whats so genius about it is that behind the crude drawings is a extremely complex story,the kind youd expect in a thriller movie.the one star is really unfair and half the review is all about comparison to other shows,thats not wat a review is about.

What Parents Need to Know
About 12 oz. Mouse
Parents need to know that although this animated series (part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup) features animals and might appear harmless at very first glance, watching for even a few minutes will convince you that this isn't one for the kids. Protagonist Mouse Fitzgerald is an unapologetic alcoholic who doesn't follow rules, and the other characters in his world aren't much better. Toss in some bathroom humor (in one episode a character relieves himself in a car, filling it to the roof with urine) and violence (a pig's throat is cut, and the animal is gutted), and you get the idea.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about gross-out humor. What makes jokes about bodily functions so funny? Why do some people find that kind of humor so much more amusing than others do? When does it cross the line? Does Fitz have any redeeming qualities whatsoever? If not, do you care?

Awesome.
A hilarious show that is often misunderstood. If you're not into cult television and Adult Swim style humor you won't get it.

Best Show Ever
Rectangle: He's a rather good shot, don't you think? Shark: Yes he is. Rectangle: He was the highest marksman in the class. Shark: Well I'll be... Rectangle: I bet YOU he could probably hit a mite from a thousand yards out in high wind. Shark: If the wind is HIGH then it wouldn't disrupt his shot, would it? So what's the point of adding that kind of wind? To it. Rectangle: I was referring to a poor wind that would be low but high in speed and rich money richness, the kind of money speed that would richly affect a bullet's wealthy trajectory. Shark: Oh.
- Lives in West VirginiaI rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it
very bizzare
this show is very strange while i do see the humor in it and did think it was kinda funny it was revlolving around a drunken mouse who was killing cops robbing banks making porn videos and doing watever he wanted to do it is probably not good for most kids but for some mabye i think it might have been funnier if if it was not so strange obviously the writers think it was funny idon't know
