this is an absurdist cartoon at it's best--while many fans may wish there were more than 15 minutes an episode...it makes sense that a show so devoid of "real meaning" would be doled out in palatable chunks. I disagree with most of the reviewers in that Meatwad is not incredibly stupid but simply an "every-man" while master shake is truly the fool---but also the most loveable. The key to understanding ATHF is summed up by a simple quote, "you see it? it's zhere." Buy the dvd.
