigtone always chooses the worst possible outcome for every event, like when sky pirates start attacking the kingdom stealing all their wine Tigtone solves the problem by turning them all into vampires so instead of wine they drink blood.

There was a really great episode of Mike Tyson Mysteries last season where they finally explained what was going on with the opening of the show.

The best part of the Tigtone pilot is that it was 5 years between the pilot being made and the show starting. Which means that yes, Tigtone was totally allowed to use his power to command animals again.

A little bit after it got canceled Dino posted an unproduced script for an episode. The idea was that Orel and his friends would end up visiting a prison and there's a whole subplot about how society was perfectly okay with a woman marrying a convicted rapist currently serving time but not okay with a woman marrying someone of the same sex.

So they didn't come right out and say it but I'm pretty sure in the second episode of last night's Mike Tyson's Mysteries the pizza place the mobster loved was just Dominos.

One good thing about HBO Max is that if you're already paying for HBO separately through HBO Now you get it for free.

I haven't watched the full season yet but so far the only episode of Close Enough that I thought was hurt by the editing was the stress one. It feels kind of choppy and stuff happens that you don't see, like Josh and co driving a different car or how when they flee the ham place all of a sudden Candace is just with them again.

You're supposed to laugh and then feel bad that you laughed at a song about slavery or a character saying "A doctor's sacred mission is to do everything in his power to avoid losing his job."

drrockso20 posted:From what I heard they threw a hissy fit when they found out the proposed budget for Season 3 was going to be like several times what they were getting for their show and they threatened to walk if Adult Swim went forward with it They were barely starting on Adult Swim around then so I'm not sure what weight they had to throw around.

Data Graham posted:It's the goofball wordplay subversion stuff that I have a weakness for. My favorite is definitely the wordplay of the sword that cuts nothing. Also head's up, Adult Swim has a free pdf Tigtone themed pen and paper module role playing module.

S2 of Tigtone continues to be completely hilarious. Especially the second episode this week "Tigtone and the Demon Maze" where Tigtone is placed in a maze where he is not allowed to kill anyone.

Something I've been wondering about season 2. In the premiere KingQueen said that Prince Lavender was secretly the son of Amothedeus but I'm wondering if he isn't actually the son of Lord Festus. Mainly because when his powers manifested he didn't get the traditional beard and robes (like Tigtone did when he became a wizard) but instead wears something similar to Lord Festus' clothes.

Dog Kisser posted:Central Park is a full musical that is extremely different from Bob's Burgers (but still really good). The Great North hasn't actually started yet, they just put out the first episode. Said episode mostly focuses on the daughter character but it isn't clear if she is supposed to actually be the "main" character or if it will be more of an ensemble.

Netflix recently released an animated Pacific Rim show, Pacific Rim: The Black. It takes place some time after the second movie and follows two teenagers trying to survive in an Australia that has been abandoned to the Kaiju. I thought it was okay, although it really doesn't feel like this was a complete season/part and the cut off point is just what they had done at this time.

mrbotus posted:What's this a reference to? The second Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe has the main characters discover that the android from their ship has been kicking around from the 1980s to the literal end of time and during that period he was spent quite a bit of it parking space cars.

Classy Devil posted:It's utterly bewildering at times, and I actually paused a few minutes in to episode five to check if Netflix had somehow skipped a few episodes because I felt like I had missed a ton of events. Lol, I did the exact same thing because I was sure it had somehow skipped episode 5. But yeah there are scenes where you're supposed to feel bad when characters die but you also don't really get to spend any time with those characters so who cares?

Electric Phantasm posted:Are the Adventure Time specials something I can just jump into? I fell off the last few seasons and never bothered going back and watching them. Yeah, they're pretty much all disconnected from any of the main story stuff. I think the only things that reference the story are that Finn has a robot arm and PB and Marcy are back together.

limp_cheese posted:Steve Dildarian was the creator of The Life and Times of Tim, one of the funniest shows ever made that no one watched. Even though it aired for 3 seasons on HBO its not on HBOMax so your best bet is to find episodes on YouTube. Good news, they just added this to HBO Max.
