Editorial Review:
This is the true story of eight animated characters, picked to live together in a house to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.
Meet the stars of Drawn Together, eight cartoons from all walks of life who have to deal with each others quirks, differences and drunken gropings in a hot tub. From Clara, the racist fairy tale princess, to Foxxy Love, the sassy, sexy musician to Woldoor Sockbat the... whatever he is, these housemates fast learn the art of loving, punching and licking each other.
Description of Drawn Together - Season One (Uncensored):
If animated characters were forced to live together, would they remain their upstanding and lovable selves, or would their "real" personalities peek out from under the artwork? That's the question posited by Drawn Together, a no-holds-barred satire on reality series that trods gleefully on restraint and good taste in its quest for laughs. Co-created and produced by Dave Jesser and Matt Silverstein of The Man Show, Drawn Together chronicles the misadventures of eight cartoon characters (each thinly veiled takes on famous personas like Superman, SpongeBob Squarepants, and so on) who reside together in a Big Brother-style house while hidden cameras capture their every move. As the first season unfolds, the roommates prove to be on their worst behavior, indulging in illegal substances (i.e., Pokémon-style housemate Ling-Ling's fur in "The Other Cousin"), racism (spoiled princess Clara mistakes hot-pantsed black detective Foxxy for a servant in "Hot Tub"), and all manner of sexual shenanigans (a pregnancy scare forces Clara to reveal a monstrous physical problem in "Clara's Dirty Little Secret"). Obviously, the humor in Drawn Together is strictly for grown-ups) and though it's occasionally vulgar for vulgar's sake, the show is frequently funny and well-performed by its voice talent. The two-disc set features all seven of the first-season episodes that were aired (one episode, "Terms of Endearment," which lampooned actor Christopher Reeve's physical impairment, was pulled after his death, and is slated for the second season), as well as commentary from the vocal cast with Jesser and Silverstein, a selection of deleted and expanded scenes, and most amusingly of all, a karaoke sing-along for the show's raunchy songs. --Paul Gaita
Drawn Together - Season One (Uncensored) Reviews:
Hilarious 
2009-10-02 - A great show, but the first season isn't as good as the second and third. It truly is a shame it got canceled.
Horrible DVD 
2009-07-16 - Edit: I'd like to reiterate that my 1/5 is a markdown of the DVD's quality, and is as valid as any opinion about the show itself since this product IS a DVD. It seems rushed, untested and is not PC-friendly. As to the show itself, I think it's disgusting and juvenile (I'll stick to "Beavis & Butthead" and "Ren & Stimpy"), but I haven't seen enough of it so that's not what this review is about.
===
I've just watched part of the first episode on the DVD. The show can be both disgusting and funny. The highlight was definately the video game character's tornado transport mowing over a trailer park, but that was offset by gross amounts of on-camera peeing.
But that's not my reason for this review or its low rating. Its navigation on the PC is broken. I've tested it on three players on two operating systems and you can't do anything beyond clicking on menu buttons, pausing and playing. I can't jump to the main menu to skip the several minutes of ads. That's ignorable since I can find something else to do while it plays, but inexcusable. It's nonsense like this that helps out the 'pirate format' so much.
No, what really kills this it is the time bar is locked. You can't manipulate it, so if you're using a player that doesn't have fast forward or rewind buttons, you're stuck with chapter hopping. Part of the fun of watching a video on a PC is the fact that you can easily scroll back and forth through a DVD or jump to almost exactly the minute you want to without having to watch clippy segments of it pass by. Whether this is due to some oddball copy protection scheme or just poor design, I don't know. I don't care, either, but once I'm finished with these discs, I think I'll be moving on to another show.

Very Uncensored
2008-12-10 - Though the show is clever in the ways it makes fun of reality tv and famous cartoon characters, I found it gross and very inappropriate. I bought it for a friend for his birthday, and wish I hadn't watched it. It is just terrible and disgusting.
Yet another pointless show that has received its own DVD...
2008-10-08 - Granted, I haven't watched this show in awhile(partly because it might not be on Adult Swim anymore, but hopefully because they've come to their senses and cancelled it). The animation is done quite well, and the concept is at least interesting but unfortunately thats it. Almost every minute of every episode involves pointless bleeped out cussing and finding any reason to have characters fart, puke, or die in grotesque and bloody ways. Granted not all comedy or animation needs to be deep or contain a moral, however is it too much to ask for some sort of storyline that goes beyond entertaining potheads and individuals who are a bit "touched" in the head?
