What time is it? ADVENTURE TIME!

It's painstakingly obvious television nowadays is awful. However, it seems to have one saving grace, and it comes from an unusual source. A cartoon. On Cartoon Network. It's called Adventure Time, and new episodes are on Monday at 8.



The show is a nonsense filled adventure of a human named Finn and a dog namd Jake who live in the land of Ooo. It's brilliantly written, hilarious, and even a tad adult at times. It's random in a quirky way, and never ceases to be a riot. It's animated beautifully and in HD. Everything about it is original and clever, and leaves you wondering, why can't TV be more like this?

The answer is, it can. Cartoon Network has other classic cartoons clearly meant for an older audience than advertised. (Flapjack is my favorite of them.) Adult Swim's original programming is pretty awesome too, Metalocalypse and even crazy shows such as Superjail are most people's pleasures.

I've found the best American programming tends to be cartoons, because they can stay fresh and can be produced more often than live action shows.

So, do yourself a favor and check out Adventure Time. You'll be glad ya did. MATHEMATICAL!
