Insomnia

Last night, I had some trouble sleeping, so I started flipping channels. Oh, Happy Day!!! I stumbled across one of my favorite guilty pleasures: The Oblongs. If you've never seen the show, it's quite a treat. Its a morbidly delightful cartoon about a family of mutants who live by a chemical spill. The Mom (voice of Jean Smart) is bald, the Dad (voiced of Will Ferrell) has no limbs, two of the kids (comedians Randy and Jason Sklar) are siamese twins, the little girl has something that looks like a penis growing out of her head, and the other kid is just plain weird.

If you happen to be up at midnight on Sunday, flip over to catch The Oblongs on "Adult Swim" at the Cartoon Network. Good Stuff.

My other favorite "Adult Swim" cartoon, by the way, is Home Movies. If you remember "Dr.Katz, Professional Therapist" from the old days of Comedy Central, you'll like Home Movies. It has that same Tom Snyder-produced squiggle-vision quality. Too Bad Cartoon Network hasn't been showing it much lately. Weenies.
