It's Pretty Funny, I Guess
13 May 2023
The cartoon is pretty funny,I guess. I binged the entire first season when it first became available. Now on the 3rd episode of the 2nd season. Either that is all that's available, or the show isn't popular enough to find downloads (not sure). There weren't hardly any torrents available this season, compared to the first season.

Anyways, it is pretty good, and alot of the characters are fairly likeable. Funny thing is, the two characters I don't like that much are the two main characters, Honey and Chief. Actually Honey might have been okay on her own. But Chief is entirely unlikeable, and the dynamic between the two is very off putting. She is uptight and prissy, and he is ridiculously stupid and annoying. But it is somewhat like their real world dog types would be (poodle, St. Bernard).

The general story lines of the show are pretty good. I do like the therapy for pets angle. The whole thing does come off a little snobby or elitest. I don't know why. It isn't that rewatchable either. Once you've seen an episode, it's hard to try to watch it again.

Other than that, I haven't had any major problems with it, until the 2nd season. The first 2 episodes are about Christmas, yet the show refuses to say Christmas. On the first episode they keep calling it "the holidays". It feels very unatural, and you know who they did this for. In fact there are alot of (J) sybolism and anti-Christian mssaging in these episodes. They wont say Christmas, but they do mention a (J) holiday. One of the dogs is wearing a sweater covered in (J) stars. There is a scene where the pig replaces the baby Jesus in the nativity display. There is a painting on the wall of the Virgin Mary, but holding a parakeet in a diaper. Actually, I'll drop it 2 points because of this. It's very intentional.

Still, the overall messaging is very minor. The show is easy viewing. It's definitely worth a watch. And I'll continue to get new episodes, for now. Check it out.
