Good Cartoons Currently Running.

Currently running...

Avatar and The Venture Brothers have me hooked.

I don't know what it is exactly about Avatar that has me liking it, but it's just an all-around good cartoon in my opinion. It's got humor, action, a great story, great animation for a (non-Japan?)-produced cartoon, and likeable characters. Some of the fight scenes in this show are so fun too watch (see: fight between Aang and Zuko in the episode with the scent-smelling beast, and the fight between Aang and the earthbending general who wants to force Aang into his avatar state).

And then there's The Venture Bros., which is probably the funniest cartoon I've seen in ages. I think I've said it before, but it's humor for some reason reminds me of the old PC point-and-click adventure game, Day of the Tentacle. Maybe it's the awkward characters, I dunno. It's an awesome cartoon, period.

Both shows have DVDs out for their first seasons. Coincidentally, you can catch both of their second seasons on the Xbox Live Marketplace if you've got a 360. Episodes cost something around 200 points each. Otherwise, wait around for the DVDs of their second seasons to come out hopefully soon.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
