Being a big fan of SNL, I really wanted to love The Awesomes. But unfortunately, I couldn't even like it. With all due respect to Seth Meyers, et al, this show is just not funny. And sadly, it's not even interesting. There's nothing new or fresh about the concept of an "inferior" superhero taking over a group of other inferior super heroes. It's been done. And it's been done much better. The show seems like it's trying really hard to be a little edgy, but it doesn't even come close. If you're going to do an adult animated show, then you have to go all out, like the Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy, etc, etc.. There has to be some spice and some bite to it. Unfortunately, this show not only lacks any kind of heat whatsoever, it falls flat and bland like boiled, limp cabbage. Which, in the end, only leaves you with gas.
