I found the little dog funny, but other than that it really only made me chuckle at best. Not bad for a debut, though.

Not bad, not bad at all, im still on the fence about it since it really hasnt done anything so far to make me really laugh really hard but eh whatever i didnt really give Apocalypse Lane a chance and regretted it after awhile so heck ill give this one a few more go's
Seems solid. Could be a great show.
And remembering how Apocalypse Lane started slowly (with everyone saying "boo it sucks") I have quite high hopes in finale.

Stunning animation on the tie, the 'blood', the walking and the 'head-nod-hand-move-shoulder-sway'!
It's like making a doll with those little brass brads that they give you in 2nd grade.
Dialogue is forced, actors sound bored and I think I counted 12 failed jokes. I should really make a drinking game out of this.

Well...
I would say that that was unbelievably bad, but than I had very little hope to begin with... which makes it quite believably bad.
may watch future episodes still... Apocalypse Lane got good after all.

Not...bad, but not overly good, either. I really liked the last three or four jokes, but everything else is kind of lackluster. The animation could use a little work, also.
That said, I am gonna keep watching because I see a ton of good things that could come out of this.

With the animation, I understand not having things perfect, but I must concur with the tie being a little distracting. Also, I understand that dogs don't have the facial musculature required to smile, but I would feel more comfortable with a "smirk" expression.
Still, I have to disagree with all the people saying that the animation is bad; the fact that they have such active gesticulations when talking is particularly impressive to me.
In general, the character designs and settings are nice and crisp, and the sound design is solid.
Just don't let, "100 Experience points" become a catchphrase; it doesn't have the right ring to it.
Also, letting the female character be prissy is allowed. Not much character development has taken place, but it drives me nuts when the female has to act manly to be considered equal.
Let her kick ass, but don't make her alienated from TV dramas, or makeup or cooking in exchange.

ugh, it's OK I guess. None of the series on this site really took off until their later episodes (with the exception of ZP and Unforgotten Realms).
I give it an A for effort. : )

I'm still looking forward to more and despite my earlier praise, I've got mixed feelings.
Hence I'm going to make a more constructive critique.
I guess my enthusiasm comes from the potential of this series, I think it's still in need of some fine tuning. I'm afraid I have to agree that the "In front of a live studio audience" feels tacked on and unnecessary, plus that joke's been used (Clerks Animated) Plus, I think that Gary's popping up with a random phrase after the title is enough. I can see that being a different phrase in every episode, so the text after that isn't really needed, but it's a worthy effort.
I think what I'd really like to see, in all seriousness, is their personalities developed into more three dimensional characters. Right now everyone seems kind of one tone.
Oh and try not to abuse the dog theme too much. It's allot funnier if you save those kinda jokes for when it's not expected. I feel like all this series is missing in another dimension.
Don't get me wrong, I still look forward to more, I just think it still need some work. But hey, that's why you have pilot episodes.

I enjoyed the theme. Ian is just a wonderful human being.
I'll give it another shot, then not like it for awhile, then when it gets better like it and pretend I liked it the whole time, criticizing those who weren't with it from day one. It does have an 80s feel to it.
Still, Game Llamas would be better.

Unskippable, Doomsday Arcade, There Will be Brawl, and ENN all started well. Animated shows seem to have a harder time getting off the ground, but I thought Apocalypse Lane started off alright (the first episode having a few issues).HardRockSamurai said:
And yeah, this is going to be a series that needs a few episodes to work out the kinks.
Since it's going to be an ongoing series, that's inevitable really. A creative plot really made Apocalypse Lane stand out, despite a weak start, so maybe that's all this series is missing, more in depth stories with more complex characters.
