oneeyedrat I think I found this show on a cruise ship a few years ago. I'm not a cartoon fan at all and don't know any of the names he mentioned. Or shows. I really enjoy this little program. The characters are great and it's delightfully funny. I really enjoyed this show and have been occasionally searching for it on CN off and on. Can't find it. I'd really like to see the entire sequence of the series in from Season 1 at some point.

draft_dodger22 it simply does not get better then this show. it has every great classic/modern element of sitcoms, comparable too every show you love. it is just a perfect show. from the writing to the voice acting to the characters to the animation. the subtle things in this show are what make it so great, the things that seem incomplete yet make the show what it is. a lot of people just don't "get" this show because it is so well-plotted out. the best show on adult swim next to tim and eric awesome show great job! the most underrated show as well. the beginning of brenden small, also him at his best. do not pass on this show, if you get the chance, watch it and examine it to your fullest ability, if you have good taste you will realize how good it truly is!

Fetusman82 Home Movies is easily one of my all-time favorite shows. Right up there with South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Penn & Teller and Futurama. I started watching Home Movies when Adult Swim came on Cartoon Network. Back then, Adult Swim was hardly heard of, and it was mostly, if not all, comedic shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Adult Swim has turned a bit for the worse recently, 12 Oz. Mouse is one of the worst shows I've seen. But anyway, at the time I thought Home Movies was only okay. But through the years the show has grown on me, and became one of the best shows on television.The show is about confused eight-year old Brendon Small, who directs short films with his two friends, Jason and Mellisa, in his basement. Mellisa is Brendons best friend who turns out to be more like a boy than a girl. Jason is Brendons other friend who is a melodramatic fat kid.Brendon has pretty dysfunctional surroundings. Paula is Brendon's single mother who often doesn't have answers to Brendon's questions, in fact she usually causes more questions for herself and Brendon. And Brendons father, who has appeared in a few episodes, gets remarried to a woman who Brendon is not too crazy for.Coach McGuirk, Brendons 'soccer' coach, is easily one of the greatest characters to ever hit television. McGuirk is an alcoholic, who doesn't know the first thing about his job. He usually gives Brendon advice he later regrets listening too. As the show continues, McGuirk finds himself needing Brendon to feel like he's part of something.Another set of characters is also one of my favorites in television. Those two are Walter and Perry. Walter and Perry are two high voiced hyper-friends that wear matching clothing. But the way they act, I think it's hard to say if they are gay or just two really great friends. I especially love their 'We Hate Fenton' poem.I love Home Movies. But my circle of friends won't give the show a chance. And I think thats the huge problem of the show, no one will give the show a chance, and anyone who does, usually love the show. I like to think there is a chance of a comeback of the show, but I am aware that it is very unlikely. If Family Guy is worthy of a comeback, Home Movies is. But if not, I will still love this show.

tleidig-1 I was saddened to see that Home Movies is no longer a part of Adult Swim. It was truly original and offered a more sane, logical sense of humor compared to other, much more bizarre (yet great) adult swim shows such as Aqua Teen and Sealab. The interaction between Coach McGurk and Brendan was what made the show, along with some creative story lines. For those that lampoon the squiggle-style of animation, to each his own. I like it. The fact that CN has replaced the show with the likes of Tom Goes to the Mayor (just horrible) and Venture Bros., along with the very sad passing of Harry Goz, does not bode well for Adult Swim. Aqua Teens, as always, is really the remaining bright spot in the block, along with reruns of Futurama and Family Guy.
