More secret than they probably intended

[luckysword · 8/10 · 2 February 2016]

It's honestly hard to say anything awful about this show, honestly I can't even say anything really all that bad. My only gripe with the show in its entirety, and this is not even the fault of the show, is its obscurity. There was honestly a part of me that was even surprised this show found its way to IMDb. I remember when I was younger, back in 2007 or 2008, flipping through the guide on my TV every night to see when I would have to sit down and watch the most recent episode of The Secret Show, but when it's timeslot was moved back to 3AM (and I was one of all of 10 kids in the country watching), it seemed to spell the end of Victor and Anita.

I don't know what exactly you're doing to even stumble across this review or this page, but I honestly can't recommend this show enough, as it has at the very least a little bit for everyone. Children of younger ages will find a bit of laughter out of some gross humor, such as an episode focused on wedgies or the "World Leader" eating boogers, pre-teens will find a number of laughs from the simple absurdity or things like a "World Leader" or just some of the crazy things that happen in the show, and even some adults will pick up on parodies of classic spy movies! Even if this doesn't seem enough for you, reoccurring jokes like Professor Professor shouting "Are you still alive!?" or the various names-to-daily are things that I think can appeal to people of all ages and demographics, and how Victor and names-to-daily always seem to get the short end of the stick compared to other UZZ operatives has proved more than amusing on numerous occasions.

If you ever see this show anywhere, pounce it and grab it for dear life! It's a wonderful show, and you may only get a few chances to watch it. It's been 10 years and I still haven't found another place to watch it..

Now in the U.S.A.!

I had to look up this "British import" on IMDb because the info in TV Guide was almost non-existent. It just started running on a Nickelodeon cable channel in the U.S. My 2 kids (8 & 11) and I watched it today, and it was the best animated family show we've seen in awhile. Some of the jokes are too sophisticated for the 8-year-old but my 11-year-old gets all the spy movie references and some of the British humor. (He's a huge fan of the James Bond films.) Name Changes Daily is one of the funniest running gags.

I was trying to figure out who the voice actors were because several were familiar, though only one has an IMDb photo. I wasn't surprised to find out that Anita's voice was the same as Wendy in some of the Bob the Builder episodes. I'm sure there are many voice actors in the U.K., just like the U.S., who are in multiple shows (hooray for Clancy Brown and Tim Curry). It also turns out that one actor is in Corneil & Bernie, but I wouldn't have been surprised if Tim Curry had shown up somewhere.

We can't wait till next week's episode!

Already far too Underrated!

This show has only started recently, and already I asked my sister what she thought; she said it looked crappy! I disagree, I've watched this show ever since the first time it started and I say in my opinion: IT ROCKS! It all about a secret spy organisation (like James Bond) and it is about two spies named Victor and Anita. They go out and secretly save the world from dastardly villains. Their commander's name is unknown! He has a new secret code name every single episode WHAO! And they also have a absence minded professor to help them, his name is Professor Professor! He gives them weapons and advice to help them on their mission (like Q!). The characters are very funny and amusing, the jokes are slapstick (which is good) and animation is nicely designed and cleverly spread out. If you are living in Britain, it is on every Saturday at 9.20am on BBC 2. If you live somewhere else. Wait and see if you television station broadcast this show in your nation. Trust me! You won't be disappointed! 7/10

The Secret Show, Join Me In Watching It!

For the United Stater's out there this is a very good cartoon. If your looking for comedy it has it. If your looking for aliens it has. If your looking for spy's it has it! If your criteria also includes little granny's getting knocked out of her time slot. With the inclusion of her squiggly bunny friends then this cartoon is definitely for you.

The animation is fresh and nothing I've experienced before. The characters are smart and new. (If your looking for that sort of thing) The show is mainly targeted for a younger audience. But on all levels it can be viewed by anyone with the same results the program was made for. It's very intelligent and you'll automatically be screaming for more just after one episode. You can't just watch it once! It premieres on the 3 headed monster block every weekend. If your that sort of person who's looking for something to watch at 8:00 and 11:00 PM.

So just putting in my two cents it's a great thing to watch.

What's the word?

Oh my good-a-ness, I LOVE this show!! I watch it every weekday on ABC kids and it's my favourite ever kiddy show... The characters are awesome, and have the best lines!! Some of them are a bit childish, but that's what makes them funny!! >> I'm a bit sad that there are no quotes on IMDb, but maybe someone will put some on... *hint hint* << Ahh, I love The Secret Show, and I don't think enough people watch it! PEOPLE! YOU SHOULD WATCH IT!! ...And then the world can bask in it's glory... I loved the episode about the ball of spong... and the episode with the "uninventing ray". But I think by far the best part of the show is the beginning, with Sweet Little Granny! The Fluffy Bunny Show is the greatest non-existent show ever! ...If only because it's part of the Secret Show. ...I'll be super-sad though, because I can't find quotes! Bye all, and remember to tune into The Secret Show whenever it's on your telly..!

What a cool show!

I first saw this show a few months ago after doing some channel surfing. I had no idea about this show so I decided to watch it. I have been a fan ever since. I "researched" the show for more details as to what it is about. I'm a fan of James Bond, Get Smart, The Avengers and similar shows. They have parodied these shows so well. There is no "overuse" of the parody. I guess I would say that The Secret Show is influenced by those shows. You can see bits of Get Smart or James Bond for example in the show but it is not blatant.

The abundance of one liners are hard to forget which is a good thing. The dynamic between Anita and Victor especially when Victor says "Who needs a magic cape when I have my bestest buddy with me" is evidence of that. I love the fact that there is a mix of genres in this show. You have action, comedy, drama and horror. An episode from the second series regarding zombies reminded me of those B-grade horror films but done in a very light-hearted manner.

I love how there are things to look out for in each episode such as the bunnies, the spider and the four digit code. There's that interaction.

Because it is aimed at eight to twelve year olds there have been episodes that deal with "kid issues" such as bogies (boogers). However, the episodes have a bit of adult humour.

Being a Monty Python fan and having seen "The Life of Brian" I thought the way that the grandma alien in the episode titled "Ball of Spong" spoke was very much like Brian's mother saying "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy."

One of recent animations best works.

It was like a glass of water in a desert to watch this show. After years of bland animation finally something worth watching. It is a recent addition to the cartoon world, but already i would rate it on level with the best of the 000s.

The main characters, and they have lots of character, are two agents working for a world order organisation, their superior and a crazy professor as well as several 'villains' or otherworldly characters.

The action/comedy mix is quite good, and certainly one of the more worth while cartoons of late. The animation itself is good. Not overdone but with a nice refreshing style. Anyone with this on their TV guide should check it out.
