Sin supervisión

I think this show is hilarious. It's obviously made for young adults and older as it contains strong language, sexuality, and drug references. The show appears very immature and thats why it does not appeal to the arrogant, narrow-minded "intellectual" audience. But little do they know that the show is very well scripted. Underlying all the immature comedy and stupidity lies very cleverly placed messages. The show is all about two best friends exploring life as they go through high school and deal with teenage problems under almost poverty-stricken circumstances, broken homes, and the obvious peer pressures that come with puberty and teenage lifestyle. Everyone can relate to this, it's reminiscent of most people's childhood, except for the stuck up "intellectuals" who had no life growing up, and think they're too good for this show. The people that this show relate to probably can't afford cable television to watch it or are too busy dealing with personal problems. Overall this show is hilarious, cleverly written, and surprisingly heart warming. It has a strong complementary cast of characters that hit every element of a smart comedy. Rob is my favorite character, his randomness spikes the comedy in this show.

The first few episodes have been tolerable, and actually IMO, funnier than MTV's similarly themed 'Good Vibes'. It is hard to judge a show so early, I remember lots of people disliked Archer at first, too(Thompson and Reed, as in creators of Archer, Sealab, and Frisky Dingo, are producers on Unsupervised- they know comedy, people). I, for one, will be tuning in, if for no other reason than to kill time waiting for Archer. The voice cast is pretty solid, and they seem to be taking Archer's lead and making it a much more grown up version of a cartoon show about kids. I really like how positive the kids are despite their terrible conditions...it is pretty refreshing.

"Unsupervised", though a little subtler than it's lead in, is actually a great adult cartoon. It's a step up in animation from the usual cable cartoons, and it has something that I feel has been missing from TV animation for a while... good characters and thoughtful stories.

The two main kids are a bit like a sweet-hearted Beavis and Butthead, and they're surrounded by a funny and diverse cast of supporting characters. Anyone who grew up poor can identify with a few things from the first two episodes, which is maybe why so few people seem to understand this little gem.

The stories of the first two episodes are actual stories, which is good news for people who may tire from the shotgun approach of, say, every Seth Mcfarlane show (I like them, but you get the point). So if this alternatively cute and foul show gets canceled, you only have yourself to blame the next time you complain about the current trend of non sequitur jokes and one dimensional characters.

So if you have read the other reviews, you can tell that this is one of those "either you love it or hate" shows. I enjoy it immensely although it is not without its shortcomings. Pros: The two main characters are naive and incredibly likable. The voice acting is superb, the secondary characters are solid as well. The stories themselves are original, humorous, and lighthearted; as are the jokes. Cons: It takes some time getting used to the characters and their situations. The plot sometimes either takes too long to develop or it never fully matures.

You can't make a judgement on just watching one episode and it takes a few viewings to get into the story. I did not add this show to my DVR recordings until after 4 episodes. I would like to see how the characters develop in the future.

Unsupervised is a great show, its not like Beavis and Butthead, all the characters are more complex and have their own distinct personalities and issues to deal with. Some episodes (like any show) are better than others but overall i find myself laughing at this show a great deal. The voices and animation are solid, not mind blowing but look what southpark did with their animation. All in all i really hope this show gets a second season, just cause its positive and about kids growing up doesn't mean it should be attacked by people that mostly just hate Always Sunny; you do need to have some kind of connection to your childhood to fully appreciate the show.
