Hamster and Gretel is refreshing
michaeljhuman27 September 2022
Having grown up in the 70s and 80s, when most cartoons were dumb, it's nice to see relatively intelligent cartoons.

This cartoon, doesn't seem dumbed down for kids. There's occasional meta humor. A kid in a classroom called crickets their favorite Arthropod. The father, an apartment manager tries to explain the cooling cycle on a fridge. Badly, but at least he made the effort.

The interactions between various characters is lighthearted, and pleasant, refreshing in this era of conflict. We got the mom, dad, brother and sister in a relatively functional family which is refreshing, as dysfunctional families are popular in so called entertainment.

For you 90s cartoon fans, there's even a Daria clone, I was a fan of Daria, so I can't help but love the Daria clone.

In this particular episode, we got disco, and an evil scientist. I found it funny and cute. I wondered how the target audience, probably preteens, would understand the disco related humor, that being ancient history. Maybe they wanted this show to be liked by adults too?

Check it out if you are tired of the "edgy" programming, and so called reality TV of the modern era. I get it, people like edgy, conflicts, drama, yelling, what have you. I just want something to watch that's light and entertaining.
