The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show

Though I'd never watched the original series, I enjoyed the movie that came out last year enough to want to check out the new Netflix original series. Unfortunately, this was one of the most boring half hour shows I've watched in a long time. It's a never a good sign when you start looking at your watch only ten minutes in. The only positive thing I can say about it is the animation has a cute, old school charm that recalls the nostalgic spirit of the cartoons I grew up with, but nothing else works. The jokes are flat and unfunny. The characters are totally forgettable. In the pilot episode, Mr. Peabody and Sherman are trying to put on their first show but keep getting distracted by nosy, annoying neighbors, all while traveling through time in the WEYBAC to meet historical figures like Napoleon Bonaparte. If any of this was funny, it wouldn't matter that the story line is over the place. I've only watched the first of thirteen episodes but will not be watching the rest and have removed the series from my Netflix watch list.

Blah blah blah she show is weird and ruined the Peabody franchise or whatever, ya'll genuinely won't even mention the effort and love put into this show because you're too busy complaining about the jokes or sumthin. HELLO?? ART DIRECTION GOES CRAZY?? AND THE MUSIC GUEST'S SONGS??? This show is for kids and it's going to have some dumb stuff every now and then, and may not even be educational whatsoever. BUT, listen to me, give the writers/animators some credit for putting so much hard work into this show, like it might not be comparable to some other great shows out there but it's the pure raw passion they had that made the show what it is now. It might not be jaw dropping or mind blowing to anyone who watches it, just spare some of your time, you might enjoy it and you might not.

I watch this show constantly because of my daughter. While I agree with one of the negative reviews about the first episode being a bit boring, the show gets much better as it goes along. I think the point of the show is that its supposed to be a variety show and therefore, all over the place. I find it fine to follow. So does my daughter. And any humor that appeals to adults will fly over a kid's head.

The 2014 film "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" is without a doubt, one of the best DreamWorks films of all time along with Captain Underpants, Trolls, and the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. Not only that, but also one of my favorite animated movies of all time. The Netflix series, "The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show" is...let me cut to the chase real quick. The style of this show is so freaking great to look at, it really reminds me of the similar art style of classic Cartoon Network shows like Samurai Jack. The humor is beyond wacky and fun and the animation is really good, yet some of the humor and writting is a bit too much and a bit obnoxious. Some of the writing of the show is also unique and the characters like Mr. Peabody and Sherman are really good, sometimes they act sort of unusual. It's a shame that Penny Peterson (from the movie) didn't make an appearance in the show, but I digress. (Seriously, Penny Peterson is obviously one of my favorite characters. She's cute, she's voiced by Ariel Winter who played Alex Dunphy from Modern Family and she reminds me of Cindy Vortex from Jimmy Neutron.) This Netflix cartoon sort of work for, thought the some of the jokes felt a bit dull and the way the characters act sometimes. It's not my favorite but I'm giving this a 6.5/10

From an iCON to a barely decent movie to THESE!!

This show should not have been made.

What can be learned? Don't reinvent the wheel

Verdict: Pea brain show.
