This is like 90 percent of Adult Swim's entries. Crass, obnoxious, and obscene. And not all that clever. If you want to see those themes with a better execution, check out the rather absurd Tripping the Rift. Or Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force. This is like a "reality tv" show for animated cartoons. It's also just as dull and mean-spirited as reality tv.

"Drawn Together" isn't a bad show, but it's definetly not for anyone. This is easily one of the most offensive cartoons to date. If you can handle that, you may find it amusing and funny. The characters' voices are excellent, so is the animation. Personally, I enjoy the series, but keep in mind that I am not easily offended (from the second season onwards this show goes to the extreme, even more than Ren&Stimpy for example).

If you want an example of a clever idea torpedoed by horrible execution, look no further. It's a clever idea, but ultimately it's so shredded by the peurile writing that I can't bring myself to care about it.

I am gobsmacked that this series is rating 8.0 on imdb (from a small enough number of votes to be the production crew, admittedly.) To me it represents everything that makes me wish, now and then, that 'adult animation' (read, crudity aimed at 15 year olds) had never caught on.

It's the Big Brother concept. This disparate group of cartoon characters are shoved together into a closed house: jealousies and paranoia develop; personalities spin out of control; people are interviewed in private, and complain and plot about the other members. Crushes develop. Nobody seems to notice that the Pikachu look-a-like is hell bent on murdering the entire cast; people get nude in the shower. There is about as much crass, crude, stupid humour as there is in the real life version. But who really wants to see a satire of something gross and obnoxious, which is equally gross and obnoxious. Obviously a lot of people.

I can't honestly say that the series is without any merit at all, but when I think of it, the image that sticks in my mind is an alcoholic Betty Boop dragging her arse along the carpet. That's not getting any stars from me.

After spending time thinking about this horrible series, I think I'll have to watch some Aqua Teen Hunger Force, to remind myself that adult TV animation can really be inspired.

I'm sure this series has its devotees who can reel off all the clever references, but without meaning to insult anyone, I think this is aimed at the same sort of audience as 'Shame of the Jungle' was in the 80's. A damn shame. In the right hands, this might actually have been memorable. As it is, I just wish I could forget it.

It gets half a star for the originality of the concept, but for nothing else.
