freak show


david cross has been a hero of mine ever since i watched mr. show the first time. the way they linked the skits together was genius, and if you have ever seen the drugachussetts episode, you know what i mean.

his new project is called freak show. it is about a crack team of freaks who go missions given to them by the parking attendant at the white house. even though i'm a big fan of david cross, i'm not a huge fan of freak show. there are a few barbs pointed at our society, government, etc, but it doesn't push it over the hump for me. perhaps if i was in an altered state, i'd feel differently.

i am neither a fan of aqua teen hunger force, and they seem to have that audience in mind. it is the same type of animation, the same type of bizarre setups, and many of the same voices, as well.

it's just not david cross enough.
