Hoo boy, have you read them? People think the Connery Bond movies were sexist and racist. They were exemplars of progressiveness compared to what Fleming actually wrote.

And AI. AI is big now. Damn, Mission Impossible beat us to that one!”

The “James Bond is a codename” theory only holds up of your viewing of the series ends the moment Lazenby quips “this never happened to the other fella.” Literally in the same movie, he’s shown reminiscing over events from the Connery movies. Diamonds Are Forever opens with Connery out for vengeance over Tracy Bond’s

“Broccoli says the next film will have to change Bond in a way to reflect the way the world has changed in the many years since Casino Royale”

That’s what the Craig era was supposed to be: back to basics Bond. Honestly, I don’t think I’d mind if they went in the opposite direction and leaned into the campiness of it all. The world’s a flaming shitshow right now--give us pocket hang gliders, secret underwater bases, and plots to nuke Mount Everest. Drown us

The franchise will change to reflect modern times, but that’s all anyone knows

Cable-only series aimed at an older demographic gains viewers when it migrates to an over-the-air network?

Finally they are fixing the courier times. Those missions were annoying as hell. “You need to go to this spot that is 6 KM and you have 1 minute to do it”.

Awesome that they’re rebalancing the courier timers. Most are fine, but sometimes they don’t correspond to any of the routes you take.

Ding ding ding. This is the winner right here. Always follow the money. Rich people don’t offer to pay more out of the goodness of their hearts. 

Everyone is saying that Venture Brothers should be #1, but I’m actually going to argue that Home Movies should bump just one spot higher. It’s just so quintissentially Adult Swim in my head - a failed product from another network that they adopted and let flourish. It fundamentally altered my taste in humor from

This whole list is Brak erasure! I can just about accept that his show didn’t make the cut, and ‘Cartoon Planet’ could I GUESS dismissed as a re-conceptualized ‘Space Ghost’, but you’re not gonna even give him a shout out in the ‘Space Ghost’ section?

Mission Hill was originally on the WB, but like many other shows like Futurama or Family Guy, it got a new life in re-runs on the block.

I graduated high school in ‘01 and college in ‘05, mention of those earlier Adult Swim shows such as Space Ghost and Sea Lab really hit at a special place in my memories. They were weird in a way that didn’t feel like they were trying too hard, and I spent a lot of late nights watching them at the time. I also recall

I’m not a metalhead or anything but Metalocalypse’s music, characters, and over-arcing plot are pretty great and it’s espisodically pretty fun. You should definitely check it out.

Venture Bros is by far my favorite thing Adult Swim has done - just incredible quality all-around with great animation, stories, voice-acting, and humor. Glad it got a proper sendoff with the special that came out a few months back.

hot take: tim and eric shouldn’t even be on this list.

The Venture Bros should be number 1.

Also no NTSF:SD:SUV?

Not saying the Venture Bros should be #1 necessarily, but it is my favorite of the ones listed.

Came to make sure The Venture Bros. was at the number one spot. It’s not. I’m leaving. Loved a lot of these shows though.
