Fish Hooks

I saw the commercials for fish hooks and thought 'wow, it's just going to be another retarded show on Disney channel' I mean, with all of the ridiculous shows on there now, I wasn't surprised that they wouldn't put another bad one on. I hardly watch Disney channel in the first place so I didn't really mind. Then i was admitted into the hospital and one of the very few channels they have is the Disney channel, I watched the episode "Doris Florez Gorgeous" of fish hooks and it instantly became one of my favorite shows. I don't get what's with all the hate, it's not bad, give it a chance maybe? I think that a lot of the people who "hate" it, haven't really even given it much of it chance.

I love how simple and lighthearted but fun this show is, and I love how the jokes are actually funny and it isn't annoying unlike the other cartoons on Disney (where people just talk in high pitched voices and yelling all the time(boring)). Plus, at the end of the show you actually learn/re-learn something :P It's one of those shows that kids would like to watch and young-adults/adults would enjoy as well. The jokes are smart enough to even make 18-30 year-olds laugh.

Also, very nice animation! the way the characters move and the camera angles and techniques are nice. I like the texturing too, the mix of flat and lifelike/realistic. I honestly honestly like this show a lot, it's refreshing yet brings me back to the type of shows I liked as a kid - only better. :)

When I first saw the commercials for this I thought "Oh lord, they are going to follow up Phineas and Ferb with this?" My reaction changed a bit when I actually saw a few episodes, since they were actually funny. There are a lot of "huh?" moments but overall it's a step up from a lot of the junk Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are putting out there nowadays. My only vice with this show is the animation style, it looks cheaply done (the parts with the pet shop etc...) With time, I see this show growing on the people that initially hated it. It won't be as big a hit as Phineas and Ferb, but I see Fish Hooks being around for a while, especially with Hannah Montana (hopefully) ending soon.

Shellsea and Clamantha icons yas queen. I think they dropped something, my jaw the house down boots slay hunty! I wish they made spin offs with them, but i understand it would've been more iconic than people can handle right now.

Fish Hooks isn't a perfect show, but I like watching it. I don't mind the school related Plots since lots of TV shows have them. I think Milo, Oscar, and Bea are pretty well rounded characters bouncing off the world and people around them. The writing can get a bit stupid and the show didn't start super strong, but the show managed to be well written and entertaining all throughout. The show was originally focused more on comedy, but it became more character and story driven in later episodes, creating memorable episodes like "We've Got Fish Spirit", "Fish Prom", and "The Big Woo". The show isn't perfect, but I do like to watch it. I recommend watching this show with an open mind Abdul look more on the morality side of the show.
