REVIEW: UNSUPERVISED ” Reggie Dog Bites”

Gary and Joel must dispose of Carol’s ex’s body in the first-season finale.

Spoilers Below

Reggie gets into a bar fight, then a dog fight, then he fights a truck, later he fights a some power lines, but what kills him is when he climbs up the house and falls off…yep that’s one way to go! For those who don’t know Reggie was Carol’s boyfriend of sorts, but when Gary and Joel find him stone cold, they don’t know what to make of the situation. While at school, the boys tell their friends about it but everyone else has their own thing going on.. Meg’s parents are getting divorced, and its Russ’ birthday of which no one remembers.

Gary and Joel feels that they one day might also be unmarked bodies similar to Reggie, so they decide to go to the morgue and do something about it.  The manager of said morgue says that unmarked bodies go to China where they get shaved and sold for top dollar.  Gary and Joel decide to sign off on the corpse, and they go to Martin in order to try and get some advice on burying the body. After declining Martin’s burial fee of a 1000 bucks, the guys turn to Darius and a recently ran-away Meg for some pointers. They eventually decide to take the body and bury it in Reggie’s front yard but its made of cement and it already has new neighbors. After finding a bird egg and a diamond ring, the kids reaffirm that Reggie needs a proper burial no matter what and they know just the spot! Russ’s house! Yep, the whole crew from Maynord comes to Russ’ house for his bday and they’ve got a present for his front yard!

The  kids decide to hold a procession for the dead body and everyone shows up. Its here that we find out from Carol that Reggie was always a piece of shit so no one is going to miss him and that Meg’s parents aren’t getting divorced. The body is buried, the egg hatches, and we conclude Unsupervised.

That concludes the first season of Unsupervised. Not sure if you remember, but in the mid-year review I always thought that if Gary and Joel found a dead body similar to the Sunny Crew that they would just leave it alone but I guess I was wrong. Also, I firmly believe the writers knew this was the last episode ever, Gary’s speech and Joel’s toast, the bird egg hatching, etc, all of which I think were meant to be goodbyes to a hardcore group of fans of the show/ I’m not sure if people will remember Unsupervised years from now or if it will be lost in the shuffle of one and done animated series like Good Vibes. But, I do know one thing, Beavis and Butthead ripoff this wasn’t, quality animated television…sounds more like it.
