Mission Hill

[kaze950]

It's wiki page doesn't say anything about Brendon Small.

It says:

Created by
Aaron Springer
Genndy Tartakovsky


It seems like it was picked up as a series, and suddenly forgotten.

As of Comic Con 2006 the show was scheduled to release sometime in spring of 2007. However, as of December 29th, 2007, the only mention of the show on the Adult Swim website is an intro graphic with the words "you couldn't handle more than one anyway."

oh really? I thought for sure that Small had worked on it. Tartakovsky was probably too damn busy.

How does this keep happening to me?  I think about something I like and then BAM, there's a post on here about it...


Anyway, Mission Hill is great!  At first I wasn't sure what to think, but as I kept watching, I started to like it more and more.  Kind of like Home Movies...  god, I love home movies...

MH is alright I suppose. i've never lol'd at it, or even smiled vaguely, but the brightly-colored art style and story are mildly amusing in an offhand way. i think it's because i find most of its character archetypes fairly annoying, even though the characters themselves aren't terribly annoying (outside of the kid brother).

oblongs is a piece of shit, i never understand why people love that so much. the style is cool enough, but it tries SO FUCKING HARD to be funny when 99% of all jokes fall totally flat so i really lost all patience for it. plus there're only like 13 episodes so i don't know why AS keeps fucking running them over and over.

venture bros. is my current favorite on there, followed by metalocalypse. i wanted to see the concert when they got to st. petersburg but i think i was too late for tickets or it was on a work night or something. but yeah the writing for those is totally solid. even the episodes that aren't like LOLfunny are still very amusing.

i love the fucking shit out of boondocks but they never fucking produce those shits. the same can be said for V.B. but we're in the middle of a new season of that right now so. i swear to god my uncle is granpa freeman -- it's like they videotaped his life and then animated it. (yes, one of my uncles is black, he's an uncle by marriage)

athf is hit-or-miss, but i still like it. i even saw the movie in theatres.

the first two seasons of robot chicken nearly made me piss my pants, but this latest season has been rather corny.

tim & eric ... holy shit i watch this but god damn it it's so fucking strange. it's usually funny in a very absurd, "wtf????" sort of way, but occasionally skits make me literally LOL, such as that poopchute commercial or the thing for a child clown rental service.

assy mcgee, i loved the pilot in that i thought it was a joke. when it turned out to be not-a-joke, i lost interest. squidbillies is rather painful, but since i have a few rednecks in the family, some things are a little funny in a spiteful way.

saul of the molemen was actually rather entertaining, as was that brit thing about a dude in a hospital, but fat guy stuck in internet drags.

home movies is cute and entertaining, the characters are developed pretty well, so it's easy to follow.

anyone remember Korgoth the Barbarian? holy fucking shit i loved that pilot so much. i wish they would produce that over that piece of shit SuperJail.

Vennie, I agree with you on Mission Hill.  It was guilty of being simply nothing outstanding.  It was an average well produced show that depended on a lot of stock characterizations. 

I forgot about Boondocks.  Very well made and though I disagree with the creators politics in general find it nonetheless provocative and thoughtful as well as funny and entertaining.  Oblongs on the other hand ughhh.  Seriously, it is preachy socialist trash that would've been something ran on Moscow TV during the cold war.  Not very funny, utterly cliche, and thoughtlessly dogmatic. 

Assey Mcgee.  The pilot was funny, because of the lol wtfuckness.  But seriously enough of the joke guys.  No one wants to watch an ass stick guns and bottles into itself.  Though Assy may actually be an improvement over Stroker and Hoop.

Korgoth I wanted to see more of.  I hope it wasn't a choice between that and assy.

Funny, I didn't really care/notice the socialist overtones. And if anything, I'm anti-socialism.

I did like Will Ferrel's voice work, though.

 

[Dopples]

Korgoth was amazing, I'll never understand how it never took off. Maybe they thought the pilot was too good, and they couldn't live up to it, I dunno. But I'd easily trade in Assy McGee or Family Guy for it.

stroker and hoop was awesome. i didn't even know the creators went on to create assy

 

[Venetia]

you know i always halfway wanted to like stroker and hoop, since i used to love all those corny 80's shows like miami vice and the a-team and nightrider and all that, but ... I don't know. It was always a swing and a miss for me :/

The two things assy mcgee has going for it are the Scion commercials and that scene where he had a baby kill a priest.

NO HAGGLES! NO HASSLES! NO BULLSHIT!
