the characters themselves were most of the show. Unlike other cartoons the characters involved have so much more than face value. Take Sheen for example. he comes across as an ultralord obsessed, braindead freak. he is actually some what intelligent and good with computers(he wrote a website by himself)and also a good,loyal friend. Also, jimmy is not the usual snob-genius hybrid of any kids show with a similar premise. The script proves that careful thought and planning were involvedin all joke set ups. Good humor, such as in the show,does not just happen. Over all, this may be one of the best shows in the world, and it is certaintly my favorite.
