I know this is a little bit of a late comment, but I just wanted to say that I absolutely adore “LaToT” (why yes, that’s what the cool kids are calling it). This so is so smart. It’s the driest humor I’ve seen on television in a while. Although it’s a risk, in my opinion, to pair it with animation that would turn most people off, I think the script and the animation are what MAKE this show. I hope it comes back for another season. My real-life friend Tim (and plenty of others) agrees.

Bad writing + bad animation = bad show. I give it one season.

@klm, it looks way more than stupid. They even know how to make a cartoon character to move natural? Like how is in family guy. They sure know.

@censorthis:

Actually, I chose the contest topic, not HBO. They always leave this stuff up to the blogger. So this has nothing to do with the writers trying to steal your ideas. I just thought it would be a funny and apropos topic. All they’re trying to do is promote their show, not get new script ideas.

let me get this straight. we give them ideas for potential scripts based on uncomfortable situations we’ve been in, so their talentless writers don’t have to come up with ideas of their own. and then for that we might get paid with some lameass dvd’s that effectively cost the studio zilch. and in the meantime the writers get paid a bundle and win emmys off of our ideas and become even more sought after.

shit, babe, count me in!!!

My most awkward moment was when cool people caught me watching “Curb your Enthusiasm” and “Flight of the cancorn” …and I couldn’t get laid for a year.
