Misson: Dull

Side note: Lala told me there was an earthquake around 10 PM last night. Guess Law & Order: SVU was that good, since I didn't feel anything.

Watched the pilot episode of Mission Hill via Imesh download, an Adult Swim feature in the US-- one of those cartoons for mature audiences, like MTV's Downtown. It's original name was Downtowners, but it was changed to avoid confusion to MTV's show. Too bad the creators didn't do the same for the storylines (at least for the 2 episodes I watched). Few funny bits, a bit predictable, and altogether nothing to write home about. Lacks wit, which should be prerequisite for "mature" cartoons. Style isn't enough. I deleted the other 7 episodes unwatched.
