Their dvrs are hit and miss. I have gone through 3 or 4 since they started the service. On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 5:00 AM, Martin Baxter <truthseeker...@hotmail.com> wrote: Can't agree more, Keith. I still can't quite get Boomerang on my set yet. The digital signal keeps popping in and out constantly. Comcrap says that they may have given us bad set-top boxes. *Four* of them... (spit!)

If you've never seen "Samurai Jack", then do yourself a favor and check it out. Don't let the oddly flat looking animation throw you. Don't be turned off by the idea of a Samurai nicknamed "Jack" in a strange future. If you see a couple of eps that seem kinda silly or light, don't give up. Tartokovsky crafted an incredibly good show here, full of action, adventure, and some surprisingly effective drama. I can think of a couple of shows that literally had my mouth hanging open, and a couple that had me near misty eyed (see Jack battle the cursed Viking warrior for example). It's fun when they riff on that anime standard of characters freezing in moments of high action: you know, when a character delivers a fatal sword stroke, then freezes in that move, while the enemy dies, or explodes, as the case is here. There's good music, good writing, and memorable characters. If Boomerang had to replace Justice League, this is one of the better choices to take its place.
