    It was interesting, I know the pilot was a PFFR thing but now it's just a cartoon network thing. I don't know if there's still any PFFR connections, but it doesn't quite seem right for Cartoon Network or Adult Swim. Certainly has potential and I'll stay tuned into it for a little while yet.

    So is anyone else watching this? Enjoyed that 2nd episode a bit more, and I'm sure others might enjoy some of the video game based humor in this episode. I am enjoying the dynamic between the 3 characters there's some good exchanges between them in there. I do wonder how much this show will stick with it's own formula for as it could get a bit tedious with repetition.

    I liked the second episode better too

    it was kind of funny that the video game world doesn't really look all that different from the normal world

    already tired of tux dog... why can't the solverz solve they own problems

    I gotta say, it's amazing that the character designs are unchanged from when they first appeared on Adult Swim. I thought they would give Horace some more hair since he's freakishly bald in some places and all.

    Don't know why I just watched all that, when I've got it on my hard drive.

    I'm getting into the series more as it goes along, Roba is a great character, but I do think the pilot was the best so far, and I wonder if it would be better if it was still being produced by PFFR for adult swim.

    Well, the pilot was somewhat good and had some funny moments and dialog but I don't think so. Don't get me wrong, it'd be a popular cult show but most of their animated efforts rely too much on weird humor (the kind of humor that was written when the writers smoked all kinds of drugs.), especially Xavier: Renegade Angel.

    Xavier is so incredibly dense with ideas and wordplay that to dismiss it as just being drug humor is foolish.

    I'm still kind of enjoying this show, but the formula it settled into is a bit boring, it hasn't lived up to the potential shown in the pilot. If there's any show that fits the unjustified reputation of adult swim shows being stoner humor it's this; The one that isn't actually an adult swim show.
