Darwin is his adopted brother-a fish with feet that can live out of water, his constant companion. Gumball, for whom the show is named, is a cat like his mom-a rather self-centered yet likable character who is the main protagonist. There is no way the family could have been as funny without his stupidity thrown in. Richard is the father, a huge pink bunny (how can two different animals have offspring that are NOT mixed breeds?) who does nothing but sit around all day and eat-a rather insulting but admittedly necessary character. Nicole is the mother, a blue cat who is the cliche hard-working mother who strives to support her family. The main characters are a family called the Wattersons, who are unintentionally a nuisance to almost everyone around them at some time or another. TAWOG takes place in a fictional town called Elmore where everything is just WACKO. With all that in only one show, how could anyone possibly resist? The premise of the show is simple it's how the set-up is taken to crazy measures that makes everything entertaining. Everything about TAWOG is unique, harmless, entertaining, and like nothing you've ever seen before- with funny characters (albeit stereotyped), harmless humor that is almost never crass yet still hilarious (for those who hate Teen Titans Go!) and inventive stories that are a mix of surrealism, drama and over-the-top hilarity. When you get the whole feel of the show, you can see why they called it that. Reading the name of the show might make it sound utterly absurd, but that's only because you haven't seen it. So far I give The Amazing World of Gumball an 8.5 I'm looking forward to seeing more of this unique style in the future. I don't really see anything that bad for younger kids like I do in shows like Regular Show and the adult humor is subtle enough for kids to not know what they're missing. This show is still pretty new and obviously has a lot more to offer, but from what I've seen it's worth watching a few episodes. I can remember as a kid actually getting into some of the fads Gumball and Darwin do. The family is pretty close to real life too. They all have individual character traits and it's really interesting to see all these animation styles really blend together. And another could be an 8-bit video game character. One character can be traditionally animated but another can be done in CGI. Each character has a different animation style. What I find really appealing about this show are the characters. Together they get into all sorts of unbelievable situations around their house, school, or city in general. And their sister Anais who is a child prodigy at four years old. Gumball and Darwin are your average pre-teen boys who have all sorts of weird interests and misconceptions on girls, adults and life in general. Nicole who is a typical workaholic mom with a short fuse but deeply loves her family. You got Richard, a lazy stay at home dad with good intentions but small intellect. The show follows the Watterson family, mainly Gumball and his adopted brother Darwin, and their misadventures. The show takes place in the fictional city of Elmore inhabited by talking animals, animate objects, tyrannosaur, talking peanuts, and other weird things you wouldn't even expect to live together. The Amazing World of Gumball is one of those shows I looked at and said, "How can anyone like that?" But like other shows on Cartoon Network it surprised me to see it was actually a well written show.
