I like a lot of the CN network cartoons, I particularly liked Juniper Lee I thought it was a great show.

However, I find Sunday Night on Adult Swim the worst show linup. It is the only night I do not even channel surf past CN.

Drawn Together

Say what you want about Sarah Silverman, but at least she can bring out a laugh. This show here is just terrible. Being beaten over the head over and over again with terrible pop references, dismal jokes, annoying voice acting and a generic animation style that doesn't even make it fun to watch. I'd rather watch a 8 hour marathon of Carlos Mencia and MADtv than this for its 22 minute runtime.

Some say it's the most offensive show they've ever seen. Which is all well and good if the show actually attempted to be funny. I mean it's on Comedy Central, but its tries for laughs are about as ineffective as Stephen Hawking attempting to walk.

This stays on three seasons while Stella is taken off the air? There is no justice in television.

I disagree with virtually everything you just said, considering I never had a problem with Mencia or MAD TV. And certainly not Drawn Together because I love that show no matter how offensive it is.

I find it to be the most offensive I have ever seen and that is exactly why I watch it. It's a hell of a lot funnier then Metalacolypse which despite a few funny moments, relies on exploding jaws has so many times to be funny..but doesn't.

I wouldn't say its an awful show but the humor is so few and scarcely placed.

I have no problem with offensive humor. But it has to be funny. Something that I don't even believe the show is capable of. It seems to be one of those shock humor shows. And not a good one at that.

To monitech, it's good to know that someone else misses Juniper Lee. The show was pulled off the air just as it was really hitting its stride.

Some people find that "freakshow" comedy central made funny, I sure as hell didn't. Humor is relative to the viewer, which is one of the reasons its hard to rank anything on this thread considering humor is quite a hard thing to judge.

Some people don't find Monty Python to be funny at all and I think there some of the most brilliant comedians ever. Another show i really didn't care for: Lilo and Stitch the series. I tried to enjoy this show, I REALLY did try to like it.

But it was just too mentally degrading. The morality lessons suffocate the show, the escaped alien experiments have pretty stupid, unoriginal nicknames, and the villains are a whiny hamster alien and the actually dangerous bad guy is reduced with such brilliant insults as "dumb, dumb head".

Not to mention the only time things really got interesting in the show was when they crossover Lilo with Kim Possible, Proud Family, and American Dragon and any show that needs THAT many crossovers can't be doing well ratings wise. I only watched the KP one because I'm a die hard KP fan for life.

Deal or No Deal? The New Zealand version.

I've seen it once and just hated it, trying to take a real good Australian gameshow and turn it around, making it real bad.
I mean, they show the banker for starters, a whole pushing the button thing, and a real bad host.

The Australian version is way better, especially with Andrew hosting it (Can't remember his last name)

Everything. Sorry, Vin but I hate everything anime. Plus the theme song is gay. (Not as gay as Pokemon's but still pretty horrible)

Anything on Adult Swim besides Futurama, Family Guy, ATHF & Robot Chicken is crap.

No offense, Invader Bloo, but you may want to be careful how you use the term "gay".

And you think The Venture Brothers is crap? Have to say, I have to disagree wholeheartedly on that statement.....

oh come now, "Victor. Echo. November" and "Assassinanny 911" are classic. Don't dis the Venture Brothers until you've seen those episodes.

I personally think that Famiy Guy's kind of cruddy. Same with Robot Chicken. I like SOUTH PARK better! LOL
