5.0 out of 5 stars Father of the Pride rocks!, February 23, 2005

By	Red Dragon (New York) - See all my reviews

Although FotP has been off the air for a couple of months, I continue to watch my recordings of it. Every Wednesday morning college students and I would sit in my office and laugh our butts off at this terrific show. NBC simply didn't get it. Even though the ratings were low in its terrible time slot, rather than cancel FotP, why not try another night & time? It seems that unless it's so-called "reality" or violence, there's no place for clever, adult television. I still love "The Simpsons", but there were way more laughs in FotP then Simpsons have shown in a long time. So another entertaining show goes the way of Family Guy, Futurama, Firefly, Enterprise...while pandering dreck is allowed to remain. (How many people really found the highly promoted "Joey" funny? God, what boring tripe!) Perhaps it will live again on dvd. Let us hope.

1.0 out of 5 stars they LIED, June 23, 2005

By	K. Goble "ender" (vegas baby) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

on the top of the case it says "THE COMPLETE SERIES" what it should say is the edited, censored, water downed version so we try not to offend anyone but white men cause they dont matter version. I wanted the complete series, not an edited series. what is it with these companies changing stuff to be politically correct?? the most obvious edit is they got rid of the cat cleaning off larrys whip cream. but they leave in the white men/lions cant dance joke. what else has been edited for my viewing safety?? this is why I wont buy the "in living color " series, they edited them. unfortunatly I pre ordered this but wouldnt have got it had I known I wasnt getting what they are advertising. the shows are funny but I hate when they do the PC thing so as not to offend anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Judge for yourselves, September 1, 2004

By	D. L. Coullahan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This show is nothing like the first commercials would lead one to believe. I was expecting a smut filled trudge through the zoo but instead found it a delightful romp. The animation is first rate. The lions are a loving family and the animated Siegfried and Roy are just perfectly over the top. They were, in my opinion, the funniest part of the show. The humor is gentle and the "smut" is not constant nor is it of the "in your face" variety. It will very easily go over a lot of childrens heads.
Personally I find it refreshing to be able to watch a show (animated or otherwise) that is not wall to wall violence and who's main aim is to just make everyone happy.
I was pleased with the show and am looking forward to many, many more episodes!!!
