Wow, I'm surprised that Adult Swim is kicking the ass out of Leno, Letterman, etc. And happy.

I'm also happy that AS is starting up new projects while working on their current shows, instead of just sticking to their current shows. That Tom goes to the Mayor sounds pretty funny, as does the Starsky and Hutch parody, and I'm looking forward to the Seth Green project. Seth Green's pretty funny, and I've always been a fan of stop-motion stuff. As for Squidbillies... I dunno. They showed concept art one night, but I'm a bit weary about it. I just hope it isn't all just cliched hick jokes.

I'm also glad that AS is once again gonna be on Saturday night! They're pretty much with the first format, with Action Saturdays, comedy Sundays, and Miscellaneous Weekdays. If they could boot out those godawful Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, then all would be well.

As for the anime... there isn't much new. Case Closed(known as Detective Conan in Japan; the name was changed here for copyright reasons) and Wolf's Rain sound pretty cool. But, I guess it's good they're keeping all of their old anime.

So... yeah. I sure did type a lot.

The Seth Green Project looks best to me. I can always go for some stop motion. Not sure what to think of the other stuff.
