Glenn Martin DDS (2009–2011)
7/10
Interesting Animation Occasional Funny Moments and Mid Writing
19 December 2023
I have recently been introduced to Glen Martin DDS as I was watching a video of channel surfing 2009. I searched the show up on Google and found that the first season was officially on YouTube with the second season being on Tubi. After watching the first season, I have to say that it's underrated. For one I enjoy the animation style and I think it's rather intriguing and new compared to the traditional ways of animation. The writing is simple but also somewhat sophisticated at the same time. The jokes are alright but can be a bit to reliant on crude/potty humor, however there are some clever political, social, cultural references throughout the program. That being said there are some scenes in this show that wouldn't fly in today's climate, most notably a scene where one of the main characters calls a transgender women a "he/she" a term that is quite offensive and insulting to members of the LGBTQ community, there's also quite a bit of homophobic jokes in it so yeah.

On content side of things, this was aired on NICK@NIGHT, a programing block on nickelodeon aimed at teens and young adults. Though there was some controversy with it originally airing at 7:30pm especially with it being aired right after SpongeBob despite containing crude and suggestive humor, sexual situations, course language (damn, ass, piss) and somewhat graphic violence. The show is rated TV:PG DLSV, however I would say that this program is more so TV:14 due to both the overt and frequent sexual references and the violence that can be quite gruesome at times.

Overall a decent program with some issues.
