Sorry to say, but this show is very bad. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When I found out that a cartoon version of Napoleon Dynamite was going to air, I was looking forward to it with great anticipation.

Unfortunately, and very unfortunately, this show really sucks. It's like a stupid Saturday morning cartoon. I was hoping for a show that was funny but have some realism to it, sort of like King of the Hill.

I watched the show a few times and just gave up on it after about the fourth episode.

I happen to agree, it really isn't good. Fret not however, because I am almost 100% sure this show will not be renewed.

I DVR'd all the episodes but I haven't gotten around to watching them yet. But at least now I know not to expect too much when I finally do watch them!

Personally, I thought the film was incredibly overrated, too. It was watchable, but for me, the laughs just weren't there.

Totally not shocked. I love the movie, but couldn't even sit through the first episode of the cartoon.

Interesting. It looks like the "Napoleon Dynamite" cartoon series actually got some good reviews though.

I guess LaFawnDuh never showed up on the cartoon though... too bad. I love the movie. I never got around to seeing the cartoon- thankfully though, it looks like the whole series is available on Amazon.com Instant Video.

The movie was good because of it's absurdity which doesn't translate well into cartoons since in cartoons the viewer is already accustomed to expect the unexpected such as the episode that had the liger (half tiger, half lion).

I knew it woudln't last long so I'm not surprised it didn't go longer.

MacLeaper · 01-22-2014, 12:14 PM

I wonder if it will ever get a DVD release...

Very unlikely. This was one of the worst rated primetime shows of the past 10 years. If it does get a release it wont be for a very long time and via a miracle. Maybe they would be put on a Blu Ray release of the film as a bonus or something.
