SheZow

Overall the quality of this animate show is decent, but nothing to write home about, although the over use of bad puns can definitely turn away many viewers. It's the controversial theme of a 12 year old boy wearing girl clothes that's most notable about this show, and as such is primarily the focus at many points in the show.

Since this show is aimed at children, who most likely wouldn't mind the excess of puns it succeeded in it's goal of being a decent kids show, but unlike other animated shows who can capture a child and adult audience, this will have a harder time capturing an audience of anyone other than 5-11 year old's.

I personally enjoyed the show.. I think it's a show that kids will enjoy because of the concept of how Shezow came to be...Also because many kids can relate to many situations where they touched something they shouldn't have which resulted in some kind of consequence..The way that the brother tries to also become a super hero & reinvents himself each episode is exciting & interesting within itself. They will not get caught up in the controversy surrounding it because they won't see it as a trans gender show. They'll just see it as funny.. Great job to the writers on taking this risk although the negativity surrounding it is not warranted. Good luck on a successful venture...

I really like Shezow. What's not to like. Lets remember who the target audience is, first of all; it is my daughter and her friends, not me. And She loves it. The colors are catchy and the jokes are cute. But what I really like about it is that I think ideally, it teaches tolerance and embraces the fact that there are no absolutes. Sometimes I feel I am putting on my "male" super power ring, when I have to do certain tasks, that does not make my any less a woman... but I digress. My kid and her friends crack up when they watch it and I think they do use their imaginations when they watch SheZow, imagining themselves to be super too.

I enjoy Shezow immensely! It starts off pretty slow and full of puns, so if that's not your thing, take heart that it eases up a little as it goes on. I really enjoy how Guy grows as a person through becoming Shezow, and I think this is a really important thing to have on-air. For me, the core of Shezow is the ability to find personal power through stereotypically feminine things, no matter your gender. The way that this show ends up handling that is wonderful. Where some other shows might stray down the path of being preachy, Shezow lets viewers grow as Guy does. His breaking out of rigidly masculine socialization feels natural, rather than forced for effect. It lends an air of freedom of personal expression to the show, and is something I am SO grateful to see on television.

In addition to all that, the show is hysterical! Pun-heavy humor calms down after the first few episodes as a better sense of Guy and his friends, family, and hometown develops. There are some colorful characters, especially the array of villains Shezow encounters. This may feel a little contrived in that it pokes fun at the over-the-top superhero genre, but there are also genuinely funny lines and interactions that shine in my memory. The amount of fun the show has with itself comes across clearly to viewers, and the result is a super delightful cartoon.

The fact that a 12 year boy cannot save the world unless he's in a pink costume meant for a female superhero is quite hilarious. And the fact that he will have to learn to embrace this embarrassing side-effect might actually be something good for kids to see. Maybe this is a cartoon who's time has come.

I found it entertaining and clever, and I think kids will find it funny. The characters are likable and the villains are funny. There are a lot of so-so kids cartoons out there - at least this one is unique.

If conservatives have a problem with it, I hope they actually WATCH it before they judge, because it's really quite innocent. I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes.
