penagosfernando Review of The Smurfs

The Smurfs (1981–1989)

Some episodes may be all right but other than that, it's not such a fun animated show as I thought

[4/10 · 5 July 2022]

I know that I already wrote my own review for this show but I think I had better write another one. I really couldn't stand this show because of Grouchy Smurf. All he ever said were the words, "I hate" whenever anyone mentioned anything. However, it's not his fault he's grouchy like this. I did read about what happened to him in the first Smurfs comic and how he remained a purple smurf for too long. The purple fly that bit him caused his mind to get too poisoned and his personality too damaged. That's how Grouchy became the grouchy smurf we all know today. I was really hoping that would have never happened to him. I guess since his mind is too poisoned and that his personality is too damaged, he just can't stop hating everything like this. I guess only Baby Smurf can warm his heart. I didn't think that a smurf who hates everything else would have such strong love for Baby Smurf. On the other hand, it's too bad that this show ended in a cliffhanger because of the ninth season where The Smurfs found themselves traveling through time. If they didn't lose the magic key that assembled the time crystals automatically back in prehistoric times, they would have been able to go back to their own time easily. The real baby smurf voiced by Julie Dees was absolutely cute and adorable. Although some websites said that it was never found out whether Baby was a boy or a girl smurf, one of the time travel episodes known as "NO REFLECTION ON VANITY" did have Papa Smurf saying that Baby was indeed a male smurf. Maybe there will be some episodes of this cartoon that I will watch again but only the good parts. Any forms of entertainment that have bad parts in them, I will be sure to avoid those because bad parts in anything happening either in real life or on TV completely stress me out. I especially can't stand seeing anyone being yelled at or abused on TV or in real life. That has happened to all of us in real life especially when we were all a lot younger. As I said before, words such as punishment, grounded, spank, reprimand, or even deletion are all words that are too strong for me to handle or even hear. Words like those completely stress me out and even scare me. I can't stand anyone who is either pure evil or even grouchy. I'm glad that one of my favorite voice actors named Michael Bell does the voices of Lazy Smurf, Handy Smurf, and Johan on this cartoon show but it's too bad he also does the voice of Grouchy Smurf. I think that in any episode in particular. Any or all of The Smurfs should have said that Grouchy is nothing more than an absolute disgrace to Smurfdom. Moreover, I think that the one punishment that should have been given to that sore smurf is the one thing I'm sure that no smurf would want to have and that is this: NO MORE TIME WITH BABY SMURF. Anyway, if I ever feel like watching this cartoon again, I will do so but only watch the good parts of any specific episode that I do enjoy.
