The toughest part of most new series is coming up with characters that the viewer will want to watch for weeks, if not years, on end, and they've already licked that part of it. We'll see if the rest follows. Read full review

Not all of Unsupervised's jokes stick their landing, and the content is on the crude side. But I'm willing to check up on Gary and Joel every so often to see how they're acting out while growing up. Read full review

Unsupervised might induce at least a small handful of smiles per episode. But only if its mood strikes you. Read full review

Unsupervised doesn't explore emotional story threads. It's mainly a Beavis and Butt-head echo. Read full review

Unsupervised appears content to amble along, reiterating what we've seen before. Read full review

A gross-out cartoon. Fans of "Archer" likely won't sit still for the more juvenile antics of Unsupervised. Read full review

You partially feel guilty about criticizing a show that boasts so much talent, is so well-meaning, and yet misses the mark entirely, but I defer to the gurus on this one: Uh–huh-huh-huh-huh, this sucks. Read full review

This show is a great example of one of the many problems with the world today... nobody has any patience. It doesn't go for the jugular with cheap yucks and silly one-liners. Instead, it builds its characters slowly, and the payoff, if you stick with it, is great.

If fact, I would argue that shows like the Simpsons and early Futurama would have never lasted today. They would have taken too long to build an audience. But once you get into the characters, the sky's the limit. And these are some great characters, especially the two main kids and their three main peers at school.

Kudos to FX and the Sunny guys for having the balls to try something like this. I hope it works.… Expand

I thought this show was great and had a very funny start. You find yourself relating with Joel and Gary, as they're not bad kids but find themselves in bad situations trying to be cool and figuring out life. The supporting characters were very funny as well, especially Russ and Darius. ItI thought this show was great and had a very funny start.

This show really was funny to me, because it reminded me of my own highschool. I think if you went to a poor midwestern school, a lot of the jokes which seem vulgar and unreal, ring a little more truly. I think this show did a great job of capturing the pathos of being poor high schooler andThis show really was funny to me, because it reminded me of my own highschool.

The show "Unsupervised" is the show made by the guys in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" which is a very highly acclaimed T.V. show on FX like Unsupervised is on FX as well. Now from my perspective the show isn't bad but it isn't good either. They took their trailer trash humor fromThe show "Unsupervised" is the show made by the guys in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" which is a very highly acclaimed T.V. show on FX like Unsupervised is on FX as well. Now from my perspective the show isn't bad but it isn't good either. They took their trailer trash humor from "Always Sunny" and tried to make it work in an animated show. It doesn't look like a show that will make it past two seasons.… Expand

Another piece of crap from Fox in their continued campaign in the dumbing down of America. Nothing of substance to even write about, not a shred of humor.
