I suggest The Tribe

Watching Adult Swim and my big thought was: How the hell did these Loiter Squad kids get their own show? Seriously, in what world does that happen?

I think my interest in Adult Swim programming is severely curving away. I'm still panting after the new season of Venture Bros, I'd love some more Metalocalyse, and I'll probably never give up watching the American Guy (sic), but there's not much else on Adult Swim that I care about. All this live action crap is pretty much my limit and I can't take anymore. The only problem I have is finding another network full of late night adult cartoon shows. And there's where the problem starts.

Whatever happened to watchable TV?

Just because we have the Netflix technology, why does that mean 24-hour infomercials on a dozen channels, then nothing good on any of the other channels? It's infuriating, like all the networks decided to sell-out at one time. This is the perfect  opportunity for some network like TNT, USA, or WGN to start showing episodes of shows I would otherwise have nothing to do with, but that end up being super awesome. Think Xena, Hercules, Charmed, The Closer, and Rules of Engagement. Those were all shows that perked my late night interest straight into prime time, and it's time for another show.

And if some network is looking for a cool show to syndicate, might I suggest The Tribe? It's that dystopian future show about the world after every person over 16 died of a horrible plague, and the kids left alive have to figure out how to go on. They color their hair bright hues, paint their faces, form tribes, and go to war against each other. Plus there's the army of kids driving around on tanks taking over the world.

Jack was always my favorite on the show, but Lex was the kid with the real story behind him. He was a bully that had a backstory of casual abuse. He's vulnerable but hides it, which results in him coming across as a frightening jerk. He got power, then screwed everything up. He pretends he knows how to read when no one bothered to ever teach him; and in fact the other kids are kind of rude about it. And he knew how to wear leather, feathers, and a cowboy hat. Plus he was on for the entire run of the show.

"It was the least we could do." Nigel brought his wand out and with a
quick flick conjured a stuffed white rabbit that he wiggled in front
of Hadrian.

Draco wanted to point out that even though Hadrian was obviously a
brilliant baby, he was still just a few months old. It would be a
while yet before he would start caring about toys or anything else.
Draco bit his tongue instead and watched Nigel attempt to entertain
his grandson.( Read more... )
