The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange: Escape From the Kitchen (Vol 1)

I MISS OLD CARTOONS
At some point in time there was a change in TV viewing for children. While a huge number of kids went through life watching things like SPACE GHOST, THE HERCULOIDS, HUCKLEBERRY HOUND, YOGI BEAR and JONNY QUEST we were apparently left uneducated by these shows. Do-gooders would have none of this and so made it their life's work to make sure that only educational, informative and mind altering shows would follow. All shows must have a message and that message must advance civilization. The result was that kids have grown up with the lamest of shows and most of us have increased the size of our personal DVD collections with collections of the classics that we share with our kids.

Once in a while something different comes along though in spite of the do-gooders. Such is the case with ANNOYING ORANGE. I'm not sure I can find a single socially redeeming moment of value in any of the episodes that I watched here. My guess is that those seeking that sort of thing will be sorely...

Taking youtube to the next level
I've been a fan of the webseries since it came out 3 years ago. The puns on the show were always clever and maybe there is just something in my that enjoys seeing fruit and veggies knifed. Excited to see it move on to Cartoon Network. The puns and parody's are still there but the level of action has really taken off. This show has such a bigger feel it's great. Adding Tobuscus to the show was a great move. Bought this DVD for my friend's young boys and not ashamed to admit I picked up a copy of myself as well. Pretty funny stuff here and cool VFX

You Are Encouraged to Play With Your Food!
I don't know if we loved this show the very first time we watched it but we are die hard fans for the past 10 months. We found the Annoying Orange on You Tube last year and thought; what the.....h-e-c-k? As strange as we thought it was, we couldn't stop watching. We really are not sure why these creepy faced fruits and veggies are popular but they are.

The show focuses on Orange and his friends which include Marshmallow, Pear, Grandpa Lemon and others. While the characters are mostly obnoxious, we often find ourselves laughing out loud at their craziness. It is very witty and my husband and I don't mind watching with the kids in the least.

While some found this offensive in the beginning due to the name calling; "you're such an Apple" says one fruit to the apple. It really is just funny and has the Dove Foundation Family seal of approval!
