Here are some customer reviews of
Drawn Together - Season One
: I thought the series broke new ground, as an adult comedy, that wasn't afraid to step on a few toes, and brake some rules. I was disappointed that all I ever seemed to get was re-runs of them, and I did not get to see the entire series...but, I am buying it so that I can watch it. My favorite episode has to be the very first one, when they all meet....side splitting laughter..
 Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the "Not Another Teen Movie" of television animation. "Drawn Together", which is paired up with the long-running "South Park" on Comedy Central Wednesdays nights, is just a piece of work by two guys who are so desperate to make a movie or TV show, that they collect spoofs of other movies and shows and an abundence of vulgar humor, and they pass it off as comedy. Every joke is loud, dumb, violence, gross and obvious. Still, it made me laugh.
I'm not sure why, but one explaination may be how the characters seem to give good animated performances. For example, you got the wonderful Tara Strong ("The Fairly Oddparents", "Teen Titans", "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends") as Princess Clara, who is a WASPy Disney-type, and as Toot, who is a washed-up pop icon who's gained more than a little weight. In both cases, where the characters are real bitches, Strong pulls through stellarly. The same goes for Cree Summer ("Rugrats", "Codename: Kids Next Door") as Foxy Love, who is a sexually provocative spin on the Val character of "Josie and the Pussycats", for Adam Corolla as internet download Spanky Hamm (who obviously isn't different from his own type), character actor Jack Plotnik as Xandir, a queer video game warrior, Abby MacBride as an appropriate spin on the Pokemon fad, Ling-Ling, and for pretty much the entire cast.
In it's own way, the parody seems to work at being wildly funny, in the way that it almost gives a moral, but holds itself back as to avoid imitating it's compainion piece, "South Park". As a matter of fact, the pairing of the two shows together is more or less genius, and they really work...together.
The DVD for this show has more bonus features than the sets for it's companion piece. I would recommend getting this set with the new sixth season set for "South Park" (the season I think is best for that show), as I just mentioned how they seem to go together perfectly.
Of course, I wouldn't recommend this to people who don't like this kind of humor, such as my parents.
esta serie es muy buena y chistosa al igual que south park de verdad que vale la pena comprarla y verla no se la pueden perder
 We've all sit down and watched reality shows go from something small to the seemingly dominating genre of popular television shows over the last few years. From shows like Survivor, Big Brother, The Apprentice, and The Real World and every one inbetween, we have all had the same thought: WHEN WILL IT STOP?!?!
Well, leave it to Comedy Central of all networks to come up with a show that takes the entire reality genre and gives it a swift and strong kick in the backside. Last year, Comedy Central took the entire reality world and threw it into a twist by creating an anti-reality reality show with Drawn Together, a reality show that took 8 animated characters based on popular real-life characters and threw them into a reality setting by putting them into a house with over a millions cameras watching their every move.
The characters include a cute but racially blind princess, a seriously annoying creature similar to Spongebob Squarepants, an overweight black and white 1920's screen sex symbol reminiscent of Betty Boop, a video game hero who is showing latent homosexual tendencies, a sexy mystery-solver/musician who apparently sleeps with anything with 2 legs and something between them, a dim-witted superhero, a creature that seems like the anti-Pikachu, and a crass Internet download.
Drawn Together: Season One shows the first 8 episodes of the series and is a lot more raunchier than when the episodes originally aired on Comedy Central due to the fact that each episode contains added scenes that were removed for time or just due to them being too raw for air and were saved exclusively for the DVD release. The gang deals with situations that in some aspects would and wouldn't happen in a regular reality show and takes jabs (or in some cases body blows) at not just the reality shows that it is intended to make fun of but other forms of entertainment as well, including a rather interesting potshot at the film Monster's Ball.
Recently, Comedy Central aired the 8th and final episode of the first season just as it airs on the DVD as part of the network's Saturday late night block Secret Stash, but one scene was omitted and blocked by a black screen due to one of the characters doing something you REALLY could not show on TV.
Additional features on the 2 disc set include commentaries on 6 of the show's episodes, deleted scenes, a Censored/Uncensored game where you have to guess if the line that the pictured character says was or was not edited from the original aired show, and a karaoke sing-along.
Now that season 2 of the show is underway, you might want to grab this to get caught up to see what the buzz is about ans get "drawn" into the fun of Drawn Together...
The best new toon out there. Purely adult but if you want your children brought up right, you'll make em' sit through it anyway. Something has to prepare them for the road ahead. They'll learn all the crap in school anyway. Why make em' wait? For the best in satire, filthy toilet humor, and just all around tastefully done bad taste, it's gotta be Drawn Together. Fun the whole family can enjoy.
