User blog comment:ThatGuy456/A Guy's Thoughts: (Feat. Mattalamode) Season 1 Debate/@comment-26215750-20170804111711

Astounding post ! Although I'll try to make it short since this is a comment I'd like to also say something.

Season 1 is the season that brought me into the show.From the opening scene I was laughing, and I was instantly hooked.I'll admit it, the show had some really weird imagery(naked Gumball) that would have really driven people off,but that didn't stop me from watching it, just for the sake of the characters and the humour. Albeit, the characters in the 1st season are just their bland-ish archetypes, but that still doesn't restrict them from working well with episodes like "The Gi"(excluding the stupidity factor). The show was still in its infancy, and if I am to be quaint, it still made for some great writing, merely because of the absurdity of some of the plots.

As some last notes, I want to say I tried to like episodes like "The Picnic", merely because I didn't expect such a low-quality episode.Goes to show that maybe I'm just bland to fanboy-ism and that S1 really is the bland, dumb, uninteresting(from a comedic standpoint) season.Who knows, I won't go in-depth as you guys(maybe one day I will on my own blog !), but I greatly enjoyed reading this.Thank you.
