Okay, if you've read any of my reviews of Adult Swim cartoons in the past year, you probably know I'm not a big fan of excessive gore. Don't get me wrong; I like some occasional blood and guts. I think
South Park usually has the right amount of gore, though
"Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina" and
"Hell on Earth 2006" was a bit too much for me. So why do all the Adult Swim shows have to be so graphically violent and gross? How about more clever and witty shows that depend less on the gross-out factor, like the now departed
Harvey Birdman or
Home Movies? Some of the newcomers went down easily, like
Lucy, Daughter of the Devil. But other shows, like
Frisky Dingo,
Metalocalypse and the one-off
Drinky Crow Show have just way too much blood and guts for my taste. I know you young guys like that stuff, but you're not the only ones up at night watching.
