    ONE OF THE MOST CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED COMEDIES OF THE 21st CENTURY. GMDDS is a gleefully subversive animated show that can hold its own against anything Fox has ever aired on a Sunday night.

First wasONE OF THE MOST CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED COMEDIES OF THE 21st CENTURY. 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. its a great show, funny jokes, dont get why some people criticize the animation, although it could go without that damn dog, aside from that the only people that dont like it ( or obnoxiously complain for that matter) are these over protective parents that dont recognize pure and simple comedy with an edge.

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

    I really really like this show! I found it on iTunes and was hooked almost immediately. What is an okay premise -- the show is basically "The Simpsons take to the road" -- is elevated by beautiful animation, imaginative story telling, and the great vocal talents of Kevin Nealon and Catherine O'Hara.

My favorite episode guest starred Chrissie Hynde as part of an over the hill "bangles" band, and told a nice story about dreams versus priorities, and how wives are expected to subjugate themselves for their husbands. Set the Tivo and check it out. I have no idea when it's on. Expand

    This Christmas Vacation, a lot of people were talking about how funny it was. I originally resisted it, but recently watched a marathon. Now I'm hooked.

    Not for preschoolers. I think that's what all the anger's about. When "Taxi" runs on NAN, people understand it's not for kids. But because this is animation, they automatically assume it's okay for pre-schoolers, and are angry when they see it isn't.

    Unbelievably enough, the show is WORSE after the removal of the laugh track and oft-seen dog butt. The only reason I gave it a 1/10 is because I know that this show can do even worse.

    I've watched almost every episode of this crap. No I'm serious and it's one of the worst things I've ever seen. When it comes to shows I like to torture myself by watching some really bad shows. This being one of them. The jokes are awful, the characters aren't likable and it has some really bad claymation.

    I don't care about you stupid concerned parents! This show is drop-dead hilarious. And shouldn't you be monitoring what your kids watch anyways? I find it dumb that you let them watch a show you didn't approve of. I LOVE GLENN!

    This show makes my family LAUGH! We love it. Don't find it too racy. The naughty jokes go over the kids heads, but there's another layer for adults.

    After finding out that the idiot who put money into this show was Michael Eisner, I must say I am relieved he is no longer with Disney and allowing trash! I am shocked at the fact that this gets aired on Nickelodeon. I am not sure what they are thinking but 8 pm young children are up but I guess now my child will not be watching nick at all. This is nuts!

    The tide is turning -- the right people seem to be finding it and digging. Nick made a mistake to market actively to the toddler set, it's really for 10 and above. Think when high schoolers/college guys find it, it's path will be set.

    What a terribly unfunny show. They even took out the laughtrack to make it seem funnier. Didn't work. It's just terrible. The jokes are bad, the characters are bad, the plot is bad. It's stale, to say the least. I feel like they try to jam in as many inappropriate things as possibly to try to make modern day children laugh.

    This is a terrible show for children ... Nick should be ashamed of themselves to have such a show on. My children are not allowed to watch it. The content is not at all for children ... for example ... The wife says to Glenn the dentist ... I like fighting, make up sex is the best ... WHAT?? Children are watching this!

    this show is horrible! it shouldn't be on nikelodeon, especially not at this time slot. it comes on at 8, when my daughter usually goes to bed, but is adevertised throughout the day. jokes about banging the babysitter, handjobs, and watching porn are inappropriate on a channel that is geared towards kids!!

    Nikolodeon Have you no shame? With this degredation and perversion you will be responsible for hurting innocent children. This will stand as a testimony against you at the last day.

    Reading the comments below, many of the people who gave this show low marks freely admit to not watching it. As someone who has watched it, I really like it. It feels like the Simpsons when it started. I'll be excited to see how it grows.

    For those of you defending this show's 8 PM timeslot, do remember that 8 PM on the east coast is 5 PM on the west coast, certainly an hour reasonable parents would assume would have safe programming. Like other posters, I'm no prude, and was a huge Beavis and Butt-head fan many years ago, but find it totally irresponsible and uncaring of the desires of families to allow such a For those of you defending this show's 8 PM timeslot, do remember that 8 PM on the east coast is 5 PM on the west coast, certainly an hour reasonable parents would assume would have safe programming. Like other posters, I'm no prude, and was a huge Beavis and Butt-head fan many years ago, but find it totally irresponsible and uncaring of the desires of families to allow such a show to be broadcast at such an early hour in our part of the country. And, to tell the truth, it's not terribly funny - there's even a scene from the "Amish Anguish" episode on the Nick at Night homepage, featuring the dad being caught watching a porn video, complete with the baby sitting next to him on the couch. Nice. No thanks. Expand

    I love it. Reminds me of Family Guy, with more heart. A large majority of the comments are bashing the show for not being oriented for kids. I think people are confusing Nick @ Night for Nickelodeon. Nick @ Nite = adults Nickelodeon= kids.

    The show is clever in parts, but it's just not that funny.
  2. 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.

    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.
