The Adult Swim time on the television network: Cartoon Network, consists of shows that aren't afraid to be different. Sometimes the shows fail to be funny and sometimes they may make you want to cry from laughing. Here is a short collection of reviews that may introduce you to some of the programs you may have missed or may be missing. Adult Swim is always adding new shows and gracing the viewer with classic episodes of shows since abandoned, so by far this list is not all conclusive as a programming guide.

Frisky Dingo:
Another zany comedy for the Adult Swim lineup of Cartoon Network, Frisky Dingo brings familiar delivery of jokes, yet with a premise that is fun enough to set it apart.

Frisky Dingo is created by the same people responsible for the off-beat cartoon Sealab 2021 and the animation style supports that, looking exactly the same. However, Frisky Dingo brings a new and hilarious premise with it as the plots revolve around Xander Crews a billionaire who's alter ego is the superhero Awesome X. Having rid the city of most villains Xander is more of a goof off than a hero: enter Kill face a new villain wishing to destroy humanity and searching for the funds to do it.

Due to the premise this show overshadows Sealab 2021 in creating more hilarious scenarios and characters. True, Adult Swim has its share of super hero comedies, but for fans of the Sea Lab style of program Frisky Dingo is top-notch entertainment.

Xander is more or less meant to be the main character, however it is Killface with his voice and antics that steals the show. Not to mention his relationship and the trials he goes through raising his son.
Frisky Dingo is not to be written off as just another one of those Adult Swim shows of random humor. It sets itself apart, even with the familiar gimmicks, and one cannot help but laugh time and time again.

Excellent overview of many of the shows Adult Swim has to offer. I particularly enjoyed the Frisky Dingo, Moral Orel, and Venture Brothers reviews (I watch these three shows regularly).
