I just saw this ep last night. Frylock had been using it to make new TVs, but was worried that too many clonings would cause wierd shit to start happening, so refused to make any more. Of course, he stopped too late, and the last TV was evil and convinced Shake to start cloning dollar bills. And then Frylock decided “what the hell” and started cloning dollar bills, too. And then George Washington showed up and Frylock blew his head off with a shotgun.
You said it. (I’d seen the first one before, but never the second.) Definitely wouldn’t have stayed funny. Also, as usually happens on an animated show, the voice work also improved by a huge amount as time went on.
My Comcast Digital Cable has the first 3 eps. on Demand. They have an “Adult Swim” section under “Cutting Edge” or something like that. If you have on Demand, just poke around and perhaps you will have it too.
