Pond Life (1996–2000) User Reviews

Hillarous and fresh

[jferris82 · 8 March 2004]

I saw this entire series when it was first shown on tv and it's one of the most well observed and shockingly down to earth comedies I have ever seen. Our star is dolly pond who is a self obsessed, deluded, twenty something or is that thirty something carrying on a life that she feels is beneath her.The cartoon art may be a bit sparse but what it lacks in that department it makes up with snappy dialogue and joke packed episodes. This is so underrated it's a shame it's not out on dvd in the uk, the video when it was released in 2000 has long since been deleted, but I have got the entire two series on dvd from australia off ebay so it's worth checking there.But I dare anybody not to watch this series and find it funny , how could you not!!! this rocks

I love Dolly Pond. 👠

This is my favourite cartoon ever ...I adore every character especially Dolly and the old lady in the store. Oh yes and Belle and Dolly's mom. I've watched every episode I can get my hands on. It is funny. Deliciously so. Dolly is so relatable and perfect. She's perfect. It's perfect. I only wish it was aired here in NL Canada.

Hilarious! Everyone can relate to Dolly!

This is an amazingly funny and VERY true to life show.The animation is simple and to the point.no frills.But that dosen't stop this show from being great.Dolly Pond is a single modern women living on the outskirts of London is a cul de sac community where everyone knows everyone,and private knowledge is public news.Dolly dreams of one day being able to find the perfect man,dream job,and wonderful life. She has two best friends: Bel,her seemingly dull,but kind best friend,and Nobby,her ex-boyfriend who still wants to get something going on between the both of them and still carries a dim torch for her. Dolly's life is hilarious and outrages.See how she trys to adopt a pair a gay donkeys,only to end up with a hideous vampire hamster,goes to Austrailia and comes back the size of a house,tries to quite smoking by taking up a less legal habit,and gets stuck with the roomate from hell! Look at life through Doll's eyes and it might seem very wierd,or extreamly familiar!
