Home Movies is a television treasure that
almost wasn't. After five episodes in 1999, the bright and sometimes brilliant
animated satire was yanked from UPN's schedule and was rescued by Cartoon
Network's late-evening "Adult Swim" programming, where it thrived for a few more
seasons. Created by Loren Bouchard and Brendon Small (who provides the
autobiographical voice of the show's 8-year-old hero, Brendon Small), Home
Movies concerns the angst-ridden adventures of a fatherless boy who can't
quite handle typical childhood challenges (school, sports) but, in his stumbling
way, is advancing toward his dream of becoming a filmmaker and actor. |
