Maldron Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 So, in between Ruining Spiderman with its new Ultimate Cartoon and prematurely cancelling Avengers to replace it before it found its own legs, Disney XD saw fit to greenlight a show called Gravity Falls. A paranormal cartoon starring twins Dipper and Mabel, who are visiting their Great Uncle "Grunkle" Stan in the titular town of Gravity Falls. Dipper's a bit paranoid, and Mabel's plucky happy a lot, and there's a lot of genuine affection. Stan operates a mystery shack attraction full of hokum for tourists with the help of Soos and Wendy, who both feed in to Dipper's discovery of things not being exactly all they seem in the town. Frankly, I laugh at this show constantly. It's lighthearted, full of reference, and it seems set to have a plot running through the series that it picks up and drops down whenever it suits them without taking away from the experience. Plus it does stuff like this: Which I think is just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) A friend of mine just recommended this show to me just because of that episode. He said he didnt watch GF from the beginning just that episode and he really liked it. I, being the stickler that I am, began watchining it from the beginning and now is one of my favourite shows. I cant stop watching it. Edited June 5, 2013 by Boogie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I think Kristen Schaal is really funny in everything she does (she also plays the voice of Louise in Bob's Burgers, and has had roles on 30 Rock and Flight of the Conchords, and has been a contributor on The Daily Show). I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty good. I didn't pick it back up after the first episode though. I should, but I've recently gotten into Battlestar Galactica and I can't get into anything else until I wrap that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I've been going through the season now, I'm about halfway through, and this show consistently makes me laugh. Disney was slow to renew it, so there will probably be a long wait for Season 2. I recommend people give this show a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Mal was right again! I just started watching this and I'm in love with it. So many good jokes and references, and a really cool story running through. I'm sad to know it only has 3 seasons, but I've heard it has a good ending. It's like Regular Show, with a point to it. Not a knock against Regular Show at all mind you. Edited July 22, 2016 by Axels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Just finished it and this is one of the best cartoons I've ever seen in my life. I loved every second of it, and that ending did a number on my emotions. I'm going to miss everything about this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
