A few days back when I was watching American Idol, you what I was reminded of “Drawn Together” the animated series. I know that the series ended in 2007, but still I was reminded of it. Wondering what is the connection between the two. Hold on, I am going on to that. The only connection between the two is the last episode of the third season, which was named “The American Idol Parody Clip Show”, now you get the connection. I still remember the season finale of he series, this was really a funny way to end the series. I remember how much my tummy was hurting, because I kept laughing through out the episode. May be the whole episode was not that funny, but the whole idea of parodying the hit reality series, American Idol, was what I found most amusing.

In the season finale of the season, they all organize a competition in the house. The housemates look back at the previous episodes of the series and they compete with each other. The Jew Producer hosts, the competition promising that at the end of the show, one of the housemates will be sent home. They are then made to sing some show favorites with some new twists. At the end of the competition it is revealed that Munchkin Mouse is being sent home and everyone else has been fired, thus ending the series.

Now, isn’t that a funny episode. I mean you cannot imagine the show while reading it, so I suggest you to watch the final episode of the season. Well, at least I found it very amusing and when I shared the thought with my friends they too found it very amusing. If you too want to laugh go ahead and watch the episode. And, if you want to share something then you can leave a comment.

‘The Other Cousin’ is the most entertaining and enjoyable episode of season one. Although ‘Drawn Together’ is always a funny show, but I found this episode as the funniest one. Here for the first time in the entire first season, an interesting character visits the house. Clara’s mentally retarded cousin Bleh arrives in the house and all the housemates are tense that she might create some problems in the house. Clara is also irritated by her arrival as she can prove to be a disgrace for her in the house.

Bleh has a strange appearance. She always wears a football helmet. When she first enters the house, she is wearing a brown over coat over a green gown that ends above her ankles, along with brown sports shoes. All the housemates find her funny. Spanky and Captain Hero even try to play pranks on her. They hide in the hot tub and plan to throw eggs at her. But something truly opposite happens over there. She comes there, removes her helmet and her long red hair come tumbling down. Then she removes her clothes- her sculpted body and huge breasts leaves Hero and Spanky speechless. Left impressed with her bewitching beauty both forget about the prank. Now Clara comes to call Bleh and both leave.

Now Spanky prompts Hero enter into a bet whether Hero can get Bleh in his bed once. Captain Hero accepts the challenge and says that this is pretty easy task for him. Next day, he takes Bleh on a date. There, Bleh tells him that she’s a virgin and won’t come any closer to him. Impressed, Captain decides to respect her chastity. But on the same night, she sneaks into his room and since she shows her keenness, Hero decides that it’s not actually taking advantage of her and they end up sleeping together.

The next morning, Clara learns about their one night stand and becomes angry, but Hero expresses his true feelings for Bleh to calm her down. At the same time, Spanky comes and congratulates Hero for winning the bet. Now Clara instructs Hero to stay away from Bleh. But he is too madly in love that he follows Bleh to her bus, as she is going back home to say goodbye.

When Bleh gets in the bus it is shown that she too had a bet with her friend to have sex with a TV celebrity and Hero was her victim. She is happy to win 50$. Now she waves to the devastated Hero, and Spanky tries to cheer him up with ‘spin the bottle’. I really enjoyed this episode, try it once. Really, it was very enjoyable!!

There is a lot much of hustle-tussle in the finale episode. If you want to watch a rare kind of wedding, then do watch this episode. The episode begins with Hank’s dream, when he falls off from a cliff and lands on his bed and finds Karen sitting beside him. May be this dream sequence is an intuition of fulfillment of his desire to reunite with Karen. But Becca awakes him as they are getting late for Karen’s much awaited wedding with Bill.

This episode is blended with emotional drama, touching stuff along with some humor. In the wedding, Bill tells Mia that he can’t publish her book to protect his reputation. Due to this, angry Mia drinks heavily and starts criticizing Bill for wedding Karen in front of guests. When Hank tries to stop him for courtesy reasons, she discloses off her one night stand with him, which was a secret for Bill and Karen throughout the season. Now raged Bill knocks down Hank. Everybody at the wedding is astonished due to this incident. Mia, because of her friendship with Becca, lies to her that she is entirely responsible for her fling with Becca’s father.
Now the scene opens at reception of Bill and Karen and lot many amazing things do happen there. Charlie and Marcy, who were trying hard to make over their wedding throughout the season, reconcile at last. Hank is shown looking at them making love in the backyard.

