I'm SOOOOOO glad I see more 10 star reviews than any other number!! These characters are some of my favorites in Disney Shows. Creative and fresh plot about a small family adapting to a new and harsher community. The show does well tackling subjects such as having a parent being in prison.

Now, let's talk about characters: Cricket- Our main character who is a rambunctious 10 year old boy. He's a good character but isn't the best one in this show. Tilly- Cricket's hilarious and innocent older sister (slightly older). She is probably tied for best character. Her lines are so funny and original. Bill- Cricket and Tilly's kind-hearted father. He is a farmer who doesn't adapt well to the new community and who cares for his crops and family. Grandma/Alice- Cricket and Tilly's hilarious grandmother (Bill's mother). She is tied with Tilly for best character hands down. She is soooo funny and fresh. Remy- Cricket's best friend who is a rich and innocent little boy. He doesn't know how to fend for himself, but wants to grow up. His parents keep him from having fun until one episode where they let him. He's a pretty funny and well written character. Nancy- Cricket and Tilly's imprisoned mother who is divorced with Bill. She finally comes back in one episode and remains in the show. She is a good character and tries to be the best parent she can. Gloria- Cricket's co-worker at a coffee shop (which Cricket works at because he trashes it and must pay off the debt). She's really funny and has a good little character arc. She's in most of the BEST episodes.

Overall, this show is a wonderful and refreshing treat. This Amphibia and Raven's Home are the only good shows left for Disney. If you're looking for episodes that show off a good light or just some great episodes, here are some:

Axin' Saxon Coffee Quest Uncaged Urban Legend And a lot more episodes I can't think of.

If you haven't seen this show, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go watch it. You won't regret it.

I really enjoy this show. With just 30 episodes out so far, it's clear to see that this will become a hit. It is not a cartoon for just children, it has adult themes in it too (like Cricket and Tilly's mom in jail and getting out, as well as being divorced from Bill). I love the characters, and especially the grandma!

There's so much innovation happening in the cartoon space with animation for grown-ups, darker animation for kids, etc.

After all this, you need to take a little break. And the little break is this show. This show can be described in three words - simple, fun and relaxing.

The story revolves around a very thin plot of a family from the rural South trying to fit in to the hustle and bustle of the "Big City" (most probably New York or Chicago) - the Greens. (I believe there's some metaphor for this show adapting into a heavily innovative space with such a simple outlook.)

The main character is one of the most mischievous yet lovable characters I've seen - Cricket Green, a 10-year-old boy. Cricket might be mischievous and playful, but he is as lovable a little kid in a cartoon can get. Tilly Green, Cricket's 12-year-old sister, seems strange at first, but her caring and daring persona makes her a fan favorite.

Then comes possibly the best cartoon dad - Bill Green. Bill is extremely caring and loves his crops and family. He might have problems adopting to the city landscape, but, he is a fresh breath of air within deplorable cartoon dads of the past few years.

Then, there is my favorite character - Gramma Alice. Grandma is a brave soul with a soft side for her family. Her punchlines hit hard, and I do see a parallel forming with the Grandma from Young Sheldon - brave women who are also incredibly soft hearted to their family.

The side characters are all extremely well-written : The likes of Gloria (Cricket's co-worker and aspiring to go to Paris), Cricket's Mom (who was jailed unfairly) and such.

But, of them all - the most lovable is Remy - a sheltered kid who dreams to play freely, but can't fend for himself. It takes a long time for his literal "helicopter parents" (the pop culture phrase for distant parenting, and actually doing that from a real helicopter) to allow him some independence.

The animation is fluid and smooth, the art is colorful and it seems organic and is relaxing to look at. It seems clean enough to have an aesthetic goodness, but it has enough uniqueness to feel natural.

I mean, it's a fresh breath of air with a simple plot, a relaxing show and has tons of good slapstick and dry humor.

If you like the Simpsons or Phineas and Ferb, you're bound to enjoy it. This is something you can watch with your kids before going to bed and it is literally very relaxing.

Simply put : Phenomenal ; stands out from the crowd

His personality is just awful, he's impatient, brash, ignorant, and careless. Why would you want that as a main character? On that episode where he was drawing with Gloria, he was a straight-up careless jerk. He didn't care about how Gloria was venting her struggles in her life through art, and just thought the paintings were boring. What if someone was like that to you, in real life? You are depressed, socially awkward, and are forced to work with someone like Cricket. They don't care about you, how you feel, your struggles, your needs, or your goals. And the worse part about Cricket, is that it all somehow magically works out for him and everyone else in the end. It doesn't even make sense, are you supposed to learn something from this? By being a jerk to people, and not caring for others, it all works out all right? That's just crud. I know it's a children show, but even as a child I wouldn't enjoy this.
