    Lol bruh. I laughed so hard when the side of the truck slammed against Gretel and it showed a red streak as if it was blood which at first I really thought it was. Then Gretel comes out and says aw man you squished my ketchup packets.

    First, welcome back, dude! I was starting to think you died! Second, I'm glad more people are talking about "Hamster And Gretel". It's WAY better than any show with the premise of "A little girl and her hamster get superpowers from aliens to fight evil" has any right to be!

    And of course, when it comes to villain backstories, Doofenshmirtz's is definitely the saddest. Man's parents didn't show up for his own birth, had to serve as the family gnome, during which he lost his only friend, Balloony. Also was raised by jackals at some point. Yet he still tries to give his own daughter a better life than he got in his home of... *Ghimmelstump.*

    It's nothing against any of the characters of the show, I love all of them. I just need those who live mostly for others to live more for themselves. I place great value in individuality. Yet on a paradox... I also value control greatly, though more as a tool to test the population's limits until they become fit of self-ruling.

    If if I was to rank all the shows I would say 1.milo murphy 9.5/10 it’s probably the best show as it has good comedy and songs. 2.hamster and gretel 9/10 I like the story and the characters same as some of the random jokes. I like there kind of real relationships feeling like real people. 3.the triangle and rectangle show. 8/10. I was born a year after this show started and I watched it till it every day when I was a toddler. It’s a solid show but I probably haven’t seen every episode still lol. Anyway I do like the comedy and the episodes and formula. But it’s not as good as the others (uh oh! Bad choice!) I just think that it’s decent but not that bad it’s a good show when your about to go to sleep and need background noise.

    I remember watching the trailer and I felt nothing, no really, I literally felt nothing
    I did not hate it but I also didn’t like it one bit, I was zero interest in the show and after watching this video, I’m still not interest in watching the show (but I do like Fred, she’s seem a great character, I will probably watch scenes of her on UA-cam) I’m sorry if I sound so harsh but that just my honest opinion
    Even though I’m not a fan of the show, I’m glad there are people who do like Dan Povenmine’s new show because the entertainment industry is a lot harder than it looks
    You can’t please everyone and that’s ok but you need enough people to watch it to be good enough to continuing airing on TV
    I don’t know very much about Dan Povenmire, I only watched a few UA-cam shorts from his channel but he seem a very fun person to be around, so I really wish him the best of luck

      @@CharlesJThomas“The most watched kids Tv show on Disney” that’s great news
      Few hours ago, I was deciding what to watch while I eat some fruit snacks, so I decided to watch the episode where Fred is the main focus (I’m so confused why she got a male name, is that supposed to be short for something?) and I’m glad I decided to watch that episode because I surprisingly chuckles at the jokes and really enjoyed it but I couldn’t help feeling the characters was talking way too fast like there was no time to catch a breath (if that make sense? sorry if I’m not explaining it very well) I’m not sure if I will watch the whole show but I did unexpectedly watched one episode
      I’m glad my opinion on the show was valid and I did not sound like A-hole because I always make sure before typing, to be reasonable and respectful, not someone who just want to type hateful comments
      I really meant it when I said I’m happy for Dan Povenmire because I am aware that animation is not easy to make and coming up with new ideas can be very difficult
      Edit: After writing this comment almost 2 weeks ago, I decided to give the show a chance and I finished watching season 1 today
      I’m so glad I gave it a chance because I really enjoyed watching the show
      I would not say it’s hilarious but it’s funny and chill show to watch
      I can’t help feeling needing cartoon shows with the stupid culture war still going, politics ruining everything and I need to start acting like a real adult now
      Kid cartoon shows make me feel so stress free and I know I’m not the only one

    Honestly having seen the full first 10 episodes, this has some really awesome moments… that are spread out between long stretches of slog. The animation is incredibly stiff which doesn’t help in a superhero show, and the gags they chose to be recurring, are actually very meh. I actually cannot believe how much this show bored me. I hope other people enjoy it more than I did.

    When I first saw the sneak peeks and clips promoting the show I at first thought it had a good premise.....Unpopular opinion incoming now, I overall feel the show is pretty mid tier from everything that Dan Povenmire had been involved with beforehand. Phineas and Ferb is timeless at this point and everybody still makes Dr. Doofenschmirtz and "PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!" memes. Milo Murphy's Law got a raw deal and didn't really get much ability to truly shine in myopion and that is sad to see. Hamster and Gretel......I wish I could say it didn't have a good start but to be frank all of it feels bad comparitively to me. Jokes don't hit without it being more than a little nasal exhale of a chuckle at best, Gretel as a protagonist is almost entirely unlikeable. I understand she is a little girl and in reality children can be annoying, but they turned that dial up to max and then forced it a bit further just to see if that was funny. Kevin can be pretty relatable as a character but I feel he isn't utilized properly. Plus having two deadpan delivery characters in a single roster that are pretty prevalent and almost always present in the show feels like overkill, so Hamster being deadpan and emotionless then Fred also being deadpan and emotionless feels EXTREMELY redundant, you could have had fred be sarcastic but also have emotion and it would have been different enough to warrant her character existing. Overall do I hate the show? No, I don't recoil in disgust and tell everybody it is trash. I just don't like it much and it feels like it tries TOO hard without trying at all at the same time if that makes any sense? Like somebody trying to make the joke funny by saying it in a goofy exaggerated voice so you end up laughing possibly cuz of how silly the voice was but not the actual joke itself....all in all this show is a no for me chief.

      It's the humor that carries it
      Also to say that Milo Murphy's Law has no stakes is an outright lie, yeah nobody's going to die but there are many times where Murphy's Law does in fact screw up whatever the characters are trying to do, the reason it always works out is because it's a story, and I mean it doesn't always work out
