I was drawn to this little series because of the anthro dogs and the fact that, except for her tail, Bethany is a definite Brittany, and I happen to have one. =) Anyway?almost all of the criticisms that?ve been heaped upon the cartoon are utterly ridiculous. Nothing could be easier than to sit there and bash anything. If they are honestly serious--which is doubtful since they keep watching the new episodes--I would love to see them make something better. Or even half as good.
Anyone with a sense of humor ought to enjoy this little show, even if it doesn?t literally make them laugh out loud (which it really should.) No, it?s not the greatest online masterpiece I?ve ever seen or anything like that, but it?s funny, clever, and entertaining.
For instance, what?s all this nonsense about the ?sigh? and ?gasp? and all of that? Wow. That is an intentional joke. It?s funny. It?s funny when people say it in real life, too, when it is ALSO an intentional JOKE. A sarcastic type, not a ?LMAO? type. What?s not to understand there?
Sheesh. ?Game Dogs? has been hilarious from the start. The trailer was appealing, Gary?s responses to forum posts were amazing (Gary is a terrific character--a Chihuahua, I?m assuming), and the first two episodes plus the ?Behind the Scenes? were very amusing. The third one is where it starts to get REALLY good; Mr. Yee (a Chinese Crested, no less) was incredible.
From there, the series got pretty much better and better. Hilarious writing and a lot of really great moments. I?m also loving Bob the giant Basset Hound. The main mutts (Shepherd Chet & Terrier Roger) are a good combination that works well with ?the token girl.?
I look forward to more, and I?d advise the creators not to pay attention to the absurd critiques, except for laughs. Sure, some eps are better than others, but the characters are all cool, and for the most part it?s hysterically irreverent. Better than MANY other Internet toons and certainly no worse than most. Besides, wouldn?t we all like a real version of their game?!
