What can I say about Angry beavers? Well I never really paid much attention to it when I was young but at the age of eighteen I happened to come across a DVD of it and was very surprised at its wit and humor. First and foremost there is Dag and Norb, two brothers left to create a home for themselves in the woods. I find their relationship interesting and humorous. Dag with his selfish ways ways and judgmental attitude was quite different from many other kid cartoon characters at the time, especially the fact that he would often go all the way through with something and when he comes to a realization he simply wouldn't care anymore about it, being indifferent to things which seemed so important in the start. And Norb, the brains of the operation, though with his cool outlook on life was very relaxed about most things unless it came to his Treeflower, in which he was a wreck in most cases of fear of loosing her. But when the two brothers were together they always did show support for each other and always came through for the other, even though their often obvious dislike. Often Norb was the straight man of the situation and would see the obvious of some of Dag's crazy schemes but you have to give Dag credit for all his effort. But the best thing about the show was the great chemistry between Nick Bakay and Richard Horvitz as they showed great true likeness to the other's character and really would remark if the other beaver said something stupid or incorrectly, which Norb and Dag did constantly. There was humor in every episode and even some touching scenes when the characters did show family importance. So all in all it is a great show for the young ones and even for some adults who want a show that in every episode focuses on the two main characters Dag and Norb, and never does any side stories so you'll be guaranteed it never strays from the lead roles which so many other shows do. What I found amazing as well was in so many episodes it was only Norb and Dag completely alone and if you can make episodes where the burden of a storyline is placed on only two characters and nothing else, then you've got a show that's special. And that is why Angry Beavers now has a place in my heart and my DVD shelf.
