Our Take
And that’s a wrap on the second season of HouseBroken! We have no idea if an actual third season is coming (it should be noted a couple of season three episodes were sprinkled in this year, but that’s it) and we won’t know until after the strikes are over and who the hell knows when THAT is. But, I think FOX has a great franchise here with HouseBroken, and we’ll go into more detail why in our season review next week, but this one shouldn’t get the Duncanville treatment.
For my money, I find competition premises boring, but it’s not like HouseBroken has done a TON of them, so “Who’s a Winner?” gave me enough to hang my hat on regardless. The sheep were just cute as the dickens, and one of the things I love about the show is that animals don’t just die off, rather, the producers make sure to showcase the fact that animals typically survive in this series no matter how big or small.
“Who’s a Mole?” dealt quite effectively to being the least fun part of being a pet owner…administering meds. Anybody who has been a furry parent knows the pain that comes with trying to give meds to animals and this episode was a great showcase of that.
HouseBroken is special because it deals with pets which makes it a perfect complement to the people-heavy lineup of Animation Domination. People love their pets, and HouseBroken is for them. We’ll go into further detail as to why this show deserves more in our season review coming next week, but it does.
