Acting
Squidbillies is an animated television series about the Cuylers, an impoverished family of anthropomorphic hillbilly mud squids living in the Appalachian region of Georgia's mountains. The show is produced by Williams Street Studios for the Adult Swim programming block of Cartoon Network and premiered on October 16, 2005. It is written by Dave Willis, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Jim Fortier, previously of The Brak Show, both of whom worked on the Adult Swim series Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The animation is done by Awesome Incorporated, with background design by Ben Prisk.
A cartoon superhero interacts with live guests via his television set in this parody talk show based on 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Space Ghost.
In this spin-off of "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast," sidekick Brak goes through a series of bizarre circumstances in his daily suburban life with his alien mom and Cuban dad.
The dimwitted host gets the chance to sing a heart-warming duet with R&B singer Monica, ride down a country road in an ol' pick-up truck singing the tune "Highway 40" with teen film star Freddie Prinze Jr. and even dance a jig with world famous Celtic folk band The Chieftains.
Adult Swim Brain Trust (also known as Anime Talk Show) is an animated television special that aired on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, on November 4, 2004. Anime Talk Show revolved around the unofficial pilot for Squidbillies, however many people consider it the very last episode of Space Ghost, as it follows exactly the same format of the show, with Space Ghost interviewing guests. The short was dubbed "Anime Talk Show" due to it following the premiere of Perfect Hair Forever, which aired in place of what was supposed to have been the premiere of Squidbillies.
