The Problem Solverz

I've seen terrible movies, TV shows, animations/cartoons but I've never thought that things could get worse. Guess what? I was wrong. I never thought I would walk out of my music room to see this abomination on the TV. I thought I had a seizure when I saw it. If anything, it is more terrifying than it is "kid friendly". Normally not many abnormal shows are broadcasted on any channel until now. I literally stopped practising a song to type this. I'm confused by the true purpose of the show. I understand by the title of the show on "what" is supposed to be happening. However, I don't see it happening nor "why" it is happening. I felt like I was on an acid trip from a hybrid of colours when I saw what was happening. If I'm scarred from this show (and I only had a glimpse), I'm pretty sure a kid will become sleep deprived from this.

It seems as if the creator of this show intentionally decided to make a show that was off-putting. The first and most obvious issue I have with this program is the terrible art work, it seems as if the artists attempt to cause seizures in their viewers with the high amount of strobe effects they use. Also, the voice actors in this show have voices that are so grating it literally gives me a migraine when this is on TV. Alfe, or however you spell it, is the most difficult character to understand, he has no redeeming qualities and is by far the most annoying. The stories in this show are not interesting either, all in all there have been no redeeming qualities to this show so far. It's a shame Cartoon Network decided to end their stellar Monday night line up with this.

This show at least has good plots, but my gosh! The animation will give you a freaking seizure! This show is LSD on an LCD TV! The movement of everything is awful! Everything is ugly in this show!

One of the main characters is supposed to be a giant anteater...That looks NOTHING like a giant anteater!!!

This is one of the many cartoons of the decade of 2010 that look like they're on LSD. Don't watch this show if you don't want your brain to turn into a rainbow-colored puddle of LSD. It actually feels like out of all the LSD-induced cartoons of this decade, this one is the worst. Watch one of the great cartoons of the decade instead of this show!

I've seen many bad cartoon shows. "Fanboy and Chum Chum"; "Sonic X"; "Captain Planet"; "Johnny Test"; "All Grown Up!"; "Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon"; "The Buzz on Maggie"; "Yo Yogi"; and "Mad" to name a few. But none of them even come close to the atrocity that is "The Problem Solverz".

The show is about three guys who solve problems. Horace is their bland, one-dimensional, flat, uninteresting, boring leader. Roba is the annoying, ugly, brains of the team. And Alfe is meant to be the comic relief, but instead is just annoying.

The characters aren't the only bad thing about the show. There's also the terrible animation. Everything is way too bright and colorful, the character designs are hideous, and the movements look like puppets. Not that I hate puppetry, I just don't think cartoons should move like that.

Also the show is just boring. The plots are weak, the writing is bland, and the whole show is just uninteresting.

Overall I can't find a redeeming factor about "The Problem Solverz". The animation is ugly, the characters are uninteresting, the writing isn't funny at all, the voice performances are laughable, and it's just a bad show. I can't find a good thing about this show. It's a pain to sit through, and Cartoon Network should've never picked it up. I can't believe this show even aired one episode. It's just awful. I don't recommend anyone to watch it unless you enjoy watching crappy, uninspired, badly-animated, unfunny garbage.

Rating: 1/10 "Horrific"

Cartoon Network were responsible for some great childhood favourites that I still hold with fondness today(i.e. Dexter's Laboratory), but they have gone downhill in recent years, with some strong hits(i.e. Young Justice) and also some even stronger misses. Of which, along with Johnny Test and Uncle Grandpa, The Problem Solverz is one of the worst.

The animation and the writing are my two biggest issues with The Problem Solverz. Regarding the animation, the colours in this show are so bright and garish, and never with any shades or subtlety, that it was truly nauseating, while the characters are hideous especially Horace, the backgrounds are incredibly sloppy and haphazard-looking in detail and the overuse of flash is further assault on the senses(as horrible as this sounds epileptics, speaking as one, should beware watching this show). The writing is all over the place, with crude unfunny humour that is far too heavy on the toilet humour, and it all feels obnoxiously stupid, uncomfortably awkward(it probably was always meant to be awkward, but to this degree?) and random. It's constantly low on wit, emotions are always forced and like Uncle Grandpa it's weird and bizarre but not always with much reason to be. Target audience is constantly in question, because The Problem Solverz's constantly chaotic feel will see kids finding it too hard to take, and that it's embarrassingly juvenile and lacks any kind of edge or smart writing will irritate adults.

Don't expect better from the story lines either, the episodes are not that long- less than a quarter of an hour each- but judging from how thin and leading-to-nowhere the story lines are in execution they already feel stretched, as well as incredibly contrived, predictable and rushed. If you are looking for any fun or emotional resonance either, look elsewhere, as neither can be found here, sometimes you are even question what is the point. The characters are impossible to engage with, they are very irritating and act like bumbling idiots, with Alfe's belly-aching making one want to scream shut up at the screen. In no way do they live up to the show's title either, instead of solving problems they often cause them. The music is bombastic, dizzying and forgettable at best and the theme tune while not as annoying as the theme tunes for Johnny Test and Ben 10: Omniverse is certainly not something that will be remembered for a long time either. The voice acting is poor, John DiMaggio tries but Kyle Kaplan and Ben Jones are both obnoxious and dull and talents like George Takei and James Avery are wasted on terrible writing.

Overall, an abomination of a show and one of Cartoon Network's all-time worst. 1/10 Bethany Cox
