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.)
