Lately I've been watching Adult Swim. I like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021. Basically these are very cheaply animated cartoons full of rude humor. The characters puke on each other, do drugs, have sex, beat each other up and have crude adventures with shrink&grow ray guns and robots with brains-- very juvenile.

"The penalty for a robot harming a human will be one thousand years frozen in carbonite!"
"A thousand years frozen in carbonite? It'll be so cold!"
"My nipples are hard just thinking about it."

I think this is the future of TV. These shows can be made on a shoe string budget and, juvenile humor aside, are fairly well written. Within 15 years, teenagers with inexpensive computers and video cameras will change the way TV and films are made, just like the way teenagers with inexpensive amplifiers and guitars changed the way music was made.
