So, if Season 1 of Frisky Dingo was directionless, Season 2 seemed utterly pointless. Things looked promising initially when, for whatever reason, Killface and Awesome X both decided to run for President. For most of the season - probably eight or nine episodes - this was the main focus. But then with only about half an hour of season remaining, that subplot was dropped entirely and the focus shifted to a gigantic mutant half-ant fetus. Huh? The season (and series) ended with Awesome X and Killface being abducted by aliens. Apparently a spin-off was made in which Awesome X's crew - the "X-tacles" - tried to adjust to life without their leader or their antagonist, but Adult Swim scrapped it after just two episodes, neither of which was included on this DVD. Will I go out of my way to watch those twenty-two minutes of additional irreverence? Maybe, but I'm certainly in no rush to do so. I guess Frisky Dingo was just another Adult Swim show. I mean, it was better than the average Adult Swim show, but it was just as zany and quirky, which is a good or a bad thing depending on what your own personal tastes are. I didn't hate this show at all, and I would definitely watch many of the episodes again, but it just didn't live up to the bar set by Sealab 2021 and Archer. That said, what show could have?
