    Why do people like this show? What do you find good or funny about it?

    I want an unbiased opinion. I am not here to flame this show; however, I am watching it right now and I don't really get the appeal. I don't want to bash this show, I just want to understand why its fans are rating it so highly. I want to find out how you fans can find it so funny.

    Please do not flame me; I am just here to inquire.

    well, one thing that may contribute to it is that it's a cartoon version of survivor (sorta). And there really aren't any other cartoon shows like it. Another thing that may contribute to it, is that the show isn't a complete childrens show. They actually sware sometimes. Comparred to the other shows on cartoon network right now, it's a good difference. I mean, the only other new shows are chowder and flapjack, and those are just complete random, not much of a plot, children's shows.

    This is my opinion.

    Some of the humor on it just has to appeal to you to enjoy it, too. I personally like the humor on it, so therefore i really enjoy the show!

    i like the show because i like not knowing whos gonna be voted (even though i learned on like the 3rd episode who wins), i like how they can say words that we in the U.S. think of as swears, and the show seams funny to me. there will always be a few people who dont like a show that a lot of people like.

    It's a fairly enjoyable watch. For it's intended target audience, the characters are simple enough to get and interesting to play off of each other, and the absolutely wacky stunts they have to pull are fairly interesting. Some of the humor is actually pretty good, I laugh whenever Justin's music comes on, and when they do the "Thriller" dance.

    But it's all a matter of opinion

    Thanks, guys! I didn't know that the characters on the show swore. I find that very interesting, and it's actually pretty cool that they do that; it's more realistic, as these guys are teens (?) and teens DO swear. I guess I just don't really like the humor on it, and that's why I don't like it. Thanks for giving me your straight opinions!

    It is one of the only cartoons on television that have a developed complex continuity.

    It's the DRAMA. It's not the schmaltz of the CW's shows. But it's not Chowder or Flapjack. Good amount of comedy in there too.

    I had the same reaction to the show where I didn't like it until I saw it when nothing else was on.
