For the [adult swim] fan, this may seem like an ideal gift. It certainly would be, provided they don't already own one or more of the seasons present in this box set. Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken and Metalocalypse are present-day staples of the [adult swim] lineup. For those who have only recently tuned in, Sealab 2021 and Space Ghost Coast to Coast may be welcome discoveries of shows missed. Moral Oral is an acquired taste (I enjoyed it), and its inclusion is a little odd, whereas the other shows had more mass appeal to the [adult swim] audience.

The obvious question is: Why are all of the shows not season 1? I don't have that answer. Suffice it to say the only [adult swim] show that requires sequential viewing is The Venture Bros. (whose inclusion would have made much more sense than Moral Orel). Viewers will not suffer from not having seen the first seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force (the show follows no on-going plotlines), Space Ghost (a late-nite talk show), Robot Chicken (a stop-motion skit comedy show), or Sealab 2021 (a sitcom-like series, but also does not follow on-going plotlines). My assumption is that Cartoon Network perhaps has too many of these particular seasons in stock, and felt this would be an excellent way to move some overstock. In any case, this box set is a wonderful sampling of what [adult swim] has to offer in way of programming, both past and present.

What is not mentioned in the product description is the inclusion of a disc containing previously unavailable pilot episodes. They are: Korgoth of Barbaria, Welcome to Eltingville, Perfect Hair Forever, Cheyenne Cinnamon, and The Best of Totally for Teens. (Full disclosure: The inclusion of Korgoth and Eltingville made this a 'must buy' for this reviewer. I've kept a vhs recording of Eltingville since it first aired in 2002 and Korgoth was on my dvr for well over a year before being deleted.) These pilots also offer a great mix of animated comedy and a look at what might-have-been for [adult swim].

This came quickly and was well packaged. My 22 y/o son was very excited to receive this. His 66 y/o grandmother however, became quite flustered when he had one of the DVDs playing while we were visiting. AWESOME!

The owner of this box set was THRILLED!!!! Great collection at a great price too!!!!

Overall, worth the money if you haven't seen Adult Swim in a while. These are all just the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year episodes. This set is a mix. My only complaint is I wish that they were all just the same season.

i love watching adult swim on cartoon network. and i kept seeing ads for this set non stop during christmas time so i figured what the hay i'll see how much it is and to my surprise it was really decently priced for six different shows on dvd plus a bonus dvd containing never before released to dvd pilots. my only complaint is instead of space ghost couldn't they have instead included squidbillies?? i actually like everything else in the set expect space ghost. but it was still worth the price for the rest of the dvds cause buying them separately could easily cost you $25 a piece or better. personally i think cartoons on dvd should have a set price around $17 or something cause it's only a cartoon it's not like it's a limited edition specially packaged autographed collector's edition

Through down you danm Going Rouge book, and your danm bible. Its time for cartoons in their greatest form. All packaged in a box together, and for a price that'd even make the cheapest of whores seem expensive. Act now for even more pleasure than crabs!

if everything was season 1.

what the hell is up with the random seasons for each show???
