Kevin Spencer

What a hilarious show this is! Its easily one of the funniest cartoons on TV these days. Its obviously mature and the animation makes "South Park" look like Disney's "Tarzan", plus the main character never utters a word, but what I can say? Its a hoot.

The show basically breaks down like this. Kevin Spencer is a really screwed up teenager who's family is so dysfunctional, they make the Connors on "Roseanne" look like "The Brady Bunch". Many members of Kevin's family (Kevin included) have been in and out of prison more times than Martin and Charlie Sheen combined. In fact, that was the original point of the series. Kevin would tell stories (through flashbacks. He doesn't talk, remember?) to a prison psychiatrist while serving his life sentence that show just how demented he truly is. What's more, he abuses cough syrup, smokes like a chimney, and takes advice from a magic goose named Allen that lives inside his head. What's not to like?

What I like most about "Kevin Spencer" is how at first glance, it resembles a children's show, with its childish drawings and deadpan narrator. Of course nothing could be the further from the truth. This is NOT a children's cartoon. Its vulgar, violent, profane, and I love every minute of it. Even though Kevin got paroled after the first season, the show is still funny as he continues his reign of terror at home and on the streets. Another thing I like about the show; unlike other shows about family dysfunction such as "Titus", not once does "Kevin Spencer" try to come off as realistic. Kevin's family doesn't kiss and make up at the end of an episode. In fact, an episode is more likely to end in a police raid on the Spencer's house or with Percy (Kevin's dad) knocking over a liquor store just to buy smokes.

The show's first season has just been released on VHS and DVD ("WOW! Those ugly drawings are now digital!!!!") and if you ever see it at your local video store, I urge you to check it out. Unless you hate this kind of comedy (I call it South Park-esque), you will not be disappointed

Rating: 4 stars ****

this is another canadian comedy gem. it's hilarious, and the drawings are so bad!! Kevin and his father Percy Spencer easily make Bart and Homer look like dweebs! you'll have to see the show to see what i mean. the first season was the best tho; it's gotten a little glossy since. but it's still kevin spencer - he's a chain smokin' alcoholic sociopath!

This show is different than many shows I watch. It's simple animation with crazy, funny and entertaining story lines.

It's about a dysfunctional family that commit crimes, drink a lot, smoke a lot and engage in insane activities.

It's mainly from the son Kevin's point of view. He's the main character of the show even though he never says a single word.

I can't read my explain why I like watching it so much. Some episodes are so ridiculous but are still fun to watch.

Kevin's parents, Percy and Anastasia, aren't very good parents but there are some episodes where they do care about him.

I like that the episodes are long and there are more than just a couple of seasons. I like binge watching this show.

Funny & ridiculous; I had my whole circle stuck on Kevin Spencer until Netflix decided to take it away.

Absolutely better than the Simpsons.

Not a children's show. Adult Swim should consider airing Kevin Spencer.

It makes it hilarious that they do all kinds of pills, they drink ridiculous stuff that isn't even real alcohol, yet they talk about weed as if it's this bad drug..lol .

The only people who are offended by Kevin Spencer, are those who lived a similar childhood, but if you had fun growing up, this show is suuuper funny.

I liked this show a lot, If you like Southpark or Simpsons you'll like this....It has a little bit of both with a couple cuss words a lot of drinking..minor nudity..and a strip club named The Cameltoe Inn...lol Now thats funny I don't care who you are...lol. The show is about a Canadian family that is on welfare.The father is a drunk aways trying to get something for nothing and ripping something off to get more money for smokes and beer. The mom is a drunk and a hoe, she'll sleep with anyone, even the bartender to settle bills. Kevin the son is a sociopath,smokes gets drunk on beer or prescription cough syrup... This is not a children's cartoon!!! I really liked it a lot..
