WHAT TIME IS IT!?

Adventure Time has got to be my favorite show and has been for quite some time and I know that it's incredibly successful as well it should be; but I still feel it gets labeled as that silly cartoon when it is much, much more than that.  Whenever I try to explain Adventure Time to somebody it will usually go something like, "It's the story of the last boy on Earth and his dog in a post apocalyptic world.  Where the world is now divided into kingdoms.  There's the Ice Kingdom, the Flame Kingdom and the Candy Kingdom where all the people are made of candy... Hey where ya going?"

As I said before, Adventure Time gets labeled as that silly cartoon when in reality the fact that it's a cartoon should not matter at all.  It is written so well that it should be thought of as a comedy first and foremost.  Unlike most comedies that I have been a fan of, Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Adventure Time actually gets better with age.  Nearly every episode is better than the last and yes it is good enough to compare to Seinfeld.

Now I know what some of you may be thinking, 'Why all the love for Adventure Time? What about Regular Show?'  Well shut your mouth holes imaginary critics I was getting to that.  Regular Show is a show that started shortly after Adventure Time on the same network and has a similar comedy style and it's also pretty great.  The only criticism I have with Regular Show is that all of the episodes have the same formula.  The main characters, Mordecai and Rigby are either at the park or the coffee shop, they then discover they need to accomplish some seemingly normal task, some sort of supernatural force shows up to stop them but they succeed in the end.  Although I just described nearly every Regular Show episode that is not necessarily a bad thing.  The situations may not be entirely original but the jokes are always fresh and entertaining and it's fun to watch the characters interact.

I realize in this post I talked about Regular Show about as much as I did Adventure Time but they go hand in hand in my mind.  And everything that needs to be said about Adventure Time has already been said by others who are much more fanatical than me.  All that's left to be said is that it is one of the best written shows on television with true character development and satisfying story lines.
