The Freak Brothers

I was so excited to watch this series. I even dug through my old collection of the original comics - most pages yellowed and musky - to refresh my fondest stories.

Woody Harrelson and Pete Davidson were perfect as Franklin and Phineas, sounding how I might have imagined them. The BIG disconnect was Goodman's miserable attempt at Fat Freddy sounding like Curly Joe from the 3 stooges. And honestly what gives with Tiffany Haddish as Fat Freddy's cat? Totally not cool with the gender swap.

I watched episode 1, 2 and just gave up midway through 3 with the stupid Jeff Bezo's thing. Fat Freddy's cat was smart, but not that smart. This could have been so much better if the writers were not so lazy.

Wow, this should be so much better... but it's a show that will resonate with (mostly older) people who read the creative, bold and unique comics. Unfortunately, we're also the ones who noticed the drastic personality differences in the characters, changes that aren't an improvement or an interpretation, but mistakes IMO that disrupt the enjoyment, especially the cast-- seemed to be totally wrong voices, or at least way different from how I imagined them.

I dont get how with such a talented cast you can have such a bad show. The writing and jokes are soo bad at times. When you see Woody and Goodman you think this is going to be great then see Haddish played out self n Davidson n think oh maybe its gonna suck.

I was looking forward to regressing to 1969, but the writing is substandard for the talent. The graphics are amazing but non-existent plot didn't hold my interest.

If they reduced the cliches, slowed the pace and added better scripts, I might be interested in watching it again. They've captured the rude, crude dudes from the comic book, but it's not humorous anymore.

I own a bunch of the old Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics, so I'm quite familiar with the characters and genre of humor, but this show is an abomination in just about every way imaginable. It's shockingly unfunny, for starters.

At least one reviewer mentioned that this show must be for fans of the comics, but I'm here to tell you otherwise. I can't abide it.

Really about all I can say for this show is that it pushes all the wrong buttons for me and I will most definitely not be watching it any further. Hopefully it fades into obscurity very soon.
