The idea of the show is quite inventive. The show is a spoof of reality shows and the characters are spoofs of well known characters. Put together in a house, what could go wrong? Well, an awfully lot. It's really a missed opportunity because the show could have been great. The show tries desperately to be at least ranked among shows like Beavis and Butt-Head (1993), South Park (1997) and Family Guy (1999), with the intention to surpass them in offensiveness, shock and smuttiness. Movies and TV shows nowadays have the tendency to support and promote sexual promiscuity, sexual perversity, drug usage and the trashing of Christianity. Not only is Drawn Together one of such shows, it also tries to do it more more than any other TV show or movie. Drawn Together is so desperate to achieve that goal that everything that makes a good TV show (story, character development, etc) is thrown out of the window. What is left is hard to explain because the show acts more like a device to test what can be shown on TV and what will be accepted by the audience. It's really a shame because the idea of the show is good.The fourth wall is broken all the time. That doesn't have to be a problem, but it is in this show because of the lack of continuity. The characters talk to us as if they watching the TV show with us. Whatever you see in the show it's completely irrelevant because of the lack of continuity. You may see someone dying at one point with a complete dramatic scene, then that person is alive and well in another scene and everybody acts as if nothing has happened. Thus no episode has any real story to tell. It all comes down to pushing the limits of what is acceptable (on TV and by the audience). It's all about shock, offensiveness and smuttiness. In that regard, the show's attempt to spoof film and TV clichés backfires because the show itself becomes overloaded with clichés. The main characters of the show are a good example of that.Captain Hero, a spoof of Superman, is a mentally challenged pansexual sociopath (even worse than Family Guy's Glenn Quagmire). Xandir P. Wifflebottom, a spoof of Link from the Legend of Zelda video games, is a feminized gay (often portrayed as one of the most reasonable characters of the show). Princess Clara, a spoof of Disney princesses, is racist, religious, spoiled, selfish, arrogant and anti-gay. Get the drift? Anything religious and heterosexual is portrayed as insane, hateful and wrong. Anything anti-religious and sexually perverse is portrayed as sane, loving and right. In other words, it follows the the standards of the movie and music industry nowadays, but taken to the extreme in Drawn Together. Once you figure out what the characters are about, they become highly predictable (the show uses shock and offensiveness to combat the predictability, at the cost of rationality, continuity, etc) and therefore clichés. That's how the show also tries to make "jokes". It's like a movie that markets itself as a horror movie that is scary but all the movie really shows is show people getting chopped up in pieces. Gore is not scary, it's just repulsive. Likewise, anything based purely on shock and offensiveness is not funny, it's repulsive. That's exactly how bad Drawn Together is. Some TV shows (like Family Guy) limit themselves in how much they show their support or mere exposure to sex, drug use, etc. Not Drawn Together. The show is overloaded with sex, even exposure to incest and/or inbreeding ("Hot Tub" (season 1, episode 1), "Xandir and Time, Sitting in a Tree" (season 2, episode 11), "Little Orphan Hero" (season 2, episode 3), Unrestrainable Trainable (season 3, episode 4), etc). Drug use, necrophilia, murder (even the murder of children to sell their meat (Unrestrainable Trainable)), racism, etc. That's basically what the show is all about. Insulting Christianity, for example, is enough for most TV shows and movies today, but Drawn Together has to go one step further, like portraying God as touching a penis in curiosity (Gay Bash (season 1, episode 3)). That's Drawn Together, it's shockingly bad, has no standards whatsoever and it's so far the worst insult to TV viewers and their intelligence. I have personally never seen a show (or movie) that has sunk so low, is so disgusting and has absolutely no conscience, humanity or anything like that.Drawn Together is worst adult cartoon ever. Period.

I used to hate this show, some of the earlier episodes felt absolutely revolting, but damn was I wrong! Drawn Together may not be popular like Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons etc but it's one hell of a show. This is one toon comedy you will never forget, its on a totally different level.OK so first of all, it's gross. This makes Family Guy look like Spongebob. It has an obscene amount of nudity (top, bottom, front, back, you name it), lots and lots of cursing and just about everything else you are never supposed to see on TV. If any of this bothers you, then tough luck because you are missing out on a terrific show. Drawn Together is cartoon reality TV about 8 cartoon characters that are put in a house and filmed all the time. These are some of the most demented things you will ever see, and thats not all, the writers have terrific story telling skills and the voice acting is top notch. At a glance people might complain that this show is all about shocking the viewers with incessant vulgarity but stick around for a while and Im sure you will start to love it. This isn't just random fart jokes and cursing, its about great voice actors with excellent comedic timing, the funniest gags and at break neck speeds, and tons of stuff going on in the background which a lot of viewers miss the first time. The haters will hate, never mind them. Just pop in the DVD (watch it uncensored for maximum laughs), sit back and laugh till you pee yourself. The first taste might be a bit too strong for your liking (just like that first stolen sip of scotch from your father's liquor cabinet) but soon you will appreciate the genius and hard work of the people behind this show. Keep an open mind and enjoy.

I remember when I first watch Drawn Together, I thought it was going to be another boring Comedy Central show and it was not terrible or boring it was so humorous and got an amazing animated style. Ever since South Park has its season eleven, I hope that Drawn Together return to their season three and possibly renewal for a season four.Why Comedy Central has to canceling this show always? That makes me disappointed that this show has to go away, another animated may take Drawn Together place, and I do not wanted to see that happen. I mean Drawn Together got like the highest rating on Comedy Central, except for South Park of course.I love South Park and Drawn Together in my heart!

This cartoon may be as rude and adult-friendly as South Park, but this is much better. Drawn Together is a parody of Big Brother and various cartoons such as Josie and the Pussycats, Ren and Stimpy,Spongebob SquarePants and Pokemon. There may be less house restrictions than Big Brother but there are more cameras than a typical Big Brother house.My favourite episodes are Super Nanny, Requiem For A Reality Show, The Spelling Applebees, Foxxy Vs the Board of Education, The Other Cousin, The One Wherein There Is a Big Twist parts 1 and 2 and Clara's Dirty Little Secret. Princess Clara, Toot Braunstein, Ling-Ling and Foxxy Love are particularly well-designed because they look very much like their inspirations (Disney Princesses, Betty Boop, Pikachu and Valerie Brown). The best guest characters are the Peanuts gang, Super Nanny, Strawberry Sweetcake and Clara's mentally retarded cousin Bleh.What I like about this show is the humour and references to other cartoons. What I dislike is the racial discrimination (such as Clara calling Foxxy Blacky Boo and Godzilla calling ling-ling a Twinkie) and the crudeness (for example, Spanky playing a dirty prank on the pizza delivery guy). This is a great cartoon for the over 17s but be warned: this is one cartoon that's definitely not for little kids. 8/10.
