From http://www.angusoblong.net/theoblongs.html

"Beth is a fearless, adorable 4 year old who is Hello-Kitty-cute with an enormous, grotesque, wart covered, growth protruding from her head. It is not a penis."


" 13 episodes of “The Oblongs” were made. Premiering in April of 2001, lasting for one (1.) season. The producers working on the show softened Oblong’s vision, making “The Oblongs” merely another lukewarm, prime time comedy about a family who does nothing all that unusual, then hugs at the end of every episode. “Gross.” Says Oblong."
Very interesting

They showed another show a little later in the Adult Swim line-up called Mission Hill. I thought it was pretty good

Mission Hill is probably my favorite AS show. That show is myself and my brother when we were that age to the letter. The only problem is there aren't many episodes.

There were more scripts produced though, some of which are quite funny. The "Real World" episode is spot-on perfect, and is probably my favorite one after the one where Jim gives Andy his health insurance card.

Good call...looks like Home Movies is getting bumped to second worst show ever.

Says you.

Oh, did anyone here in the commentary that there's going to be a spin-off of Aqua Teens? Next year Space Kataz: Mooninites vs Plutonians premieres. Or so they said (it was hard to tell if they were serious, I should watch it again).

[Green]

btw, I liked the concept behind the Mooninites. Roughly, it's based on the myth of the 1 million ET Atari carts burried in the Mexican desert. Supposedly the Aqua Teen house is built on a mound of crappy old Atari games, and the Mooninites are the ghosts of one of those games. Then again, why would they come from space? Also, the Aqua Teens first appeared on an episode of Space Ghost. I've seen that episode, but it was after Aqua Teen Hunger Force had aired, so I thought it was a parody of them. Guess not.

Home Movies fucking rocks. You must be insane.

I thought that the whole ET buried in a landfill thing was actually true?

[Green]

I've never heard it being disproved or unproved, I've always heard it as an urban legend or whatever. And yeah, I really like Home Movies. It's a peculiar type of humour the show goes for, though.

Green, thanks for that insight into the commentaries, can't wait to get the ATHF DVD set. I believe the origins of the ATHF came from the creators of the characters wanting to have them originate on SG C2C, but not being able to, so they got their own show, and made the SG C2C show after it to show the progress made from the original character designs. Some of this came from what was said during VH1's "Prime Time Cartoons" hour-long special, which showed some ATHF voice actors doing stuff, and footage from an SG C2C table read.
