“Aqua Teen Hunger Force” [Maiellaro-Willis, 2000] Season 5 [Jan.-Mar. 2008] [TV-MA]

This veritable classic comedy show has rather jumped the shark: it is largely devoid of the ingenious comedic writing that elevated it to veritable masterpiece status earlier, having taken on a noticeably glitzier, more polished sheen. The comedic writing hasn’t qualitatively regressed so much as quantitatively declined. The plot incoherence is still there, entirely unaffected, but the fact that the original vision of Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis has regressed this much lays it bare, tremendously to its detriment. You’ll really have to just watch the show (BAD IDEA!) to get what I’m saying. Grade: B MINUS
