The Venture Bros. (2003)
This show was made for me.
This is easily my favourite TV show as it feels like it was made for me. It feels this way because I get 90% of the references made and it's the stuff I like. The characters in the show I feel are very relatable and complex despite being an Adult Swim comedy. The plots are unique and character-driven, with science fiction being used as the backdrop to make these stories happen. It's nice to see an adult animated series with a normal art style without the characters looking bland. The music of the show feels very consistent and has its own sound perfected by composer JG Thirlwell, which is first heard in the explosive intro. The voice acting is phenomenal despite there only being 5 main actors, everyone sounds distinct and their voices fit their characters well. The plotting is paced excellently and fits effectively in its 22-minute length. There is no real main character in the show despite the show being named after the twins, this is because they all have something to offer and you wouldn't know that initially. In terms of quality, the consistency of the episodes is top-notch, this is because only the 2 creators write the show, and they usually take turns writing episodes or for the more ambitious ones, they work together.
If you decide to watch the series you might need to motivate yourself when getting through the first half of season one, where the comedy and plotting are less complex, but once you get to episode 6, you're set to enjoy this thrilling, funny and impactful series.
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files (2010)
Wonderful Shlock
A group of straight unsuperstitious people set out to prove these supernatural/paranormal videos are fake. Simple premise - dumb but entertaining.
Unlike awful paranormal investigation shows this one tries to prove real "evidence" is fake as opposed to lolling in the dark for 50% of the episode and using the other 50% for an unfulfilling context dump. The show is best when they debunk it as quick as possible. Some of their attempts to replicate the footage can be dumbfounding, but hilarious.
Sometimes after failing to prove it is fake, they'll do a "paranormal investigation" from which they always get nothing from. Luckily it's heavily edited, unlike most boring ghost shows.
Nothing on TV? Put this on, it kills time effectively and it's quite addictive and engaging. Give it a go, don't expect much.
