As you can tell by my avatar I'm a squidbillies fan, well it's tied with SUPERJAIL anyway, so what's yours?

Good picks!
I also put up a poll so you can vote!
Hey, that's way I put ''other''
Currently: Venture Bros. (which shouldn't come as a surprise as I have run the VB grade and discussion threads here). Robot Chicken isn't too bad, but that is one of those shows that I couldn't watch on a regular basis, but only once in a while.
In the past: SeaLab was fantastic and they ended at about the right time. Harvey Birdman was always great, even if it was the red-haired stepchild of the initial AS batch. I used to love ATHF, but I gave up on the show when it really nose dived into nothing more than gross-out/shock value humor (right around the time of "Dickisode"). However, I did catch last week's episode (where Frylock made the time machine) and I was pleasantly surprised. I also had a fondness for Tom Goes to the Mayor.
Most of AS sucks now. Many of the new shows just seem to ride on one gimmick with little behind it. It gives off the impression, perhaps unintentionally, that AS is saying "We are AS and do no wrong. Our viewers will love whatever we shove in front of them!"
On the flip side, crappy or not, AS is one of the few networking blocks that allow a show's creators to manage their show however they see fit. Working under that management must be a dream for any creator/producer/writer.

The only reason I keep Xavier on is because his voice is so mesmerizing, the way it sounds like it's spoken backwards then played in reverse or something. And the bizarre phrases he uses to describe things. The show itself is just weird but I love the way he speaks! ... And my favorite thing about Superjail is their theme song and the look of despair on the guy's face as the jail materializes out of the clouds forming the godlike Warden's mouth. It's the little things I enjoy 
Venture Bros.. None of those other shows even come across the radar. I want to wretch when I see commercials for them.
xavier is some deep shit

Gotta say I agree. Xavier is complete nonsense, but I love the way he talks!
