    It's broad, accessible comedy - the kind of show where you aren't sure what to expect, but once you sit down, you keep watching.

    It’s the grade of funny this show seems to have accepted - cute, giggle-worthy, and only a smidgen dangerous.

    Finding original humor in this tired old horse of a format may not only be difficult, but close to impossible.

    The show is clever in parts, but it's just not that funny.

    Sadly, these factors [Kevin Nealon, Catherine O'Hara and puppet animation] only amplify my disappointment in what, on the basis of one episode and a handful of clips, looks to be a weak and wheezy show.

    Dentists can indeed be funny, but not when they're as toothless as Glenn Martin, DDS.

    It's a format that just doesn't mesh with a laughtrack -- and when there's nothing particularly funny about what we're watching, it smacks of desperation.

    But ignore the stilted jokes, the limp characterization, the complete lack of "re-imagining" of anything. Just understand this: Martin is an animated show with a laugh track.

    The overall concept is so tired and the execution, despite the overlay of gross-out humor, so hackneyed that we could just as well be watching something from Mr. Eisner’s early career as a chief executive.

GMDDS is a gleefully subversive animated show that can hold its own against anything Fox has ever aired on a Sunday night. Part of a short-lived effort from Nick-At-Night to produce programs that would appeal to the parents of its daytime audience, the network shot itself in the foot TWICE with this program. First was the bizarre insistence in adding a laugh track to the first few episodes. While the track was quickly scrapped after critics savaged it, the program had already acquired the reputation of "that claymation show with the laugh track." Another misstep was aggressively marketing the show to the pre-tween viewers of SpongeBob. When parents got a look at what their kids were watching, they went ballistic.

    Despite these fumbles by the network, the show did garner a devoted cult audience which found the show on Amazon Prime and Youtube.    … Full Review »

    The humour is ok but the plots are weak and sometimes boring and pointless.
