The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show

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.

A few years earlier, the film Mr. Peabody and Sherman was released in theaters. Like all films based on segments of the 1960s Rocky and Bullwinkle show, the film flopped at the box office, even though its revenue was greater than its budget. Nevertheless, the film's positive reception was enough to inspire the creation of this TV show.

Unlike the film which uses 3D cgi, the TV show uses 2G cgi. But that's okay. Sherman here sounds younger than his 1960s counterpart but it still fits the character. There's also a bit of quirkiness on how some of the characters act but that's common to animated shows with classic cartoonish nature. When animated cartoons first hit the screen decades ago, they were originally adaptations of comic characters.

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

I watch this show constantly because of my daughter. While I agree with one of the negative reviews about the first episode being a bit boring, the show gets much better as it goes along. I think the point of the show is that its supposed to be a variety show and therefore, all over the place. I find it fine to follow. So does my daughter. And any humor that appeals to adults will fly over a kid's head.

Streamed a second time while recovering from surgery and enjoyed it quite a bit more than first viewing. Other reviewers disliked the "variety" show theme, but once you understand the concept it is not hard to follow. The side characters: Christine, the neigbors, the pet mammoth all become more charming...and Mr. Peabody's parents are hilarious!!! The animation is crazy good and the color pallettes are to die for. Love how all the strokes are not black, but a deep navy-purple which really helps the colors pop. Would love to take a color theory class from the artists. In the meantime, I've screen-grabbed many of my favorite color combinations. Give the show a second chance....I think you will give it a higher rating.
