Review of SheZow

SheZow (2012–2013)
9/10
Not always perfect, but nearly always funny
18 January 2015
The animation values are good as Flash goes, and though the central conceit of the show seems like "dude looks like a lady" at first blush, the truth is a little more nuanced. It quickly becomes less "Bugs Bunny in drag, writ large" and blossoms as the (serialized) adventures of Guy and his friends righting wrongs and trying to make it as a super-heroine. Both learning to cope with powers and appearing to be a woman are initially frustrating for the main character, but most episodes join the chorus that "it's what you do that matters, not what you look like or what people THINK you should be like."

Adults sometimes skew a little high-brow or "upper ages", though rarely Shrek-level toilet humor. I'd recommend this title for precocious eight-year-olds and up - way up. If it's on, tape it. If it's taped, watch it with the kids or without. It's not perfect, but the sight gags and throwaway jokes alone are worth the chuckle runtime of an episode.