After some moments he catches Becca kissing a boy and reacts in his distinctive style by teasing the boy saying, “Check Yo self before you wrickety-wreck yo self.” This line is actually part of lyrics of a song ‘Check Yourself’ from ‘Ice cube’. He tells Becca that he will wait for her in the car.
Later, when Hank and Becca are about to drive away, Karen comes out running and screaming and jumps into back seat, while Bill is chasing her. She tells Hank to drive fast before she changes her mind again. As Hank drives, the scene closes down with showing their car disappearing in the dark. In the end of the episode, Hank’s dream intuition proved to be true as the entire family is shown reunited in California.

The episode ends with the same song, which was played in the beginning of first episode of the season. It’s ‘You can’t always get what you want’ from The Rolling Stones.

I’ve watched this episode for several times. This is quite a funny story and now I am curious about the second season. Whether Hank and Karen will stay together or there’ll be some new twist they are going to introduce in upcoming season. Let’s wait and watch.

Season one is like a pile of fairy tales books. The first episode is an introductory episode, depicting the reality TV concept of the show where assorted stock characters of cartoon and comic world come to live togather in a house as in ‘The Real World’. But in the second episode it changes the track. In episode ‘Clara’s Little Dirty Secret’, Clara tells her fairy tale about the curse of her stepmother, which resembles the story of ‘Snow White’ but in a dirty way. In this episode, it is learnt that her genitals are actually a monster with many tentacles due to the curse, but that monster gets agitated only after hearing some loud noise, otherwise it’s a nice creature. Clara calls it Octopussoir.

In the third episode, Xandir is suspected to be a gay by other house inmates, and they finally make him accept this. This news creates frictions in his relationship with his girl friend. Now to soothe the depressed Xandir, Clara raises a helping hand by giving him a magic lamp to wish to become normal. But the bad luck shines over Xandir, as the genie himself is a homosexual and gets attracted towards Xandir. The genie is kidnapped by his arch nemesis, to bring back his self respect. Xandir now accepts this reality that he’s a gay.

In next episode, a food competition is held between two teams with the condition that losing team won’t get any food for a week. Finally Foxxy’s team wins and Toot in the winning glory, eats excessively and gains weight. Now, Xandir helps her in getting back to her actual size in such a way, that she vomits all over in the house. Other members suggest her to just check her eating disorders, instead of over exercising.

In the same episode, Captain Hero is shown to be dying of starvation for being the member of losing team, so he makes a deal with Foxxy and agrees that she can humiliate him in exchange of food. Foxxy takes advantage of this situation and sexually exploits him.

In ‘The Other Cousin’, Clara’s mentally retarded cousin visits the house and ends up having fling with Captain Hero, who falls in love with her. The last episode brings an earthquake in the house, when the housemates learn that there will be no prize for their stay in home contrary to the declaration made prior to sending them inside. To cool them down, Producer sends Billionaire Bucky Bucks to engage all of them in stupid games to prevent protest by them.
I would call the season a steadily developing story and the sequence of episodes is such that if you watch these together, it will be like watching an animated movie.

‘Drawn Together Babies’ is a fantastic episode, check it out why? In this episode, all the characters are little cute toddlers. They look so pretty that you can’t resist this episode. It is quite similar to ‘Looney Toons Kids’ on Cartoon Network and that too is one of my favorite shows. Being the kids, they are different from their grown up characters. Like Foxxy is reluctant towards nudity, and Spanky is a cleanliness freak. A babysitter, Charlotte, is the care taker of these kids.

One day, Charlotte announces that her boyfriend Chad is coming, so all the kids need to go to bed early. Now, agitated kids plan to spoil the scene and Spank becomes their leader. Kids construct a trap to lock her up in a nursery closet. But Ling Ling notices something wrong with the plan, but everybody ignore his doubts. Consequently, the baby sitter is mistakenly killed. This particular incident which results in guilt and depression brings out the behavioral changes among kids. Their actual characters later in the series, is the fallout of this accident. Now adding to chaos, Chad arrives over there.

After this, the episode switches on to immense fun and I couldn’t resist laughing at any single scene. Foxxy makes a plan that Princess Clara, Xandir, Ling Ling and Spanky will portray Charlotte by wearing a trenchcoat and a wig, whereas, Foxxy, Toot and Walter Saget would dump Charlotte’s body into the pool. Now Duplicate Charlotte’s duty is to engage Chad while the other team is dumping the body. Meanwhile, Chad suggests that Charlotte should meet his family. When they reach Chad’s place, Chad’s family reject this Charlotte with Spanky as her head and Chad’s brother, Chase makes fun of his love.

