I dunno....I've seen you use spaces before...and if you are missing a space bar or whatever, why don't you buy a new one? I think I speak for a few people when I say the dashes-are-getting-annoying.

No kidding.
But anyway, John-Paul, "Clerks" would be a good show to come to Adult Swim.

How come noone's mentioned Spawn?

Because it would have to be severly edited to run on CN. That, and the subject matter is a bit too...dark, I guess is the word. I mean c'mon, it was a great show, but do you think CN is going to let a show about a guy who was resurrected by Satan run any time of the day?

They could air it at midnight or at 1am during Adult Swim Action. Give it a TV-MA rating. Give it its own custom disclaimer. Anything! I just wanna see it on TV again! I was only able to catch one friggin' episode when it was on! My older brother taped the series but he took it with him when he went to college! I just wanna see the rest. :(

Van-pires!!!

What the hell have you been smoking man?? (I want some)

That show was a Power rangers/VR Troopers rip off at best.

I've got a few episodes of SPAWN on tape. I agree it would rule on AS but it's incredibly doubtful cause of the heavy sexual content (Topless women and I'm pretty sure women without underwear as well)

Then let Spawn have the pleasure of being the first American series to get the digital bikini treatment. Unless the nudity's integral to the plot...

Don't get me wrong, I realize that all of these shows were doomed from the outset (cept Aeon Flux which did alright), mainly for not getting Simpsons-caliber ratings, and didn't deserve their first cancellations. None the less though, I don't want to see any more network rejects popping up on Adult Swim. Home Movies is great, Baby Blues is....uh....there, but that's where I draw the line. Adult Swim just needs more exclusive, home-brewed shows- and not just random Williams Street stuff.

Bob-and-Margeret: PLEASE NO
Clerks: Sure :)
Internet-Slutts: Whats this?
Aeon Flux: This was kinda boring.....
Dilbert: I love the Dilbert Series :)

The following I don't know of...
Committed
Internet-Slutts
Gary & Mike
George and Martha
Sammy
Van-pires
Super Adventure Team
Rex the Runt
Roughnecks: Starship Troopers

Also I believe that the classic Ren & Stimpy may just do a good touch to the Adult Swim, though it would be all too weird.

i agree that ren and stimpy would be good for AS, since all the networks butcher the show. if nickelodeon didnt own it, it would be good on AS, with all the bad stuff the creator had hoped for.

ugh... what are all of you thinking?
Ren and Stimpy??? NO IT'S DONE PEOPLE LET IT GO!!! that and beavis and butthead. Let em go folks. They would NOT fit on AS.
Gary and mike- NO. wallace and gromit was a huge success in england. And was made by masters at there art, gary and mike on the other hand, was turned down by up f'n n. that really is saying something.
Van-pires and Super Adventure team sound like kid shows. I suppose that doesn't mean much but still.
Wasn't there a starship troopers cartoon on fox? then that's definitly too kiddie.
Bob and margeret- NO. Unless they show the nudity like comedy central. That might allow cartoon network to reach a new point.... oh who am i kidding...
Clerks.... eh. i never saw it. only heard the good comments. it doesn't seem like something worth bringing to AS to me.
Ok to wrap it up. i haven't heard of any of those other ones listed here. But the only one that i think deserves even a little consideration is dilbert. That seems like it would fit very well on AS sunday comedy nights. But more important than anything is that we get original non WS shows. and soon.

Maybe if I say it for the 14th hundred time, maybe Williams Street will listen- Bring back O Canada!

O canada didnt really catch me when i was flipping channels but beavis and butthead is a classic we would all bve different without it and i say if it was brought back it would help AS.

i think adult swim should just have original programming sealab, space ghost, athf, ect.


i love home movies, but they ruined it when they made new episodes without squigglevision.

Here's a few suggestions:

The Maxx
The Head
Daria
God, The Devil, and Bob
Mr. Hell Show
Invader Zim

No no no to clerks. I love Kevin Smith and the movie Clerks, but the cartoon is complete garbage. i bought the DVD and its over the top and basically pulls a 180 on the movie. Complete garbage.

Daria and Invader Zim are near impossible. And those two are perfect canidates for Adult Swim.

I would like to see Dexter's Rude Removal on AS -- if they had to, they could bleep really bad stuff out.

If it wasn't for all the editing and the controversial problems they would have, I'd say Spawn. I LOVE SPAWN!!!

Also, Clerks would be good.

thats interesting. But -spc2c +home movies, these episodes seem a little bland, but they still have the home movies touch.

Well Daria is basically over, as much as I love it and all. And considering how nutsy our friends at MTV are with rights, I highly doubt anything will come of it except maybe them sitting on it and never showing it again while they show umpteejillionth reruns of The Real World.
