producers bill oakley and josh weinstein really had something with this show, its too bad it didn't really go anywhere. while one user wrote that the show is "poorly animated" in order for one to appreciate the show, you must appreciate the style of animation rather than writing it off as poor. the use of unorthodox bright colours somewhat reminds me of the simpsons in its glory days, likewise does the style of facial animations used.
The style of comedy and writing of the show is where Mission Hill really shines however. It is a show that instead of chasing and trying to force you to laugh, it gets you with its charming characters and often subtle humour. Not to mention its unexpectedly bold jokes (not quite of the Oblongs variety, but not too far off)
In the end, Mission Hill is a funny, charming and sadly, short lived show that is worth a second look for animated sitcom fans everywhere.
