50/50
Well although this wasn't the greatest flash that you have submitted, everyone has a bad spell for creativity. The waterman studios might have found the humor amusing, but that is because it must have been inside jokes that amused them for it is their creation. You are trying to please the people watching it, not only yourself.
I don't agree that some of the reviewers are bashing waterman, but if are checking all the reviews, a lot of people also gave it a good review.
It doesn't matter to me if you choose to keep it on waterman studios and not NG...Personally, if you ask me, don't take 1 bad cartoon and freak out and drop newgrounds. In my opinion, if the 7th episode is any good submit it and then leave on a good note...
There are always idiots out there that haven't thought of constructive criticism.
Also, when people say that it is like Family Guy, take that as a compliment. Dont think that you have to push away from that aspect. To me that is what it seems like you are doing. Family Guy was an awsome show, and I love your cartoon just as much.
