Glenn Martin DDS

Nick@Nite has gone through its fair share of annoying shows. But "Glenn Martin DDS" is so beyond annoying. It's simply repulsive. The show is too ridiculous to be taken seriously by adults, and far to inappropriate for children. It makes humor out of absolutely disgusting scenes and deaths, and the characters are so ridiculously annoying, particularly the teenage son. The fake laugh track is the least of this show's problems. Nick@Nite has a bad habit of putting on excellent shows and then canceling them as soon as the viewers start to really like it. But for them to get rid of the classics like "Cosby Show", "Roseanne", and "Home Improvement", and instead to replace it with "Glenn Martin DDS", which no one in their right mind would want to watch, absolutely boggles my mind. Please, Nick@Nite... haven't you ever heard of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? PLEASE get rid of this show. I not only make it a point NOT to watch, but if I happen to catch a glimpse of it, I am just repulsed. This show is so inappropriate and disgusting that it makes people of all ages squirm in their seats.

I have recently been introduced to Glen Martin DDS as I was watching a video of channel surfing 2009. I searched the show up on Google and found that the first season was officially on YouTube with the second season being on Tubi. After watching the first season, I have to say that it's underrated. For one I enjoy the animation style and I think it's rather intriguing and new compared to the traditional ways of animation. The writing is simple but also somewhat sophisticated at the same time. The jokes are alright but can be a bit to reliant on crude/potty humor, however there are some clever political, social, cultural references throughout the program. That being said there are some scenes in this show that wouldn't fly in today's climate, most notably a scene where one of the main characters calls a transgender women a "he/she" a term that is quite offensive and insulting to members of the LGBTQ community, there's also quite a bit of homophobic jokes in it so yeah.

On content side of things, this was aired on NICK@NIGHT, a programing block on nickelodeon aimed at teens and young adults. Though there was some controversy with it originally airing at 7:30pm especially with it being aired right after SpongeBob despite containing crude and suggestive humor, sexual situations, course language (damn, ass, piss) and somewhat graphic violence. The show is rated TV:PG DLSV, however I would say that this program is more so TV:14 due to both the overt and frequent sexual references and the violence that can be quite gruesome at times.

Overall a decent program with some issues.

There is only one word for it- foul. I can't believe this is on the network and at a time slot that I used to trust my kids to be able to watch. The graphic, adult nature would get it an NC-17 rating if it were in the theaters, and there is no cleverness here to balance the flat potty humor and sexual content, which in at least one episode was directly about kids and stripping. What was wrong, NICK- did you really need to compete with Comedy Central's trash? Do you think either I or my kids will be watching either this show or this network any more in the evening? NO! And I don't want to pay for it either! This is why we need CABLE CHOICE!! I AM SO TIRED AND DISAPPOINTED WITH PROGRAMMERS AND CABLE EXECUTIVES WHO DON"T CARE ABOUT KIDS- EVEN WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A KID-FRIENDLY NETWORK!!!

This show is awful, crude, and downright Nasty. I can't believe that they would even air this crap, it's not entertaining all. The jokes are not funny, the look of show in general is really bad and to top it all off there is a laugh track. A freaking laugh track! I knew from trailers they ran that it would be bad but the laugh track just took it all to another level. The writing its self makes no sense. There was also a scene they showed in the trailer that let me know for sure how crude this was, the Dad was digging in some kids mouth and his whole hand went through the kids mouth including the chair he was sitting in. It's bad enough that Nick is suffering with the crap they show during the day and now this? Ugh please end this. This show is just begging to be canceled, I won't be surprised if it doesn't make it past the first season.

It's an edgy show. Check out the Amish episode -- absolutely brilliant! Why are there so many hostile reviews? The reviews mostly seem to come from viewers of a channel called NICK (is that a kids channel?).

This show has unique, high quality and appealing animation. They certainly don't skimp on the animators.

The few episodes I've seen have been quite interesting and have had good production values. The plots may be bit over the top but there aren't many animated shows out there that can capture my attention (most of them are quite bland and have been gutted to meet PG13 censor requirements).

Check it out and ignore the NICK viewers (was there maybe a concerted effort to malign the show?). It's worth your while (especially the Amish episode)! This is a show that could very easily grow to rival the Simpsons when they peaked.
