Anyone catch this on Cartoon Network this weekend? I remember seeing what I guess was the pilot a while back and thought it was side-splittingly funny. A tongue-in-cheek homage/parody of the Johnny Quest brand of adventure cartoons I remember from when I was younger.
Saturday’s episode wasn’t quite as funny, but it did have a few genuinely laugh out loud moments like the robot’s new paint job and the chupacabra in Brock’s car. Definitely getting a season pass for this one on my DVR to see if it stays good.
From what I’m led to understand it’s some of the folks from the old “The Tick” cartoon. Minus Ben Edlund, who is now firmly part of the Joss Whedon universe.
I saw the first episode of this about a year ago. It seemed to fall too heavily in the over-used “pregnant pause” humor that seems to be the basis of every Adult Swim show, but I’d be willing to give it another chance.
Really? That gives me some hope for the show. I read on Warren Ellis’ blog he’s headed out to Vancouver to visit the set. It’d be cool if the show comes together.
