Don't understand why the 1983 series was such an amazing classic, even though original creators Ross Bagdasarian Jr. And Janaice Karman, has almost no connection to the original two cartoons, and almost no chipmunks singing.

The redesigns of the chipmunks are mediocre, moreover. Although they tried to make the chipmunks look like real children it looks more like a mix of their live-action and original designs fused into one design that creates Chipmunk Humans. And now, let's go to the flanderizations of the characters leaving their very generic personalities.

Alvin suffers the worst flanderization of them all in my opinion, he went from being selfish, rude, and mischievous, but innocent, relatable, and caring in the live-action franchise and the two 1961 and 1983 shows, respectively, to an idiot selfish, self-centered, irritating, sadistic and boring, making it very understandable for Dave to yell at him.

For example, "Liar Liar" where he lies to a child who has a brother in China and even says that Dave spread the lie.

In addition, he tortures and manipulates his brothers many times (mainly Theodore) 1. Talking Teddy.

Alvin gets tired of Talking Teddy and asks Simon to create a keyboard for him to edit what Talking Teddy says, but he goes too far, literally making Theodore do his chores and sell all his money!

In "Safety Third" he manipulates Simon into turning his bus project into a dangerous car that Dave won't buy for him.

In "The Great Snack Off when Theodore gets candy up his nose, (there are doctors) he tries to get the candy out in dangerous ways, which as Simon said, LITERALLY COULD HAVE EXPLODED THEODORE'S HEAD!

Simon has gone from a smart, likable character to a generic punching bag (yes, I know Simon has always been a Butt-Monkey, but here he's much more serious than he usually is) who is a jerk to Alvin (Although that could be justified, as he tortures Simon and Theodore most of the time), but remains pretty tolerable most of the time.

Theodore has been slightly flanderized as he is a large Butt-Monkey, and can sometimes be unsympathetic, for example he stole food in one episode (Allergic Reaction) The Chipettes have also been flanderized, into jerks who abuse their male counterparts in many episodes, especially in the first season. But, Jeanette is the least obnoxious and goofy one and remains pleasant most of the time.

It's mainly one of the best shows in the planet. Alvin may be a troublemaker but hes always loveable

Why would they think this was a good idea?

Why make such a terrible animation and a terrible show overall? That makes no sense.

The show is hideous.

Verdict: "hey we are looking to make a terrible show with terrible animations and with terrible characters It will be nothing like the original since it was soo good. Do you want to join our production team?"

I expected good from this show but it's a total nick nightmare ( my cousin says). The animation is terrible and the music is anything but good. My family who would watch this show (6 years-10 years) all dislike the show. It's gotten so bad my sisters have Stoped watching nick all together. Lastly the personality of all the chipmunks are seriously just annoying. It's too bad that a channel that used to be so great, but now shows this for 5 hours straight! I'm giving it two stars Because the voice acting is alright. The plots are very stiff and full of holes. The show means to teach lessons, but never does. Instead we get repetitive episodes with no point whatsoever. They are supposed to be teenagers, but have the personality of a first grader, and the intelligence of one too. The voices of all the people are really squeaky and annoying. The only good quality of the show is the Chipmunks have okay voices, but other wise this show is a Nightmare. I think the worst part is the animation, as the chipmunks look like mutant warthogs. My dad described them as a cross between a human and a chipmunk, except the human was ugly. All the other reviews for this show were from a adults point of view, but I have kid evidence that this show sucks hardcore. How does it get 10 stars?

There is so much wrong with this show. The voice acting, the storyline, the animation, and the humor is just plain awful. I much prefer you watch the 80's show then watch this nightmare.

Honestly tell me this cartoon is liked more than the 80s version. . It perfectly shows the relationship between all the main characters, from the first view, you can understand their characters, see everyday situations, amazing animation, the characters are all cute, each has its own individual character and each episode is different in its song. In General, the cartoon is awesome.

The series is an animated comedy about a single father named David Seville, who is raising three Chipmunks. He can lose his patience sometimes, causing him to say "ALVINNN!!!". There is a song in every episode. The series takes place in modern times and discusses modern topics such as Dave's technology issues and school bullying. Others are parents embarrassing kids and parents needing dates.

There are 20 episodes in season 1.

1. Principal Interest/Talking Teddy 2. A is for Alien/Jeanette Enchanted 3. Sister Act/Lil' T 4. What a Gem/Family Spirit 5. The App/Don Juan Theodoro 6. Albrittina/Simon for President 7. To Serve and Protect/Kickin' It Old School 8. Clowning Around/Bully fir You 9. My Sister the Weirdo/ Turf War 10. Who's Your Daddy?/Good Luck Mr. Whiskers 11. Mystic Mountain/Candy Confessions 12. Mojo Missing/Who's the Animal 13. Slippin' Thru My Fingers/Driving Dave Crazy 14. Safety Third/Mister Manners 15. Tree House/Saving Simon 16. Back to School/Bromance 17. A Room of One's Own/Carts and Crafts 18. Going Green/Tattle Tail 19. Super Heroes/She's Got Style 20. Kiss Conspiracy/House Guest

Why the hell are you guys promoting a child trying to date a principal. What are you trying to teach kids. Kids don't watch full episodes of shows to learn a lesson from the shows. They take the bits and pieces and go from there.

