This show has the same effect as a car crash - it's so horrible you just can't look away. The premise sounds amazing, a bunch of animals rising up against humanity in a wild bloody frenzy. The pilot, however, fails to deliver the intense potential it has, and instead focuses way too much on introducing it's characters who play on the cliche's of TV. This is, simply put, just one of those shows that should never have been a show, but would have worked well for a movie - again - the premise is amazing! Who doesn't want to see a crazy CGI lion fight a cobra over a corpse?

This may just have been my favorite show of 2016. It has everything that I needed this year, a sharp political commentary, using a completely obscene backdrop. The show managed to keep me entertained in a different way than most shows do. It managed to stay in my head between airings, and remained a highlight of my summer.

To be honest, I'm quite satisfied that the show got canceled. I was worried that this show would linger on, until it became hopelessly boring. This way they managed to tell a great story, and finish it too.

This was a great addition to a solid platform of American adult oriented cartoon series. It's a bummer that it's been cancelled, because the show managed to stay relevant despite of a lack of ethics. Brickleberry pushed the envelope on what's funny and what's allowed to be made fun of, and for that Brickleberry deserves a spot on the list of the greatest cartoons!

This is exactly the same show as Aqua Teen Hunger Force, just with a different opening and apparently the Teens have moved to Seattle. The show is still just as awesome.

Poor Matthew Perry, he's looking for just that one doorway that could relaunch his career. Unfortunately a show can't exactly be revolved around his signature character, he works in ensemble casts, and that's what it seems like GO ON was an attempt to create just this ensemble scenario. I love this show, it was well written, a great setup, great characters and cast. The show got pulled after it's prolonged first season, which is a shame because this could have amounted to something - however, this show wouldn't have made it past a fourth season as it was standing. I would have loved to have seen more episodes of this show, but now we must hold our breaths until the next Matthew Perry comeback. Let's just hope that 'Odd Couple' will be a little more GO ON than Mr. Sunshine

This is one of my most favorite cartoons. The characters are so random, but still they manage to be so personal that you can characterize yourself with each of them. The Aqua Teens always gets into jams which they usually aren't able to get out of - this often results in death or severe injury for them and their neighbor Carl. If you're just up for getting stoned and watching something fun, watch this

This wasn't a bad show, it definitely had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it was pulled before it could prove its quality. Jonah Hill accomplishes to create a platform for a lot of situations with a diverse cast of characters. I hope this show would get picked up again for a full season, but that seems rather unlikely after 3 years. FOX...you need to get your shit together

This show is nothing but a long series of conversation. It doesn't try to impress you with great story arcs and doesn't have intention to teach you any lessons - just a series of conversation. A great example is when Dr. Katz is playing 'Guess Who' with his son, Ben Katz, and the picture behind his son is revealing his picture in the reflection. As soon as he realizes his sons card, he decides to cheat and win the game. The rest of the episode deals with how he's going to admit this to his son (who is 25 and still lives with his father), that he cheated. As he finally confronts his son, they just end up talking and laughing about something completely irrelevant to the rest of the episode. This is a great show and I can highly recommend it!

Graves is life confirming in a way that not many other shows are. I quite like the characters and how they each react to their families situations. The show starts off really well, so you need only to watch one episode to get hooked - I can definitely recommend.

This show is an interesting look into a wide range of human emotions and actions. Each of their characters have a special set of characteristics that overlaps with other characters, in such a way that everything seems incredibly well put-together. It's an entertaining show that uses a large vocabulary - this only adds to the humour of this show. Blunt Talk was created by Jonathan Ames who also created Bored to Death, something that can clearly be felt in the tempo of each episode, and symmetry of the seasons.
