Storyline

Welcome to Elmore. This quaint little suburb isn't quite what it seems, as in Elmore, just about everything has the ability to come to life. The Amazing World of Gumball follows the misadventures of Gumball, a twelve-year-old cat. With the help of his best friend Darwin, his former pet goldfish that grew legs and joined the family, he gets into all sorts of antics. He is joined by his sister, Anais, a four-year-old bunny with heightened intelligence. His father, Richard, and his mother, Nicole, are there to provide him support as well.

Alternate Versions

The show has been edited 5 times in the U.S., principally for avoid a TV-PG re-rating:

• In the first airing of "The Remote", the part where Nicole (the mom) drinks coffee fast and rushing to the TV from the dining room is cut. This part was later put back in reruns.
• In "The Skull", there's a scene that was cut where Gumball, Darwin, and Clayton use shock collar therapy to stop them lying. However, most, but not all of the scene was included in a clip on Cartoon Network's website.
• In "The Storm", the word "bimbo" mentioned by Gumball around the middle of the episode, is replaced with "coward". However, the word "bimbo" is seen in the closed captions if they're on.
• In "The Crew", the final scene where the Doughnut Sheriff tasers Marvin was cut in the TV broadcast.
• In "The Nuisance", the mentioning of "bath salts" was replaced with "soap suds" in reruns.
• Also, in some episodes like "The Goons" the title card was removed, and in reruns of some episodes the full opening can be seen.

User Reviews

Best Show Ever Made

Out of all the cartoons and TV shows I can find, this is my #1 favorite. There's no way I could find a better show than this one. There's just no other show I like. Here's why. This show is adorable, hilarious and simply awesome. The animation is really good, and I can't believe this show has both hand-drawn animation and CGI. They did a really great job designing the characters, too. I can't pick one best part of the show, because it's perfect in every way. This show should have been rated TV-Y or TV-G instead of TV-Y7-FV. If you're looking for a recent animated show, you'll want to watch this one. Overall, I give this a great big 10/10. My favorite episodes are "The Responsible" and "The Pressure."
