This show looks awesome. Too bad CN isn't even trying to promote it one bit.

Kinda funny. I'll hold my veredict until I see more of it, though.

This looks great! I just wish CN wasn't screwing it over before it even airs.

Looks like this show will be to Futurama what Fish Hooks is to Sponge Bob Squarepants. I mean, the robots looked damned similar, don't they? I'm pretty sure I saw a Bender-esque robot in there...

That one episode does not help.

Yep, I'm still here.

Well, first ep just aired. From the literally one promo I saw ten minutes before its premiere it didn't look like it was going to be that good, but it was.

Though one can very obviously see that Frenemy was supposed to be Facebook, the neediness of the dang thing was what made it hilarious for me. The slight hint to Facebook's notoriously hard to deactivate accounts was also a nice touch. Overall, it looks like a solid show, and you can't go wrong with Patton Oswalt as one of the leads. Let's hope CN gives it its due course.

oh, that's why I need this binary mind //

[up]I doubt it, given their current Decay.

But hey, I laughed. I hope it works out.

The ending was the absolute best part though.

I think I counted way too many emotes on that one episode. That's probably more than what Deviant ART has... Still, another good reason for me not to join Facebook whatsoever.

Overall I like this show. I was thinking that this was going to be bad when I first heard about this (about towards the beginning of the year when this show was pitched as "Horrorbots"). And the added benefit of SuperJail behind them, I say that this is a really good comedy. Let's hope not for a Too Good to Last for this show.

Good show, but listening to Frenemy's Voice, I know I've heard it somewhere before. I just can't put my finger on it,...

I loved it! Is it just me or is CN starting to rebuild itself? The majority of their Monday Night line-up is great!

Hm. I thought it was pretty funny.

Though, (probably largely due to Frenemy...) the art style seemed more anime-esque than "deranged" as the Trope page says...

This series might grow on me with time, but so far I'm not impressed. It's trying too hard to be "with it" and I doubt it'll age well.

Oh, you and me both. It's a pretty decent show. I can't really say much, as I've only seen the second episode.

OH HAI.

I love it! It's basically Superjail with robots, and considering the co-director of that is doing this, that's a good thing. Not to mention it has Patton Oswalt!

Saw an episode. Looks nice. Do the robots have consitant powers or is t a new powers as the plot demands kind of deal?

I'm a sucker for Gratutious Robot Violence and I loved Superjail so this shows on my radar hard.

So Super Jail lite? I'll pass. Super Jail itself was made of fail, I don't want to watch the watered down version.

sad Exactly what didn't you like about Superjail? I thought they wasted some potential with the characters but I still saw a psychodelic exsplosion of cool every episode. I thought Superjail wasn't just about the violence, but the amount of detail and ablum cover-like artstyle.
