Korgoth of Barbaria Pilot on Adult Swim
Anybody else see the pilot? (I think it's waiting to hear if it'll be picked up for a series, it's just one episode so far)
Easily the most violent television program I've watched in a long time. I loved it.
It's like Conan the Barbarian mixed with a whole lot of Heavy Metal by way of Ralph Bakshi and a smattering of humor.
If that sounds interesting to you, it'll be replayed Thursday 06-08 at 11PM and Friday 06-09 at 2:30AM. Both of those should be CST, you might want to check your own listings for the time.

I missed the promos for this, but saw it listed in the guide, so I Tivo'd it.
So, I really didn't have any preconceptions as to what it would be like, but I really didn't think it was that great. I didn't think the animation or story were anything special. Yeah, it may be more gory than most cartoons, but that won't get it very far.

While not excellent, I saw a lot of room for potential. Esp the self-referential stuff like the thug-squad leader rolling dice to see who's turn it was. While the gore could get old after a while, it was nice to see battles that weren't sugarcoated like Samurai Jack's.
My wife and I both LOL'd at a couple of bits, I hope to see more.

Hmmm. That image I initially posted looked perfectly fine from work, it wasn't until I got home and saw the huge-ass "I steal bandwidth" that I had any idea what Josh was talking about.

Its got potential. They did the same thing with Venture Brothers. Only producing one episode to see the reaction before deciding whether to put in an order for a full season.
No love for Squidbillies?! Still cant believe that "Tom goes to the Mayor" got picked up for a second season.

I liked it well enough. It had that wizards feel to it or something out of heavy metal magazine. All the guys are ugly and all girls are big breasted and sexy. Ultra violent just for the sake of being violent. Weakest point was story, there wasn't much of one. It doesn't seem like they will be doing serious episodes which might have been nice change of pace for this type of show.
