cprather-23748 I watched the entire season although some episodes weren't as good as others they were all pretty funny. The animation was excellent, I believe it got nominated because of it and the music was great as well and really fit into the theme. I've heard many people compare the show to archer but they are completely different shows with their own style of comedy and style and I personally believe that this one does a much better job at pacing there episodes than archer has. I feel like the show was just discovering who it was in the second half of the season. It really needed more episodes like episode five where it really shows you how funny it can be. Although it was canceled I would have really liked to see a second season.
Brian Umholtz I really, really wanted this to be good. Great stars are combined with a beautiful aesthetic. It has a "Metalocalypse" vibe to the character artwork and animation, and I love the send-up of 80s pseudo-haute design and buddy cop show serialization.The trouble is this: it's not funny. Guest stars like Adam West and Patrick Warburton help a bit, but the lines the main characters speak from episode to episode have a sort of disconnection to them. The plot of each episode seem like a good premise, but once it gets going, I'm disappointed. The shows just don't "pop". About 5 minutes into each one, I would say to myself, "Okay, this looks like this will be the one to hit its stride," and it just never happens.It feels like none of the actors were in the same studio at the same time to read when I watch Moonbeam City. I half expect Rob Lowe to just say, "Ann Perkins!" at some point. Will Forte is wasted here.. even the attempt to really develop his character in one episode feels half-hearted. However, Elizabeth Banks and Kate Mara both have moments throughout the series so far with Rob Lowe that make me pine for more- especially after the third episode.I'm very disappointed up to this point. I hope things change in season two because there are a lot of really good ingredients here. It would be a shame for the recipe to stay so bland.
thenextgenjedi A lot of people immediately wrote this show off based on the pilot alone calling it an Archer knock off. Both shows star an attractive, bumbling male lead and honestly, that's about where the similarities end. I love Archer, but I LOVE Moonbeam city. The show has no desire to have grounded story lines and delivers a clever, entertaining way to kill a half-hour. If you haven't seen the show or stopped after the first episode give it a shot and really stick til at least the third episode and then build your own opinion separate from the deluge of Archer fans smashing on a completely separate show. The fan favourite is Episode 3, but so far my two favourites are Episode Two and Five.Amazing show that really deserves a chance. If every show was judged solely on it's Pilot than Archer and Seinfeld never would have existed.
scottjeansonne Similar humor sensibilities to adult cartoons mentioned in summary title. Love the subtle jokes as well as 80/90s cultural references. Not a show with universal appeal but do not think this is what they are going for. Rob Lowe's voice and acting sensibilities really add to the humor. This was one of the first shows I've watched in a while and caught myself laughing out loud. If they can keep this level of humor going even for one season, this will definitely become another cult guilty pleasure series to add to my list. I would not be surprised if it does not make it past the first season due to this being a very specific type of humor that is likely not to gain many fans beyond those who already love this type of adult toon comedy.
