I just watched The Amazing Screw-On Head, a pilot that never went to series based on a one-shot Mike Mignola comic. Anyone else seen it?

I'm far from a steampunk connoisseur but it seemed pretty steampunkish to me... I'm not terribly familiar with Mike Mignola (I read a Hellboy comic at a friend's place once but other than that I haven't even seen the live-action movie adaptations) but I like his aesthetic and enjoyed the little bit of Hellboy I read.

Anyway, you can't really go wrong here: Paul Giamatti and David Hyde Pierce, Lovecraftian supernatural shit, Abraham Lincoln, a robot that somehow exists in the 1860s, and more (and better!) humour than I was expecting. I had no idea this was as much a comedy as anything else and was surprised by the quality of the humour, especially on Pierce's part.

Worth checking out, I'd say. Here's a link:

That was pretty entertaining. At first I really didn't like how ridiculous it was, but after they launched themselves out of that cannon I was laughing pretty much the rest of the show (also Emperor Zombie's "mine now" line had me rolling). The way Screw-On Head talked kind of reminded me of Dr. Orpheus from the Venture Bros.

I could see this on a late night slot on adult swim or something like that. Sucks that it won't happen though.
