 THE HIGH HAT | STATIC: Adult Swim in the Stream of Consciousness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Likewise, there are moments in almost all the Williams Street shows that seem designed to push even the biggest fans to the edge of their tolerance.
There’s the episode of “Sealab 2021” that consists of nothing but a scene-for-scene showing of an old episode of the action cartoon from the ’60s on which the show is based; it goes on and on and on, as the audience waits for the joke that (almost) never comes.
Much more in the vein of “SC:C2C” was the next offering from Williams Street, “Sealab 2021.” Like “Space Ghost,” it was a detourned version of an old ’60s action show by Alex Toth; like “Space Ghost,” it used bare-bones animation — often nothing more than loops and cycles from the ’60s show.

 Williams Street and Cartoon Evolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The June issue of Washington Monthly has a long piece on the evolution of animated cartoons, using the Cartoon Network's Williams Street studios (creators of Adult Swim fare like Sealab 2021 and Aqua Teen Hunger Force) as the latest model for intelligent, innovative TV animation.
The article recaps the advancement of cartoons from the days of Tex Avery and Chuck Jones working in the Warner Brothers back lot during the 1940s and 50s, Hanna-Barbera's groundbreaking (and cheap) work with limited animation techniques on TV cartoons in the 60s, up through The Simpsons and Adult Swim block today.
It's interesting how Williams Street has built such an incredible following with shows designed to be as cheap as possible; with computer animation, repurposing of old shows (like Sealab), and in-house voice talent, they can create new episodes quickly without the benefit a large staff or outsourcing the art to a foreign country.
