For me it’s Home Movies
Frisky Dingo was great, sort of a spiritual precursor to Archer but with superheroes instead of super-spies.
I will always cry during the end of Home Movies when Brandon drops his camera and it breaks.
Home Movies had to die so that Metalocalypse could be born
“Too Many Cooks” is slept on
Is it just me or am I not seeing Moral Orel - was that not an adult swim original?
It wasn’t underrated it was just unliked
I thought it was fantastic but to each his own, I guess
Correct. To each their own. I just found it off and not funny overall
IMDb and rotten tomatoes and your dislike seem to indicate this is an underrated gem from adult swim.

Hmm I didn’t think this was an Adult Swim show, so I looked it up. It was originally a canceled CW series that Adult Swim got the unaired episodes of. Either way, I liked it a lot.
Yeah never heard of this one. I’ll check it out
It’s decent, I downloaded and watched it again recently. Cake did the theme song. Art is fairly simple and unique. Sucks it only had 1 season, I loved it, especially the real world episode.
I really appreciate Three Busy Debras. Might just be that it matches my humor style perfectly but my gosh does it make me laugh.

I was JUST trying to remember this one earlier to show my kid lol. Mortimer!!
Sealab 2021
I used to run a fansite about Sealab 2021, back on the Old Web.
It was a good time and I made some long-term friends through it. It was a great community.
I will never forget Martian Law and doppelgangers.
I bought a Cameo from Eric Estrada a while back for a buddy that I used to watch Sealab 2021 with. Estrada was shocked in his message that he had Sealab fans reaching out for his time, but he’s kind of a mailbox-head.
Estrada came to my mall reopening in like 2011, my buddy and I were the only dudes in line and we brought our Sealab DVDs for him to sign. “ His comment was “Oh, Sealab…that was a trip”
I don’t know if it’s underrated, I don’t actually know anything about Adult Swim, but Childrens Hospital was hilarious
Truly cruel that we didn’t get a full series of this!!!
Yes! Sick twisted hilarious work of art, and they left it wide open for so much more to happen 😆
Ergo Proxy
China, IL is one of my all time favorites
Tragic that it never got a full season. One of the best.
I’ll loan you five of my strongest men. Plus two or three of the weakest ones can come along, just for fun.
No Ugly Americans??? WTF people that shit was cancelled way to soon and it was hilarious.
Also Mike Tyson Mysteries was amazing! RIP Norm.
Well for one Ugly Americans was never on Adult Swim. It was a Comedy Central show.
Mike Tyson Mysteries is definitely a forgotten gem though.
O shit you’re right, it’s been so long since it went off the air. My brain remembered it as adult swim.
Oh there’s some gems:

Joe Pera Talks With You
-
Space Dandy
I’m hyped for Haha, You Clowns but I suspect it won’t be as well received as I hope it will be. Joe Cappa’s YouTube channel has been a staple for me for a long time.
Also, just a note but Home Movies wasn’t actually Adult Swim original programming, it was originally on UPN which quickly cancelled it and then Cartoon Network picked it up. I love Home Movies because I love hearing Sam Seder of The Majority Report voicing Fenton Mewly.
Also if you enjoyed Home Movies, you should check out it’s spiritual predecessor from Comedy Central: Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. First season of Home Movies even used the same “Squigglevision” animation style as Dr. Katz.
the song The Freezer Aisle from Joe Pera Talks With You is an unlikely ethereal banger
I have all three seasons soundtracks, because they’re all so good.
Joe Pera is my favorite out of all of them, honestly. I wanted to get him to sign my copy of his bathroom book “A Bathroom Book Not For People Pooping pr Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape” when I saw his standup show but the crowd was too big and I gave up.
Joe Bennett, the creator of Scavenger’s Reign on HBO and Common Side Effects on Adult Swim did the art for Joe Pera’s bathroom book, which is how I first found his art.
