Currently at 4.9. Did I miss something?


This show is pretty cool, it's not perfect and definitely not up there with the likes of gumball, regular show and adventure time but it's not anything below a 7. Is it being downvoted for some reason? Do you guys not like snakes? This is the weirdest rating on imdb I have ever come across.

I agree; the show's really fun. I really think it's mostly the 90s kids here who trashed the show (and wanted Nick to air their beloved shows again)*. I've heard much of the criticisms:

- It's a grossed out show (It is to some degree, but the series barely focused on it. Then again, Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy had grossed out moments as well.)

- It's a ripoff of Regular Show. Not completely true. However, a lot of people don't know that a few people who had worked on Sanjay and Craig have also worked on Regular Show. I think this stems from Nick's promos of the series before its debut (pne of these have Sanjay and Craig snickering reminiscent of Mordecai and Rigby) that led many people to think that SaC is very Regular Show-esque.

- And despite the complaints from the 90s kids, the guys behind popular Nick series The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, are the producers behind Sanjay and Craig.

Sanjay and Craig is popular enough for Nick to give the show three seasons and some merchandise. The show doesn't deserve this much negativity.

*By the way, I love many cartoons from that era as well cartoons of today. Even better, of any era. I really wish that rose-colored glasses mentality should stop. 

I'm a huge animation fanatic as a way to escape the 'real world' and finally gave this a shot. Reminds me of a dry landed Misadventures of Flapjack. Really witty with some adult theme slip ins. Lots of small little minute details on how they speak and little sayings. Like when people talk like thisssss-uhhhh. You know-wuhhhh???

I'm having a blast watching this in my 'viewing bed'. And that weird enemy guy with the two huge hair cylinders.. with his cat always hissing and pissing is hilarious

I guess it is every person's personal opinion because I think it is amongst the worst *beep* ever on TV.
