I first heard about this show from two of my friends and I thought "sounds incredibly morbid and gory. Not my type of show" But really, when you think about it , it isn't that morbid at all. At times it can be quite happy. I love the animation style. Stop motion takes a lot of time and patience, and to make a whole TV series out of it is just amazing. And now, I berate all you critics out there.ahem: how can anybody say this show is unoriginal???How many other shows have there been about a bunch of freak orphans who live in the middle of nowhere with a dysfunctional nanny who does nothing but glide around giggling? Name me a single one and I'll drop it. Okay enough of that. Personally, I would recommend this show to just about anybody-as long as they have a slightly sick sense of humor. If you have no sense of humor don't watch it, it's that simple. I love all the characters, especially Seymore talkless(the mute with one giant eye who plays the violin:get it everybody?), Charlie(the flaming kid everybody says is gay:stereotypes!), and Aldous (the goth girl:and much to her displeasure, babysitter). I especially love how Aldous is forced to take care of them all, particularly after episode 13, where Nanny Goodapple leaves them and leaves her in charge of the gurney.The only problem with this show is that it's only on once a week and so far has only 13 episodes, when it deserves so much more...
