After watching the holiday special, I could tell this was a pretty cool looking show, but with the kind of comedy I remembered from early '00 Disney shows. It's kind of like a male version of Kim Possible.

Penn, the main character, joins the family buisness of saving the day from catastrophe in any situation.

It should also be noted that Mercury filmworks was in charge of animation, so it's no winder it looks a bit nice. Any opinions on it?

I was bashing this show on Toon Zone before even seeing it - I'm shooting myself right now for that, but am still very cautious about where things can go from here...

Yeah - I'm slowly warming up to what I'm seeing and am praying that the real premiere can keep this positive momentum going. Here's hoping.

Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.

Watching it right now and so far,its pretty good.The concept alone is just plain awesome,the characters are likeable,the writing has been pretty good so far,,but the artwork is gonna take some getting used to.

Finished watching it and I got to say,looking forward to the show.Pretty entertaining.

I'm a bit annoyed that any Disney Channel 2D animated TV show is from Mercury Films now.

ALWAYS ALWAYS has to be Mercury Films!! ... MERCURY!!! >:

I love the way they animate, but ... it just has me curious. Do they have some kind of deal with Disney??

They're probably the cheapest ones they can hire. Plus, Titmouse animates Randy Cunninghamm, so don't think Disney has turned their backs on them just yet.

Well that doesn't bode well for animators looking for a profit there.

This reminds me of [[Dave The Barbarian]] for some reason

If the animation reminds you of anything else, it's probably because Adam Henry did something similar to it before:

So what's the deal; it's sort of like "Dial H for Hero"? He takes a job but isn't sure what he'll end up as?

I was going to make a reminder post in here, but I was afraid of double posting.

In any case, the show is airing in the exact same timeslot on Disney Channel if you don't have Disney XD.

First official episode done. Is it weird that I find currently all of Sashi's transformations cute and hawt at the same time? Overall, it's nice enough to fill in for Randy Cunningham's off-season. Look forward to next week's new episode.

[up] Actually, there's two more new episodes tonight and Sunday at 9 PM and a third on Monday at 9:15 PM (after the first 11-minute episode of Star airs).

So far, the show's kind of decent to me, but I'll keep watching to see if it improves.

Tonight's ep was so-so. The first half with the plushies was really bland and forgettable, but the second mission was just mean-spirited, but ended on a good note. That princess kind of reminds me of the Ashlies from Recess.

The entire series has been pretty "meh" so far, but tomorrow night's genie episode looks like it might be funny.

I also feel that the theme song could have had more effort put into it.

I remember the good ol' days when Saturday meant more cartoons than you could watch.

Now you have to go to specialty channels.

I am sad.

The latest ep. was a mild feels trip for Sashi. Apparently Sashi has parents who DON'T know about her secret life while Penn and Boon's folks have been in the service for years. She has to feel good about herself because no one else will. Also, Penn transforms into an alien dog thing.

P.S: is it wrong that I always find Sashi's transformations almost always cute and sexy?
