I love this movie so much

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

All the literal, dry humor, the breaking of the fourth wall, the random bits thrown in for no reason. There is nothing unlikable about this show. If you dislike this show, you probably hate all happiness and just wish the whole world would be as miserable as you. But I say No Thank You, Sir. I live in a world of joy and happiness, and that is why I love this show.This show was the best thing to ever happen to Cartoon Network. It was the last truly funny Cartoon Cartoon developed, and it can be summarized in one word: Awesome. But there is a requirement for lines of text in a review, so I will use a few other words: Joyous, Delightful, A Godsend, Beautiful, Wonderful, and was all around the light of my life from ages 10-12, before it was coldly taken from me with little to no chance of a DVD release.

Truly good cartoons appeal to people of all ages, and "Sheep in the Big City" certainly falls in that category. There is enough basically zany humor to appeal to children, but when the show makes references which go far beyond the world of Saturday morning animation, it is the adults who can enjoy the humor.In one episode, the narrator explains that the whole cast is down with the flu, but fortunately, they've found an old film of Sheep's grandfather to show instead. It turns out to be a brilliantly funny black and white, silent takeoff of Chaplin's masterpiece "City Lights", with Sheep in the Chaplin role. In another episode, the narrator declares that this show is uniquely different from other cartoons in its style and urban setting - just as Sheep is escaping from the city and starts running through a "Roadrunner" style desert.Great entertainment grabs your attention and holds it every moment. In this show, everything from the hilarious narration to the fake commercials to the bizarre Swedish segment at the end is worth paying attention to.In the early 60's, Rocky and Bullwinkle offered this kind of entertainment. Now we have "Sheep", thank goodness.

this show was great...one of the most clever pre- adult swim shows ever produced by cartoon network. with such clever segments as "touched by a ninja" and "the ranting swede", how could this show not be genius? the show was sadly short lived, as many of the satires and may not have been geared towards the younger audiences of cartoon network. the brand of offbeat humor might not have appealed to the younger crowd as much either, but i know my friends and i loved the show. if you're a big fan of silly satire, the type of offbeat humor provided by such shows as the kids in the hall, you're definitely a Sheep fan. WHY Isn't THERE A DVD I CAN BUY???

As described above, Sheep In The Big City is a great show. It really brings back the humor that's been missing SO long in cartoons nowadays...that of the silly, not-making-sense kind, not of the stereotyped juvenile kind like Nick dishes out on their network. It brings back great memories of Rocky and Bullwinkle...add to that a great cast of characters, interesting storylines, a cute sheep as the hero of the show, and humorous "commercials" in-between the show's chapters akin to Ren & Stimpy, and you got yourself one of the best cartoons on Cartoon Network. It's a shame they only play it once a week...
