Crash Canyon

Lets get this out of the way first, aside from the various other cartoons it rips off, Crash Canyon is trying so hard to be Canada's Family Guy that it get very distracting.

The setting is very restricted. Being stuck down a canyon means this sitcom is stuck with the same situation which leads to the plots becoming very stale.

The jokes are the same as Family Guy: cutaways. And by the same I mean they use exact the same jokes as Family Guy. The worst thing is I think they know their humour isn't working so when they think the audience is supposed to laugh they put in an obnoxious musical cue. That's desperation.

The characters a bland. Again so many characters ripped off from Family Guy, Simpsons, American Dad, the list goes on.

And of all things the theme song is irritating beyond belief. So much high pitched singing!

Bottom line: It's crap. Limiting premise, failed jokes and poor animation. Wanna watch something exactly the same but funnier? Watch Family Guy.

Ah. Yes. Crash Canyon. I still remember in 2012, when people we're hyped by this oddity, because a Simpsons writer was involved, there was some though this show would be decent, but it seems that "Simpsons Writer" wasn't really as "good" as they though to be, because this show turned out into massive bull when it came out. Even so, i think teletoon was literally trying to get rid of this show after his original release, because there was no in-channel advertising and it was playing really late, uniquely.

Really. I may sound hysterical, but this literally makes shows like Fugget about It look worth while, compared to this. I still even regret starting this review and even paying attention to this show yet again, but there i did.

So many things to say about this already, from the awful writing, to the boring and predictable plots, to really ugly and bland design choices, to annoyingly awful voice acting, to all the characters that are oblivious bland copy and pastes of Seth McFarland trope characters, to finish with animation being as robotic and uninteresting that couldn't even compare to those amateur flash animation on the internet, but i'm not even going to bother to go further in details, thats how little i care. Everything about this show is simply wrong, and already, i probably don't need to specify, since i think people did some justice about this show before me.

So, to finish with, i'm glad Teletoon decided to get rid of this horrid monstrosity, it was a fault since the start, it deserved a 4.0 and even lower, and the people who made this clearly didn't have thoughts or even ideas clear on what they were dealing with. I rest my case.

I absolutely love this show. It is original, quirky and completely one of a kind. Everyone is quick to compare it to the Simpsons or other "similar shows"... Really, if you want something like The Simpsons, you will probably hate the heck out of this show. However, if you are looking for something that is a little whacked and very funny in a "WTF" type way, look no further! With such characters as Coma Steve and Dummy, it fills my need for slapstick, wordplay and torture (& tortured) humour all in one slap to the face. I do hope this show is around long enough to become a cult classic.

15 cult lovin' thumbs up!

Maybe as an Albertan I'm a little biased but I enjoyed this show, while also understanding it's pitfalls.

When it comes to comedy I enjoy outlandish characters, and in Crash Canyon there is a whole host of wild a goofy characters, and it's this shows greatest strengths, in fact I think this show does better than most when it comes or having a good cast of oddities. Every character is uniquely enjoyable, and there's very few shows I can say do that .Unfortunately, that's the show's only strength.

The animation is quite terrible, though I never minded it, but more egregiously no episode and a memorable plot. The setting was rather fun though.

I personally would've like to see more from this show as I value odd characters the most, but I'm not delusional: I understand why it was had a short shelf-life.

Crash Canyon is definitely not as bad as the series is often said to be. Sure, there are more than obvious bonds to Family Guy and American Dad, but the original premise is fun. Do you know the situation when episodes appeared in the aforementioned cartoon classics that you had hoped the series makers would devote themselves to the topic in more detail? Crash Canyon looks like the Canadians clearly have this need. The premise is funny and personable, but not exploited enough. Instead, stories from everyday life are told, as they could have happened outside of the canyon. The animations are satisfactory, but significantly less detailed than the American greats of the genre. The characters are paler, but still sufficiently amiable and about every third episode makes you laugh or at least smile. The series is really supported primarily by the premise. The intro is short and cool, so no idea why so much is being hacked into here. The same goes for the simple but suitable background music.
