Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The premise of Frisky Dingo starts out simply enough; the main hero has managed to stop all evil in the city and is going to retire; only he doesn't intend to retire, but rather wants to bask in the fame of the spotlight. He further helps inflate his ego by releasing a doll of himself; only he needs a villain to be his rival. The villain on the other hand, is some kind of weird half-human, half-demon that has finally built his ultimate weapon; it will push the Earth straight into the sun – only he doesn't have enough money to power it and needs to find some scheme to do so. He resorts to sending out postcards to make money; the hero gets it and the two meet their fate.The series could play well with this and go from here; but like so many other Adult Swim shows, it starts out with a good premise, and starts to fall flat as it quickly degrades into banter, confusion and petty squabbles between the characters. If you want to see the premise fall apart, and the plot stop so that the characters can question another character's motif; this show does just that and does it regularly.Most notably this show resorts to many of the same jokes, characters suddenly getting hurt and taken out of the action, or otherwise getting ripped out of their comfort zone and being forced to deal with strange situations. To describe them as being human and full of faults is an understatement – these characters literally revel in the fact they find themselves in absurd situations outside of their normal lives. The show does at a few points use crude humor which was a huge turnoff while I was watching it.Mind you, this was through the first half of the first season; I did some skimming through the rest of the first season and it did not do much to redeem itself. At the end of the first season, it does wrap up what it started as the main premise; but it also ends on a cliffhanger.I did enjoy the show initially; the ending was also good; but they could have done things better instead of crossing a threshhold that turned this series into something else inbetween. There is a second season which in its entirety is much like the absurdities in the middle of the first; I skimmed it, and while it might be entertainment; that was about it.As an end result, I only recommend this series if you are bored and in need of just that – adult humor, absurd situations and entertainment.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=10010).

I've been out of the loop in terms of Adult Swim programming for a while, and recently came across Frisky Dingo via OnDemand. Not knowing anything about the show, but finding the title hilarious, I figured "Oh what the hell". I'm glad I did. As a matter of fact, I bought the season one DVD shortly after watching my first Frisky Dingo episode. Now I'm just craving for more. I find the characters hilarious, especially Killface. His dialog alone is worth watching the show.Watching shows like The Venture Brothers, I was happy that Cartoon Network was actually creating "smart" cartoons geared towards adults. Frisky Dingo is absolutely hilarious and a must see.

I would like to exclaim my undying support to the boys and girls at Adult Swim for making fine 18-35 demographic television for smart, funny people who have an often times ironic lifestyle. this show is another shining example of why i call Adult Swim "Television's Candy"- because, well it so is. the characters are often confused and normal- concerned with Cobra insurance and HMOs but the social commentary, once again, makes Cartoon Network look even better by allowing off-color humor to become a valuable, if not indispensable, part of entertainment. i cannot get enough of Killface. his sexual ambiguity and the violence that are sometimes even absurd for his "villain-esque" character make me giggle with delight. my boyfriend and i quote this show on a regular basis. i am now simply waiting on the DVD and a new season. this, i hope, is the future of television for my age. a 30-something adult with existential googly eyes awaiting more absurd TV. the genius of this show is fast dialog and a nurturing of characters like only the makers of sea lab could provide. bravo guys.

Agree with above. It is now our favorite show on cartoon network. We try not to watch too much TV, but it is now as highly anticipated as The Daily Show or The Colbert Report. Only problem is it's 15 minutes a week. And the YouTube raters are idiots (2.5 stars while amateur hacked up Sonic video games to butt rock get 5 stars? Do those ratings mean anything?). The Atlanta folks have created so many wild characters -- Killface, Cruise, the Xticles, Antagone, on and on and on -- to last many seasons already, each taking a huge critical bite out of pop culture's ass. CN better keep this series going, there's so many loose ends already -- where is the Killbill revenge of Killface slave girl? When will Cruise have the showdown with "Alfred the corporate butler"? Etc. etc. How about move the damn show to an earlier or weekend time slot where it belongs?
