It was a brilliant masterpiece that should go down in the annals of animated history as one of the best cartoons of all time. But fair warning, it is most assuredly not for the culturaly faint-of-heart. Especially if you're not a fan of the "N"-word (and I'm not talking "neocon here").
Hailed as one of the most consistently funny and intelligent comics ever, Fox missed the boat on this one. Picked up by Adult Swim , this will most likely be its newest and best hit ever (hey, I'm an Aquateen fan too, but c'mon, that show's about as smart as a sack of rusted hammers thrown into the bottom of the Marianas Trench). If you caught it, or at least read the strip from time to time, you can tell it was likely too racy for Fox and therefore right at home on Adult Swim .
There is a lot of racial humor, and like I said the "N"-word got threw around quite a bit (probably enough for some kind of TV record, but I digress), but it really goes waaaaay beyond that and appeals to a much broader audience because its not all just black people poking fun at financially well-off white people being stupid, arrogant and easily scared (allthough that is pretty funny, especially in the opening dream-sequence for the first episode).
I'm telling you. White guys and black guys both get together and watch this show. It's a thought-provoking laugh riot that stimulates the mind and crosses racial boundaries like nothing before in the history of television, in my honest opinion.
