No, this animated series is not about anthropomorphic chewing gum, it's about a young cat named Gumball Watterson. Gumball has a penchant for getting into trouble, often resulting from schemes he comes up with, but he never seems to learn his lesson. Gumball's best friend is a fish named Darwin, who used to be the family pet until he grew legs and became part of the family. Gumball resents his younger sister, Anais, because she is the smartest member of the family. Gumball's mother is the breadwinner in the family, working long hours at the rainbow factory, and his father stays at home watching TV and playing video games.

3/5
Full of quirky characters (peanuts and bananas, for starters) and a lot of over-the-top humor, Gumball's world is a place where kids' wildest imaginings will likely come to pass. Go to Full Review

Jack F @MovieFan111 Dec 16 This is a rating of the the series as a whole. It's probably one of the best TV shows you could watch as a kid (or not as a kid). Everyone's heard of this show. It's so great. I'll never forget the times they referenced Mad Max Fury Road, and Reservoir Dogs. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 16 17 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gumball is my favourite cartoon because it is the most entertaining and the most unpredicable of all cartoons. the characters are the craziest and the most original. The stories are the most surprising. Gumball the cat is crazier than Darwin the fish. If you want to watch a family series thah is funny. I advise you to watch the incredible world of gumball because it is very funny and very amazing Gumball always cheers me up when I am feeling down. It is my favourite show cartoon,you should watch it when you need fun. See more Read all reviews
