Space Ghost, Aqua Teen, Sealab. In that order.
This is the Adult Swim Holy Trinity. There are other great shows in the channels library, and there's a whole lot of shit, but these are the objective kinos of Adult Swim.

This, and Xavier
>Aqua Teen
yes
>Boondocks
no. it's hilarious, parodies its guest characters with sharp wit, and mish-mashes great styles and themes; but it's not kino
>Harvey Birdman
no
>Home Movies
yes. not only is it a parody of great film making and production, but it's take on child innocence and humanity is essential to understanding indy film production.
>Moral Orel
no. dark humor is funny, but no.
>Sealab
yes
>Space Ghost
yes. it's the father of all that is adult swim.

Are the early, in house Adult Swim shows really that much better than the rest of the content they've aired, or is this just nostalgia vision?
I mean, I love them too but I'm trying to get an outsider's perspective so I can look at this more objectively.

Moral Orel is objectively Kino, check out the final two episodes of season 2 and all of season 3.

>nostalgia vision
i don't think so. i've watched AS since the beginning when i was a wee little man, but i think they're necessary for establishing a base for what AS stands for. what are the three films that film studies courses jam down the throats of their students? (metropolis, casablanka, and seven samurai btw) why wouldn't it be the same for a generation of late night cartoon media?
t. i'm not a film student tho

i've seen them, but i still don't think moral orel is kino. it's not a necessity to watch for adult swim because of those episodes. is breaking bad kino because season 4 and 5 were god tier? is interstellar kino because of the docking scene?their great episodes but it's not kino. i mean people think rick and morty is kino because it's adult swim's perfect child. doesn't mean it really is kino.

Moral Orel Season 3 is one of the best things ever aired on television, and much better than even the best episodes of breaking bad.
I agree though Rick and Morty isn't Kino.
