Since the show's started its second season, the heading says it
all.

"Comedy is the truth gone for laughs."

I caught one episode and didn't find it worth the bother. It might appeal a
little to those old enough to remember 16 bit graphics but it's just another
lame show that thinks that shows for adults means they have to be obscene.

Well, obscenity (like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder.

In fact, if you don't mind my asking, what would you consider enjoyable
during the late night block(s)?

Given that it IS G4/Tech, I assume they're still grappling with their
identity crisis between trying to produce *actual* gamer-demographic
shows, and just trying to deliberately doppelganger Adult Swim to
confuse channel clickers.

Maybe, but the Dark Fruit creature from R still leaves a bad taste in my
brain. And the less said about the "Remless", the better!
