The writing... I hate it so much.


Aside from the voices, the one main thing I can't stand... the writing. It feels lazy and weak, even not when compared to the Garfield & Friends show, which might have been cheesy but felt well-thought out.

The dialog feels forced and simple, and for a show that is supposed to feel funny it feels very very slow, and it feels as if half the time they just write dialog to fill the show, but that doesn't set up any jokes or add anything to the plot. It reminds me a bit of that Dora explorer bit where she tells you what's on the screen and then asks you a stupid question.

ANYWAY

This is all of course my opinion. The whole point of this is that I've seen several people say this writing is better than G&F, or even great in general, and I'm honestly curious as to why people think that. It all boils down to opinion of course but I really want to understand the other side of this.

Unreal...it's a CARTOON! It's for KIDS! You think kids are focused on the "writing"? Give me a break this show is great!
