Home Movies cracks me up. I can’t stay up late enough to see anything else anymore, but I love what I’ve seen of other shows. Coach: Have you ever thought about running away. Brendon: No Coach: Well, you should. You should definitely think about it. ---

Oh for the love of… Throw a ? on the end of that first Coach line, would you? Thanks. ---

We here often wonder if the Aqua Teen Hunger Force should meet Dr. Weird. After careful deliberation, the origional creators said “No”. Apparently the ATHF and Dr. Weird are to forever never know that the other exists. 😃 Hope that helps you out there lol.” ---

Cool! Thanks, Blackclaw! Tell your friend I love the show and recommend it to everyone I know who would get it–and those that won’t, for that matter. Keep up the good work! Aargh! My hair heater! ---

When I first saw ATHF I was a little put off mostly because I just can’t stand rap music. But the show is great. I’d say it’s the ‘edgiest’ of all the AS shows and therefore people seem to either love it or hate it. **Blackhawk:** Ask if Frylock is ever going to snap and finally kick Shake’s ass. And what the heck is Shake saying over and over in the closing theme? _"Can’t something something"?_\*\* Like I said, I hate rap. Isn’t ‘Harvey Birdman’ done by Robert Smiegel, the guy who did Abigiously Gay Duo? Baby Blues is pretty good, although it doesn’t really fit in with the rest. It’s very mainstream. I’m surprised its not on Comedy Central or Fox (when will they euthanize that godawful 'Family Guy" show?!) And what’s the deal with the credits on ‘Home Movies’? Why do they list ‘Brendon Small’ as a real person? Jon Benjamin does the voice of Brendon, it’s just pitch-shifted a bit. He also does Coach and Jason. ---

Baby Blues, like Home Movies, started on network TV. I can’t say which ones though. Maybe UPN and ABC respectively, probably wrong though. ---

Jon Benjamin does the voice of Brendon, it’s just pitch-shifted a bit. He also does Coach and Jason. \*\* Methinks you might be confused. The show was created by Brendon Small; Benjamin only does Jason and the Coach (he also did Mothmonsterman on ATHF, among other things). Many of the characters are voiced by “themselves” (sort of): Melissa is voiced by Melissa Galsky, Paula (Brendon’s mom) is voiced by Paula Poundstone, Mr. Lynch (Brendon’s teacher) is voiced by Ron Lynch, etc. And Brendon Small is voiced by…Brendon Small. See [here](http://epguides.com/HomeMovies/) for details, along with an episode guide. ---

The answer is “Yes!” But he wasn’t allowed to tell me in which episode. > [@](#): > > And what the heck is Shake saying over and over in the closing theme? Brian said he didn’t know either. (Apparently he just joined the team. He had been working on Invader Zim before). He’d check with the sound guys and get back to us. I told him he needs to just become one of us dopers. He said he’d check the site out this weekend. He’s a cool guy, he’d fit right in. ---

**Darwin’s Finch,** I stand corrected. It sure _sounds_ like him anyway… I remember on Dr. Katz that the cast all used their real (first anyway) names. Mothmonsterman was a classic! “Mothmonster- Oh no!” “Um he flew-” “Out the hole, I know! My banana!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/adult-swimmers-unite/101240.md?page=1)
