I thought it was alright. It has potential. I have seen much worse first episodes of series that have turned out alright. The main concern is that all of the humor is really forced adult humor. They are all toilet jokes or stupid jokes that middle schoolers would tell. Not like Simpsons where the jokes are more subtle and mature.

It's strange but the funniest thing to me was the Indian Elephant, who was really indian! I thought it was hilarious. That was about it. I chuckled a little bit but that's it.

Alright, I watched a lot of the olympics so the stupid teasers ruined a lot of the jokes but was anyone else surprised when the cat didn't whisper "help me"? It just kind of mouthed it.

I just watched the pilot this past week, and thought it was okay. Actually, the funniest part of the show for me, anyway, was how John Goodman's character is named Larry and Cheryl Heines is his wife. Granted, not nearly as good as Curb, but it cracked me up.

Some good voices, animation was good (but nowhere near as good as other Dreamworks flicks), but it wasn't too funny. I'm gonna give it some more tries, see if it improves.

Finally got around to watching this.

Got through maybe 10 mins.

Awful.

Unwatchable.

I didn't want to start a new thread to talk about tonight's episode since I don't think it deserves it. How is it humanly possible that this episode was less funny than last weeks?

MrBob 09-07-04 09:49 PM

I enjoyed tonight's episode. Roy's feud with Matt Lauer was cracking me up.

Flamingo as a drug dealer... check.

Bambo/Bo staff wielding magicians... check.

Nonthreatening-good-looks-Matt-Lauer... check.

Body building warthogs with shrinkage... check.

Slow comedian with jokes that don't make sense... check.

Lesbian gophers... check.

Watch it again next week? Check. :up:

<hr>Line of the night:

<blockquote>Kate: "Blake and Victoria, what a surprise."

Larry: "Yeah kinda like coming off the gas a little early and finding your dentist doing up his pants."

<< chit chat >>

Blake: "Well, let's go dear."

Victoria: "But I wanted to get the name of his dentist."

For a second I thought you guys were talking about this...

I still like this show. I know i'm in the minority but i can't help it. Also, I enjoy the portrayal of Siegfried & Roy, which seems to be what people hate the most.

MrX 09-08-04 12:30 AM

Siegfried & Roy are the only reason I'm still watching this. They're funnier then any of the animals, though the lesbian gophers were pretty funny.

DVDTalker002 09-08-04 01:01 AM

The show isnt great but its good for what it is. I think its pretty funny. I don't really care for the sigfreid and roy characters I actually think their kinda of boring. I just find it humorus seeing certain animals say ridiculous things.

DVDTalker002 09-08-04 01:02 AM

anyone think this will be on dvd soon? Just wondering since I've been recording them but don't want to if they are going to release them.

Groucho 09-08-04 07:44 AM

Watched this for the first time last night. I tried to record the pilot last week but got Scrubs instead. Pretty odd that the human characters are funnier than the animals. Other than Siegfried and Roy, it's not too good.

maxpower 09-08-04 08:29 AM

I wonder what the over/under is on this series being pulled? Last night I found myself doing little things around the house rather than watch the episode. I have not found much in this show which forces me to watch.

Meatpants 09-08-04 10:48 AM

The S&R characters are the only passable parts of this show. All the other jokes are way too forced.

Didn't anyone test the look of the Orlando Jones character? I mean, it's not supposed to be that ugly is it?

I could barely tolerate that asshat Katzenberg insisting that "<b>Shrek</b> has nothing on this. The animation's every bit as good" during "The Twenty" before every movie I went to see, when any idiot could tell that 1) the animation was nowhere near as good, and 2) <b>Shrek</b>'s success depends on the writing as much, if not more than, the animation.

I wouldn't mind watching a lower quality product if they hadn't pimped it as something it wasn't assuming we were too stupid to notice they were full of shit.

I am in the apparent minority that thinks this show is pretty good. Sigfried and Roy crack me up almost every time they are on screen. They are so bizarre, and that's exactly the way I picture them in real life. I will keep watching, for now.

I'm enjoying it... last nights was less funny than the premiere, but hopefully it'll get to run for a few more episodes and find it's stride...but I'm not holding my breath, I'm sure this will be axed shortly.

I disagree. I thought this episode was much, much funnier. Alot of good one liners. It's no Simpsons or Family Guy, but it makes me chuckle a few times a night. I'll continue watching.

shawagg 09-08-04 10:43 PM

I thought the pilot sucked... but the new one was actully good. The MAtt Lauer stuff was hilarous.

Tsar Chasm 09-08-04 11:51 PM

Just finished watched ep. 2. More funny than ep. 1.
Lots of voice talent.
Clever stuff happening in the background that makes me glad I have TiVo.

snoogins 09-09-04 04:36 AM

I liked it also, and as long as it is in front of Scrubs, I'll continue to watch.
