Second episode was an improvement. I'll stick in for the remaining few episodes.

Re: Napoleon Dynamite - the animated series, 2012 on FOX

Hmm, I am a huge fan of the movie, I can watch it anytime it's on TV. This isn't nearly as good and I agree it changed a lot of what made the movie good. Yet I didn't hate it so I'll give it a chance. Also, didn't pad so missed the last of the second episode.

If I didn't know I wouldn't have guessed that all the actors were back. I didn't think Rico sounded like him, and he says Napoleon totally different.."Napole-ON." Thought Kip sounded different as well.

Made it through about 5 minutes of the first episode, about 10 of the second before I bailed. Just not funny at all really.

Re: Napoleon Dynamite - the animated series, 2012 on FOX

I must admit, I'm a fan of this show, especially after making it through all the episodes. I hope it sticks around for at least a complete season or two. From what I believe, it's doing at least as well, if not better, than most of the other shows in the animated lineup.

Re: Napoleon Dynamite - the animated series, 2012 on FOX

I've found it pretty funny too. Fox has just fucked up the scheduling of this show.

Its airs double episodes, gone for 2 weeks, airs one, gone for another week, airs another, gone another week, airs the finale.

Really messed up schedule. But I can see Fox picking it up as American Dad is in it's last Season (though they had tons of episodes in the can, sorta like King of the hill situation).

Uh, American Dad is airing through 2013: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobile..._n_827186.html

I hope AD doesn't go anywhere soon. It has been my favorite of the bunch since the second season.

I also hope Bob's Burgers sticks around for a good long while too. It came pretty darn close to taking AD's place as my favorite. If not favorite, then most consistently funny for me at least.

That doesn't mean it's not going to have any more new episodes produced, though. Fox will be on MacFarlane's junk until he decides to end it.

No way will Fox continue to substain 3 McFarlane shows (plus more in development!). AD has tons of episodes in the can. If they canceled it today they could easily air until 2013.

I thought he had one animated series still in development about a woman. And I agree, it's a lot for Fox to sustain but I figure'd it was Seth MacFarlane's Animation Domination featuring The Simpsons at this point.

So it is not canceled. You just assume it will be. Thanks for posting misinformation.

We knew King of the Hill was canceled well before it ended, he's going based off of the fact that there haven't been any new episodes ordered yet. I really don't think Fox will kill it off anytime soon.

Wow, I actually sort of like this show. I never saw the movie and it always looked stupid to me, so I assumed I wouldn't like this. It's got a sort of a King of the Hill vibe. It's certainly better than that POS Allen Gregory.

Re: Napoleon Dynamite - the animated series, 2012 on FOX

Recently saw the first episode of Napoleon Dynamite, the animated series - amusing, but obviously not nearly as funny as the film. However, there were mildly amusing scenes throughout - including when the grandmother was seen reading a book titled, "How to be a masculine woman"

Will probably check out the other 5 episodes as well, since I did like this first one...
