Unsupervised

I think this show is wonderful. I am a big fan of Justin Long and Kristen Bell and also a fan of "Archer" and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia." I couldn't believe when I read all the negative reviews. The animation goes great with the shows premise and I find the show to be hilarious as well as easy to watch again. The shows satirist view on inner city youth is not only funny, but shines a light on a real issue, "unsupervised" teenagers growing up in the city. Being from the city myself, I enjoy the shows graffiti-ish animation. I look forward to a second and hopefully many seasons to come. I will be disappointed if the show is snubbed for it's "off beat style of comedy" and is canceled due to lack of popularity.

So if you have read the other reviews, you can tell that this is one of those "either you love it or hate" shows. I enjoy it immensely although it is not without its shortcomings. Pros: The two main characters are naive and incredibly likable. The voice acting is superb, the secondary characters are solid as well. The stories themselves are original, humorous, and lighthearted; as are the jokes. Cons: It takes some time getting used to the characters and their situations. The plot sometimes either takes too long to develop or it never fully matures.

You can't make a judgement on just watching one episode and it takes a few viewings to get into the story. I did not add this show to my DVR recordings until after 4 episodes. I would like to see how the characters develop in the future.

Unsupervised is a great show, its not like Beavis and Butthead, all the characters are more complex and have their own distinct personalities and issues to deal with. Some episodes (like any show) are better than others but overall i find myself laughing at this show a great deal. The voices and animation are solid, not mind blowing but look what southpark did with their animation. All in all i really hope this show gets a second season, just cause its positive and about kids growing up doesn't mean it should be attacked by people that mostly just hate Always Sunny; you do need to have some kind of connection to your childhood to fully appreciate the show.

The first few episodes have been tolerable, and actually IMO, funnier than MTV's similarly themed 'Good Vibes'. It is hard to judge a show so early, I remember lots of people disliked Archer at first, too(Thompson and Reed, as in creators of Archer, Sealab, and Frisky Dingo, are producers on Unsupervised- they know comedy, people). I, for one, will be tuning in, if for no other reason than to kill time waiting for Archer. The voice cast is pretty solid, and they seem to be taking Archer's lead and making it a much more grown up version of a cartoon show about kids. I really like how positive the kids are despite their terrible conditions...it is pretty refreshing.

I had to write a quick review because I was blown away at some of the completely exaggerated negative reviews by some.

Going in, I had no huge expectations, but I like the list of voice actors and producers, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. I think it is somewhat accurate when people say it's almost like a 'feel-good' Beavis & Butthead story; but I like it! I think Hornsby and Long do well to make the viewer like their playfully ignorant characters.

To me, the main things that stood out after watching to first few episodes were likable and interesting characters, but also the animation. I know some have been negative about the animation, but I was personally blown away by it. I definitely think it is one of the highlights of the show.

All in all, it's definitely worth watching the first few episodes. I know after I did, I immediately put 'Unsupervised' on my DVR and can't wait until the next episode!
