The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show

This show is bad in my opinion because it does not stay focused on what's going on, it goes back to the show, then it goes back to the main story of the episode. This is a terrible show for me.

1/10

Though I'd never watched the original series, I enjoyed the movie that came out last year enough to want to check out the new Netflix original series. Unfortunately, this was one of the most boring half hour shows I've watched in a long time. It's a never a good sign when you start looking at your watch only ten minutes in. The only positive thing I can say about it is the animation has a cute, old school charm that recalls the nostalgic spirit of the cartoons I grew up with, but nothing else works. The jokes are flat and unfunny. The characters are totally forgettable. In the pilot episode, Mr. Peabody and Sherman are trying to put on their first show but keep getting distracted by nosy, annoying neighbors, all while traveling through time in the WEYBAC to meet historical figures like Napoleon Bonaparte. If any of this was funny, it wouldn't matter that the story line is over the place. I've only watched the first of thirteen episodes but will not be watching the rest and have removed the series from my Netflix watch list.

The 2014 film "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" is without a doubt, one of the best DreamWorks films of all time along with Captain Underpants, Trolls, and the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. Not only that, but also one of my favorite animated movies of all time. The Netflix series, "The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show" is...let me cut to the chase real quick. The style of this show is so freaking great to look at, it really reminds me of the similar art style of classic Cartoon Network shows like Samurai Jack. The humor is beyond wacky and fun and the animation is really good, yet some of the humor and writting is a bit too much and a bit obnoxious. Some of the writing of the show is also unique and the characters like Mr. Peabody and Sherman are really good, sometimes they act sort of unusual. It's a shame that Penny Peterson (from the movie) didn't make an appearance in the show, but I digress. (Seriously, Penny Peterson is obviously one of my favorite characters. She's cute, she's voiced by Ariel Winter who played Alex Dunphy from Modern Family and she reminds me of Cindy Vortex from Jimmy Neutron.) This Netflix cartoon sort of work for, thought the some of the jokes felt a bit dull and the way the characters act sometimes. It's not my favorite but I'm giving this a 6.5/10

I used to watch Mr Peabody and Sherman on the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon on some VHS tapes. This show is a mockery and doesn't reflect anything other than a group of "artists" pushing out sub-par quality cartoons to meet their deadline.

They have characters singing out of context, bounce back and forth between topics and the show is rather difficult to follow.

Another problem in comparison to keeping an education cartoon are the side show characters who have nothing more to contribute than ridiculous skit.

They switch between singing, conversation, side shows and have no continuity, consider this show a bust!

They should pull the show, they've just ruined P&S for a whole new generation.

From an iCON to a barely decent movie to THESE!!

This show should not have been made.

What can be learned? Don't reinvent the wheel

Verdict: Pea brain show.
