JPTV: What I'm Watching Tonight
I liked The Boondocks when it first came out on Adult Swim; then time wore on, my TiVo backlog built up and the show went off the air, by my recollection, for 47 years. Season 2 starts tonight, and I'm curious to see whether its mix of anime, pop-culture parody and racial pissed-offness holds up. (Tonight's episode addresses, among other issues, movie piracy and lynching.) The episode's apparently also streaming online, which fact I would attempt to verify if my computer did not explode every time I tried to watch it. Speaking of which, I need to catch up on Lucy, Daughter of the Devil. Any Adult Swim fans in the audience?

I'm an AS fan but it usually takes an accidental Tivo recording to watch something new on it. I'm sold on Frisky Dingo though!

I am a huge AS fan. however, stick to mainly Robot Chicken and Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job! on the Tivo. I miss the old shows, especially Sealab 2021. all of it is absurdist fare, but damn is it funny.

AS has kind of slipped in my opinion recently. However I still feel that the Venture Bros. is consistently one of the funniest shows on television.

Agreed on Venture Brothers. I really like the whole line up and was a big fan of their earlier anime. It's been like 2 years since the first season of Boondocks hasn't it? That one about R. Kelly killed me.

I just don't get AS and most of the shows that are on it. Boondocks I like because, well, I like the Boondocks comic strip but as for the rest of it, eh. I guess you have to like a certain type of overly talky badly animated absurdist humor.
