I never really got this show. It pretends a witty and imaginative children's program that's a delight for adults and kids alike, or so it's hype states. But honestly, I find the characters very 2D and quite annoying. Yes, they have very in depth back-stories, but that doesn't make up for the total lack of personality. The female characters seem to only posses one individual trait, for example Princess Bubblegum, she 's super-smart and in to Chemistry...And that's basically it. The male characters aren't that much better either, as they rely only on funny faces and a rather staged and pathetic attempt at original dialog. Nothing about it seems particularly imaginative, it's a bit like an adults attempt at the imagination of a child, full of old, unoriginal things like Candy-Kingdoms, talking food and unicorns...There's nothing particularly meaningful about anything, as everything about the whole Adventure Time World is based on speculation.
In spite of this, some episodes really drag out the creativity and originality that the series ought to have, some things quite obviously have deep meanings, for example the episode where Finn attempts to find his real father.
Of course, for children, this TV show is fantastic, and I think that is it's intended audience. Teenagers or adults who watch this show, while free to do so, should not pretend to be wacky and intelligent by watching it, because really it's very mindless and immature.
All in all, it's an okay show, but it does not deserve the amount of attention and viewer-ship that it currently attains.
