We're gonna have a TV party tonight! Alright!
[In shakiest old man voice] When I was a boy, we didn't have all of these wonderful animated shows on TV. ABC was trying to convince us that something called Fish Police would be something we'd want to watch. We didn't! Now the range of animation for kids and adults on television has grown to a staggering, unexpected degree--and the MTV Geek staff had some opinions of the best titles from this past year.

[Updated 10/29 12:25 AM: In the original publication, the show's puppet designer was mis-identified as Chris Calvi, when Chris Rabilwongse is the designer Mr. Stamatopoulos was describing.]
This weekend, Cartoon Network is giving us all a Halloween treat with a mini-marathon of the stop-motion, time-traveling neurotic monster comedy, Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole. The show’s creator is, Dino Stamatopoulos, who was also responsible for religion-skewering Moral Orel, and who you might recognize as the shifty Star-burns on NBC’s Community. The series features a droll, immortal Dr. Victor Frankenstein who tinkers in his lab which is situated conveniently near the time portal—the titular Frankenhole—where each week a visitor from history might pop out with a request for the good doctor’s assistance.
With a second season of Frankenhole on the way in December, we thought we’d talk to the show’s creator about building his stop-motion world, retooling the show for season two, the secret history of the cancellation of Moral Orel, and the boozy process behind coming up with some of the storylines for the show.

In 2012, we'll finally get the long-promised (and promoted) animated take on the 2009 cult blaxploitation satire, Black Dynamite. The film stars Michael Jai White (Spawn, The Dark Knight) as a black street hero and ladies' man who tackles the onslaught of drugs and crime infesting the streets of his neighborhood. Among other things, the movie provides us with the answer to the question, "What's Arsenio Hall been up to?" The upcoming Adult Swim animated series promises to continue the ongoing adventures of the title character as he dispenses justice on the mean streets of the inner city.
White was joined by co-star Byron Minnis, the film's director Scott Sanders, and the animated series' Executive Producer, Carl Jones in fielding a few questions about the new show at NYCC with The Nerdist's Jonah Ray. Read more...
