I'm happy ATHF is getting renewed, as that was easily my favorite show on the comedy block. I hope the new eps are better than the ones shown in December, as those were horrible. Hooray for Venture Bros as well. I'm wondering if this is just a partial announcement, because if it isn't, it looks like a lot of shows are getting the axe due to their absence from the announcement (The Boondocks, Stroker and Hoop, Perfect Hair Forever, etc)

I thought Boondocks was a big AS hit?

Looking forward to Death Clock, the new Brendon Small project.

Robot Chicken- Pretty crummy show but it seems cheap and easy to make so whatever.
Tom Goes to the Mayor- Fucking awful. I mean seriously, who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
Venture Bros- This is the best show ever. I can't fucking wait for the DVDs.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force- I started watching from episode 40 or so. Real hit or miss but again, it's really cheap and easy to make an episode.
12oz Mouse- Another shitty show. I remember watching this with my brother and flipping the fuck out. We forsook our god right there and then.
Squidbillies- I actually like this. I have no idea why.
Harvey Birdman- Pretty lame but I like the concept so I usually sit through them.

The Boondocks, Stroker and Hoop, Perfect Hair Forever- Perfect Hair and Stroker are mondo bad (Hair, moreso. I mean what the fuck?). Boondocks is pure shit too but I don't think it should get canned. Then again, fuck Aaron McGruder.

I hate to admit that I laugh at this show, but I do.

IBTN.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force- I started watching from episode 40 or so. Real hit or miss but again, it's really cheap and easy to make an episode.

So, basically, you've missed 99% of the good episodes. You really should see the first DVD volume sometime - at least half of the must-watch episodes were on that volume.

Harvey Birdman- Pretty lame but I like the concept so I usually sit through them.

I really disliked the show at first, but it really grew on me. Funny show.

This is all that matters.

Assy McGee sounds so awesome, I have high hopes for it.

I'm surprised Tom Goes to the Mayor got renewed, because I was absolutely certain I was the only person who liked it. Good to hear though.
I can't wait for the new season of Venture Bros. It is the funniest show they've got going for them right now.

You can't be trusted. You like Squidbillies.
