Every kid wishes he could make his own movies. Video Cameras have only become a non-luxury item in the past couple years, so seeing one in my childhood was rare. My parents had one but it was so large and bulky that it wasn't worth the trouble. The only movie I recall making with it was a Public Service Announcement featuring the Happy Days gang. It had Potsy and Richie peer pressuring the Fonz to drink. I still think it is sort of brilliant that the two dorks were trying to get the cool dude to drink, but then again I am easily impressed with whatever I did when I was 11. We also used a giant beer bottle coin bank that my brother had. Even filled with water it was lighter than the camera.

What does this have to do with the show Home Movies? Nothing really! It's hard to talk about a show that is comprised almost entirely of small talk. It's very funny small talk though!

NOTE: I’ve been revisiting Home Movies in my Adult Swim in Review feature, so I’ve said a lot about the show. So bear with me here. I’m sure I’ll repeat myself a bit.

This is such a great show to listen to. Watching it is optional. And this show gets better and better. It takes a bit of a step back in Season 4, but I don’t think by much. Anyway, I love this show a lot. Basically it’s about a bunch of people who know each other and are fuck-ups, but still manage to find joy in their lives. There’s also a kid who makes movies with his camcorder. Everyone on it is so naturally funny and charming.

I wonder why this show isn’t on in some form now? They should just do a radio version of it. Oh man, imagine that. Like occasionally I’ll get sick of my CDs and I’ll turn on the radio and the music stations are always a bust, so I wind up listening to the weird religious (and by religious I mean Christian) stations that have these old-fashioned radio plays that teach morals but they are always tied to modern things like VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES or RUDE WEBSITES. The cast of Home Movies should just remake those and make them funny. Come on guys! It’s not like you’re all busy or anything! Oh wait, you all are? Oh. Well, do it anyway.

Sometimes I feel like Home Movies doesn't even work as a show, or as a story for that matter. Half the time when I'm watching it I just want to close my eyes and forget about the characters or the plot and just listen to the voice actors talk. I almost think the show would just be better as a dialogue-driven radio sketch show than an animated sitcom. This sounds like i'm saying it's a bad show but I kinda wish more TV was like that.

COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY

	Buster Simmons: My son had me watching this show. He said it was a bunch of Dr. Katz and Space Ghost writers? Eh seemed like kids stuff. I just saw a bunch of dumb kids dicking around in a basement. If I wanted to see that, I’d get a job making websites!
	Chad Newmarket: dumb kids does not good television maek; the worse of adult swim
	Frances Mildred Gertrude “Frandma” Prescott: This was a cute show! My grandkids watched it every Saturday morning and they learned all about science! Even when my son’s family moved out I would find myself watching this show every Saturday morning. Funniest show since “Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show”!

Home Movies was originally going to be shown in Squiggle-Vision, until it was shown through intensive research that Squiggly-Vision is utterly horrible.
