silvermander4 February 2006The X's is a fun and silly show. While the animation is nothing to write home about, the characters and comedy carry the show. Nick's cartoon have been a bit cut rate lately, and this is not much better for the animation, but the stories are great.
The good guys are not the normal perfect family that can do no wrong, but they are fun. The bad guys are different and humorous.
Savage is great in a character that is perfect for him.
Overall the show is enjoyable, but doesn't make your brain work overtime. If you want a good laugh from a fun cartoon then check out The X's, you might just like it. -
Trevour2 February 2006While I've only caught this show on Nickelodeon a few times so far, I like what I see. You might wonder why it shares similarities to Nick's "My Life As A Teenage Robot." That's because "The X's" creator, Carlos Ramos, also worked on "Robot." The art direction, character design, and colors resemble those of a story taking place on the same planet as "Samurai Jack." While I do think "Samurai Jack" does a better job with plots and visual storytelling, "The X's" isn't that far behind. Not to mention the fact that cartoonist/storyboard artist Jim Smith (of Spumco's Ren & Stimpy fame, as well as Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, The Ripping Friends and Samurai Jack) is working on this series - he's only one of a FEW good men working in cartoons today.
When you look at the many boring (and visually unappealing) series' that studios and networks churn out these days, I'm thankful for a vibrant cartoon series like "The X's." It's like your favorite comic book come to life, and that's what a cartoon should do for its viewers - entertain them! -
anonymous40420037 January 2006The X's is a spy family somewhat similar to Spy Kids or arguably the Incredibles. It's supposed to be a parody. It's nothing you haven't seen before. It's just not as good as the others.
The X's animation is very hard on the eyes. The show depends on wall-to-wall trite jokes and spy stereotypes. You are supposed to laugh but it's just not funny. The storyline of the episodes are very bland, with non-sense plot twists.
In summary, it's just not good enough to be on television. Especially not Nickelodeon with their otherwise rock-solid kids cartoons. It's a shame a quality show got bumped for this. -
kolohehele9113 March 2006I don't see why everyone is so down on this show. It's actually quite entertaining. I really was ready to hate it when they were first mentioning the show. But once I actually sat down and watched it, it was good. Loads better then Catscratch or Chalkzone, anyway. I must admit that I too, get a bit irritated with the show when they use the word "poo" to much. But I really like the voice over acting. I think that the entire cast does a great job! I am also a big fan of the theme song. the cutting is really good :D So to all of you who are reading these comments but haven't actually WATCHED the show, please just give it a chance. You never know! You might like it :D
