cartoons are the only things worth watching. sure beats wasting your life staring at another law and order clone.

south park, king of the hill, aquateen hungerforce, venture brothers, family guy, etc. these shows represent the only original thinking i see on television.

Unfortunately, this is an indictment of the nature of tv, not any redeeming quality at all about the specified cartoons. They suck.

I recorded a "June Bugs" weekend from Cartoon Network. Part of the commercial lineup is a clip from some stupid show called "Adult Swim". Boy in his underwear threatening his brother that he's going to call their mom and tattle because the other boy accidentally set fire tosomething or other. Dials the phone and the other panics and grabs the phone only to here a dial tone while the first one chuckles and says "You're just lucky I don't know her number right now."

All that this did was to show every kid watching that they should be pricks to their siblings. And with it run SCORES/HUNDREDS of times during every commerical break that weekend, it did FAR more damage than smokin Tom which might be shown once or twice a year.

No. You'll never convince me that current cartoons have ANY redeeming or entertainment value. They're just empty-headed pap.
