Personally I love the soundtrack for it's ..don't know if that's the right word since it's a cartoon, authenticity. Like when people argue, they (as real folks do) all talk at the same time. When there's a fight - it sounds like a someone is shooting at monkeys with a machine gun. Add some background music and you get something that is close to impossible to comprehend for a foreigner.
What show am I talking about ? It's the one and only ... Venture Bros!
Any fans here ?

Yes sir. I love it. I'm still waiting for the next season. When are they supposed to be coming out with season 5? I hear practically no news about it at all.

They are the best so far.

I guess that'll do, but I'm not confident at all. I put off quitting that show for a few years before doing it.

No idea, but if they kill this show I'll find them. And they will suffer!
As for southpark - the last 2 seasons have been surprisingly good. The show was getting boring but then I think they realized they're not moving forward and .. well, they started moving forward

There's better shows out there if you don't like it.

Damn where have I been? I'm hooked...

I've gotten hooked on Spaced, with Simon Pegg. I saw the recommendation in the archives of the film recommendation thread and had to check it out. It was hard to find but I got it... Nice and quirky, the way I like it. I like Brian's character a good bit, too.

"Brian? No, he's the weirdo downstairs....
Oh hey, yeah, Brian come on up"

Haha

Excellent. I'm always happy to see someone else get into Spaced. I haven't watched it for a while now actually but I was just talking about the Star Wars stuff the other day, where he gets fired from the comic book shop for shouting at a kid who wanted a Jar Jar doll.

"But Jar Jar makes the Ewoks look like fucking Shaft!"

I may have to watch my DVDs again now.
