i never got cartoon network back where i live, but i wacthed a bunch over at my friends house. There are tons of shows that i have never heard of, and they are a riot. Assy McGee, Squidbillies, 12 oz Mouse ect. but they are all about 5-10 mins long.....why?? are they just testing these shows out to see if they do any good or something? all of those shows are extremely wierd and funny, but ive never heard of ANY of them....whats going on with this will someone explain?

These are cartoons intended specifically for adults and they all run 15 minutes. Why they don't make them longer, I don't know. My personal favorites are Metalocalypse, Squidbillies, and Morel Orel. If you want to watch more, check out adultswim.com (http://adultswim.com). They post each weeks episodes online for free. Also, if you've seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force and like it, they have like two DVD sets out. Hope that helped you out some.

I would imagine that the length is so short because of
A. Material. The jokes have to be kept shorter,otherwise you end up with unfunny filler. and
B. Budgets. most are independant, and you dont really get huge budgets for shows that run after 11pm.

I LOVE aqua teen hunger force. I have all the episodes and I watch them all the time, 15 minutes is the perfect amount of time for an episode. :)

I absolutly loathe Squidbillies. Most of the shows arent bad, but Squidbilies and Tom Goes to Mayor really rub me the wrong way.

Because I got a lot of new movies and had to make some new shelf space, that's why Space Ghost is mixed in with Aqua Teen...
After I quit smoking when I'd get mad I used to organize my movies or go buy new movies. They were in such good order then.

I've seen Chasing Amy multiple times, but not since I bought it (it was hard not to just lump it with the other Criterions too). I loved the whole Judge Rhinehold and the the NBA Allstar Jury.
