Yeah, thanks fella. I got that point. What I'm saying is it was stupid. It wasn't funny. I know that's the whole idea behind that episode. I'm just saying it was a waste of time and they shouldn't get praised for coming up with crap like that. No matter if it was the "point" of the episode or not. I'm not going to go out and write a book where everything is backwards and then tell people it's clever because that's "the point" of the book. Everything else to do with the show is golden though.

Because you fell for the episode's trap, they should'nt get praised. Uh-Huh.

As long as you love the series, I guess minor nitpicks are avoidable

I could understand if it was actually clever, but it just seems like they decided "Let's not write anymore and just piss everyone off." After the initial viewing the episode is pretty much un-watchable, which is sad, because the rest of the episodes stand up to some pretty heavy repeat viewing. I can't be the only one who thinks "Beat Kids" is one of the most entertaining bits on TV.

I saw a few episodes of this one, and I LOVED it, man! I Loved it. Ironically, I saw it only last year, and only because for some strange reason MA got free broadcast MTV2 on broadcast channle 24, before they threw the network into infomercial hell.


hell, I sat throught that mind destroying fat guy Andy Milakaka or whatever his name is just to watch.

I need to get the DVD... too bad I'm broke ass poor at the moment.

yes exactly stuff like that! but I'm mostly talking about jim's older stuff like thos really messed up commercials he did for wilkins coffee and the meat comercials and the la choy dragon comercial you can find them all on www.youtube.com and it also reminds me of his saterday night live stuff as well....jim henson was not afraid to do adult based show also...I mean buy the first seen of the muppet show or watch the muppet movie and you will see tuns of sexual jokes and the like. I hate when Jim's work was dissmissed as just for kids!

From what I have seen some of it is funny, but like those Adult Swim shows, it's far and few apart. They got rid of all the AS shows I liked, such as Brak Show, Sea Lab*Which stopped being funny after season 1 in my opinion*, and Space Ghost.

That's funny you mention that being as how your the first person so mention Adult Swim

Quote:
is FAR superior to crap like Robot Chicken, and living proof that Adult Swim is'nt the end-all, be-all to see shows similar to Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab, Milk Chan etc, etc...
I was simply playing off that because I agree with you there. AS shows have declined in quality over the years.

That being said, AS have teased at picking up Wonder Showzen in their bumpers (the "Air _______ please" segments), so maybe this will be fine. WS needs to be on that block

It was inevitable. The show is an aquired taste to the extreme. Anyone and everyone I ever showed Wonder Showzen to has not only called it the dumbest thing they've ever seen, but called me sick for liking it. I'm surprised it even got a second season actually.

So were the producers, they admitted they tried to get it cancelled themselves, which explained the reasons "Paitence" existed, not to mention the last two episodes of the series were gimmicked

The Andy Milonakis Show actually has some really great and clever skits. There's a ton of stupid crap, but a lot of it is pretty amusing. I'd pick it over Wonder Showzen anyday.
