"The Simpsons" spawned a wave of inferior imitators, few of which survived. "South Park" and "Family Guy" seem to have inspired a similar interest in the prolific production of adult cartoons. TNN, FOX, The Cartoon Channel and Comedy Central seem dead set on producing a wave of adult toons, very few of which are any good. This is no renaissance of cartooning, but a saturation period of mostly mediocre toons, with a few good ones splattered about. "Drawn Together" is one of those poorly done toons from "The Family Guy" generation of imitators.
This cartoon is dreadful. None of the characters are funny, none of the situations are funny. The parodies of stock cartoon characters (the Pokemon creature, the "Sleeping Beauty" Disney princess, Superman, and the anime or fantasy epic elf) are very badly rendered. I don't like the current trend in animation, where toons are poorly animated and resemble abstract shapes rather than real people or animals. Sure, it may be cheaper, but I ain't watching. Like "Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon," this toon thinks that amped-up gross out humor equals mature adult content. This assumption is both stupid and insulting. Swill like this is the reason I do not watch Comedy Central. They had better hold on to "The Daily Show" and "South Park" while they still can, or else they risk sinking to the bottom of the cable TV ratings barrel.
