Does anyone else watch this show?
I think the art on it is killer. And I love the way the stories are told.

It's honestly one of my favorite shows. I love the art style/animation and the way each episode is about him trying to get home but he (usually) ends helping some people along the way by kicking some robot ass. I think my favorite episode is the one where he helps that viking guy stuck in the rock.
Unfortunately, I think the channel that's been showing it here has stopped airing it now :(

Such an awesome show. The art is indeed wonderful, and the creator has a very good sense of visual style. I remember catching one episode where jack fought a ninja inside a tower at dusk, so everything was just shadows, so he wraps himself in white, and the next five to seven minutes of animation are just like seeing negative images and shadows battling. Great characters, too, i love the god that he summoned from the sky to help kill off these zombie-mummy-dog fellas. :o

I agree, I like this show. I love how there is not much needless dialog like most cartoons these days.

It's the only show by the creator that I love. Dexter and PPG make me vomit blood.

Fuck you for not liking Dexter and PPG. Pretty much anything by McCracken and his gang is good. Not that nuts about IM Weasel, though.

Samurai Jack is a good show, I like the story line and action and all that fun stuff. But it moves a little slow--like a good part of each episode would be Jack walking around in a cave or something avoiding traps. It's a good show, just not very entertaining.

I wasn't expecting to be all that entertained by the show, but when Re introduced me to it I couldn't draw myself away from watching. Now, along with her, I try not to miss an episode. Damned good show indeed.

I love that show >:
And I just don't understand how PPG and Dexter are funny. Then again this is coming from a guy who likes Ed, Edd and Eddy and Sitting Ducks :(

IM Weasel seems a bit too childish for me. As does Cow And Chicken. The characters do funny voices all the time, for cheap laughs I guess, IR always sniffs his finger and there's a devil with no pants. They need a squirell.
PPG and Dexter are funny--...I don't know why. They just are. :(
The only time I remember laughing at PPG was when they spoofed cereal. But Dexter had that one episode that was made by a kid--drawn, spoken, everything. It was funny. :(

Its pretty damn entertaining. I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode.
The only thing I don't like is that EVERY bad guy is a robot. It just seems like a cop-out so they won't have to show blood. In fact I know it is, but it still erks me. :/

Did anyone see the episode tonight with the house possessed by the dragon demon? The animation was absolutely fantastic. Far and above most other battle themed cartoons I've seen.

It's simply the most stylish show on television, put on top of a very cheesy framework plot (a time traveling samurai?). That's what I love about it; it takes an episode where the plot is about Jack visiting a Footlocker-reminiscent shoe store to get a new pair of sandals (I dare you to find cheesier), and turns it into something really cool through the animation and battles.
The end result is something that the mainstream will probably hate but will attract a strong core of people who appreciate its offbeat charm.
