I loved the books as a kid but even I think this is so high glucose that it's actually quite overwhelming. This is neither a good thing nor a bad thing by itself but you really need to get your bearings before you dive into one of these adventures.
Considering there are like 12 books and over 50 of these episodes, they do get formulaic after a time and there are SO MANY verbose episode and chapter names that I needed to take a break from this show several times.
But I like the energy and the humor. Mr Krupp is much more of an idiot than he was before but that makes sense. Too often they design a villain in their comics and BY COINCIDENCDE that villain turns up in real life. The fast talking narrator makes things even more overwhelming.
They mix up the stories by adding some reoccurring elements each season which is admirable. They even change the setting for long periods.
None of the original stories survive but I can respect that.
The cast of characters has been expanded greatly and it gives a lot more for each individual episode to play around with; I especically like "mah HAAR".
My biggest negative about this show is Erica. Total Mary Sue. They wanted to throw in a black girl, which is cool. They wanted someone who can kind of be a foil to George and Harold which is very logical. But she just has to be SO PERFECT all the time, it's bland and annoying.
It took too long for a Captain underpants show to be made but I'm just glad I lived to see it.
