Dallas & Robo has sprinkles of Ricky and Morty and dashes of Futurama, but still remains its own identity. That's what attracted me so much. It isn't trying to be a copy and when you watch you find that it really isn't like the two other adult comedies I mentioned. I even got an Imdb just to review this awesome, kick-ass show.
I'll admit, the first couple episodes are okay. I did enjoy them (much like the rest), but once they get in that groove and start to establish the characters it really does start running and never stops right to the end.
Call me crazy, but my favorite character was the Woodsman. When we're first introduced to him he comes off as your typical jerk that likes to see Dallas fail miserably. At the end, however, a different side of him shows and he even goes as far as to help them when a cannibal biker in disguise sneaks onto the Georgia Overdrive. His character development was very impressive, one I definitely didn't see coming. When characters redeem themselves it is always such a good thing to see.
Carol the biker king was also a great character. She is voiced by Jane Lynch which is just a great choice for her. It fits right in. Carol is windy. She befriends Dallas, gets stabbed in the back by Dallas to have Dallas befriends her, and Carol ends up back-stabbing Dallas. By the end, she is hauled off to cannibal biker jail, but, if I know one thing about this character in the short time I've seen her, she'll be back with vengeance.
The two main characters are just as fantastic and really are able to hold their own. The chemistry between Kat Dennings and John Cena is one you wouldn't expect and I think that's part of the reason it works. They just know each other, If I didn't know any better I'd say they've been friends since forever. I guess they're just that good at their jobs. Dennings seems to mesh well with everyone she works with and that's her appeal. She brings sass to Dallas which is reminiscent to a certain Max Black which she portrayed on 2 Broke Girls. Don't be fooled, though, Dallas really isn't that much like Max. Yes, she does like to drink and have fun, but Dallas is more brash and once you get through more episodes you see Dallas evolving into a full round character of insecurities, doubts, mistakes, fears, and a lot of other things.
Another noteworthy thing is the amazing continuity. Everything is forecast and consistent... Amazing effort for a comedy. Makes it sharp and smart.
Overall, great series and I do hope to see more great things in following seasons.
