Welcome to Now Playing!!! Today's shows are my attempt to smoosh Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim with the even more ancient TGIF on ABC. Thus, two shorter, mostly adult cartoons.
Over the Garden Wall summary:
In episode 1.3 "Schooltown Follies" of "Over the Garden Wall," Wirt, Greg, and their avian companion Beatrice find themselves entangled in the peculiar world of a schoolhouse populated by anthropomorphic animals. The narrative takes an unexpected musical turn with Greg taking center stage in the revelry, engaging in a song about "Potatoes and Molasses" much to the delight of the animal students.
Cowboy Bebop summary:
The crew of the Bebop head to a space station casino to try and make some money. Spike is told not to bring too much attention to himself by winning too much but attention comes anyway when he accidentally mixes two poker chips; one with a microchip hidden inside meant for an illegal sale. Faye Valentine, a wanted fugitive drowning in debt, gets captured by Jet and Spike but manages to escape the watchful eye of Ein. Though they lost one of their ships and the woman with the large bounty on her head, they narrowly avoided a double cross murder attempt with the dealer who wanted the microchip.
Have you watched either of these shows before? What did you think of these episodes?