Since the release of this show it has become the best for me. Because it has funny lines, cool dialogue, a lot of songs, interesting stories and a lot of jokes which you can only get a lot of positive. 10/10

Why has the show been on for five seasons??? The show is nothing like the movies or the old cartoons! They show no representation of a good version of Alvin and the Chipmunks! Do not watch the show at all!

This is a very good cartoon about an unusual trio of chipmunks: Simon, Alvin and Theodore. The result was a very musical cartoon, funny and funny. You can watch it with the whole family. Get a lot of positive emotions, from which you can be delighted. There are moments where you can laugh heartily. I liked everything in this cartoon. Beautiful story, great characters, songs and humor, unlike other cartoons on nickelodeon where there is fart jokes.

The show can be funny at times and compares well with other shows on nickelodeon. If you are a fan of the chipmunks you'll like it. If not, there are some things to enjoy. I am personally in the later group. I find the chipmunk songs awful, and they happen EVERY episode. However this is my own opinion, and the chipmunks franchise is centered on their songs so I suppose that the show does it's job well.

One thing I really hated was the animation, it's abysmal and a HUGE downgrade from the movies (and the animation wasn't the best in them either). Voice acting can fall flat too. I would have given it a 6 if it wasn't for these things. If you look past them (quite literally) you'll find an OK show which can be funny.

Another series that does not have severe violence on the one hand, and on the other, regardless of that, is boring. First of all, the attempt to make fun of this series aspires to 0. There are a few individual episodes that are a little fun of them, but in most episodes the series is just boring and so childish and not original. The series dulls the boring story of Alvin in every chapter, his hobby of interest without insulting my balls. Why the hell do you care about him? Why is he such a prime figure? He's bored with madness! Alvin is really an arrogant kid who cares only about himself, why the hell is he a main character? Simon, I think, is a much more interesting character, the only character in the series who has managed to make me laugh a little. In any case, the series is very childish and it is not understood why it is broadcast on Nickelodeon, it is intended for children up to the age of 12. Childish boring and really not original, overall tells a story about an arrogant child and his hobbies that do not interest anyone. The other characters, Theodore is also a pretty boring figure, Simon a reasonable figure, Father Dave just a bad character. They repeat every episode of his slogan, Alvin, who is so predictable and not funny, the character is not really original, tells about an ordinary father who pays more attention to one son, even though he shows in most episodes a hatred of Alvin. The rest of the characters, the girls are all boring, regardless of feminism, there are female characters in other series that laugh more than males, but not in this case. Again, the main character there, Brittany, again lack of originality, tells about a arrogant and disgusting girl, and again her hobbies really do not interest. The rest of the girls, the little girl, is actually a reasonable figure, the one with the glasses, like most of the characters in the series, B-O-R-I-N-G Rating - 4.5

Even listening to the theme song of this show gives me PTSD. Whenever it is referenced I suddenly fall ill with a fever and headache. Words cannot express my hate for this show and everything about it.

The story lines are so-so; the characters themselves are cute, but the animation is super two-dimensional and flat. I know 3D is more costly, yet the quality would be so much better and more enjoyable to watch. I'm a teen and enjoyed the movies, so decided to give the TV version a try when I feel like vegging and pretending for five seconds that chipmunks can talk and live like people. My parents grew up with the original Alvin &the Chipmunks, but my mom actually finds this show painful to watch! With so many other cartoon series available, I'm surprised they don't either spend a few extra bucks on this one, or just cancel it altogether. I've been watching a lot of Boomerang cartoon reruns, and there's no comparison between the old-school hand-drawn cartoon cels, and the new and "improved" computer-generated animation. Nick beats Disney hands down when it comes to shows with live actors, but could learn a ton from Disney when it comes to animation!

Let me begin with what's positive about this show. It does make a attempt to be more like the Original Alvin and the Chipmunks, not like those awful GCI movies. And let's jump in what is not good about it, which is a lot. First of all, why call it ALVINNNNNNN and the Chipmunks. Why not call it Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Series. Cuz those extra N's are just weird for me. Even The Looney Tunes Show and that Emperor's New Groove spin off got that right. Even the Lilo and Stitch spin off got the title right. But let's not stay to long on one topic. Furthermore, the voices seem way more annoying than the movies. I seriously got a headache within 2 minutes. I mean, tone it down a notch. And that's another problem. They do not shut up. It would make more sense to hear them more than you would hear Dave, but i would like Dave to be the antagonist. He is a good character in this show, better than the movies. That is what they did get right. And now the biggest problem: NOTHING HAPPENS. In the original movies, even the CGI Chipmunk movies had some adventure in them. But these episodes are just mundane. It looks more like the life of a 8 year old instead of the Chipmunks. Like playing super hero, and finding the neighbors cat. It just feels so BORING! And the CGI looks worse than the CGI movies. It looks like a slightly better cereal commercial from the 80's. And then we get songs, which is in the same high ear penetration as everything. I can seriously imagine a 70 year old man's voice without the high pitch. It's just like a kid jumping on his bed. Loud, annoying and without any purpose. Go watch The Loud House or Gravity Falls or Star VS. the Forces of Evil. Because there has been put actual effort in all of those shows. Nothing of creativity here.
