I have to admit that I was one of those people who you couldn't even *talk to* about TAEASGJ!; not even a suggestion of it was at all appealing-- the exploding faces, the pulsing, obnoxious intro to the show was repellent. I was put off to it for years, actually until the middle of the 5th season... and I regret that immensely. I was the type of person that did exactly what the show wanted... ostracize the individuals who 'couldn't get it'. The show has a spectacular ability to do this, which, in my now humbled opinion, makes it one of a kind. The supposed series finale is tomorrow night and I am crushed that it has taken me close to 5 years to get into the humor of the show. Everything, from the celebrity special guests, to the 'special' guests who sincerely believe they are celebrities, the jabs at superficiality of our childhoods... The show is incredible and the sheer genius and all of it's perky idiosyncrasies coupled with Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim's need to make themselves and each other laugh makes this show a 10 out of 10. A+ for the day.

It takes something special, a quality that possibly cannot be named, save for whatever the combination of 'violent' and 'awesome' could possibly make-- Maybe that 'awesolent' quality-- the one that makes you sit back in your chair, or couch, or edge of your bed respectively, and say "This show is so 'awesolent', I wish *I'd* created it.." Maybe I'm projecting, but we should all, as proper Adult Swim watchers, be so very thankful to have the work of Augenblick Studios at our beck and call.

Superjail is comprised of a cast of characters that are so unique-- (save for the odd resemblance of the Warden to... I'll let you finish that one..) and yet somehow relative... if only on the abstract sense.

The animation is amazing, creative doesn't even begin to describe-- there is clearly so much thought in this series, from every single aspect -- artistically, audibly-- the thoroughness is almost enough to make your gut churn, because it's so pleasing to see something so *different* from the current line up of Adult Swim. Don't get me wrong. Thereare shows that I shan't name, that do actually have excellent stories-- but the animation is garbage, it's careless, and it's done on a low budget-- okay, I know, I'm sorry the economy's bad... but Superjail..

Ahhh.. just say 'Superjail..' aloud, and sigh. Doesn't it feel good? Don't you just want to stop reading this and watch it? The shows always leave the viewer in a state of awe at the end, which is excellent. I'm not talking' dumbfounded, not sure what happened awe, I'm talking' the 'oh, holy $h!t!!!' AND THAT IS WHAT WE WANT, WHEN WE ARE WATCHING AN ADULT SWIM PROGRAM, AMIRITE? This show gets an A+, as far as I'm concerned. It's the best show on Adult Swim right now, hands down.
