Unsupervised

Why is there only one season of this show!? This show rocked me to the core :) "Joel voice" I realize I'm a couple years late to the party but I really like this show. The animation is great, the voices are great, characters are great and it's funny with a side of warm heartening lessons thrown in there mix. I'm 31 so it reminds me a little of Beavis and Butthead without the music videos. I like how Gary and Joel are best buds and they're so positive about all kinds of aspects of life. I'm done but I need ten lines of text to officially make a review of a show so I guess I will add in that I really hope this show makes a comeback.

Anyways, if there's anything I can do to help bring this show back just tell me where to sign!

The first few episodes have been tolerable, and actually IMO, funnier than MTV's similarly themed 'Good Vibes'. It is hard to judge a show so early, I remember lots of people disliked Archer at first, too(Thompson and Reed, as in creators of Archer, Sealab, and Frisky Dingo, are producers on Unsupervised- they know comedy, people). I, for one, will be tuning in, if for no other reason than to kill time waiting for Archer. The voice cast is pretty solid, and they seem to be taking Archer's lead and making it a much more grown up version of a cartoon show about kids. I really like how positive the kids are despite their terrible conditions...it is pretty refreshing.

I think this show is hilarious. It's obviously made for young adults and older as it contains strong language, sexuality, and drug references. The show appears very immature and thats why it does not appeal to the arrogant, narrow-minded "intellectual" audience. But little do they know that the show is very well scripted. Underlying all the immature comedy and stupidity lies very cleverly placed messages. The show is all about two best friends exploring life as they go through high school and deal with teenage problems under almost poverty-stricken circumstances, broken homes, and the obvious peer pressures that come with puberty and teenage lifestyle. Everyone can relate to this, it's reminiscent of most people's childhood, except for the stuck up "intellectuals" who had no life growing up, and think they're too good for this show. The people that this show relate to probably can't afford cable television to watch it or are too busy dealing with personal problems. Overall this show is hilarious, cleverly written, and surprisingly heart warming. It has a strong complementary cast of characters that hit every element of a smart comedy. Rob is my favorite character, his randomness spikes the comedy in this show.

This show didn't look too promising based on the previews but it's actually got a lot going for it.

Firstly, the voice acting is great. That is clearly going to be a major strength for this series. Secondly, it's got excellent supplementary characters. The main characters are cool, but like south park, the real comedy lies in the fringe characters.

Couple other things this show does well - it's fun, has good timing, doesn't seem to hit too many one note jokes, and the animation works for it. Some people have bashed the animation but how many good comedies have pristine animation? Sometimes rougher animation is way funnier... Archer, South Park, Tom Goes to the Mayor, etc.

I'm not sure why other reviewers are hating so hard, I thought it was funny and would really like to see how it develops.

So if you have read the other reviews, you can tell that this is one of those "either you love it or hate" shows. I enjoy it immensely although it is not without its shortcomings. Pros: The two main characters are naive and incredibly likable. The voice acting is superb, the secondary characters are solid as well. The stories themselves are original, humorous, and lighthearted; as are the jokes. Cons: It takes some time getting used to the characters and their situations. The plot sometimes either takes too long to develop or it never fully matures.

You can't make a judgement on just watching one episode and it takes a few viewings to get into the story. I did not add this show to my DVR recordings until after 4 episodes. I would like to see how the characters develop in the future.
