HouseBroken

It seems like so many people review after just watching the pilot episode of a show. I wasn't impressed with the pilot, but the show grew on me after a couple more episodes. It might not be raunchy or in your face like Family Guy or Southpark, but does every animated sitcom have to be? In my opinion it's more along the lines of Bob's Burgers. More lowkey while still entertaining, and the characters for the most part care about each other. I like how the stories are told from the animals' perspectives. I'm also liking the characters more with each episode as we get to know them.

I had given the show and it's writers a 2 and a scathing review but it and they have won me over - the sexual innuendos, which I felt were gratuitous, have diminished to a more thoughtful trickle and I've become invested in the characters and some of the more clever pet related issues - MAYBE it's that since the pilot I was given a 4 week old kitten ( named Smudge if u must know, and u MUST hehe) and well.... So I'm big enough of a content consumer to admit whe I've been a fool and acted hastily.

I love animals so I was really curious about this premise. I still went in with low expectations because apparently this show has been out for a year and I only heard of it this week.

The writing's not deep, and the animation appeared to be standard, but there was just enough material there to keep me invested. I like the jokes. Now if you're looking for something that will get you wheezing, keep searching because this show's not it. I also found myself getting attached to the characters, worrying about how things would turn out for them.

I can't explain why I like it, but it was a pleasant escape for me. Sometimes you just need a show that doesn't try to be super thought provoking. That has cute talking animals that make silly fart and pet jokes. I'm keeping the score modest because I don't see this show being for everyone, but I feel that it's still fun enough to get a score above negative.

It seems that SO many people DEMAND animated shows to be EXACTLY what they expect, usually based on another show (Family Guy, Southpark, whatever) that they like.

Housebroken is....funny. It's not edgy, or crude or in your face. It's just standard issue, excellent voice actor funny.

You like pets and wants to see something funny, Housebroken will do. You want to force it into the mold of whatever else you liked, it probably won't.

Give it a fair-minded shot and you shouldn't be let down.

Housebroken is funny and different in thr adult animation department. Some jokes seem a little forced. Overall, I enjoy it so far.
