More like Teen Titans Go Watch the Original

If you are a fan of the original show, the voice actors from that version are back, but that is the only positive that I can say about this garbage dump of a show! The comedy, if you can call it that, is so bad that it makes Bugs Bunny look like a Shakespearean actor by comparison! The animation is a major step backward that they had the original show because of it, and you know that a reboot is bad when the original is referenced in it! I have a young niece, and I did say that it was for ages 9 and up, but I think that it is best if even children stay clear of this show, as Cartoon Network is staying to make it their Mickey Mouse, which would have been better if this show had come out in the 90s, but this is a show from 2013 and by that time, it was not okay as people nowadays see this behavior as cringe and an exceptionally horrible idea, networks, please stop trying to create a mascot for your networks for the love of God!

Great show

This is a great show. I've been watching this with my daughter for years (she's 9 now). There is nothing wrong with this show. It's so much fun. There is nothing wrong with fun... unless you're anti-fun. then you should totally watch this show and do the booty-scooty!

What's the Story?

TEEN TITANS GO! marks the return to TV of a team of young superheroes based on characters from DC Comics. In this incarnation, Raven (voiced by Tara Strong), Robin (Scott Menville), Starfire (Hynden Walch), Cyborg (Khary Payton), and Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) are roommates in Titans Tower, where their individual powers make things nearly as unpredictable as they are when they're battling villains. But even superheroes have down time, and that's when these cameras are rolling, observing their interactions during the mundane events of everyday life because nothing can turn a normal afternoon into chaos faster than five teens with superpowers and an affinity for hijinks.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (179 ):
Kids say (492 ):

These popular characters get a youthful makeover and new purpose in this sharply written cartoon. The focus veers away from the characters' superhero personas and zeroes in on how they interact with each other when they're not called on to save the world. Given that there's no telling when Beast Boy will morph into another creature or Raven will use witchcraft to get her way, there's a lot of potential for absurdity among these friends, and that's the stuff that kid-pleasing cartoons are made of.

Whereas its predecessor, Teen Titans, monitored the heroes' battles against evil villains, Teen Titans Go! brings their relationships more to the forefront as it drops them into everyday situations that are more of a challenge than any attack would be. How do you guarantee "alone" time to watch your favorite cartoon by yourself? What if your best friend's perfect birthday gift isn't budget-friendly? And is it any easier to deal with these problems when you have superpowers? Because these kinds of kid-friendly issues drive this show's content rather than the battles themselves -- not to mention that the characters look decidedly younger here than they did in Teen Titans -- it's a safer choice than most superhero shows for younger kids and even manages a few positive messages alongside the clever comedy and characterizations.
