Avis à la une
I came across this show while channel surfing and found it on a cable channel I can not name.I was not sure what to to think because I had never heard of of before. The first episode I saw was "rock and Roll Zombies know best". I could not believe what I was watching. This show had me hooked! After that I hit the web and trekked down the entire first season. All I can say is that this show is brilliant! Some episode are slow, such as the giant baby one, but in total this is very entertaining, funny, and just damn great. I am ticked that there is no way for me to see the originals in all there uncensored glory! The FCC and whack job parents groups would all have heart attacks if some one tried to bring this show to America. I wish that American TV could put something like this out there. I was glad to see that there was a 2nd season approved, so I will be waiting to some how get to see them. I would say that this has great promise of some how becoming a feature film. I would go see it if they did that. If you want to be entertained watch this show. If you do not give this a chance then "You are as smart as a monkey, and sadly not one of the smart monkeys"
I first saw Todd with very skeptical eyes, The trailers admittedly do not look great at all. Within the first 5 minutes i was cursing myself for not getting on the series sooner, as with all good shows i watched all 13 eps back to back.
The show is brilliant. Catered for more then heavy metal fans Todd goes all out on the 1980 horror scene with brilliant plastic animation or stop animation whatever you like to class it as. The show is witty and face paced. You do not expect some of the endings which is nice for a Teen based comedy now days as everything is becoming so dran its just hard to watch a lot of titles due to the cheese content.
You will be happy to hear this title is CHEESLESS yes no annoying cheese coating this one. This is pure brilliant comedy. Stoners this is one for you, (if you don't have weed to watch it with get some it will annoy u without due to the massive references in there).
The cast is brilliant Jason Mewes aka Jay is an excellent addition, The main guy you can actually relate to and doesn't seem like he gives a rat's ass about anything but weed. This is brilliant because we know if we were in high school all we would care about is weed.
Im rating this a 10 as it blatantly is. All i have to say to you is this.
If you don't control German herpes
German herpes will control you.
Get on this show already You are missing OUT!

Crowley* is a town founded by Satanists {perhaps "LaVey" would have been better}, containing a grimoire {of pure evil} which grants the darkest wishes of those it presents itself to, leading to so many deadly situations when their dark side manifest. Though it retains balance as in "seeing how the other half lives", through the personification of that sought for. Had more reasonable application been applied, this would be a very useful tool.
Similarly, the "Magic Pages Spell" from Dracomeroth details the ritualistic process by which to write one's reality with Magically charged scenarios.
The book itself is a work of 'black art', featuring a carved pentagram with a skeletal cornu hand in the center upon what could very well be human skin. Upon reading the latincantation, the book mobilizes to fulfill the desire, often with an ironic twist. Upon granting the reader's wishes, swiftly returns to Hell when the host is unsuitable.
A purported town founded by Satanists has been discussed by LaVey, which would be a province comprised of total environments. Baphomet sigils are replete herein, from the amusingly customized school logo, to literal plaques adorning veritable ritual chambers.
Mr. Atticus Murphy Jr. Is the school guidance councilor, who seeks the book for his High Priest father of "The Council". Shades of Corbis here.
Todd {metalhead tantamount to "devil dave", resembling T. Reznor}, Curtis {wears a metal arm, reminds of Shogun Warriors}, Jenny {sexy brunette}, & Hannah {attractive nerd girl} comprise a group of students trying to contain the tome's influence, barely managing to reverse the effects through a series of misadventures. Shirts spotted are Children of Bodom, Municipal Waste, and several others.
The "Deathbangers" hanging out in the parking lot, seem to know a whole lot about the underpinnings and shenanegans. There is a strange correlation with Jimmy The janitor {played by Jason Mews} who lives at the school, seemingly unable to leave, makes the most of it complete with recreational activities, including ladies.
Herein 2 seasons, there's everything from homunculi {demonic incarnation of primal impulses}, zombies, fat monsters, giant babies, to ghosts, The Phantom {a "metal musical"}, plant creatures {weakan fantasy}, a Dungeons & Dragons adventure {total immersion!}, an invisible deviant, a killer penis monster, a succubus, and much more. Many times with actual occult concepts worked in.
Fun for fete diaboli & party fair.
_____________ * Presumably named after Aleister Crowley, who for the record, was not an actual Satanist, but a ceremonial magician who founded the religion of Thelema.

I got to start out by saying that I love the loser comments tossed in repeatedly by Eddie. Oh, but I am getting ahead of myself...
Based solely on the name of the show, I bought season 1 and 2 from Amazon, without having any clue what this was about. And once I received the DVDs, I went straight into a "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" marathon. One episode just spurs on the next, and so on and so on. It is a bit difficult to just sit down and watch a single episode without craving more.
Why? Well, because each episode is unique in its own right. A new story, that fits nicely into an overall plot. And throughout each episode, you will see a familiar familiar from previous episodes here and there, if you pay close attention. But also, there are so many hidden references to other things to be found. This is really all about paying attention to the details, and as such, then each episode easily supports more than a single viewing.
Now, the story is about stoner-metalhead Todd Smith (played by Alex House), his friends Curtis Weaver (played by Bill Turnbull), Hannah B. Williams (played by Melanie Leishman) and Jenny Kolinsky (played by Maggie Castle) who all attend Crowley High where a book most vile and wicked, nay, a book of pure evil, lurks to wreck havoc and destruction by luring its appeal to the needy, the social misfits, the outcasts and those who strive for more than they have. The school councilor Atticus Murphy Jr. (played by Chris Leavins) oversees the mysterious happenings and wants to grasp the book of pure evil for his own Satanic needs. Stoner janitor Jimmy (played by Jason Mewes) is always around to lend a hand to the students of Crowley High.
It would be a too long and tedious task (and read) to go into detailing every single episode. But to put it shortly, then the episodes are fun, exciting and full of mayhem. There is something for just about everyone to be found here in this series.
So, why am I only rating this a 7 out of 10? Well, because the book manages to elude the gang in each single episode, and it started to become tedious towards the end. Sure, it was held afloat by variation and diversion, not to mention the comedy, acting and great effects. But essentially it started to become a play-and-repeat mockery of itself.
The characters in the series are really nice. They are well thought through and have a lot of personalities and depths, which really helps the show along nicely. My personal favorites are Atticus - Chris Leavins just nails it so well, and Hannah. And I should say that amongst my favorites were also Eddie (played by Norman Yeung) with his 'loser' comment in every sentence.
"Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" is fun and exciting. Well worth a watch if you enjoy a bizarre mix of comedy and horror. And, oh wait did I forget to mention it? Musical! Yeah, each season had a single episode done as a musical.

When I first saw this show, I was at my buddies and he had the space channel on. We weren't really paying any attention to what was on the t.v at the time, but there just happened to be a Todd and The Book of Pure Evil marathon on, but again we weren't really paying attention. Once we ran out of things to talk about, my gaze fell to the screen in-front of me. At first I thought it was YTV we were watching, because it was very obvious that it was Canadian made show(LOVE YOU CANADA) and it was based around a few high school kids, which didn't click in "ADULT SHOW" at first. BUT THEN.......I heard a magical curse word and my ears started to perk up, then there was a ridiculous amount of blood and my eyes widened, then I found Todd and the Book of Pure Evil...This show is absolutely hilarious, and full of bad jokes, blood and gore, and everything else that makes a good Canadian slasher comedy...oh yeah and Jason Mewes was a bonus...this show is classically ronchie and I love it. I think anyone who enjoys politically incorrect topics and swearing with excessive cheese would give this a GOLD! If it made me laugh 13 episodes straight, I say Amen!
