  http://www.homestarrunner.com/hallowday.html I almost pissed myself when I saw Bubs as Coach McGuirk. I mean, I was just watching the show and there it was. It's like The Brothers Chaps are reading my mind.

  8.5 Great

  Bottom Line: The show is an underappreciated gem in Adult Swim's lineup, and if you can, watch it, because it is absolute genius. hide « show »

  This show is very funny, and the reason it's considered a "cult classic" is because it actually conveys real people. The show isn't overly dramatic, and it keeps things interesting because unlike other shows, Brendon and the others branch out and do whatever they want in Brendon's short films, which are certainly not of a very high quality level (he's an 8-year-old, so don't expect anything along the lines of Steven Spielberg) but they're funny and original. Also of note are the lengthy conversations between Brendon and Coach McGuirk, which are specifically genius due to McGuirk's "philosophy" being nothing but him ranting about anything he wants. These tend to be the best moments in each episode, and that's a high reception for a show that's already great enough. Bottom Line: The show is an underappreciated gem in Adult Swim's lineup, and if you can, watch it, because it is absolute genius.

  This is one of the freshest, original and best shows of all time. hide « show »

  Home Movies is about a boy who escapes the badness in life by making movies with his friends. The show is simply amazing in terms of style. Most of the show is done through retro scripting or Imrpov, and most dialogue is vaguely scripted. The actors in this show are some of the best actors i have ever heard in a cartoon. Especially H. Jon Benjamin, the voice of the almighty Coach Mcguirk. Coach Mcguirk gives about 75% of the shows comedy, and he is the most hilarious guy in a cartoon. He is not stupid funny like Peter Griffin, but his comedy is intelligent. Another thing in this show is the music. The music on this show is great and/or funny. Like "Franz Kafka" or "Don't Kill Children" bring great laughs to the show. All in all, Home Movies is a legendary show. Anybody who is smart and understands smart humor should definitely watch this show.

  I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SHOW! hide « show »

  So in conclusion, yes I know that's a weird way to start a review, this show is brilliant with wonderful rides and twists and turns. The last episode almost made me cry for some reason. In my opinion, this is the best show on [adult swim] that is actually 30 minutes, in competition with the Venture Brothers. This is one show on [adult swim] that could actually appeal to teenage age groups, since none of the episodes ever have a M rating. The songs written by Brendon Small is fantastic! The art, while simple, it's very colorful and cheerful. This is completely different from the awful Metalocalypse. The personality of the characters are great and funny. The comedy of this makes you laugh at every episode you watch, which is from exaggerated comedy or whatever you call it. Despite the main characters are children, the movies they make are wonderful and obviously child's play, of course, low budget. I don't care if people don't like this show, it's still one of the best.

  9 Superb

  The general premise of Home Movies is a simple one. Brendan and his friends, Melissa and Jason, make home movies, often producing dubious results. hide « show »

  Home Movies, without a doubt, is one of the best shows to ever have graced Cartoon Network's [adult swim] block. While some may find it boring or strange, Home Movies is delightfully quirky. The humor is refreshingly dry instead of in your face, the general tone is down-to-earth and laidback, and the characters are very likable. The dialogue in the show is priceless; it's always well-written and well-performed. How the talented voice actors can ad-lib such funny material is incredible. One of my favorite aspects of Home Movies in particular is Coach McGuirk and Brendan's conversations. They play off each other in a hilarious fashion.
  
  Home Movies is not extremely plot-intensive, but unlike most shows on the network, it's loose structure rarely feels like it's meandering. Another thing worth note is it's music. Brendon Small's soundtrack for Home Movies is insanely catchy and funny. While Metalocalypse might be the project he's always wanted to do, to me Home Movies is definitely his best work. tangerine_tea's grade: A

  An awesome show that should continue on. hide « show »

  On the first season, you'll really want to appreciate squiggle-vision. This show is hilarious. Just watching kids make hilarious and actually great movies, you'll find a humor you never thought you'd laugh at. When you continue watching this, you'll learn so much depth of the characters. While not the best animation, it does indeed has a great story plot to back it up with. It might not be as unpredictable as Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Squidbillies, it is just as good as the other shows on [adult swim]. Home Movies has a variety of obvious kid humor and very adult humor. Either way, you'll have a great time watching this show!
