4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better, July 21, 2001

I am going to list all the shorts on this tape, then express my thoughts.

Uncle Louie: Louie find a way to travel fast.

Aeon Flux: Aeon takes on an air assasination.

Crazy Daisy Ed: Ed runs into the cops.

Stick Figure Theater: Relive the King Henry era.

Dr. Zum: Zum explores the atom bomb factory.

Aeon Flux: Aeon runs into trouble on a night mission.

Stick Figure Theaters: The Night of the Living Dead and the Crash of the Hindenburg.

Dangwoods: Dwade get's caught up in bad dreams.

Aeon Flux: Aeon must save a harbor from sinking.

Crazy Daisy Ed: Ed rips on his friends landlord.

Big City: Music video of African-American life.

One Less Ant: A boy discovers how bad an ant can feel.

Aeon Flux: It's WAR! Aeon dies quickly, but it is lengthy.

Raisen: Watch as Hamilton pulls a Malade out of a hat.

The only shorts I feel that shouldn't be included is Dangwoods and Big City, because they are too long and not really entertaining. I love Aeon Flux, Crazy Daisy Ed and Stick Figure Theater as they are very original. Overall, worth the bucks, but I wish there was more on here.

3.0 out of 5 stars so much missing, September 5, 2004

Rottenberg's rotten book review (nyc) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of Liquid TV [VHS] (VHS Tape)

MTV mystifies me. They've given us hours and hours of reality TV shows, and then repackaged them on video. Couldn't they have done the same for LTV? This collection gives you a taste of what the show offered - half-hours of sometimes daring animation. From the original "Beavis & Butthead" to "Aeon Flux", LTV delivered. Though quality was uneven, the beauty of LTV was that you never knew what to expect - a quality of variety that's sorely missing here. What about "Art School Girls" (one of the show's recurring bits)? What about the nameless single sketches done? Also, episodes of LTV had recurring themes that tended to filter through the otherwise disparate shorts (esp. in a season closer that ended on a somewhat languid and mournful Italian song "Amore Baciami". Yet, while many inferior shows get released in their entirety, we only get a smattering meant to be representative of a very unique show. Also, what does get on this tape is sort of questionable - "Aeon Flux"? Sure I enjoyed it, but Aeon got her own show (and apparently a movie is on the way). Time was that you could enjoy groundbreaking, daring or simply unusual animation on late-nite TV before the onslaught of "infomercials" and then "reality TV". Shows like LTV offered us a lot - they deserve more than a "best of". It's time for a DVD season box-set.

4.0 out of 5 stars All Hail, Liquid Television!, August 25, 2001

By

There's no denying that Liquid Television was one of the most innovative and entertaining shows to ever grace our television sets, thus making this compilation tape well worth tracking down. If I had one critisism, it would be that it's a little lacking in the Weird department, but nontheless still makes for fun viewing. Included are such classics as Aeon Flux, Crazy Daisy Ed, Stick Figure Theatre, Dr Zum and The Dangwoods. It's a damn shame that such wonderfully bizarre and creative viewing as LTV is no longer screened, but those of us who were lucky enough to have experienced the show will appreciate what is on display here.
