OK. I'm a 51-year-old man with two 9-year-old boys. Their TV choices generally bore the hell out of me -- with one big exception: Teen Titans Go! If you have even a passing interest in the DC superhero universe, and even a marginal sense of humor, this show will make you laugh. A lot! It also helps if you love meta-humor (the "Self- Indulgent 200th Episode Spectacular" may be the most meta thing I've ever seen in my life). But those people who criticize the animation or the fact that it doesn't seem to fit in the normal DC universe are missing the point completely. This show is to the real Teen Titans as Lego Star Wars is to the real Star Wars -- a hysterical and loving homage. To the haters, I quote Beast Boy: "Chill out, yo." The voice work (especially the guy who plays Robin) is exceptional, and the minimalist animation really works. The strength of the series, however, is its writing, which wrings every bit of laughter out of even the most mundane situation. To Adam and Michael, this review is for you -- some people may not like what you're doing here, but some of us get it. And it's brilliant!
