    Still enjoyable to watch 19 years after it was made.

    Great show about a group of twenty-something friends living in New York City and the adventures they endure.

    Watched this show when I was fifteen and I hadn't seen it since until one day I remembered the title and searched for the torrent. Now I have all 13 episodes and watch them all the time.

    I wish there was a way to petition MTV for the show, but I doubt many people still remember.

    One of MTV's Better, Less Repulsive TV Shows

    Well, I occasionally watched this at nights, where I live- when there was nothing better on. It's a very enjoyable television show... which- I know this might come to some as a shock- doesn't need the F word or disgusting humor to get laughs. Hear that Beavis & Butthead and all you South Park kids?! Shame it didn't win as much popularity as the other two mentioned. Likable-humorous characters, strange but unique animating style, plus good humorous look at The Big Apple. One of the better adult-intended animated TV shows out there.

    Yet Another Show Falls Prey to MTV Idiocy

    Downtown is the story of nerdy, toy-boy Alex, and his adventures while living in his first apartment in downtown New York. While having a rather unexciting job in a copy store, his life is frequently made more exciting by his wild partying sister Chaka, who often takes advantage of Alex's apartment to crash after clubbing. Also wandering in and out of his life is his despondent best friend Jen, his dream goth-girl Serena, disgusting ladies-man Goat, and Chaka's squad of high school friends - dreamy Mecca, tagger Matt, and wannabe Casanova Fruity.

    A truly one-of-a-kind show, Downtown has been overlooked and under-appreciated since it's creation. As usual, MTV cancelled one of it's best shows after only one season, so it has sadly faded into obscurity. I'd advise you to grab any opportunities to see this show that come up.

    Why post now on a show that was cancelled near enough five years ago? Because its that good!

    I'm not going to accuse of MTV of being stupid, whats the point? Its like saying the sun is hot, we all know it.

    I love Downtown, there's nowhere near enough info and praise for the show on the web, yes there were only 13 episodes and OK you have a point that its a pretty old show but it deserves it all the same.

    Someone said that there is not a single bad episode, I agree, and to add to this there is not a single episode which is not great.

    The most realistic characters in a TV show in a very long time and their animated, go figure.

    Dang, ten lines of text?

    I love this show

    This show is so addicting.... the main characters seem real and the animation is good. Sadly MTV isn't giving it too much vibe.... there are no sites out there for it.... go watch it and have a good ass time!
