Todd and the Book of Pure Evil

I came across this show while channel surfing and found it on a cable channel I can not name.I was not sure what to to think because I had never heard of of before. The first episode I saw was "rock and Roll Zombies know best". I could not believe what I was watching. This show had me hooked! After that I hit the web and trekked down the entire first season. All I can say is that this show is brilliant! Some episode are slow, such as the giant baby one, but in total this is very entertaining, funny, and just damn great. I am ticked that there is no way for me to see the originals in all there uncensored glory! The FCC and whack job parents groups would all have heart attacks if some one tried to bring this show to America. I wish that American TV could put something like this out there. I was glad to see that there was a 2nd season approved, so I will be waiting to some how get to see them. I would say that this has great promise of some how becoming a feature film. I would go see it if they did that. If you want to be entertained watch this show. If you do not give this a chance then "You are as smart as a monkey, and sadly not one of the smart monkeys"

When I first saw this show, I was at my buddies and he had the space channel on. We weren't really paying any attention to what was on the t.v at the time, but there just happened to be a Todd and The Book of Pure Evil marathon on, but again we weren't really paying attention. Once we ran out of things to talk about, my gaze fell to the screen in-front of me. At first I thought it was YTV we were watching, because it was very obvious that it was Canadian made show(LOVE YOU CANADA) and it was based around a few high school kids, which didn't click in "ADULT SHOW" at first. BUT THEN.......I heard a magical curse word and my ears started to perk up, then there was a ridiculous amount of blood and my eyes widened, then I found Todd and the Book of Pure Evil...This show is absolutely hilarious, and full of bad jokes, blood and gore, and everything else that makes a good Canadian slasher comedy...oh yeah and Jason Mewes was a bonus...this show is classically ronchie and I love it. I think anyone who enjoys politically incorrect topics and swearing with excessive cheese would give this a GOLD! If it made me laugh 13 episodes straight, I say Amen!

"Todd" plays out like a Canadian "Buffy" with a little more risqué humor and lots more gore: a group of high school students team up to fight evil (invariably caused by the titular Book) and have to defend themselves and their fellow students against a monster-of-the-week type occurrence. Except that they don't very often succeed in keeping the body count to a minimum.

Being produced outside of the United States, "Todd" is a lot less MOR than most American series: the producers are unafraid to veer off into directions that will send some accidental viewers running for the hills, especially if said viewers have homophobic issues.

The four lead characters are well cast, but the supporting actors are simply a joy to watch. Chris Leavins (as guidance counselor Atticus Murphy) and Jason Mewes (as Jimmy the janitor) steal most every scene they're in, but even one-line characters get the talent they deserve.

The overall tone is very dry, which brings out the dark humor in even the most gruesome scenes. The ensemble's collective timing is some of the best comedic group work I've yet seen.

The only problem I can find with "Todd" is that the 20-minute episode length limits the show to sitcom-like story lines, with little attention spent on larger story arcs: things get out of hand, the gang saves the day (sort of), and things reset for next week's episode. Should it get picked up again, I don't really see "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" evolving into something that could be quite as heart-wrenching (or as emotionally involving) as Joss Whedon's magnum opus.

But hey, if you're a fan of intelligent horror comedy, this show is for you. Here's hoping some guy in a suit will find enough financial incentive to renew "Todd" for a third season. Tell your friends.

This is simply awesome. Combination of high-school show, comedy and horror, that packs clichés of 80's and 90's into catchy 20 minutes portions of pure fun. All accompanied by lots of weed and heavy metal. Plus, in the main supporting role, we have Jason Mewes, Jay from legendary Jay and Silent Bob duo. The only flaw of this show is that it was canceled after two seasons, so the main story is left incomplete. However, every episode has own rounded plot so they can be watched separately. Also, an animated movie that should finish the story is announced and it's expected very soon. Recommendation for everyone who loves metal, weed, 80's horrors, teen comedies, things so stupid that they're ingenious and good fun. I saw all 26 episodes in just a few days and I yearn for more.

9/10

I first saw Todd with very skeptical eyes, The trailers admittedly do not look great at all. Within the first 5 minutes i was cursing myself for not getting on the series sooner, as with all good shows i watched all 13 eps back to back.

The show is brilliant. Catered for more then heavy metal fans Todd goes all out on the 1980 horror scene with brilliant plastic animation or stop animation whatever you like to class it as. The show is witty and face paced. You do not expect some of the endings which is nice for a Teen based comedy now days as everything is becoming so dran its just hard to watch a lot of titles due to the cheese content.

You will be happy to hear this title is CHEESLESS yes no annoying cheese coating this one. This is pure brilliant comedy. Stoners this is one for you, (if you don't have weed to watch it with get some it will annoy u without due to the massive references in there).

The cast is brilliant Jason Mewes aka Jay is an excellent addition, The main guy you can actually relate to and doesn't seem like he gives a rat's ass about anything but weed. This is brilliant because we know if we were in high school all we would care about is weed.

Im rating this a 10 as it blatantly is. All i have to say to you is this.

If you don't control German herpes

German herpes will control you.

Get on this show already You are missing OUT!
