With the passing of C. Martin Croker, Adult Swim has dusted off a lot of the old episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. They can be found here:

This was a staple for me back in high school/early college days. It's absurd, ridiculous, and hilarious. It set the tone for Adult Swim. Enjoy.

As a 32 year old, I still watch Adult Swim. It was a lot better back in the early to mid 2000's with Aqua Teen, Sealab 2021 (favorite show ever on Adult Swim), Harvey Birdman, Futurama/Family Guy reruns. There is still some good stuff on the channel like Squidbillies, Tim and Eric stuff

Sealab 2021 was absolutely brilliant. I can't imagine Archer existing without that as an influence.

This episode still cracks me up.

I loved Aquateen and Sealab2021. Wasn't Sealab originally supposed to be a serious show but went off the rails or was it a parody of a previous show?

I believe Sealab 2020 was a serious show back in the 60s or 70s, wasn't it? EDIT - yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealab_2020

It's basically a reboot, like they did with Johnny Quest. But soooo much better.

I loved Space Ghost and all of that. Aquateen was amazing until the movie, then it went heavily downhill.

If you haven't seen an episode of Rick and Morty yet, check them out. It is the best show on the channel right now. Made by the creator of Community.

As much as Dan Harmon seems like sort of a turd, he makes some excellent shows.

HAHA, at 46, this is a staple in my life. Other than sports, it's almost the only TV I watch at all.

As others have posted, it's not quite as good as it used to be, but Rick and Morty is right up there with some of the greatest of all time.

I find myself dying at Dr. Steve Brule. It is so dumb, but so so funny.

This is the best reason to hang at CF. If I said Space Ghost to anyone I know in real life I would just get a blank look and a "WTF ya talkin' about, man" in response.

And, (topic shift) because of your avatar @Entropy , did you know Doctor Strangelove is in selected theaters tonight a as part of a TCM channel thingy? Nearest to CR is Sycamore 12 Theatre in IC.

Peak adult swim was either 12 ounce mouse or Tom Goes to the Mayor.



Tom or Tim & Eric, absolutely.

Although, the Tim & Eric movie traumatized me.

Oh man. I have other things going on tonight or I would be all over that. That would be amazing to see on the big screen.
