Unlike many other nowdays cartoon like "Uncle Grandpa", "Breadwinners", "Teen Titans Go!" or "The Amazing World of Gumball", Strange Hill High shines for its clever humor and likeable characters. It's such a shame to me to see how it was poorly followed by viewers (it got between 100.000-300.000 viewers for each episode) and it ended after two seasons. It tells the misadventures of a group of puppets inside their big school. While the concept may not sound original the writing team did an amazing job to give us fresh stories (one of the team also worked for "The Simpsons"). Not all the episodes are funny or memorable, some episodes are trashy (like one were a human coach comes out of a big plant), some others are clichè and in one episode there was a character (Templeton's cousin) that was an annoying and offensive french stereotype. Like I said before, the show has clever humor and very funny jokes that successfully resembles the british humor. I think this is one of the few shows which really do have british humor and not other british cartoons like "The Amazing World of Gumball" where you see a huge pink rabbit dancing and singing on the roof wearing only his briefs (that's not british humor in my opinion). It's such a shame it ended so soon because I always wanted to see Mitch's father: Tony Turner.
Final score 7/10 (Good!) Strange Hill High is a show that deserves much more popularity and success than it got (in my opinion).
