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?

[bitocrump]

Awesome! Could you post the whole first "Louie Louie" sequence? :-D

[mpaone]

Haha, just for you, I will.

[megamike15]

upload the i'll race song.

[mpaone]

Haha, you mean the I Like Rice song?

[Madvillane]

one of the most underrated shows on tv that's ever been on tv in my opinion

SPOILER ALERT

I almost cried in the last episode when Brandon's camera fell out of the window and broke, and I'm a grown man.

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!

[orchidtender]

@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).

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

@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.

[orchidtender]

@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.

@mpaone They aired episode 6 first, because they had aired the first five on some other station

[TheStrangeSound]

@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.

@blipperflipper Just for the record, it's spelled b-r-e-n-d-o-n.

@mpaone no, it's the "i'll race, with the wind in my face, and i'll race, all over the palce" from the talent show musical
