Anyone catch this show (or shows)? Man was it was funny! Same subtle yet sophisticated humor as on Spaceghost. Sealab 2021 (“the black Debbie?”), The Brak Show, and Harvey Birdman Attorney. I can’t believe HB approved that. For those that didn’t see it, Harvey Birdman was a cheesey old 60s superhero show (like Spaceghost). Here he’s a schister lawyer representing Dr. Quest in a custody battle with Race Bannon over Johnny & Hagi. And yes, they clearly portray the Dr. & Race as ‘long time companions’. ---

When is it on? I looked on the Cartoon Network website and I can’t find anything about it. I’m truly pissed that I missed the premieres. ---

My 87 year old grandma was in the room but I couldn’t help busting out in giggle fits. That was hilarious. Especially the Sealab one. Fall on the ground funny, _csg_ Hopefully they will see that yes you can air adult cartoons and get away with it, then maybe they’ll finally air some uncut old looney tunes. ---

What do you mean? The last I’ve read, those shows weren’t supposed to premire until Sept. 24th. They’re on already?? ---

I think I’ve discovered something people have known for years: Brak is insane. And that’s a good thing. ---

And may I say that **THIS** time, “The Brak Show” was about a billion zillion whillion jillion hillion times better than that previous abomination they called “The Brak Show”. (Alan Wrench? Bleah!)
