...last weekend saw the debut of a new Dan Povenmire animated TV series, "Hamster And Gretel":
Having watched the first two episodes, I have to say that it is better than it appeared after the preview a few months ago.
Positives:
-Liked the running gag with Gretel naming her punches, Hamster being equally as quiet as Ferb was and that Kevin is actually a valuable member of the team instead of being a buttmonkey like the preview might have implied.
-The interactions between Kevin and Gretel are very nice and really feel like an organic, likable sibling relationship.
-It has the typical Dan Povenmire humor throughout (as well as songs in every segment) so if you loved in the other shows, you get more of it here; if not, then this show will not change your mind about Dan Povenmire shows at all.
-Intriguing as Dan has mentioned that this show will actually have a running arc throughout its currently estimated two seasons. That's certainly a new one for his shows (...I think, while I am sure about Phineas & Ferb, I don't know much about Milo Murphy's Law to say whether that show had an arc or not).
Negatives:
-Currently the only negative I can think of is the above: the theme song. It is just very ho-hum and meh. While I find the Phineas & Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law theme songs memorable and very good, I doubt the Hamster & Gretel theme song will be as well remembered.
