Cartoons

I thought I wrote about this already, but apparently not. There is this hilarious cartoon on cable called O’Grady that I came across one evening while channel surfing. I highly recommend you check it out. It’s on “The N” which is what they call the Noggin network after 5 pm. It’s all preschool shows during the day and then teenage stuff in the evening. And yes, I do watch it because I like Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It’s cute and campy and I love it. Joe groans whenever I put it on, but I don’t care. I especially love Salem, the talking cat. Did you know that the guy who did his voice also produces King of Queens, the CBS sitcom? Well now you do.

Getting back to O’Grady … I can’t pick my favorite character because they are all so funny. O’Grady is the name of the town these kids live in where strange things happen almost every day. These things are referred to as “the weirdness”. One day it’s people generating clones, the next it’s street sings coming to life. There’s only a few episodes that keep rotating, but I’m hoping for some new ones come next year.

In the meantime, I’ve started watching some Adult Swim shows on the Cartoon Network. They are all very odd, yet entertaining. The first one I watched was Aqua Teen Hunger Force. A guy at work was telling me about it, but it’s always on while I’m asleep, and I would forget to record it. Then I found out that the cable company has On-Demand programming and an entire section of just Adult Swim shows. The other night I also watched a cartoon called Home Movies. It was tripping me out because the voices sounded like the characters from O’Grady, and after checking The Internet Movie Database, I found out I was right. I have an ear for that kind of stuff.

So what adult-geared cartoons do you watch? I’m always looking for more because I am sick of all the reality tv out there.
