lol i dont remember that show, but by far Squidbillies is the worse in my opinion, the voice acting is horrible, and the story lines arent well thought out. They should just flush it down the toliet and put another ATHF show up
thats not really saying much

yeah those shows are the fuckn worst...but squidbillies is funny and just plain fuckin weird at the same time.
they do try and sneak in some political shit every now and then, like there was an episode where, folks were being called to heaven, and everyone went BUT the preacher.who was talking all that shit about heaven and being saved..
but truth is that one pilot of black dynamite was better than every episode of squidbillies.
btw
do you live in the south and like monster trucks?
if you do, then you wont get the humour.

you gotta be kidding me? there is nothing funny about it. okay maybe the accents and redneck stereotypes, but after while it gets old, because its so poorly written
Robot Chicken? Man everybody loves Robot Chicken.
I've watched it a few times the drawing is bad but the damn dialog and plots are crazy as hell sometimes.

Nope, not kidding. I caught it by accident trying to record something else and I got hooked. It can get extra weird at times and there were a few times where they went too far and the joke lost some steam but that happens to every show.
Because it's hilarious too.
No I think Super Jail is the worst.
Im just mad Frisky Dingo ever got canceled.

I actually run into dudes who talk like that
so yes it is funny to me
, only thing AS is doing wrong is making those live action shows, they need to stop that shit.

i hate super jail
, weird as fuck
I hate squibbillies. 
Squidbillies is funny; Adult Swim's live action stuff is garbage. They need to show anime during the week
A producer I know over at Cartoon Network says they are scaling back majorly on animated projects and doing more "live-action" projects in the future due to cost and time it takes to produce animated shows.
The reason why shows like squidbillies got greenlit in the first place is because of there low production values (there's very little animation in most of their shows) it keeps the cost down.
While shows like the Boondocks and Venture Bros. Cost millions to produce and are very costly for the network to buy episodes from the producers, it's just better business to line-up cheaper shows to fill slots. Robot Chicken is only 15 minutes in order to keep cost down.
WHAT!!! Squidbillies is a great show and im sorry but dialog is not meant for every show, some shows are just meant to be complete nonsense and they do a great job at that. Early Cuyler is up there with Randy Marsh imo and Granny is funny too, so im sorry but there are far worse shows on AS that you could point out.
Super Jail
That renegade angel show

Thanks for the inside info - I figured they were doing it for financial reasons. But the writing is horrible for all of those shows. They had Futurama and lost that deal, messed up their relation with the Frisky Dingo cat that he went to FX with Archer instead and they lost some of their anime to other channels (Samurai Champloo, etc). There are so many shows that can be on the channel that they will lose in the end if they keep this up. Yes, those shows that you mentioned may cost millions, but they bring in the ratings and merchandising dollars.

Squidbillies and Metalocalypse are my favorite shows on AS right now.
SB I used to hate but it grew on me like ATHF did way back when. Metalocalypse for the characters, violence and music.

Superjail was brilliant...
WTF all the hate for Superjail? I like that shit. The animation is unique, real trippy and the writing is 10 times better than squids. 
Not as much as you'd think. Remember the business model is pretty much the same for any business - buy low, sell high. If your budget is say 2 million for a 9 episodes of a show and the shows ratings are good, not great, it's going to be hard for you to regain the initial 2 million you put in. You used to say that aftermarket sales "DVD boxsets" would garner money but the original producer of whichever animation is asking for a portion of those sales as well. Merchandizing can be really weak as well when you talk about shows that didn't have a HUGE following...(they did well) but not enough to make huge sales in merchandise. It's kind of like the music industry. We buy your show, we show the show and make money through advertising, if your show doesn't do well we don't make money. So in order to guarantee sales, we produce lower budget prodjects ala "williams street" and we can recoup our initial investment.
Since I've been putting in work on my own show, I've been really learning the "behind the scenes" of how some of these networks work. Also there is a lot of politics at play when you try to pitch...certain networks are more receptive to your property vs. others. Right now due to so much free content it's getting harder and harder to use the old business model in television...
I hate that Robot chicken bullshit
Good info. They have decent ratings, even good, ratings for their timeslots but none of them can be considered "ratings monsters" Whatever people may think of "Children's Hospital", a network can bang out season after season of that kind of show on time instead of the sometimes very long lag time like experienced with shows like "The Boondocks".
and bringing in some more anime would be even cheaper, anything but these live action shows.
Squidbillies is sub-sophomoric to the point of ridiculous hilarity, at times. I never watch it, because it's so stupid, but I often hear it in the back ground. Some of the shit they say catches me off guard and makes me laugh. For example, I heard the dad squid call some female and ask her if she got his voice mail, she said "no." Then he said "that's because I didn't call you, you fucking whore!" Shit was funny.
The worse adult swim show has to be Tim and Eric Awesome show--which borders on faggotry. After that it would have to be Assy Mghee, dude was just a bare ass and legs. Then Xavier Renegade Angel. And last would have to be 12 ounce mouse. I don't understand any of shows.
