Adventure Time on Cartoon Network













The Plot

The show chronicles the misadventures of human boy Finn and his dog/adoptive brother Jake in the magical yet post-apocolyptic Land of Ooo. Jake has the ability to change shape or size at will and the pair hobnob with friendly vampires, anthropomorphized candy, and a Korean-speaking rainbow dragon as they (sort of) learn moral lessons like the importance of keeping promises and... not turning lumpy? Okay, so it's hit or miss with the moral lessons.

The Review

This show is an acquired taste. The completely bizarre settings, extreme characters, and "anything goes" approach to the story line take some serious getting used to. Personally, I think it's way too weird to be entertaining, but it was nominated for a Teen Choice Award, so apparently somebody's watching it.
