I finally started watching the TV show today.

I wasn't too pleased with this first episode.

I'll admit that my expectations for the show weren't very high, but I was curious too. And I'm a completionist, so I knew I'd have to check it out eventually. I can say that it was entertaining, albeit pretty cheesy too. And the songs... ugh
(although the background music was good, and I liked the main title theme). Maybe the series will start to grow on me as I get further in? Or else maybe some episodes are better than others. I guess I'll find out.
I already knew from the community that there wasn't any real reason given as to why Chomper is no longer with his parents, and now lives in the Great Valley under the care of Ruby. Still, since it is the first episode, I guess they felt they had to offer some sort of explanation, even if it's a throwaway line. But I really wish they'd given us more than just Ruby saying,
"I promised your mom and dad I'd keep us safe from Red Claw."Speaking of Red Claw, for such a light-hearted series, he has a pretty freaky design! Beyond that, though, I wasn't very impressed with him. He seems like just another generic Sharptooth antagonist, at least so far.
And speaking of Ruby, being the first episode, this makes it her debut to the franchise. Kinda awkward that she just appears out of nowhere and everyone already knows who she is.

I do like that we got to see Tria and Tricia again, even if briefly.
Well those are my thoughts for now. I'll report in again as I see the other episodes.
I remember the first time I watched this episode. It was at my parent's house on vacation, and the window was open. When Ducky screamed, she set all the dogs in the neighborhood barking for like ten minutes. It was like that scene from 101 Dalmatians, and really funny.
