The Bottom Line
There's an old "Doonesbury" joke where a ghost writer charges extra for literary merit, adjectives, metaphors, stuff like that. Sure, "Home Movies" wasn't concieved for Adult Swim, but the second season holds up as the most accessable show they've got. In a good
way, "Home Movies" is still really weird, funny and random. But, somehow, "Home Movies" also manages to have literary merit, character development and plot, things in short supply on "Space Ghost" or "Brak" (which I love.)

Guide Review - "Home Movies" Season Two DVD
"Home Movies" has a heart as big as a whale, and a withering whit that could kill said whale. Brendan and the gang hold up quite well in their second season. Sure, it seems like some of the plots are a
little by the numbers, but they always throw in a drunken bender from McGirk or a corpse to make it all right. Give this show a chance and it will make you love it.
The DVDs are nice, each in their own slim package, with funny menus, commentary and some extras.
