Home Movies

The Coach is possibly my favorite character -- which is why the moth episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force is my favorite (he does the voice).

And as someone said up there, Sealab blows everything else away. That show was one of the reasons I upgraded from basic (i.e. broadcast + Weather Channel) cable.

They've been pretty brilliant lately, esp. last week's with the Coach McGuirk as lifeguard and insane headwound man/Brendan with ADD stuff. I also love the one where Brendan, Melissa, and Jason are split up for a weekend and communicate by walkie talkie, and it turns all Tarantino at the end (Melissa firebombs the Fairy Princess headquarters and they all escape to a flamenco guitar soundtrack and go out for drinks w/Coach McGuirk, genius!).

Oh and Baby Blues seemd pretty crap, just like every other 1/2 hour show that they stick after Home Movies and before Sealab (Sealab used to be the best thing going, but I think it's been pre-empted by Aqua Teen lately).

Paula Poundstone (pre-craziness)
Elaborate, please.

excerpt:
Poundstone lost custody of two foster children and three adopted children after she was charged in June 2001 with three felony counts of lewd conduct with a child.

She pleaded no contest on Sept. 12 to a felony charge of child endangerment and a misdemeanor count of injuring a child in a deal in which prosecutors dropped sex charges against her. Her lawyers have said the endangerment charge stemmed from Poundstone driving drunk with her children in the car.

By "craziness" I meant "crazy media whirlwind," not "Paula is insane."

Anyone else miss Dr. Katz?

H. Jon Benjamin and Coach McGuirk made this show

ha!

The revamped Science Court is obv the worst of all, granted, they revamped it for kids under 10 or whatever.

Home Movies was amazing.

I loved the Bye Bye Greasy episode.

the episode where Coach McGuirk does standup is pretty great too.

If I was gonna get a tattoo, I'd get a tattoo of Walter and Perry.

"I am an idiot."

I love this show but god that early squigglevision shit is painful to watch

def one of Adult Swim's best

The one where mcguirk goes to anger management class, then proceeds to get heckled by some dad at a soccer game

I loved the Bye Bye Greasy episode.

Just saw this one, this morning: Melissa's on-stage freakout about eating kiwi is adorable/hilarious. Pretty much all of her "dramatic" moments steal the show for me -- e.g. saving McGuirk from drowning and then banging him repeatedly in the chest shouting "breathe! breathe!"

I don't know how I never watched more of this -- I think it just made me miss Dr. Katz, so I'd avoid it -- but it's so terrific.

I've really come around on this show; it never ceases to crack me the fuck up.

(I think I prefer Metalacolypse though, even if I'm terrified by the idea of it expanding to half an hour.)

the episode where mcguirk starts collecting swords is maybe the funniest episode of anything

lol kind of want to start of home movies secondary characters poll just as an excuse to hunt down more fenton muley clips

just a truly fucking creative cartoon. the in-episode movies brendan comes up with are worth it alone...but as mentioned above, the dialogue is more realistic and off-kilter.

they never had to create real outlandish scenarios for comedy.

I find it funny that Fenton's voice went from deep to really high pitched over time.

I loved the Bye Bye Greasy episode.

Somehow I caught this episode last night too. Great kiwi moments. I think I liked the part with McGuirk singing in the car the best (I had real laughter). My little sister went to Harvard this summer on some high schooler invitation thing. She said one of the classes was being taught by the guy that did the voice of this guy on Home Movies - acting classes I think. She should of taken that class.

Will Le Bow? He was on Dr. Katz, too.

Stanley?

lol any episode that involved music in general ruled. the creators have more talent than should be allowed.

the wizard's baker, lol. kafka musical.

"time to pay the price" is just legendary in my mind... i chuckle just thinking about that final montage

Will Le Bow? He was on Dr. Katz, too. ― Jouster
Stanley? ― nabisco

yeah she should have took his class at harvard

DO not PUT them in THERE!
