Mission Hill (1999–2002)
Another good show that's a ratings martyr
2 October 2000
A delightfully irreverent show which I wish more people could have seen (If it's competing against "Who Wants to be a Millionare" what chance in Gehenna does it have of surviving?) Just the the situations that go against conformist TV redundancies (a girl asking Andy out on a date instead of the other way around, how it dealt with masturbation issue and the fact that Kevin, felt almost immediately that he had to cheat to get a good score on the SAT) alone got me hooked. I may feel a little weird about the animation, like for instance the jaundiced look of the eyes, the feeling that the scenes are partially lighted with black light and the way many of the females look as if they are in their second trimester. I don't exactly hate the animation because I know they are trying for a new, creative look in animation and right now it seems to be working. Too bad the evil networks had to do away with it before I get to witness the whole entire season. (*** out of four stars)
