Gravity Falls
First off, THANKS COPYGOO, for indirectly getting me into this show.
Second, this show was made by one of the guys behind The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Third, it's like a crossover cartoon of previously aforementioned show in terms of animation with random humor and X-Files/Twin Peaks style parodying. Fourth, it has one of the best theme songs I've heard.

I wholly agree on the theme song. All-instrumental is getting pretty rare now, it was quite nice to hear one like that.
I saw clips of this when passing by Disney Channel, I think. With the cryptid theme how close is it to The Secret Saturdays?

Very, very different from The Secret Saturdays. Less about hunting cryptids and much more about just kind of exploring and being kids.
VAs are great and the jokes are pretty hilarious. |

Uncle Stan looks like a Shriner, too. Those guys are always trouble!

Watched an episode of this tonight. And I fucking loved it. I'd put it in the class of shows (Main demo. is kids but it appeals to older people) like Adventure Time.
Concept is decent and played incredibly well. VAs are awesome and make the characters more, y'know, "believable" or something to that effect. Favorite character (after only one episode) has to be Mabel because she's just awesome like that (and gets bonus points for being voiced by Kristen Schaal). |

I sure hope this isn't a quote from the show and you're under the mistaken impression that the writers are comedy gods. ^_^; Saw this very joke, crosshairs, bullet holes, and all, on a redneck's pickup truck's rear window in the form of a bumper sticker a few months ago. I sorely doubt said redneck was a fan of a children's cartoon show and that he had managed to get his favorite line from the show turned into a bumper sticker, so I'm left only to conclude that the writers for this show heard the joke (perhaps from the bumper sticker) and incorporated it into the show.
If it's not a line from the show you're attributing to the wittiness of the writers, then carry on.

Given what I saw in the first episode, the speaker is probably not a red-neck, but he might be a grey beard.

YES. This show is so very, very good.
Mabel is such an amazing character for ALL purposes. Honestly, it's really, really amazing and I'm that excited about it. |

It's a cute show. Reminds me of 90's cartoons. Also reminds me a little of Johnny Quest and I don't know why.

Here are others from the credits: Spoiler: show I've not actually bothered looking for them in the show myself. Anyone know exactly when/where they occur? Btw, anyone notice anything peculiar about the image on that site? Spoiler: show
