12 Oz. Mouse To Be Revived

[ZariusTwo]

A few weeks after it's "final" episode aired, surreal David Lynch tribute series 12.Oz Mouse has been renewed for a new series of direct-to-Internet websiodes, with the first two seasons to be cut together as a feature length movie and released on DVD

In a world where it's become the "cool" thing to bash Cartoon Network or Adult Swim's products (and hey, sometimes it's deserved, but CN have been steadily recovering lately, only people have moved to the point of being unable to really see the present product and are too busy whining about what was cancelled or long ended), 12.Oz Mouse restored the old school mentality of what once dominated many of The William Street classics with it's surreal, darker-edged humour, absurd "animation" and impressionable rock music and characters

I love 12oz. Mouse. I remember watching it for the first time early in the morning with my girlfriend. We were jumping through channels when all of a sudden I came across the show. It just so happened to be the first episode too. I was dying of laughter, meanwhile my girlfriend was kind of scared and wondering what the hell I found so funny. Really terrific show, but it loses it's luster on repeat viewings.

It still holds up on repeat viewings with me, can't get enough of his first meeting with Eye.

"No, you can't do that"

I don't think it's cool bashing Cartoon Network, but I'm not a fan of the majority of their programming either.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, but that's the problem. Most of the time it's simply a catergorisation of the product's "bad" programming, bashing shows that deserve and don't deserve it equally, when it's more than obvious there's a blatant bias being displayed by those who were loyal to the old school series.
