Have you seen the hilarious promo for tonight's episode of Regular Show? Everyone is taking turns slurping a slushie to get a brain freeze. Even Pops gets in on the act; that would be a ginormous headache for a ginormous head. See what else is on Cartoon Network tonight.

Adventure Time at 7:30 p.m. ET - In "The Suitor," Peppermint Butler thinks Princess Bubblegum is spending too much time in her lab and decides she needs a suitor.

Regular Show at 8:00 p.m. ET - In "Cool Cubed," the guys need to unfreeze Thomas' brain after he chugs a slushy.

MAD (pictured above) at 8:30 p.m. ET - In "G.I.E.I. Joe/ Dog with a Captain's Log," the G.I. Joes recruit some help from the farm. Then, the Starship Enterprise has a hairy new crew member. Plus Alfred E. Neuman and "Spy vs. Spy."

Annoying Orange Season 2 Tonight

Thursday May 16, 2013

Annoying Orange

Cartoon Network's nails-on-a-chalkboard hit cartoon, Annoying Orange, is ready to kick-off a second season of antics tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET. During its first season, Annoying Orange averaged close to two million viewers for all of its premiere episodes. Now Orange, his popular produce pals, and Nerville, the proprietor of a fruit stand (played by Toby Turner), are back with new episodes and a slate of featured guest voices including Dave Grohl, Kylie Minogue, Kellan Lutz, Olivia Munn, Rainn Wilson, Al Yankovic, Gilbert Gottfried, David Cross, Jack McBrayer, Carl Edwards, Maria Menounos and Kendall Jenner.

In "Little Foodie Cutie," Orange convinces Midget Apple to enter a beauty pageant. Though the abrasive voices are difficult to get past, Annoying Orange skewered a few high-profile personalities, including Honey Boo Boo, and American Idol judges, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. The third judge, something made of bean sprouts, sounded an awful lot like Gilbert Gottfried trying on a British accent.

I usually avoid this cartoon, but I have to say it was more clever than I expected. My favorite bit was the shots of the "peanut gallery." If you look quickly, Lincoln is in the back row. Funny enough, but then later, he explodes into pennies. A history lesson for the kids!

The first season of The High Fructose Adventure of Annoying Orange is also coming to DVD on May 28.

Sexy Cartoon Characters on TV

Sunday May 12, 2013

Six from Tripping the RiftA majority of cartoons are targeted for the kiddie generation, featuring children as lead characters or talking animals. But late-night cartoons and anime are geared toward an adult audience, who most likely enjoy some sexy eye candy before bedtime. Adult Swim, Comedy Central and FX are networks who have allowed grown-up cartoons to flourish.
