Reviews

obiwayne I spent the last few weeks watching the first season of The Awesomes. Given the people who created it and the people involved, I expected it to be nothing less than great. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite make it there, but it isn't horrible either. The show never became as focused on one humor style as it needed to be. One minute it would be a clean and family friendly superhero show with middle of the road humor and then the next minute it would veer into a more edgy scenario or joke and change the mood completely. This type of thing can work, but I don't feel it did for The Awesomes. All in all, I found myself wanting to like it more than I actually did, and that's a shame. Maybe if a season two appears they will become a little more focused the overall humor style and it could become something more akin to wonderful Venture Brothers instead of a slightly edgy Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

Jacob Monroe It seems that many reviews have been throwing around show titles such as Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, and more. If these are what you are comparing the show to, then yes, you will in fact be disappointed, because it is nothing like those shows, and that is exactly why I love it. I have never liked Family Guy or American Dad, and The Simpsons have their best days behind them. This show how ever picks up where it left off almost every single episode, and that is what I crave. I don't just look for a stream of quick laughs, but rather a compelling story line that isn't afraid to put the time and effort in to earn my laughs. Sorry, but watching a guy hold his knee and go "Ahhh" for two minutes straight just doesn't cut it for me. I need character development, and situational humor, which is exactly what The Awesomes offers. I certainly hope this show lasts a very long time.

mama bird Huge SNL fan here, and follower of Mr Meyers, Paula Pell, and their entertaining tweets. You got to give Seth points for taking his comic book love plus our nostalgia for Saturday morning cartoons and cranking it up with clever dialogue and a well rounded cast of characters. C'mon, how many other supergroups have this many female fighters or a hero with mommy issues? Add in some questionable super powers, old lady love, brains, and brawn.... and you get The Awesomes. Even the product placement works --- Kudos to the sponsor for playing along with the gag. Bonus - You'll have fun guessing all the familiar voices. Thank goodness for the 'pause' button! Add in the Ambiguosly Gay Duo, and I'd give it a 10.

rwhalt I created an IMDb account for the sole reason of voicing my opinion about this show. To be blunt, this series is only 3 episodes in, and I'm loving it. As the only other review so far on IMDb points out, this isn't Family Guy, The Simpsons, or American Dad w/ super powers... and that's a good thing. Here's why.I enjoy shows like the ones I just mentioned, but very rarely do you find a show like this, with the courage to propose continuity without taking itself too seriously. This show isn't cynical of it's world or it's audience, and it's frankly refreshing to find a superhero comedy that isn't willing to sacrifice it's characters just for the quickest low-brow guhawf.The Awesomes is very earnest in it's desire to present an new Super Hero comedy that isn't dark or gritty, but also isn't an acidic parody of the genre. So far it surprises with it's general lack of foulness, and isn't willing to compromise it's vision by catering to the lowest common denominator. I say give it a watch and here's hoping this show will get the audience it deserves, as well as keep away from compromising creator vision, which would be awesome!
