Oh my god! A CARTOON has lost credibility! They'd have Suicide Booths only if George W. Bush found a way to get a 3rd term.

Yes, remove the two best shows on the lineup so faggots can watch their lame ass over-aired mainstream humor bullshit like Family Guy.

well the first episode was 10 years ago, and it is a science fiction sitcom. so maybe 10 years ago they thought a suicide booth would exist

Oh wait, for anybody who cares, I just Google News-ed this and Comedy Central is skipping "Bender's Game" to air "Into The Wild Green Yonder" on April 26th.

I don't mind, Bender's Game was the worst of the bunch.

how does almost no one "get" stuff like tim and eric and look around you and whatnot. i honestly didnt think there was really anything to get but apparently there is. unless all you retards are just dismissing it even though you havent given it a chance

Seasons 1-3: pretty good
Seasons 4+: gay 2/10

either way fuck that show they show 2 eps every day so they show the whole series like 5 times a year. i've seen every single ep a shitload of times, just like when they used to show futurama. if they stopped showing family guy that'd be great, but it'll never happen cuz they need to keep their 12 yr old viewers that like laughing @ 80s references they dont get on fg and robot chicken

Sabotage, screw off.
What's your deal with King of the Hill anyway?
I have my opinion, you have yours.
Don't think I'll suddenly love King of the FREAKING Hill just because you say you love it and made a sad attempt at insulting me.
And how dare you, using your own kind of people in an insult?

Anyone that continues to view this thread...
Have you noticed that it's turned into nothing but an all out war?
Maybe this should stop before crazy sh*t starts happening.

It's a good thing it ended early.

Even though the show's good for a whole lot of giggles and the occasional LMAO, series that carry on too long tend to become uninspired.

ehhh its just cuz all you pseudo-fans are all the same. you dont know shit about shows, you don't give them a chance, but you say you hate them. then you go bitch for more family guy and anime and make the heads of [as] fag up the lineup.

everyone dismisses king of the hill as a boring old people show when it just has more subtle humor, they dismiss tim and eric as stupid randomness because they dont understand the parodies of public access and all the other things they satire. and none of you people ever could comprehend the avant garde Xavier renegade angel. ya'll n*ggaz is gay B-)

For all of you complaining about Adult Swim's line up...
It's almost all made by total stoners, and they assume that you're a stoner if you're watching it. I'm not, but I still like it.

Now to derail your thread a wee bit, what we SHOULD be discussing is Xena Warrior Princess. That needs to be back in production, now.

Lucy Lawless is actually hotter now than she was back then, I've noticed.

I don't get why people say "The first few seasons were funny, the new seasons are not", when the show has always been the same in terms of humour.

All you get are "Remember the time when-" and 80's pop culture/80's movies/80's celebrities jokes.

The first 3 seasons are by and large a very different show. It's a lot tamer and the humor is understandably more 90's; a decade of internet humor and adult-swim type stuff really pushed the whole non sequitur thing forward and drastically changed what you have to do to be edgy and borderline offensive. Also the episodes tended to have more classic sitcom plots with happy endings and family morals, whereas now the closest you'll get to that is... I don't know, if you trust O.J. he'll murder someone?


I'm your average Afro-American fetus. For example: I enjoy basketball, I'm rather good when I play too, but I'm much too busy scratching my horrific cracked skin these days.

WHEN DID XENA EVEN EXIST?!
NO ONE IN THE 21st CENTURY KNOWS OF THAT SHOW.
PERIOD.

It's funny you should say that, jokingly or not. But when I had quit watching Adult Swim, they pretty much HAD removed ATHF, they barely showed it at all. They'd literally moved it to like, once a week or something.
