Regular sized Rudy might be the funniest thing i've seen in a long time.

 

[Lord British]

No, because that wasn't the series finale. The production's are always further ahead. So we'll have how ever many they have left sometime next year, or they could save it if something new flops and they need to fill a timeslot.

Ah, but will they air the remaining episodes? :/

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Ah, but will they air the remaining episodes? :/

Most likely. Often there's language in their contract that they have to air all the episodes, but they often do shady things like airing them opposite the opening of the olympics, or world series or some garbage. Hopefully not the case here.

I finally caught up on American Dad, and I have to say I was surprised with how moved I was by the Lost in Space episode. I can't say I've ever thought that way about AD, but the sequence with the Wax Fang song really tugged at my heart strings. I see some here are comparing it to a Futurama episode, which is definitely apt because of the Sci-Fi element, but I think that also applies to the quality of storytelling in that episode as well. I think it is definitely up there with the best Futurama has had to offer.

[Bardiche]

Late reply, but I plan on watching it. You should create a thread for it, so there is more exposure.

Here is their youtube channel, if you guys want to check it out.

I plan on watching, but I'm still perplexed as to why they wanted to make an Adult Swim rip off when all the shows that don't fail will end up getting imported to AS anyway. (I kind of feel like this is part of why toonami even got the ok to stay on all night saturday though)

They could have gone a really different route with the pilots and differentiated themselves.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So, did anyone watch "Axe Cop"?

I only caught the last 15 minutes or so, but it was channeling some old "The Tick" for me at least.

Hope to see more!

The Tick was so so much better. Both of these new shows are the type of crap I would expect on Adult Swim at 3am.

 

[DominoKid]

Axe Cop was stupid as hell. will watch again.

 

[Tamanon]

Axe Cop was just silly. I'll give it another shot, but it's definitely Adult Swimmy.

High School USA sucked.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Axe Cop was stupid as hell. will watch again.

Haha, totally. I love its quick pace as well. Also agree with the other posters, High School USA doesn't have a chance.

 

[Dead Prince]

axe cop was meh. will die quicker than napoleon dynamite.

 

[Order]

Both shows sucked. Especially High School USA

 

[Brinbe]

Everything about Axe Cop is too adorable too hate, but HS USA was godawful

 

[Chris R]

Axe Cop made me turn into Fox on Sunday, something that normally doesn't happen until the NFL is back. Thought it was great.

 

[metsallica]

Wait, ADHD premiered? Totally missed it... Streaming anywhere?

Yep, I was flipping channels when I saw it. Can't wait to see more.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Didn't care for either shows, Axe Cop was okay but felt the jokes were off. Wish they could get the guy who made Duckman and J. G. Quintel (Regular Show) to make a series for them. So will this continue on Saturdays nights with just these shows? Don't see ADHD succeeding if that's the case. They need a two hour line up to really compete agaisn't Adult Swim. Heck get Duckman on ADHD.

Cartoon Hangover a Youtube channel that's experimenting with online cartoons have put out really good stuff (besides superf*ckers), their Ace Discovery pilot was far better than both Axe Cop and High School USA.

[friskykillface]

Axe cop was decent, lol Liborg B^)


High school USA was just awful

 

[TimmiT]

I feel like the Axe Cop adaptation could have been done better. As awesome as Nick Offerman is in Parks & Rec, he's not a good voice actor. The animation is also really stiff.

 

[Akahige]

what the hell was that, fucking terrible

Family Guy Previews

Ehh, Megs funeral was probably the funniest bit in there.

American Dad Previews

This on the other hand was pretty strong throughout.

The part where Steve falls out of Francine's cooter fully clothed killed me. Had to go back a couple of times.

Spoilers obviously.

 

[metsallica]

Both were unmitigated disasters, but I'm not going to completely write them or the block off on a couple of (what I presume to be) pilots. The fact that High School USA! comes from Dino Stamatopoulos (MORAL OREL) is utterly shocking... And Axe Cop, which I had high hopes for, really only works in extremely tiny doses. Once you get over the "cuteness" behind its creation there's nothing left. Also, I love that Nick Offerman was recorded with a tin can on a string, what the heck was up with his audio?

Guess there was a reason AS let Nick Weidenfeld get away.

 

[BuckRobotron]

Caught up with Axe Cop on Hulu...weak. At least it lasted only 11 or so minutes iirc.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Another good Cartoon Hangover pilot 'Rocket Dog' that was better than Axe Cop and HS USA.

[Bardiche]

Axe Cop has the potential to establish a niche fan base.

Although High School USA! was bad, I'm still going to continue to watch it to see how it turns out. Hopefully, it gets better.

I missed Axe Cop? Aw.

No excitement for Axe Cop or High School USA!?

Now that the previews have aired, Animation Domination officially launches tonight.
There will be two episodes of Axe Cop and two episodes of High School USA! tonight, each episode being 15 minutes. They will play the episodes alternately, so scheduling is

Axe Cop (15 mins) - HSUSA! (15 mins) - Axe Cop (15 mins) - HSUSA! (15 minutes)

I'm surprised to see that the episodes are 15 minutes. I've always had the impression that they would each be half an hour, but I guess they'll be playing two episodes of Axe Cop and two episodes of High School USA!, totaling to four episodes tonight. Hopefully High School USA! gets better, the preview episode was really underwhelming.

Poo joke, poo joke, jump scare, vomit joke, fish poo fetish joke, another jump scare, dead dad joke, dead squirrel.

That's just the first 4 minutes. I love the show but lately it's been falling, leave the bodily fluid humour to the Family Guy

not really

 

[Sadsic]

axe cop was good but not noteworthy really like, like c tier adult swim show

high school usa was like... wtf was that even

 

[Bardiche]

I may be in the minority here, but I feel like High School USA! is getting better with each episode. I hope the show doesn't get cancelled.

 

[Klyka]

I fucking love Axe Cop

 

[DJ88]

Axe cop has made me laugh pretty hard. The over the top childishness of the situations and dialogue just get me for some reason, and the voice acting is great too.

 

[Lord British]

I'm liking it but I hope it picks up a little soon.
