Truly good cartoons appeal to people of all ages, and "Sheep in the Big City" certainly falls in that category. There is enough basically zany humor to appeal to children, but when the show makes references which go far beyond the world of Saturday morning animation, it is the adults who can enjoy the humor.In one episode, the narrator explains that the whole cast is down with the flu, but fortunately, they've found an old film of Sheep's grandfather to show instead. It turns out to be a brilliantly funny black and white, silent takeoff of Chaplin's masterpiece "City Lights", with Sheep in the Chaplin role. In another episode, the narrator declares that this show is uniquely different from other cartoons in its style and urban setting - just as Sheep is escaping from the city and starts running through a "Roadrunner" style desert.Great entertainment grabs your attention and holds it every moment. In this show, everything from the hilarious narration to the fake commercials to the bizarre Swedish segment at the end is worth paying attention to.In the early 60's, Rocky and Bullwinkle offered this kind of entertainment. Now we have "Sheep", thank goodness.

This is definitely the best cartoon series that I have ever seen. Side-splitting till the end credits, it shocks and amazes with its simplicity yet its satiric wit. Every character is hilarious and lovable, but I have to say that my favorite character is definitely the Angry Scientist, with his broken English and hunched shoulders and over-the-top devices to help General Specific catch Sheep.Lovely lovely show. I wish Cartoon Network brought it back. Or at least put it on DVD. I would be the first one to buy it, no matter what the price. Mo Willems, if by some blind luck you're reading this, please consider selling the episodes of the show on DVD, even if it's only through your website. I love this show so much and would give an arm and a leg to have the episodes.

Whoever created this has serious issues. Nobody thinks that a guy screaming at the top of his lungs about the most moronic thing in the world funny. They find it very irritating. I only know one person who likes this poor excuse for anything. I don't understand how any of you like this.

I thought this show looked cute when I saw the trailer and it is....very! They are constantly making fun of the military, infomercials and other commercials, plenty o' puns too! If you like Johnny Bravo, Dexters Laboratory and The powerpuff girls you gotta see this!
