Review of Alvin & the Chipmunks

I was channel surfing when I came across "Alvin and the Chipmunks." I decided to watch it, it might be amusing. I was surprised, I was expecting a corny 80's cartoon with dumb jokes. And, well, it IS a corny 80's cartoon, but the jokes are much better than I expected. I don't know how to explain it; picture this: Alvin and the chipmunks have run away from home, and they order coffee at a diner. The waitress asks, "Aren't you a little young for coffee?" to which Alvin replies in a surly tone and that ridiculously high voice: "We're orphans. No one cares if we stunt our growth." Just re-watch it with an open mind. And...ignore the dumb songs in each episode.
