I want to start out by saying that I am thoroughly addicted to watching Cartoon Network as a whole. When Clarence premiered I was very open-minded to something new and original. Unfortunately, after watching the first five episodes I find Clarence to be extremely boring and unfunny. I haven't laughed out loud once while watching this program. I don't know if people related to promoting programming go on some of these review sites to pump up positive reviews or what? Clarence is an innocent and optimistic enough main character, but it just doesn't have enough substance to it. On a brighter note, I do find Clarence's friends Sumo and Jeff mildly charming. I like Sumo's voice and Jeff's OCD personality. Perhaps Clarence is more geared toward younger viewers, like post- teletubbies age? I have to wonder if Clarence is going for wholesome, animated programming why oftentimes does the premise of Clarence's heroism revolve around cheating, stealing and overeating? If these instances are being used for comedic relief, it doesn't hit the mark. So far Clarence has failed to either amuse or entertain.
