I wish there were more episodes!!!! This show was and still is brilliant. The voice acting and writing is superb. It is impossible for me to watch a single episode without actually laughing out loud. Often very dry, always a very honest view of reality seen through the eyes of children who seem to understand life as much as they are confused by it. This is a great show that should not be over looked.

17 years later, It's still hilarious. The realism of the show is superb. It truly has the perfect everything within the cult-classic. From the comedy, to the transitions, you'll always score a laugh, no matter how many times you watch it! No wonder why It's rated ”One of the best animated TV show's of all time“. Because it is! It's unfortunate they've concluded the series. Many others, including myself, have been waiting for a Season 5! Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone that truly wants a laugh!

There's someone on here who just says hate as a review. I could use a lot of one word four letters word to describe what I think but I won't. This show should still be on it was brilliant using such subtle humor such real people and what real feelings.. You have to get past the first seasons use of squiggle vision but thankfully they moved on to flash But I miss this show. I watch it when I miss my old friends Melissa Brandon and Jason and I wish I could watch new. Movies they would make but is here.
