I'll give season 1 a 4/10 honestly. I'm not looking forward to seasons 2 and 3 of this show, at all. It's just really boring and not interesting. I'll probably watch the first two or three episodes of season 2 to see if they've marginally improved (note marginally), because even if it's just slightly better like 5 or 6 out of 10, I'm not gonna waste my time on a mediocre TV series.
Contrary to popular opinion where the show started out worse than it ended, I actually thought the series actually started out okay with a decent series premiere, a pretty good second episode, and not so bad third and fourth entries. There was some promise that it could be more than what it looked like. But once "Who's Afraid of Boomsday?" came, they just stopped trying. Everything just became repetitive and the series seemed like they used all their best jokes and stories for earlier in, and saved all the boring ones for the end, so they could "win" audiences over and then give them the boring stuff last. The three worst episodes of the show are "Boomsday", because too much goes on at once and nothing is funny, at all, "Who's Getting Cold Feet?", because who asked for a plot about Shel and his shoe, and "Who Are You?", this one is meh, but because the mouse scene was so disgusting I wanted to turn my TV off.
The season 1 finale's first part was okay. I actually didn't mind and I thought the finale would be good, but the second part is boring and I go back to my same stance on it since.
I think the fact that Bless the Harts was cancelled for this (not directly, but Fox wanted to fund Housebroken more) makes me more sad, because on one hand you had a show with a decent first season, wasn't that funny, but it really showed some promise with Mega Lo, then wowed us with a really good second season where they really nailed the characters identities and got the comedy much better. Sure, it had the occasional dud (Hoot n' Haw), but every show is gonna have one every now and then.
And then Fox gives us Housebroken, a mediocre TV show about animals making fart and poop jokes most of the time, and when. Housebroken's second season has to be a lot better than the first in order to win me over, otherwise I'll just pass.
Update (August 2023): I checked out the first four episodes of season 2 recently, and there's almost NOTHING of improvement. I dropped it because it's just not funny at all and I can't even care about the characters. One of the most boring adult cartoons in existence. Season 2 does not improve.
