Shorts Review: Dee Tremendous – My First Date

Enter yet another new series from Bite on Mondo entitled ‘Dee Tremendous’ which follows a lovable oaf named Dee whom lives in his parents’ basement and embarks on his first date with a rather sweet girl. Unfortunately, something happens along the way that sees the one-time budding couple turning into just friends. But, I don’t think the door is closed for good.

And I hope it isn’t because Dee is a really lovable character. He sort of reminds me of a sweeter ‘Cleveland Jr.’ in that he looks to be just an innocent kid looking to figure his way through his teenage years. Show creator/writer Deepak Sethi has a lot of talent, but I personally think Joel MacKenzie is the one that sort of puts the magic in this show. His character designs eschew an almost a Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist vibe and Little Blackstone Studio helps put together a package that is certainly throwback, but very well underutilized nowadays.
