The Awesomes

I have to admit, I'm unsure who the target audience is, and maybe I'm exactly who it was made for, but I think this is great. As a longtime superhero fan, and a gamer (and admittedly a superhero RPG player), I think they nailed the misfit Hero concept pretty comfortably. I agree with the other review (there's only one at the time I'm writing this) that it could be edgier, and it could probably be made to appeal more broadly (how many viewers have ever participated in a tabletop Superhero themed RPG, really?), but unless it's trying to be, or compete with Family Guy, it's probably OK with what it is.

I can't see the show being around long, which is the biggest reason I didn't give it a higher review. I think it would be a bigger hit if, honestly, there were less focus on Prock, and a decent bit more about each member of the team, and if they could isolate a target audience. That's why Drawn Together worked, despite being seen as crude, sick, stupid, and random (in my unabbreviated opinion). They knew who their audience was.

I hope the writers read this. I would love to see The Awesomes stick around.

I liked that this show is trying to be it's own thing, It's edgy but does not overdue it, like The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park,American Dad to name a few. Most certainly not for kids, even though it's not overly vulgar, the show is for adults. basically spoofing Justice League, The Avengers, and X-Men. The humor mostly on the superhero foul ups, and the funny issues of the characters. I'm surprised that this is not on Adult Swim, it's a very funny show, and enjoyable. It's proof you don't have to count on gross out gags to be funny. That's what animated shows started to depend on lately. The animation is pretty descent, not high art. I really hope this will be on a while.

Just got into it 6/22/2018 and i hate that it ends after 30 episodes, this show should at least get 100 episodes its humor is so funny and i love how the cast is a mix of my favorite SNL and MadTV Cast Members PLEASE BRING THIS AWESOME SHOW BACK

It seems that many reviews have been throwing around show titles such as Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, and more. If these are what you are comparing the show to, then yes, you will in fact be disappointed, because it is nothing like those shows, and that is exactly why I love it. I have never liked Family Guy or American Dad, and The Simpsons have their best days behind them. This show how ever picks up where it left off almost every single episode, and that is what I crave. I don't just look for a stream of quick laughs, but rather a compelling story line that isn't afraid to put the time and effort in to earn my laughs. Sorry, but watching a guy hold his knee and go "Ahhh" for two minutes straight just doesn't cut it for me. I need character development, and situational humor, which is exactly what The Awesomes offers. I certainly hope this show lasts a very long time.

Huge SNL fan here, and follower of Mr Meyers, Paula Pell, and their entertaining tweets. You got to give Seth points for taking his comic book love plus our nostalgia for Saturday morning cartoons and cranking it up with clever dialogue and a well rounded cast of characters. C'mon, how many other supergroups have this many female fighters or a hero with mommy issues? Add in some questionable super powers, old lady love, brains, and brawn.... and you get The Awesomes. Even the product placement works --- Kudos to the sponsor for playing along with the gag. Bonus - You'll have fun guessing all the familiar voices. Thank goodness for the 'pause' button! Add in the Ambiguosly Gay Duo, and I'd give it a 10.
