The Remote

Tragedy strikes the Wattersons' house when they find out that all the stuff they want to watch happens on the same time. Will this dysfunctional family learn to share, or will it be just another big fight that will get resolved? Either way, the episode will provide you an exciting series of events.

How much writers Ben Bocquelet, Jon Foster, James Lamont, and Mic Graves have managed to put in 11 minutes without it feeling too overstuffed is impressive. Each character is given just enugh time to shine, with Anais, Nicole, and Richard getting some of the spotlight for once. The twist is delightfully shocking, even though it was already spoiled to me by the internet(gee, thanks, Internet). If you weren't already convinced that Anais isn't an evil mastermind, then watch this season premiere. I think you'd be quite shocked!

This is one of the best episodes of any animation I've ever bore witness to. This episode in particular went above and beyond and it feels like it didn't even try very hard to do so. Easily the funniest, and one of the best animated 24 minutes Cartoon Network has ever broadcasted on air. I hope this show stays in their line up for a long time. The Remote episode is a shining example of the broad cleverness that caters to all ages among the many many CN shows that attempt the same in writing and character development. The visual prowess of their audience is perfectly aligned with the images they portray in order to add not only the necessary, but the superfluous humor found in between and in the middle of the punch lines. Good show, this episode has made me a fan for life.
