I will start by saying I am a huge long time fan of animated series like this and absolutely love Bob's Burgers. When I heard about The Great North and its voice cast I was very excited. Unfortunately it fell short of its potential. The premier episode had a few lightly funny moments and some cringeworthy misses, but it did not come even close to the cleverness and humor that Bob's provides. Not to mention the characters lacked a little appeal and the Alaska connection was not as prevalent as I expected. Sometimes shows like this start our meh and quickly improve from fan feedback, I hope that is the case here. The show has the potential of being one of the great animated series of this era but it will take a lot better writing and character development to get there. They could also hire someone who actually lives in Alaska to give them some guidance too.
