DVD sets I do have are 3 volumes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the whole Cowboy Bebop series. Aqua Teen is hilarious. Yes! Count me in with the growing list of "closet" Aqua Teen fans amongst us. Man, what a great show. Definitely not for everyone, but genuinely funny in its own bizarre way. -------------------- "He said no, Er. . . with his foot." Announcer: "Oh, no! Somebody's going to get an email. What's a better, more acceptable solution? *gun goes off, rainbow comes out of nun's head* That's right! A happy and colorful rainbow! Although not nearly as funny, it's guaranteed not to offend the black people." Voice: "NO! UNACCEPTABLE! Announcer: "Did I say black? I meant to say. . . minorities??" Voice: "ACCEPTABLE!" "Oh. . . boy, I apologize. My hormones are goin' nuts. Now, please... if you would. . . get the (bleep) outta my way. I mean, how many times I gotta (bleepin)in' write "ice cream" on this (bleep)in' list before someone gets in (bleep)in' gear, and brings home the (bleep)in' ice cream? Maybe I should get a steak knife, and etch it in your mutha(bleep)in' forehead! How hard can it (bleep)in' be? Ice mutha(bleep)in' cream! I guess that's the price I pay for livin' with two (bleep)in' morons!" "That is very, extremely, true." *Carl's Air Guitar Solo* ;D "I find that this is highly affiligent and edumacatiamous for my brain, because. . . I am smart, boy." *The Entire 'Broodwich' Episode* "Oh. . . three gallons. . . the poor children." "Oh, the fart it is, farter! Fart all y'all, y'all go fart yourselves." "Yeah, I bet you do a number. . . in your tights. . . on broadway. . . which is where ya moved to after ya left Texas Chainsaw Mascara. . . 'cause that's where you're from!" "For your information, it's still tied up in the courts cause I don't have photographs of things like this thing you're doing here with my butt. What're you doing? . . . Stop doing it." Sayonara!

Since TV is pretty much Chinese around here I do not watch much of it. The occasional football game (Champions League is on in 10 minutes, here it's 3:40a.m. and yes, I have absolutely nothing else to do). As they come out on DVD here:
Simpsons South Park (excellent stuff) Dark Angel (got it, haven't watched it) Enterprise (on avi files)
Other than that mostly Manga's. They also sell Pretender, Alias, 24, Seinfeld, and perhaps a couple of others I can't remember now, but i never know what's good. Suggestions are appreciated.

Mwahah! I just watched that episode day before last.
Shake: "Don't chain me down with your... manners."
Romulox: "Only two people in the world have the Easy-Flo elbow, and one happens to be Bruce... Willis."
Tree: "Oh, so now I'm the court stenographer."
Shake: "Those aren't how F-bombs are dropped!!!"
Ignignokt: "Mooninites duplicate, reunite, and unihilate."
Carl: "I forgot. I live next to a third world hellhole."
Shake: "If I woke up looking like that I would just go to the nearest living thing and kill it."
Shake in Psycho Cloned TV: "I'm in your house."*
*One of the most freaking disturbing moments I have ever seen on anything.
And, of course..
Deep within the womb of time, a creature thus be born The seed of life is united with the egg of tyranny
Gestates forth from within the womb of life for three-quarter and nigh a year The creature thus be born! The creature thus be formed!
And ye of years....
[Your current age + bells] Will chime!
When the heavens open up and drink from the silver cup The creature thus be born!
And blow the magic horn!
To alert the spirit deep within the cycle of life. The creature has begun it's journey deep forlorn, upon this day which he be formed
In the sea of mucus the spirit rides down from the mountain and unites with the creature in the womb A holy union, dark mortality, until the dark mortality breaks the chain of life The creature thus be born
And every year raineth down the celebratory tears A celebration of the years from mere mortal sky

Seriously, what have we begun? We have opened the mighty floodgates and unleashed a torrent of liquid quotage the likes of which I haven't seen since Brendan and I went off on that Ghostbusters tangent back in London (Seriously, Brendan, can you just end one of your promotional CDs with 30 seconds of silence and then you, outta nowhere, suddenly screaming -- "And in the 6th Century, he came as a GIANT SLOR!!!"?). ;D
But, so long as we're at it, I forgot about this doozy from Carl . . .
Carl (on the death of Shake): Oh Fry ~ Oh jeez, man ~ you know, I am SO sorry . . . that I can't press charges here."
Btw, a cookie to whoever can tell me just HOW Shake killed himself (it's a laundry list of gross metric funnage, believe me).
[glow=red,2,300]As to what 'I' watch . . .[/glow]
As Jens and Jocko can probably tell you, something like 75% of all I watch is anime that I download off the net or catch on Adult Swim (Which, besides the TV-Tokyo imports, also has stuff I like -- such as Family Guy, Futurama, ATHF, Sealab, Home Movies). I also like British comedies (Python, Adder, Red Dwarf, etc.)
And why the search overseas, you ask? Well . . .
Note to prospective immigrants: American Programming blows -- it's all this Reality TV bulls***! Simpsons has lost its charm, and King of the Hill is getting old. What little I do watch IN-country is divided up between TLC, History Channel, Discovery Channel (particularly Mythbusters), and Comedy Central (South Park, Insomniac, Daily Show), CNN, and (of all things) Food Network. Now that the FCC has cracked down (thank you Janet "Frontal-lobe Malfunction" Jackson), Network TV can't even give me a spoon full of sex to make the mediocre medicine go down. Seriously, how is it that Fox can sell an episode of Family Guy (replete with exposed buttocks) to Cartoon Network, and then when they buy the exact same episode back 4 years later, they have to pixelate out said backside?
More to the point -- why is it they have to edit the blood out of Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist on CN? It's fricken' cable for cryin' out loud! What am I PAYING FOR!?
This is why I go to DVD or Bittorent, damn you!
Okay, I'm done. . . I took a breathe. Phew . . .
Rant ended.

I watch a lot Reality TV Shows: The Simple Life, Survivor, The Next American Model, American Idol, Wifeswap, Amish in the City, The Real World, Trading Spouses, The Biggest Loser, The Apprentice, The Swan. Am I forgeting any?... I also love to watch a lot of great news reporting shows, with excellent intellectual debate, like Hannity and Colmes, The O Rielly Factor, Scarborough Country, Unfiltered with Tucker Carlson, and the big Story. Man, I see why it's so difficult for me to regulary watch any shows on TV now. The only shows (excluding re-runs) that I Regularly watch are Real Time with Bill Maher and a couple of PBS shows... Robin Williams had me crying out loud, when I was watching the last episode of Real Time and the shots of Sen. Biden tryng to control his laughter was hilarious... -CG

I'd like to add "Robot Chicken", "Medium" and "Clone High" (not on air anymore) to my list.
TV keeps surprising me.

Yay! Robot Chicken! The only show that finally had the gonads to put Vin Diesel, David Hasselhoff, The Dukes of Hazard, and Mario, Wario, and Luigi in a Death Race . . . to the DEATH! Clone High was fun too . . . "Abe!""Abe's my slave name, square! You don't understand us, you and this stinkin' town -- I wish I could die ... YOUR Barbecue Chicken's VERY DRY!!!"Best lyrics about smoking raisins EVER. [glow=red,2,300]PLJ[/glow]
