I can't speak to everything else, but we have a long term commitment from FOX to give us a chance to grow. We often talk about how the Simpson's was allowed to grow from the Tracy Ullman shorts into a real series, and that's the idea with the shows on ADHD (and the block as whole.) So if you like the shit we're making, it will be around for a while. And if you don't, I'm sorry, because we're gonna be around for a while.

yeah totally

Any time Tyler even remotely hurts himself, he makes SUCH a big deal out of it. We try to put that in but it doesn't read as well on camera so most of it stays out but it's so funny to see him hit his shin and then cry on the ground for a while. He's such a pussy! But I love pussy.

Metalocalypse came about when Brendon was visiting the office and pitching another show based on Middle Earth. The Hobbit was huge then and we'd seen a bunch of similar pitches but we knew we wanted to work with him. He's always wearing a T Shirt with some metal band on it and he's an awesome musician, so Mike Lazzo had the brilliant idea of telling him to come up with a metal show, where he'd play the music. And Dethklok was born.

It's actually ridiculously efficient. One of the main problems when you ship stuff, is that it takes FOREVER and you lose control over the animation. When you keep it all under one roof, you can oversee every aspect so if something isn't going well or you write new jokes, you can do it immediately. In my opinion, this is the only way to make animation. And PIXAR would back that shit up.

I have a terrible memory and have forgotten so much of my childhood, which sucks. But I definitely can remember sitting in front of the TV watching Duck Tales, Animaniacs, Freakazoid. Kid's cartoons used to be so fucking weird and silly and almost adult in how surreal they were, and I'm happy to see that come back with shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show. The best cartoons are the ones that a five year old and a twenty year old can watch and love for different reasons.
