In the past few years, Cartoon Network has been trying to get on its feet again. After the disastrous CN Real stuff, most of those shows were canceled, and the remaining ones were restricted to one night. There were some good cartoons on like Ben 10, Generator Rex, and so on. Then someone at CN decided to green light this monstrosity known as The Problem Solverz. It centers around 3 friends named Horace, the leader, Roba, the smart one, and Alfe, the comedy relief. They go around and solve "mysteries" (I use that term lightly), and save their town. Now the first thing besides how generic and boring the premise is that this show canceled a way better cartoon, Sym-Bionic Titan. While that show wasn't groundbreaking it had a good story, complex characters, and great action. Instead of a really good cartoon we are instead given this mess. The only reason Titan got canceled was due to poor toy sales. That's right despite the critical acclaim this show canceled SBT all because of bad toy sales. But I digress though, so what's wrong with this show besides a bad premise? Boring and flat characters, appalling humor, and some of the worst artwork and animation I have ever seen. The characters have no personalities to them at all and are boring. Horace is the standard leader who acts so monotone all the time. Roba is not smart at all, and acts stupid a lot, and and is always freaking out. Alfe though is the worst, and all his attempts at humor result in just face palm after face palm. In one episode it kept showing Alfe with his obsession with jean shorts. Is that even funny at all? The problems and mysteries themselves sound decent enough, but are most of them are very predictable. The Problem Solverz themselves can't handle the most simple of problems, and always go to this dog named Tux Dog who always has the answer. As for humor it's just dreadful, and unfunny. Alfe tries to do these funny gags, but they always are so pathetic. The rest is toilet humor that is used too much. I don't mind toilet humor, but this show uses it too much. This show also has some of the brightest and most colorful animation I have ever seen on a show. I don't mind bright colors, but everything in this show is so brightly colored and flashy it makes me sick, and gives me a migraine. If you have a history of seizures than this show should not be viewed by anyone at all. The character designs are also horrible to look at. Horace has huge buggy eyes, Roba looks more like a cardboard box that was cut to look like a robot, and his eyes close vertically, and Alfe looks like Domo on drugs. I don't even know what Alfe is supposed to be at all. The animation is very stiff in this show, and is very choppy. Characters move awkwardly, and move stiffly like they have arthritis. I can only hope this show is scrapped as soon as possible, and CN does not give this show a second season. I honestly do not know why this show ever was allowed to be shown at all. It has no redeeming qualities at all. The stories are bland and unoriginal, the characters are annoying, the humor is wretched, the artwork is way too colorful even for a kids show, and it took over a better show that you could have watched, Sym-Bionic Titan. I want to know what Cartoon Network was hoping to accomplish out of showing this garbage in the first place. It's like they intentionally wanted to anger fans out there.
Final thoughts: Do not see this show, and avoid this show by all means necessary.
