As you all might not know, I enjoy cartoons.
Cartoon Network more or less has gone down in quality over the years, with greats like Ed, Edd, and Eddy being replaced by shit like Fried Dynamite. Anyways, I remember seeing a Pilot for this a few years back and more recently another pilot from (one of my favorite new cartoons that unfortunately didn't last too long) Secret Mountain Fort Awesome. Look it up on Wikipedia and watch a bit. Anyways, it's bright colourful, and more or less a very "cartoony" experience in every meaning of the word. Not to sound like a newfag, but I actually like it. What do you think NG?

Those are the worst shows I've ever seen.

I watch Regular Show and Adventure time and they're okay, but shows like Uncle Grandpa are just too fucking stupid.

It seems kind of generic. I remember seeing a preview of it at a movie theater recently. It also seems pretty repetitive. I don't watch TV much anymore, nor new Cartoon Network cartoons so it wouldn't really bother me either way. Although, if I had to say, nay.

I thought it was stupid. And with that in mind I really hope Cartoon Network doesn't stick to cartoons that (in one way or another) try to be like Adventure Time or Regular Show.

I just saw the preview and I suddenly thought that the next generation should just be murdered. Better than watching this shit.

When i saw previews for it i swear to God that it was the result of a real bad acid trip. Sure adventure time and regular show are trippy at times but this takes the trippy element from those and puts them on the most intense steroids. It's like if Tim and Eric made a cartoon

To be honest, it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I really didn't like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, but Uncle Grandpa was tolerable.

Not saying I'll be watching it every week, but it's not the worst of the worst.

Can't say I'm a fan of the show. I honestly found it incredibly stupid and couldn't watch it to the end. I do however like Uncle Grandpa's title character. Something about a possibly senile old timer who warps reality, bends the laws of physics, and make the 4th wall his prison bitch is amusing to me. Plus, dat voice.

I only watched one clip, but it was really grating and seemed like it was trying way too hard. I'm not going to be watching this regularly.

Adventure Time is the best show the network has ever aired by a wide margin and one of the best currently running shows on television (animated or otherwise), so.

I had hopes for this show. It seemed bright, colorful, cheerful, and random in a good, funny way. That said, I watched the show and I can't say I was too thrilled. I didn't like Uncle Grandpa's voice, and although I liked his shenanigans, as well as his winnebago (or whatever he's driving) and odd friends, the show didn't have me laughing much. However, I think it's a step up from other shows they've had recently. I didn't like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome or The Problem Solvers or many of their other recent new shows. So, I'm going to have to say Uncle Grandpa, Yea.

fuck nay! that's my opinion,watched one episode about a fat kid trying to stick his fat ass stomach into a medium only to have uncle dumbass give the kid a quadruple x-l with the intention of saying go ahead kids sit on your asses and have pie obesity will grant you a fantastic adventure in life.the portal shirt warps the kid into a strange land where he almost gets eaten by wolves until uncle dr.who shows up to show the kid that he can literally use his weight to beat the shit outta wolves and taco monsters. watching that i literally felt my IQ drop.diabeetus

most definitely YEA. I love random and nonsensical humor, and Uncle Grandpa is all you could ever ask for in a perfect CN cartoon that defines WTF

Not a fan of it, it just comes off as trying way too hard.

I do like Wander Over Yonder, and Gravity Falls, though.

In the beginning I kind of liked how the new Cartoon Network handled things: "Look at us, now we're all wacky and random", but over the years, creating tons of shows with the same aesthetic made everything kind of... meh. Cartoon Network just kind of turned into that annoying uncle that goes "Look at me, I'm all wacky and random", and what Cartoon Network and the latter have in common is their lack of material, causing monotony and eventual boredom.
I know I sound like a nostalgic fucker right now, but sometimes I just wish they'd go back to making funny cartoons without needing "SOMEONE RIDING A TIGER WHOA LOOK AT THIS LOOK AT THAT"

I don't watch Cartoon Network anymore, so this doesn't bother me. Although, I will say that it has gone downhill from what it used to be.

I've never seen Uncle Grandpa, but it looks and sounds ridiculous.

Frankly, I've never been a huge fan of shows of colorful random bullshit, because it largely shadows the whole plot, and that usually is a cop out excuse for making a shitty plot. This show is no exception to the rule.

It wouldn't be so bad if they actually built a decent enough plot around it as well try to explain any random event that happens, but it seems like they don't want to do that or don't seem to care. More or less, it shows a level of immaturity and unprofessionalism in both the work and the creators, not that ever stopped them in the past.


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

(After watching all the episodes so far)
I've come to the conclusion that the show is just going to keep getting worse and worse.
I hope Cartoon Network has enough sense to put it out of it's misery.
