Adventure Time is a wonderful show - one of my favorites. The universe/lore is pretty complicated, chock-full of some iconic characters, and neatly packaged philosophy - e.g. Hall of Egress.

Yeah. Dala and I stopped watching it after we gave up cable. It's on Hulu now though, so I'm going through the whole thing.

There's a lot to it and sometimes I'm surprised at how mature some of the subjects it covers can be (even if it is kidified). I think one of the things I like most about it though, is that it comes up with wild and creative characters and environments for viewers to enjoy but grounds them enough through pseudo-nostalgia and familiar themes so that they can be novel without overwhelming.
