Joe Pera Talks with You

This show is unlike anything I've watched. Joe Perra is an incredible actor playing a socially awkward but good hearted man that talks and acts like hes 80. The humor is dry but not cynical. Absurd but in a subtler way than most adult swim shows, strangely informative at times about topics from rocks to rat prevention, and above all, good lord, this show just soothes your soul. I have not experienced a show like this before or felt the need to leave a review. I really hope it gets another season

Joe Pera Talks with You is the new show I never knew I wanted so badly. I turn to Cartoon Network for entertaining short-duration shows, such as Mike Tyson Mysteries. They're blessedly brief and to the point, and I can watch them as a matter of convenience on my DVR. Joe Pera's schtick is a grandfatherly teacher who presents the various minutiae of life from a thoughtful perspective. My take is that if he weren't such a well-intentioned, sincere character he would be mostly rejected by "normal" society. But our hero manages to win the day while living comfortably between two worlds - the outside world where we meet life, and his inner world of perspectives, knowledge, and values. The overall mood of the show is calming, with "Joe Pera Reads You The Church Announcements" (S1E6) becoming surprisingly edgy. So I've seen 6 episodes so far, and have become a huge fan. Although each episode is self-contained enough that you can dive in, the episodes also present threads relating to themes and personal relationships that you can follow - not knowing some of them will make scenes in some episodes seem random. Thank you, Joe Pera, for talking with me.

This show is one of the most real experiences that the medium has offered. There are countless scenes that, regardless of simplicity, manage to somehow make you feel more human. It is almost intangible what this show can bring to you, and no words could ever do it justice. I'ts all about the little things.

I was being evicted from my home, my husband was about to divorce me because I couldn't have children, and my mother was soon to be dead. I moved in with my sister and her husband and children, was staying downstairs on their couch. I turned this on. Apparently it was the premiere night. I cried. Of sheer joy. Because so many of these things are relatable to me. Especially the fact her was a teacher. As so was I. For 14 years. And now. I feel like as though Joe is my godsend. My spiritual husband. Thank you Joe. For giving me the strength to move on and build my life back. It's been over a year since this show premiered. And I'm still here. I have my own home again, my life is getting back to normal. And I'll always remember just how much this show and Joe helped me in that dark time. Please. Adult Swim. I bet you. Give us season 2. I've been so patient and good this year. And I'll consider it my *Pera-Sonal* ;) Christmas present if you please just give me if any just ONE more season. Please and thank you. :)

I very highly recommend you watch it. It is my new favorite show. This stuff is truly breaking new territory. There is nothing quite like it. I hope this show gets the recognition it deserves. True warm and fuzzy feelings in a sometimes scary world we live in
