Adult Swim Brings You Dr. Streve Brule and It's Fantastic

After seeing Rick and Morty, I thought it would be a good idea to scan Adult Swim's current programming to see if there's anything else that needs watching. As you might imagine with such a long list, there's a few shows that made the cut. One of the shows in question is Check It Out! With Dr. Steve Brule. This freshly minted hilarity features John C. Reilly in his strangest acting performance yet.

The premise of the show is an eccentric doctor introducing the audience to everything from church to the invention of pleasure. Brule, with his implausible hair and bizarre facial expressions makes this show stand out head and shoulders above a lot of other programming. If you're a fan of weird comedy, this show's for you.

Comment with your favorite Steve Brule moment.

Rick and Morty or The Next Great Show to Come from Adult Swim

Some of you may have heard of Rick and Morty, but for those of you who haven't, it's the latest thing to come from Dan Harmon's warped mind. Harmon is also the creator of Community (R.I.P.).  R&M is a very strange show, but it has the potential to be as good as Archer. The premise is a hyper-intelligent grandfather has insane adventures on alien worlds and in other dimensions with his endearingly dim-witted 14-year-old grandson named Morty. Not unlike Venture Bros., it's difficult to convey the spirit of the show with a few sentences. So here's a pretty genius clip of Rick and Morty warping through different dimensions all involving chairs, phones, people, and pizza.

If you want to be the first of your friends to get into the next great TV series and help ensure Dan Harmon doesn't have another great project end before its time (sheds a tear); start watching Rick and Morty. 

Start watching Venture Bros. because the world needs more TV like it

If you haven't heard of Venture Bros. shame on you, but you're not alone. It's an excellent show with new episodes every other year airing on Adult Swim. VBs is incredibly weird, funny and complicated. The premise is a story of a family living in a world full of heroes, super scientists, villains, and boy adventurers. Where Venture Bros. succeeds is making all of these characters real people. They have anxiety, problems remembering lines, acne issues, and they fail A LOT. Trying to organize it all are two groups: the OSI or Office of Secret Intelligence and the Guild of Calamitous Intent. There is plenty of infighting and a plethora of varied rivalries. I can't really explain it better than that. It's best just to watch.

The show takes a little getting into, and that, along with its insane production schedule and terrible time slot; has led to bad ratings. Cartoon Network has been close to canceling it several times, but they have a well-known soft spot for weirdness, so Venture Bros. has stayed on the air. However, that can't last forever.

I say we need it because, even with the ton of outstanding TV airing now, there's not enough strange out there. If everything becomes a gritty drama or smart comedy, that will stifle innovation. We want what many are calling the "golden age of TV" to continue right? If your answer is yes, watch this awesome summary the Venture Bros. producers cooked up last year and see if you're not hooked.
