Chicago Party Aunt

Diana showed us that she does have a heart and will do anything in her power to set things right for them. I'm also dead serious that this should replace The Mighty B on Nick rewind. Cause this show is an underrated classic. The Mighty B (pleas do not get offended by what I'm going to call it, it's true anyways) is a short-lived critical and commercial failure. Diana is everything Bessie should've been.

Man, you would not BELIEVE the amount of backlash this show got when it was first announced. When the first images of the show were released online, people VERY quickly attacked this show for (aside from this being based off of a Twitter account) being a "generic adult animated comedy", which I always hated the stereotype of. The stereotype that "all adult cartoons look the same" and that "Family Guy is to blame for the downfall of modern adult animation", which is NOT true, by the way. There are plenty of good adult cartoons out there, you guys just aren't looking hard enough. And yes, adult toons with "that" art-style can be really funny at times (i.e. Disenchantment, Duncanville, Final Space etc.). Come on, guys. Be fair for once.

Oh, and about Chicago Party Aunt. It's alright. It's not amazing but it occasionally has its moment or 2. There's not really that more to say about it. 6.7/10.

I loved this series! If you lived through the Mike Ditka era in Chicago you would get the jokes. It is spot on with life in Wrigleyville during the time when it was the center of entertainment in the city. The Cubbies and the Bears ruled. All of the other Chicago teams were an afterthought.

Diane's love of Chicago made me smile and remember my days in college when pub crawls through the neighborhoods of the city were like an Olympic sport. I had friends whose parents were just like Diane. Any Cubs game was a reason to party and tailgating at the Bears game was a family affair.

Loved this show. Wish they had more episodes. Maybe a spinoff with Mikey's college years at DePaul University would be a good idea.

I can't believe the haters who didn't get the humor. They truly missed out.

...Because if it was anywhere else it would've been cancelled after its first episode.

Another bland, flat, and uninteresting animated sitcom about a human train wreck and the more common sensed people in their life who try to keep her from going even further off the deep end. Where have I seen this before? Oh, right, almost everywhere else in a comedy, animated or live-action. Maybe this sort of show would have done well 20 years ago, but this kind of content is so common-place these days there really isn't anything new to offer for the viewer.

BEWARE - See at your own risk.

I expressed disdain at the show when it was announced, mainly for being based on a Twitter gimmick account (yes, really) and for having that samey adult animation style. I finally watched it, and it's surprisingly not bad.

I'm not from Chicago, so take my opinions here with a grain of salt.

Voice Acting - 2/2. You can't go wrong with Lauren Ash. I loved her as Scorpia in She-Ra, and she brings a lot of life to Diane.

Characters - 1/2. Diane is a hard-drinking, partying hedonist with a disheveled lifestyle. When her nephew comes to live with her, the show sets up an arc about learning to care for others. Pretty interesting.

Writing - 1/2. Again, you'll only really appreciate it if you're from Chicago yourself.

Animation - 1/2. Yet another show with the generic adult animation art style. Like with The Harper House, you could make this into a live action sitcom and nothing would change.

Music - 1/2. The rock soundtrack is great, but it's another victim of the lack of a theme song and a generic title card intro.
