Review: Momma Named Me Sheriff “Neighborhood Knight Watch”

Overview (Spoilers Below)

On the season two finale of Momma Named Me Sheriff, the Mayor isn’t all that happy about the fact that the Sheriff invites all of his friends over to the station for a little “trashketball” while Old Town is going to hell due to an uptick in crime. In a way to take advantage of a loophole so that his friends get to still come over AND work for the station, Sheriff nominates Carl, Linda, and Mr. Bojangles as a neighborhood knight watch. The program is so successful, it sees the Mayor shutting down the station in favor of the knights who are led by Carl and are slowly turning things around down town.

In an attempt to get back their station, Goodman and Sheriff turn to Blades for help. With a simple flick of a switch, the duo turns into dragons and, despite an initial setback, are able to take back the station and turn things right. Unfortunately, Beverly feels like she’s been left out of the loop with her husband for so long that she opts for divorce.

Our Take

Wow! What a finish! I’ll be curious to see what the future of this franchise is now with the voice of Mr. Goodman now a part of some controversy and now Beverly leaving him. Fortunately, the title character is voiced by show co-creator Will Carsola and he, together with co-creator Dave Stewart, knocked it out of the park with this finale episode. Was there comedy? Yes, but the real joy is the awe-inspiring visuals that came about as Carl’s Kingdom slowly came to power together with Sheriff and Goodman turning into dragons. I was kind of hoping for a bit of a blood bath climax, but that didn’t happen. I was also hoping that with the news that Blade has the tech to bring animals back to life, this could leave the door open for a Mr. Pickles revival, that didn’t happen. But, what did happen,. is by far the show’s most ambitious episode to date that delivered in a number of different ways that hopefully is a proof-of-concept for Adult Swim to hand out a third season sooner, rather than later.
