Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Season 5

I wasn't sure exactly whether the "fifth season" was complete, so I waited a while before talking about these nine episodes. The sixth DVD set includes them plus four more which still haven't aired on TV, but those are the beginning of season six I guess, so here we are. Normal episodes of Aqua Teen took a year off in 2007 thanks to the movie, but returned last year in more or less standard form. The best of the series is probably behind it by this point, but there was still quite a few laughs in these episodes.

There's actually a surprising amount of continuity in the first few episodes, as Carl tries to sell the Aqua Teens' house for the vampire landlord while they're away on vacation, although he runs into some trouble with robots, sirens, John Kruk (former baseball player, terrible analyst), and a giant spider thing. Further craziness ensues as the plots continue to remain slightly more outlandish than they usually might be, like a strange recorder leading to an invasion by furries and all of meatwad's dead pets returning from the grave, including a sign-talking, horny gorilla. There's also some fun cameos by guys like David Cross and Kristen Schaal (the increasingly psychotic Mel from Flight of the Conchords) as well as a not-so-subtle jab at Comedy Central for buying Futurama away from Cartoon Network. New episodes are supposed to be coming by the end of the month, and I'm always ready for that.
