Clone High was great. It died way too quickly.

But Happy Tree Friends is played on G4, innit?

I hear Comedy Central has Beavis and Butthead. Still love those dudes. Don't forget Liquid Television while you're offering up old MTV things. The birth of Aeon Flux. She rocks.

Downtown was awesome.

Jen: Look, Alex! It's a window *and* a metaphor of your life!

Sadly, shows like Downtown are just too smart for today's market. Subtle humour, but deep and incredibly clever. Goes way over the heads of most mindless viewers, who just want slapstick stupidity to LOL at.

By coincidence, I was up late one night last week, working on a project - and caught an episode of Gary the Rat. That was pretty neat, too.

Don't worry. MTV seems like they are starting to release their old cartoons on DVD now. They have Vol. 1 of Beavis and Butthead out and just released Aeon Flux.

Yeah, figures they'd release Aeon Flux with the nearing release of that live action movie.
