Golan the Insatiable

The description of this show states that "Buffoonery ensues" from the premise for this show. Well, I don't know that I would call any of this "buffoonery".

The animation quality isn't all that great, but then neither is South Park. But South Park has better writers, and some hilarious situations. Golan is lucky to give you a laugh an episode. "Funny" is not the same as "absurd".

Golan also seems to be a bit schizophrenic about its style. There are a lot of bodily-function references, some leering at women, and a general contempt for the family that, for some reason, puts up with this "visitor". But it has relatively mild language, perhaps in the hope that it will be suitable for family viewing. Somehow, I don't think it is going to be a major threat to "The Simpsons" in that department.

Sorry, Golan, but you should go back to that alternate universe from whence you came -- and don't let the door hit you on your ample backside on the way out.

"Golan the Destroyer" is not among my very favorite cartoons on "Animation Domination", but it is still quite enjoyable (I prefer "Axe Cop" and "High School USA"). The show is about a demon who's been tossed onto the Earth to live with a clueless human family. Their strange Goth daughter instantly bonds with Golan and becomes his willing servant. They have a variety of adventures that show that Golan is a jerk--but a mostly harmless one despite his bluster and threats to destroy mankind.

The animation for this one is decent but unremarkable. What makes it good is that it is creative and very unique. Sometimes I find myself laughing and enjoying it simply because it is so strange and wrong! Well worth seeing for strange viewers--'normals' will probably just find it all too weird and confusing.

Season 1 worked well with it short 10min episodes style.

Season 2 is a disaster with it 22 min episodes that have the same content in some episodes then the the previous season, a bad move as they dont feel as snappy and try to spoon fed the viewers.

So watch season 1 weird season .

Skip season 2 .

This show was funny and needs to come back. So many people have wrote negative reviews about this show which I don't agree with. Yeah, it is a little different and it is a little twisted but that is what makes the show not only good but unique. People need not to judge so fast. Look at the show Family Guy, it aired, people judged, they stopped airing the show, and then years later it aired again and is now on it's 14th season with very high ratings. Golan could have done the same thing if people weren't so quick to judge and just opened their minds a little. I know that I am disappointed and sad that this show wasn't given a chance and I will miss watching it. Bring Golan Back!!!!!!!!! **AZJETSFAN**

Season 2 feels like it is trying to be more modern to appeal to a more jokey and 'zany' cartoon style. Much atuned to Family Guy. Releasing season 2 as a whole new season even though they are basically the same episodes as season 1 was really lame.

Season 1 was more original, had an identity that was its own. The art style was just great. The jokes were more unpredictable and darker.
