HouseBroken

It seems like so many people review after just watching the pilot episode of a show. I wasn't impressed with the pilot, but the show grew on me after a couple more episodes. It might not be raunchy or in your face like Family Guy or Southpark, but does every animated sitcom have to be? In my opinion it's more along the lines of Bob's Burgers. More lowkey while still entertaining, and the characters for the most part care about each other. I like how the stories are told from the animals' perspectives. I'm also liking the characters more with each episode as we get to know them.

I think this is a cute little cartoon, and I really like it. Some of these reviews are just bizarre. What exactly were you people expecting from a cartoon about talking animals? One person said they "just don't get the point of it." Again...it's a cartoon about talking animals! It doesn't have any deep meaning or significant purpose. Haven't you people ever watched something just because it was silly and fun? With the exception of documentaries and other educational programming, you could ask yourself what's the point of pretty much all shows in existence. The point is simply entertainment. This show just happens to be entertainment that you don't personally like, and that's fine. But acting like you just can't understand why it's even on the air is beyond ridiculous. I've always thought Seinfeld was absolutely pointless and not funny at all, but many of you act like that's the best thing that ever existed. Different strokes for different folks. I say if you're an animal lover, if you've ever wondered what your pets would say if they could talk, if you can enjoy silly humor about the lives of pets, and you don't take yourself too seriously, then give this show a try. If you think every show has to have some deeper, existential, or philosophical meaning in order to be worth watching, then you will be disappointed.

I had given the show and it's writers a 2 and a scathing review but it and they have won me over - the sexual innuendos, which I felt were gratuitous, have diminished to a more thoughtful trickle and I've become invested in the characters and some of the more clever pet related issues - MAYBE it's that since the pilot I was given a 4 week old kitten ( named Smudge if u must know, and u MUST hehe) and well.... So I'm big enough of a content consumer to admit whe I've been a fool and acted hastily.

It seems that SO many people DEMAND animated shows to be EXACTLY what they expect, usually based on another show (Family Guy, Southpark, whatever) that they like.

Housebroken is....funny. It's not edgy, or crude or in your face. It's just standard issue, excellent voice actor funny.

You like pets and wants to see something funny, Housebroken will do. You want to force it into the mold of whatever else you liked, it probably won't.

Give it a fair-minded shot and you shouldn't be let down.

The show is geuinely interesting and I think people should be more open minded about it wait for more episodes and give it a chance.

The first episode went really fast it wasn't anything amazing but it wasn't horrific but at the same time it left me wanting more and it was kinda funny. It's just the pilot so maybe it will get better in the next upcoming episodes.
