westplainsmom Just a great cartoon with some lovable characters (and some HOT looking ones too!). A couple of detective getting into more trouble while trying their best NOT to get into too much trouble. The stories seem original and definitely hold your attention. Just think of Starsky and Hutch as detectives instead of cops, give them an attitude, add an orange car somewhat like KITT in Knight Rider, and inject that with some very crazy stories,...now you have Stroker and Hoop. I am not sure why it was not renewed. With the Simpsons going on the 28th season (yawn), it is time we get some new material. F is for FAMILY is a great start! But I do wish they would start up King of the Hill again. But I give this show an easy 10.

pistoleer Stroker and Hoop is, at first glance, yet another parody of the once-popular 'buddy cop' genre, which pits two disparate personalities against each other in serious situations, to provide either comic or dramatic results. As if you didn't know what a buddy cop film was. However, Stroker and Hoop goes beyond that, mixing a clever use of pop culture references, satire, and dark humor with a unique, independent animation design, professional-rate voice acting, and wit that stands independent of pop culture and satire. Stroker and Hoop's episodic quality contains some discontinuity, though not to an annoying degree -- such as in Family Guy. With a coherent plot and creative dialog, Stroker and Hoop provided viewers of adult swim's adult animation bloc with a clever, amusing, fresh series that would have been a much better choice to continue with. Characters such as 'Coroner Rick' and 'Double Wide' provide usually-competent assistance to the two bumbling, titular protagonists. Though giving a terrible face to the two, self-styled private detectives, they have redeeming qualities that round out their characters. The use of gore slapstick is not overdone, and often seems reminiscent of over-hyped action movies from the '80s. Dark humor rounds out a silly premise, with Coroner Rick often providing insensitive, yet witty, comments at the worst of situations. And let's not forget C.A.R.R., another example of pop culture parody, who is yet another character who goes deeper than his counterpart (K.I.T.T.) Though often generally unlikeable, all the characters who appear as static persons are sympathetic in some manner. It's a shame it was canceled.

stepp_asdf this is not new adult swim material, it's an old comedy central late night show. i don't know if they still do it, but CC used to have a late night animation block, granted it was not as good as adult swim, but still had clever and original material. i don't remember when it aired, but I'm pretty sure it was early 2004, shows like "Gary and Mike", "Dilbert", and a few others. I'm sure some of the shows can be found on torrent channels, or on DVD. i personally liked the block, but i can cope as long as there's still good shows on adult swim. eventually, adult swim will probably start showing every adult cartoon out there except south park.

MovieCriticMarvelfan Wow no one has commented on "Stroker and Hoop" CN Adult's Swim's new series that is very funny. This series like "Sealab 2021" and "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is very funny and comes loaded with satiritic references to American shows and fads.Stroker and Hoop (theyre not gay) are two private eyes who investigate cases. The first joke comes in the car called "CARR" which is essentially a spoof of "Knight Rider" with David Hasselhoff. These two nitwits first case invovles a missing girl.Well the laughs starts when the two see that the girl has been possessed by the Devil (like the Exorcist) and she then attacks and practically vomits on them. The two make a getaway but run her over !!When Stroker and Hoop go to the girl's parents house, they lie and stall not telling the parents the truth. They then take another case involve a school car wash that is handled by young nerdy girls with tights shorts. LOLWell you pretty much guess what happens next, although the robber dressed up as an Eskimo and the woman with a machine gun with two gold piercings on her breasts was original, Id say.It's interesting to see if the series last, since this is just a pilot, but seeing as how well the dvd of AdultSwim's hits are doing, "Stroker and Hooper" could have a long run.
