It's great. One of the few shows willing to push the envelope and still maintain integrity and deliver an excellent moral message. Seriously, though, this show is awesome - it's witty and always fresh, and I've never seen an episode that dragged, if anything they may have put in too many jokes. If they don't come back with another season I may have to go to Comedy Central and stab Carlos Mencia in the eyeball.

Yeah drawn together is great when it comes to the crude humor. The first season was hilarious but sometimes i found the second season lacking. But it still was a great season. A definite buy is you're a fan of crude humor and hilarious cartoons.

People who like cartoons must be thankful for DVDs, because that technology opened up the floodgates for fans for every kind of animation. Whether you like classic Looney Tunes, hippy-dippy sci-fi parables or Asian tentacle porn, it's all there for you to find and enjoy. It's only been in the last 20 years or so, however, that American TV networks have clued into the idea that many adults like cartoons that have content specifically aimed at adults, even though some cartoons did well in prime-time even fifty years ago or so. Now, with DVD, you can not only watch entire seasons at a shot, you can also see the shows in their unadulterated glory.

Which brings us to the Comedy Central series Drawn Together. I've been a fan of this show for a while, partly because of the writing and partly because of the cheerful way in which it steamrolls political correctness and good taste. If South Park is the Mount Everest of crude, crass animation, then Drawn Together is K2; it doesn't stand as tall, but it's a tougher climb. The truth of this was brought home upon watching the second season of the show on DVD. Much to my surprise, watching the DVD turned out to be a different experience than watching it in first run.

Part of this is due to one of the DVD set's selling points: it's unexpurgated. I didn't think this would make much of a difference, as it's generally pretty clear what's been cut. As it turns out, there was a lot cut out of the show, and not just language: genitalia, violence, enough racist abuse to make the KKK turn red under their sheets, sex in a vast array of configurations and a whole lot of other content that probably produces instant pucker in the unfortunate souls who work in Comedy Central's Standards and Practices department. Now, I'm not one for censorship, but the additional material works against the show to a certain degree. What's there is still funny in multiple senses, from satire to slapstick, but actually being able to hit the money words (and shots) dilutes the humor a bit.

As far as taste goes, DT is not a show to start novices on. If adult animation is still a new concept for you, and you think The Simpsons is bleeding-edge in the sometimes fluid space between being socially acceptable and being a pariah, then DT may cause seizures. For people who like edgy animation, this will be just the ticket. The voiceover artists and writers take their material seriously, and they're willing to go wherever the jokes take them (the season finale has a running gag with historical dates and the episodes connected to them that manages to be both subtle and sick).

In terms of presentation, the DT set is relatively bare-bones. The whole season of 15 episodes is crammed onto two discs, leaving just enough room for a handful of interviews with the voiceover artists (minus Adam Carolla, who has plenty to do outside the show) and a karaoke singalong. The visual quality is pretty sharp, and the sound quality is good, but this isn't the kind of material you use to do any THX certifications with, so it's not like you'd expect much. Still, it's the episodes that matter, and for you sick little monkeys out there who like this kind of thing, Drawn Together season 2 is a worthwhile expenditure. Just don't leave it out where Grandma or the kids might get a hold of it. Either you'll scar them for life (maybe shuffling Granny into an early grave), or you'll never get it back.

Just like the last season, this one gives you hours of laughter and tears.
Uncensored and brutal, the Drawn Together gang will once again in the most twisted way show you how hard life on a reality show can be.
With more episodes, more racist humor and even more stoned producers, this season will without a doubt be even more entertaining than the first one.
If you liked the first season this is a must! If you didn't like the first season, well then go back to watching The Simpsons and miss out on this fantastic DVD.

All my five are belong to this!

more great laughs picking up where the 1st season left off. 3 seasons. collect the whole set, its worth it. go captain hero!

Drawn together is great. I love the jokes, the puns, the straight up silliness. The only thing is I think it's missing a scene in one episode on the DVD. Other than that it's great.

The fans of Drawn Together have waited so long for this DVD to come out and let me tell you it's was well worth the wait!
In this uncut and uncensored DVD we get to see something that I had waited for since the show began we get to hear Xandir sing, however he doesn't sing very long and sounds like a cat being killed, plus we see him in the nude.
I absolutely love the commentary and deleted scenes along with the cast interviews they were such a crack up!
It's fun to see the cartoons we grew up with be parodied in this sick but funny as hell adult cartoon!

What more can one say about Drawn Together?! The show is self-explanatory! And season 2 is just the perfect embodiement of this. DT has no respect for anything, except for the length of an episode(the 30mns format - but that's just the rule for any tv show out there, 30 mns, commercials included, or an hour, but cartoons are always using the first format).
And this is really the only thing DT obeys. For the rest... Anything's game (which means laughing material) for this show. They'll stop at nothing on the road to destroying all taboos! And that's how this satiric animated show found itself a place in a rather crowded category (by quality even more than by quantity), where The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy reign. But DT pushes the limit even further, nesting in that dirty area where even the other three won't go.
The only limit to that strategy is that DT is burning the candle by the two ends, and hadn't the show been cancelled at the end of the third season, they'd probably have run out of taboos to break, anyway, after 4 to 5 years.
But let's salute the effort and appreciate the freedom of speech of the show, even if half of this liberty's wasted on filthy, disgusting, low-level jokes. The other half is just worth the buy!

Finally, this is out! The first season came out a few years ago and the long awaited season 2 finally gets a dvd release. Well this is a great show (although not for youngsters) and the laughs just keep on coming. The special features are kind of lacking, only given some commentaries and of course a karaoke sing along. There are 15 uncensored episodes, including the episode "Terms of Endearment" which was not included in the first season dvd due to legal problems. Anyways, a funny show filled with potty humor, not nessesarily smart or witty, but fun nonetheless. Get it before they take it off the shelfs!

Drawn Together is for MATURE ADULT audiences ONLY!!! Full frontal nudity, male and female, adult situations, sexual scenes, language, extreme violence, etc. I Love Drawn Together,it is hilarious, but we only watch it at night when the kids are in bed. They can't see or hear any of it! But we are fans!!!!!!!