Now, angry Chad ignores them and runs off with his love to a sleazy Motel. To prevent any risk, now Xandir comes at Spanky’s place and persuades Chad to go out. But to their surprise, after Chad leaves, his brother climbs through window into the room. Now kids learn that he too had an affair with Charlotte and she’s pregnant. At the same moment Chad arrives and both have a fight over this. Meanwhile Charlotte announces that her water has broken and it’s time for baby’s birth, as unable to control anymore Spanky’s pees in his pants. When they reach hospital, a baby had to come, so Charlotte gives birth to Ling Ling(acting as feet).

Now, a doctor declares that Ling Ling looks like a fellow resident doctor and this fact relieves the two brothers, they reunite and leave. Later it is disclosed that the doctor himself is also four babies in a trench coat who allows them to go home.

At home, while dumping the body, kids discover that Charlotte was just unconscious, which prods Toot to murder her and this time they put her body into a abandoned refrigerator as it doesn’t fit into pool.
Try this episode here and I bet you would roll down on floor laughing.

Recently, Tara Strong, voice of Princess Clara and Toot Bronstein in ‘Drawn Together’, confirmed that the show is never coming back with the fourth season. Previously, there was news that creators Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein are leaving the show and they have quitted the comedy central. Now they are gonna work for Fox Broadcasting Company. It is also learnt that they have signed a two year contract with the company. But I am not sure about their project whether, they are going to create a new animation for them or will handle the existing one. Anyways, whatever their plans are, this shock is enough for me that the show is never coming back.

I know, for many people and even for media this is a complete non-sense show. But you know, when somebody gets bored of those routine kinds of serious dramas and reality shows, at that time the most stupid things soothe our minds. When somebody comes back home after a hectic day of work, and doesn’t have capacity to understand complex drama stories, only such series can make you laugh. I am saying this, because of my personal experience with this show. I usually watch it’s episodes from here when I don’t feel like watching anything else on television.

Creators have designed it as a reality show of animated characters. All the characters have been extracted from different popular shows. Like, Foxxy Love is a musician from the show ‘Josie and the Pussycats’. She is introduced as mystery-solving musician. Ling Ling is a character from ‘Pokemon’ who resembles Pikachu. He usually uses his supernatural powers in difficult times. Captain Leslie Hero resembles Superman. Princess Clara resembles Disney princesses’ characters like ‘Little Mermaid’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’. These characters can be better described as mockery of original characters by their duplicates. Creators have made fun of these original characters through jokes in the show.

Their stupidities are enough to make you hold your stomach with laughter. You won’t be able to control your laughter. They have made fun of every such issue which can otherwise make you tense. They have made fun of abortions, intimate relationships, rapes etc. The show is purely an adult show. In one episode of third season, two girls achieve their resolutions. Foxxy tries to avoid physical relationship forever and Toot tries to make as many relations as she can. In every episode you will find literally a new ridicule. Vulgarity doesn’t matter if it makes you laugh hard and this show has this caliber.

Drawn Together is an American Animated TV series and it’s a story of 8 characters. All these 8 are picked up in a house to realize what happens when people start getting animated instead of being real. They all are from immensely different reaches of the cartoon universe and they do have nothing in common in spite of their love of drinking. Their each and every move is being filmed for the entertainment of the audience. How much difficult it is for them to associate with each other while living under the same roof. But still they do try to come up as a family….

Let’s meet with the 8 super heroes on Drawn Together- Xandir P. Whifflebottom, the first hero of the Zelda type videotape who’s in quest to save his boyfriend ; Toot Braunstein , an over weighted version of Betty Boop; Captain Hero an empty headed gay awaiting a huge cash award; Ling-Ling, a bisexual copy of Pokemon’s Pikachu; Spanky Ham a raunchy prankster, dirty internet cartoon pig; Foxxy Love a trash talking black chick ; Princess Clara a simpery-sweet heroine; Wooldor Sockbat as a psychotic jerk who resembles to SpongeBob squarepants. It was so humorous to see all of them trying to adjust with each other for everyone’s welfare.

Series was premiered on October 27, 2004 and 3 very successful seasons have been aired yet. Show has been cancelled and no hopes of its retrieval.
