VeggieTales in the House

I have to disagree with what the previous reviewer wrote. This show is really fun, goofy, silly, all the things the old show was. I'm only disappointed that there are so few episodes because I know my kids will watch them to an annoying extent.

Devo106 kept comparing it to the original shows. This wasn't meant to be a reboot. We can't always have Silly Songs With Larry. But this show is like the older ones. Maybe they hadn't watched the older ones in a long time, but my kids watch them ALL THE TIME. This new series has all the same silly humor, and the same silly Larry that the old "series" had.

Hello, this is PrincessAurorus and I'm here to review this show that definitely needs a sign for its ruined style towards the fact it had nothing to do with the designs and the humor itself. "If you throw the Rotten Tomatoes. If those jokes can't make you smile. If you hate those yams or potatoes? Stay away from it's own style." So what's it like watching this torture for those who grew up watching the original. Well we get Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki to voice the cast and-

Whu? Okay,two things. Num. 1, why is Mr. Nezzer named Ichabeezer? Can't they at least to a different name like Ebeneezer or Nebby K. Nezzer? Num. 2, why does he have a old man accent? Who played his voice? Rob Paulsen? Yeah the one who did Technus and I can't believe he voiced him. Well that was off... Who did Junior's voice. Tress McNeille? Are you kidding me? I can at least think of other actresses that did a better job. Elizabeth Daily, Tara Strong, Cree Summer, just to name a few. So why on earth would they do this to Veggietales. Even the olive hound looks scary.

The French Peas look awful and Madame Blueberry is way off from having a french-accent as Jimmy Gourd looks like the vegetable version of Freddy Fazbear. Like I said, it was stupid, unfunny, the songs are bad, and unwatchable to the fact I had a meltdown after this came out!

The show looks like an anime rip-off. Here are some things: 1. Bob and Larry has eyebrows and tongue. 2. Larry looks like a pickle. 3. Petunia sounded like a teenager. 4. Madame Blueberry sounded too British, not French. 5. Junior Asparagus sounded like Jimmy Neutron. 6. Laura the Carrot sounded like female version of Timmy Turner. 7. Archibald looks too skinny and his British accent sounded like he had a frog in his throat. 8. Jean Claude and Philipe looked like circus freaks. 9. Ichabod "Ichabeezer" Money Nezzer sounded like Carl Wheezer, who went for a drink at a bar. 10. Jimmy has cravings or some sort. His brother, Jerry, is too stupid like Sheen from Jimmy Neutron. AND THEIR TEETH LOOKED LIKE VAMPIRE TEETH!!!!!

And that's why, Big Idea should replace Dreamworks with Paramount Pictures/Animation. They love racist stuff.

This show uses too much adult code words adults would love to hear from the young humans. And it's a winning game any way you put it. Because even if the children learn the controlled vocabulary of their adult jail masters, the adults still get to enjoy countless hours of being disappointed, let down, whatever.

The show is unnatural in speech. And the animation is very weird given the vegetables do not have visible hands and legs even if they do seem to use hands and legs.

Still, nice to have some variation from the killer robots routine.

DISCLAIMER:Following review is from the view point of someone who watched the original when I was a child.

If you were a big fan of the original series and you've come here to get a nostalgic re imagining of the beloved show. TURN BACK! I tried to watch all four of the episodes but could not suffer through all of them. I made it through 1 and a half before I had to stop. This version does not live up in any aspect. SONGS, terrible; not memorable in the slightest and seems completely arbitrary. MESSAGE, of the 3 stories I watched I'm not even entirely sure what the faith based lessons they were supposed to be teaching were. Or how they would apply to a child's life! The bible verses they give seem like an after-thought to the each of the central stories. HUMOR, this point really kills it. I may have smirked a few times throughout but mostly it was from the sheer incredulous plot lines. A Mustache cream? Could be funny but handled horribly in this case.

The entire show seems dumbed down. Most of the characters are there but they are hollow unfunny shells. I think the writes serious underestimated what they have. If they'd have taken us who watched it as children into account and made a few nods to the old show or at least kept its best parts, they could have really capitalized on the older generation. But instead they've completely isolated us with this water down stuff. I mean I'm all for making changes but...The new "theme song"? I use that term lightly because it is perhaps the worst theme song in the existence of theme songs. I watched it not 4 minutes ago but the only impact it left was how terrible and bland it was. Silly Songs with Larry? Nowhere to be seen. In the original Larry was indeed silly, and some what scatter brained but I always thought he seemed like a goofy adult. Now he seems like a mentally handicapped adolescent. A true insult to what the show used to be.

The original had sketches based on the bible some were stories right of the bible. When I study now I still remember them! They truly taught me things and helped me learn. I don't see how this could help anyone. Sure it may be leaps and bounds better than the rest of TV programing for kids, but it is still SEVERELY lacking. To parents; stick with the original. To my fellows who enjoyed the show in the past. Say away from this, insulting, boring mess. To the writes of this show. Get your act together. This is just....Awful. How could you.
