So I'm three years late. What of it?

Recently, I was treated by a good friend to a DVD called The Amazing Screw-On Head. Apparently, I was remiss in 2006 by missing this - Hellboy creator Mike Mignola came up with this one, an animated series inspired by his one-shot comic of the same title. It's similar to Hellboy's organization, the BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research & Defense to the uninitiated) but takes place further back in time.

It's good, solid steampunk, but it takes place in the U.S. rather than the U.K., as much steampunk does. Paul Giamatti voices the Screw-On Head, a secret agent investigating the occult for President Lincoln - yes, Honest Abe. David Hyde-Pierce takes voiceover duties for Emperor Zombie, Head's nemesis.

It's surrealistic, it's dark comedy - it's just freaking great. And it was only one episode. The hell? Sci-Fi, you let the updated Flash Gordon abomination run for an entire season, but only let a pilot episode of this show slip through your fingers? Cartoon Network - Adult Swim needs this in their lineup. Take another look.
