Gary and Joel are eternally optimistic best friends who are trying to navigate the harsh landscape of teenage life -- doing so without any parental guidance. Gary's father left years ago, leaving him with his absentee stepmother, while Joel's elderly parents are unseen and uninvolved. But that may be for the better since the adults who are present in the teens' lives would never be confused for role models. The guys guide themselves through life in their seemingly bleak world with just each other to depend on.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Unsupervised is a cheap Beavis and Butt-Head knock-off that's sporadically funny at best.

B-
There's comedy in the irony, but there's optimism in the sincerity. It's a strangely beautiful closing bit, and a remarkable distillation of Unsupervised. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com 06/18/2020
3/5
"Unsupervised" could eventually be a great show. Right now it's an interesting one with a few clever jokes and a remarkably talented voice cast but it's inconsistent. Go to Full Review Chris Cabin Slant Magazine 01/19/2012
1/4
The pathos is soggy, even when it comes to the adults. Go to Full Review R.L. Shaffer IGN Movies 06/18/2020
3.5/10
Unsupervised is a vapid waste of time and talent that isn't even well animated, playing like one of those bargain bin barely animated mockbusters you see at Wal-Mart for $5 (think: Titanic: The Animated Movie). Fitting. Go to Full Review Matt Springer Common Sense Media 06/18/2020
2/5
Unsupervised is a shrill and immature comedy lacking in enough creativity to earn much of a recommendation, even for adults mature enough to handle the material. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Erin S 10/24/2023 I wish they'd of made more seasons. I think that if Unsupervised were released now, it would be a true hit! Even though I think it's 100% awesome! See more 01/17/2018 Great show. Too ahead of its time to stay alive. See more 08/08/2017 Underrated. I agree that Russ is the best. Poor kids with big hearts. Ya got me hooked! Too bad only one season was made :( See more 12/20/2016 The critics for this show have no clue what they are talking about. This show is essentially the art style of Archer paired with the humor akin to most Adult Swim shows. Sadly, even with great ratings and a green light for Season 2, it ended after one season and multiple attempts at a revival have been made. Justin Long and David Hornsby lend amazing VO work to the show and if you like Adult Swim cartoons, you will probably get a kick out of this. See more 03/17/2015 Unsupervised's premise may scream "Beavis and Butthead in reverse", but it's morals are kind, it's writing is intelligent and it's characters are adorable. See more 01/29/2015 Disagree with the critics on this site for sure. Is nowhere near a Beavis and Butthead knockoff. There are plenty of scenes that are hilarious and endearing. Favorite character has to be Russ due to the insanely poverty this kid has to endure. He's got incredible one liners that'll make you shake your head. Give this show a chance and ignore this sites self-absorbed critics. See more Read all reviews
