I was just wondering if anyone has seen Cartoon Networks new "adults only" block? I don't get it (poor little Brit me), but Harvey Birdman: Attourney sounds good (especially if he's going to be Scooby and Shaggy's attourney for their drug-possession case). And new Space Ghost is always going to be good, although I heard someone say that the only difference is that he now says "damn", which confuses me, as Lokar said "crap" a couple of times in the original run, and Zorak called SG a "Bloody Imperlialist fool" too.
So, er, any thoughts?

I heard it's shite. I was interested in watching for "Cowboy Bebop," but in the first episode, they completely removed a drug-induced killing frenzy. That's like 5 minutes of footage right there which totally ruined the layout & plot.

Uh, I don't know about you, but I certainly saw a drug induced slaughter. How could you miss it? *L* (Yeah, they obviously cut out a lot of the details & potential gore, but this IS American TV after all...)
The block is.. eh.. OK. Not spectacular, but not complete crap.

What was the best thing on it? I've heard lots of people slagging off Home Movies (of course, these people also fail to see the pun-tastic genius that is Sheep, so they're obviously mad).

Home Movies is.... comical, but not in the ha-ha-funny way... more in the subtle "heh" way...
The modernization/adaptation of the 70s-era style shows range from horrid to bizarre in a funny way... Off beat.
Space Ghost has gotten even more out there in its latest incarnation...

More out there than most of the male cast telling Space Ghost that they think they're pregnent (to soap opera style music)?
Actually, the beginning of that episode is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Not many shows can fit in "A Stolen Treasure Map", "The Clock is ticking, Mr President", "I need 50ccs of antedopamine, stat!", "I'm Moltar", "No, I'M Moltar", "A Stolen Treasure Map", and some shots of a car chase in the first 30 seconds of an episode.
