What kind of a stupid name is "The Shrubbloggers"?    |    Why is there a "2.0" next to the crappy logo?    |    You could well starve if you feed on our RSS.

Back in September, I posted about my cousin Jacob’s Adult Swim cartoon pilot, That Crook’d ‘Sipp. The 30-second preview has been on the web for about a year, and a one-minute clip was posted much more recently. (It’s also on the Adult Swim web site, albeit with a less-useful interface.)

The show is scheduled to debut on the Cartoon Network this Sunday night at 12:15 a.m. Or, rather, this Monday morning at 12:15 a.m., if you’re pedantic like me. It’s also scheduled to hit the web, on a nifty online downloady feature called Adult Swim Fix, sometime on Thursday.

So watch it, and stuff.

I’m struck by the slow pace of this show reaching the screen — it can take a long time to develop things in the television world, apparently. I first heard about this show almost two and a half years ago, on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, at Jake’s house in Atlanta. That’s the same day I first heard about the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie they were developing. I saw the first five minutes of footage for that movie a year and a half ago, the Monday after Thanksgiving at Adult Swim’s HQ, but it finally hit theaters just last month. (Incidentally, remember those blinky-light dealies that shut down Boston for a day in January? Guess who designed those. Yup.)
