Also: I freakin' love this show, and a have all the DVDs. My favourite scene in the whole series was after Brendon "broke up" with Jason and Melissa, and his mom catches him having a kind of psychotic episode in the basement. The scene ends with him just sort of mumbling nonsensically after asking if his mom just solved everything by serving cookies and milk. I think it might be the Kafka episode. Damn, now I need to watch them all again!
Its unfortunate in that episode because you now Brandon and his buds are forced to walk away from their childhood and change their lives. Though that could have been a perfect time to create a new series from it about when Brandon is a little older doing different things with his life, I'm sure it wouldn't be as funny but a lot better than letting it end on such a dark note.
@FunkMastaMegaFlex I don't think it was a dark note at all. Brendon's life was kind of a mess, and he was using the camera to escape into fantasy. In the last scene - when he dropped it - he had to face reality, and the underlying message was that he would do just fine, as most of us do.
Eventually we get to the point where it's time to pay the price...
I also think that the last scene had all of Brendon's goofy "extended family" in the car with him on his journey, even McGuirk.
@orchidtender ya his art was a way of shutting off the rest of the planet. It was such a cool show and I wanted it to last just a little longer. Yeah, he had a pretty big extended family. In a twisted kinda funny way I think McGuirk was more of a father figure than his own dad. A nice dude, but just didn't seem interested in Brandon.
@FunkMastaMegaFlex yeah, totally that. They way they were driving off in the end really hammered that home, that McGuirk was Brendon's father figure. And in a way, they're good for each other. Brendon was smart, but always so serious about everything, whereas McGuirk was kind of stupid, but his outlook on life was so... Zen, somehow (except for the violent mood-swings).
thats why so many people liked it. I personally loves the improv because it allowed the characters a lot of freedom. As the seasons went on they stuck to a story too much.
sorry. please do not read this. you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
I love all the improv the actors did in the 1st season. That little Christopher Cross back and forth at the end was priceless! you can actually kinda hear brendon chuckling when he comes up with it...
I don't get how any of you can say that one season is the best! I love all 4 seasons intensely. My Home Movies box sets are some of my treasured possessions :-)

this show is good but the first season really was the worst. not to say it was bad it just wasn't as funny as the later ones. too much improv.

Guys! Be sure to watch this show every time its on, so adult swim will see how high the ratings are for the show, and see how popular it is.

This episode was actually the very first thing Adult Swim aired when it debuted.

Really? It's not episode 1 season 1, though. Did they air them out of order at first?

The first five episodes premiered on UPN, then it was cancelled. Then Adult Swim picked up on the series, and this was the first one they aired.

@mpaone This was the first thing aired on [AS] on September 2nd, 2001, at 10PM. I think the UPN episodes aired as filler, not quite sure.
