I love the show just because the plots are so ridiculous. The writers have created an absurd, ongoing situation - "Old town," with a massive telemarketing presence, a sheriff on roller skates, etc. The entire intent is so absurd that it's funny - then add a naive kid with (unexplained) leg braces, and an "evil" dog - which is actually the hero of each episode. I think what I really love are the right wing religious nuts who can't see that it is just a silly cartoon, funny in the absurdity, and think that the show is a sign of Satan at work. Sadly, these people know nothing of biblical or theological history, and are just stupid. I've watched the first season, probably three times. The animation director, or the animators themselves have added funny twists to the animations - look at the pictures on the Sheriff's wall, the magazines in the country store store, the graffiti on the bridge embankments, etc. A lot of imagination has gone into the series. A then there is Mr. Pickles. He's my best friend. Love that theme song.
