The Amazing World of Gumball is one of those shows I looked at and said, "How can anyone like that?" But like other shows on Cartoon Network it surprised me to see it was actually a well written show.
The show takes place in the fictional city of Elmore inhabited by talking animals, animate objects, tyrannosaur, talking peanuts, and other weird things you wouldn't even expect to live together. The show follows the Watterson family, mainly Gumball and his adopted brother Darwin, and their misadventures.
You got Richard, a lazy stay at home dad with good intentions but small intellect. Nicole who is a typical workaholic mom with a short fuse but deeply loves her family. Gumball and Darwin are your average pre-teen boys who have all sorts of weird interests and misconceptions on girls, adults and life in general. And their sister Anais who is a child prodigy at four years old. Together they get into all sorts of unbelievable situations around their house, school, or city in general.
What I find really appealing about this show are the characters. Each character has a different animation style. One character can be traditionally animated but another can be done in CGI. And another could be a puppet. And another could be an 8-bit video game character. They all have individual character traits and it's really interesting to see all these animation styles really blend together.
The family is pretty close to real life too. I can remember as a kid actually getting into some of the fads Gumball and Darwin do.
This show is still pretty new and obviously has a lot more to offer, but from what I've seen it's worth watching a few episodes. I don't really see anything that bad for younger kids like I do in shows like Regular Show and the adult humor is subtle enough for kids to not know what they're missing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this unique style in the future.
So far I give The Amazing World of Gumball an 8.5

I've watched some episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball and it's absolutely brilliant. This is one of the best cartoons I've ever watched. It's also very funny and bizarre.
My favourite character is Richard Walterson because he is the funniest character I've ever met. He's an absolute gas.
I'm nearly 27 years old and I'm still watching this cartoon.

Out of all the cartoons and TV shows I can find, this is my #1 favorite. There's no way I could find a better show than this one. There's just no other show I like. Here's why. This show is adorable, hilarious and simply awesome. The animation is really good, and I can't believe this show has both hand-drawn animation and CGI. They did a really great job designing the characters, too. I can't pick one best part of the show, because it's perfect in every way. This show should have been rated TV-Y or TV-G instead of TV-Y7-FV. If you're looking for a recent animated show, you'll want to watch this one. Overall, I give this a great big 10/10. My favorite episodes are "The Responsible" and "The Pressure."
Not only is the animation an amazing blend of everything (CG, flash, stop-motion, traditional and some live-action) But this show is really damn funny. Gumball humor can go all over the place and still be really funny. Gumball and Darwin are a great duo and work off each other pretty well. The rest of the family are pretty good to but the one who takes the cake (and eats it to)is the dad, I know the dumb dad cliché is way too common But Richard is really a cut above the rest. The side characters are nothing to sneeze at to, Principal Brown gets some good quips in, Mr.Small is a hippie guidance counselor, The robot is a fan favorite, The ghost girl is cute, and Penny gumball's crush is more than just some token love interest. Anyways I'm just gonna recommend so episodes to give you an idea what kinda show Gumball is. The Fraud, The Law, The Check, The Shell, The Bus, The question and The origins part 1&2.
The Amazing World of Gumball is you know...AMAZING! That's why they put "Amazing" in the show's title so that it can make sense, am I right? I love the characters, a blue cat, a walking fish, a talking banana, a talking balloon, a walking coconut (I think that's what Penny is), and a bunch more cool and crazy stuff. Every time Gumball and Darwin scream, I always have to laugh because they scream like little girls. It was really funny in one episode when Gumball was crossdressing with his momma's wedding dress. I cracked up when I saw Gumball crossdress. Every time I'm bored, I always have to watch this show. If you're asking me what I wanna give this funny show, I give it a perfect 10/10.
