Incredible Crew

This show reminds me of every moment in my life when i was forced to witness some socially awkward kids attempt to get attention. Were everyone around is embarrassed for them and there inability to grasp the concept that being funny is intended to make other people laugh. We all had one of these kids in our class. The one that takes over acting to an extreme only a junior high school drama teacher could appreciate. The one who didn't care if people liked them or thought they were funny just as long as everyone was looking at them. Well if you know the type im talking about. Imagine taking a group of kids like this and giving them a show that's directed by the middle school drama teachers substitute.

I don't care that its not educational or it dosn't make you think. That's the parents job to guide not a TV network. Its lacking at every single level. In all comedy shows its is common place to put the funniest parts of an episode in the commercial and if you've seen a ad then you've seen the best there is to offer. Violin Drum Solo and Three Course Field Goals is really the best this shows got. I wanted to be fair before i wrote this so i watched 3 full episodes and tuned in an out multiple other times. Im sure a very small percentage of people find this show funny and based on the reviews its probably a good ratio. 10 reviews for absolutely awful and 2 for funny. I hope Cartoon Network realizes that it was a huge flop and dons't keep it going in hopes of eventual success like they're doing with Level Up. If it wasn't for Adventure Time and Regular Show there would be zero decent comedy shows on this network and absolutely no reason to even watch.(of course excluding Adult Swim)

My seven year old cousin isn't even entertained by this garbage. The jokes are poor, idiotic, and unfunny. It has never made me laugh, let alone the child who is the "intended audience" for Cartoon Network. I'm not one of these "nostalgia" lovers. I personally enjoy Adventure Time and even Regular Show among other new shows of theirs. This show is a poor rip-off of a good show, MadTV, or at least, that's how I view it. They have good shows. Like Adventure Time, which requires a bit of thinking, and even provides lessons and such. This show is just more proof parents are all too willing to shove their kid in front of a bright box and essentially hypnotize them. This is a show made for the people who don't care about anything other than a little bit of entertainment, or getting their child to shut up for awhile. It's above even Annoying Orange for it's sheer stupidity.

I still kinda like "Running Errands with my Mom" for some reason.

YO, YOU MAD TRIPPIN LINDA! YOUR SHOES DON'T MATCH YOUR PURSE!!!

other than that, traaaash.

Our family gave "Incredible Crew" a fair shot, but among the consistent comedic shortcomings and the immensely sickening waste of food, we will no longer tune in. This show fails miserably and it is unfortunate for both the viewer base that will be lost, and the talented young actors of this show whose careers are likely to take a hit. Our family has always been pleased with Cartoon Network's programming for our children, as well as Adult Swim - until now. We hope that the powers that be at Cartoon Network are paying attention to the feedback, which is consistent with many others here. This is such a shame. - Michelle, mother of four children.

Setting aside the basic problem that this is a LIVE ACTION show on the CARTOON network-its just awful, period.

It is obviously attempting, poorly, to replicate the Hip Tongue-firmly-in-cheek paradigm/model of humor made famous by Adult Swim. I've seen, and unfortunately I cannot get that time back, 2 episodes of the show. Both made numerous attempts to copy Adult Swim's model without any of the intelligence and references that make it work. Garbage like "unfun party games", "oven mitt hi-five", etc isn't referencing anything, doesn't have the voice, and just plain doesn't WORK anything like Adult Swim's bumpers do.

Apart from that, the show doesn't seem to be written or edited by anyone who has any real comedy experience. The "Big Name" associated with it is Nick Cannon,a producer possibly best known for the "Wild'n Out" franchise-the only arguable success among a number of self-titled, aggrandizing-but-mediocre flops like "The Nick Cannon Show" (11 episodes) and "Nick Cannon Presents" (on for maybe 10 months). This is a guy whose total career spans about 9 years and has managed to average a failed show every 2. Other than the American Idol imitation "America's Got Talent" which manages to wow the American Television viewer with season after season of mediocrity and confusion with "the voice", "american idol", etc You have to assume he's being overpaid for his two minutes of throw away tokenisms like "you go girl" and "you know you got it G" or he's got deep pockets because otherwise he would have faded away by 09 and thankfully disappeared into the late-night reality show/infomercial black hole.

His lack of talent, and apparently, lack of ability to judge talent as a result, has led to this awful train wreck. Cartoon Network's best spin calls IC a "In-Your-Face New Comedy Experience". If you have the misfortune to watch it, you will almost certainly know that means exactly what is really says..nothing. The "sketches" vary so HUGELY in size from 2-3 seconds to ten minutes, in style from throw-aways like someone playing drums with broken violins for 2 seconds to 5 minute decent product value fake rap videos, and in production quality from decent to things that wouldn't get hits on youtube-that the viewer is ALMOST tricked into thinking he HAS changed the channel.

The above mentioned lack of experience and direction really is a glaring problem on a show which doesn't have much to balance it out with. As a result, the episodes have NO continuum, nothing to draw in the viewer, and nothing to keep him. Their best bet is to hope that whomever has the ratings boxes accidentally hits on the show while surfing and remains out of curiosity...sort of a "is that a car accident or have they pulled over to urinate" model of viewer retention.

I have no idea if the 'talent' has talent or not, but they certainly aren't demonstrating it here. They may or may not be acting as if they are bad actors-(see above poor-attempt-at-hip-comedy)-and they may or may not be poorly directed or acting as if they are not being directed at all. It's impossible to judge anything when its so immersed in mediocrity and plain awful narrative/presentation. The thing is-these clean-cut, bleached-teeth glaring smiler, bright-clown-like-color kids aren't going to pull off "hip" or "cynical" or even "sarcastic". So their attempts to do so just leave the viewer wondering what they are meant to be communicating..as in: "IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY?....OR IS CARTOON NETWORK JUST JOKING ABOUT THIS SHOW" I THINK its supposed to be the former...but, after seeing two of the episodes...it might just be the latter.
