Uncle Grandpa

When I saw this show on a commercial back in summer 2013, I had high hopes for it...when it was released, it was bad. BUT, the show has gotten much better. People shouldn't look for the bad episodes of a series, they should look for the good ones, and this show has a lot of both. I really didn't like Belly Bros. too much, but I really liked the internet troll episode.

So, is the show perfect? Far from it.

Is it good or at least worth it? Absolutely. At least see some episodes of the show before you decide to base your opinion based off of all the hate the show gets.

I was lucky to get Cartoon Network as a kid and I loved Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken and I Am Weasel. Uncle Grandpa is the next logical step in the evolution of silliness. I really love the whole concept of this show. It's the first show whose point is it's pointlessness. The gags are so incredibly bad that they're brilliant again. The characters have a great dynamic and the voice actors are really well-cast. The shows art is also very unique and artistic. While shows like "Adventure Time" try to tell a message and make people think, which annoys me quite a lot, Uncle Grandpa is all about fun and the celebration of stupidity. I hope this show continues for a long time and stay true to it's pointlessness.

I am 48 and get this show. I think it confuses a lot of adults, which is weird because there is plenty for adults to like. Yeah, the name is a little off putting but I believe it's an either/or type name. He's either an uncle or a grandpa to kids. (I would think.) It's Mr. Gus by the way and not Glen the Dinosaur. This show is great in that it challenges children' views of reality and to not limit your imagination. I've seen that quite a few adults do not like this program, but it's not for you. I don't choose my children' shows as long as it's not an adult cartoon. Uncle Grandpa is one of their favorites that they DVR. (Is that a verb now?)

(Note: First actual review on site) Uncle Grandpa. A name that is so familiar to many Cartoon Network viewers. A show that utilizes surreal humour for laughs. Why does it get so much hate? People have been saying that the show is bad and it isn't such a gem. But, I would like to give insight as to why people will like UG. First, comedy. This is where I feel that the show is average, because although some people might like it, the humour is really hit or miss for me. I think that the episodes' and thus the show's strongest points are its good messages. Each episode (after Season 1) always leaves a good taste in my mouth due to its viewpoint on society and its surprisingly good (in my opinion) social commentary. Speaking of Season 1, this is where the episodes were abysmal, and that the characters were nothing but jerks and stereotypes. Which leads to my fourth point, that people really should stop hating on it, all because they watched S1E1 'Belly Bros' which most UG fans I think would agree is not a very fleshed out episode. But I feel personally that UG has come a long way. So any future people who watch uncle grandpa on your own terms, watch at least Season 2 or 3. Season 1 episodes do not feel well thought out and are half baked. Thus, I give UG a 7/10 for being weird yet relatable and improving over the course of 4-ish years.

I love the surreal humor and wacky characters! My favorite parts are when Uncle grandpa does physically impossible stuff but no one says anything about it. He's like a demi god or an SCP and this show is highly amusing.
