who did the music? i like it,
Congratulations, Disney Channel. You now have two good shows!
Really liking this so far. Loving the animation quality as well (sure this is from the opening but the point stands):
Music is great and has that "mystery" vibe to it, and the characters are great. Mabel is hilarious, and I enjoy how Grunkle Stan is a sympathetic character, when most characters of his type just stay insufferable. Here's hoping this show has a long run.

Someone was raving to me to try it saying I would probably like it, so on a whim I decided to watch it. I really don't watch any TV these days, any less the Disney channel.
Call me very pleasantly surprised. I actually really enjoyed it, and as an Oregonian I was able to appreciate a lot of the subtle jokes to local stereotypes and local myths/legends. The first episode made me chuckle a few good number of times and I could see the series becoming something very interesting as it continues going on. It has a good quirky nature to the show, and has a great foundation of setting and characters.
Also, the opening is the best opening for an animated cartoon I have seen in a while.

If the whole show looks this good, I'll shit my pants.

I'm so far very impressed with the series animation, but I'm only on episode 2 so far. Some shots are really beautiful and I love how they draw the backgrounds and how fluid the animation is. It's also backed by some pretty good quirky music that mixes this upbeat sci-fi vibe and chiptune, good jokes, interesting characters, and a well thought-out setting.
Here's hoping it sticks up and that it gets noticed, if it continues as it's going from how far I've watched so far, this could really be one of the next 'great' cartoons, and it seems they've already planned up to season 3 for the show.

Somewhat diminished by the fact that all the characters' faces look exactly the same, apart from some facial hair differences here and there. It's like they're all inbred or something. Pretty lazy character design.

Alright, the second episode was a lot better than the first. I was laughing a lot through it all, and again the music stood out.
The animation isn't as great as the opening in the normal show, but still very fluid. The characters, as mentioned a few posts above, are probably the least detailed thing visually but they do a great job giving each of them a unique and likable personality as well as unique gestures to fit their persona.
The second episode was filled with a ton of gags but nearly all of them were funny and I found myself laughing outloud at several of them. I really am enjoying the hybrid of quirky mystery show ala Twin Peaks or Scooby-Doo (big differences between those two, but the show slightly reminds me of both of them), old-school slapstick cartoon, and modern what I like to call 'random humor', but they mixed things up with a good jumble of jokes and had a more interesting monster this time around. And it does seem the show has an on-going story enough so that the characters seem to be having some on-going development, but self-contained enough to be enjoyable stand-alone.
Also, I really hope they release a soundtrack for this show, which is something I haven't said about a TV show in a long time. I don't know who's doing the music, but they're doing an awesome job at it. I really liked that frantic southern chase music they had in this episode.

Animation here is AWESOME. Hoping it'll come soon in Italy.
After Phineas & Ferb, another great animated series on Disney Channel. Good.

I like the show a lot so far. Something about it reminds me of adventure games like Monkey Island etc. as well, I could already see it being adapted to one.

Animation is nice. Some very subtle touches here and there. I liked the first episode more than the second.
Sous could be a stronger character and man sometimes they set themselves up for a perfect joke but kind of go in a different direction. Still a really good show.

About 30 minutes until the new episode.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
IIRC they previewed the show a few weeks before, so the preview was 1x01 and the "premiere" was 1x02 or something? In Canada we have a separate Disney channel ("Family Channel") so I don't know what happened in the US for sure.

Oh man, I'm so happy to see this show getting love on GAF. I went to Disney TVA last Novermber for a pitch meeting and I got to watch the pilot and I LOVED it, I've been in agony waiting for it to finally air. Gotta go get an iTunes card at Best Buy so I can subscribe to it now that it's on.
This is one of the best-looking animated shows currently airing. The style, animation, color composition, etc. are all top notch.
I didn't like ep 3 as much as the first 2 but it was still pretty good. I hope they make the plot a bit more coherent in the future but otherwise I'm not complaining.
