First of all the characters are unlikeable and mean spirited. Lucky isn't one of the worst protagonist, he's one of the protagonists that you wouldn't want to root for and win. Rolly, very cliché. He's not as bad as Lucky or Cadpig. Cadpig is just terrible. She's also mean spirited like Lucky. Her character is cliché. She's also mean spirited like Lucky towards Spot. Spot is the only character on this goddamn show I feel sympathy for. Shes always bullied by everyone on the farm . Even her best friends bully her around like a toy. The poor thing thing. thats the only character I like. I hate the animation I hate the supporting characters I hate everybody on this goddamn piece of crap

Ah, a show that is very nice indeed. Has all that a show could want, comedy, family oriented...stuff... Though, finding the show on TV is basically impossible now with the addition of the whole Jetix block (I myself haven't seen it, but have heard of it) replacing this show and a few others. You wont find it on DVD either though, as the series hasn't even been around to being produced for DVD, whether Disney wants to or not.Basically, if you are a fan of the series, you can wait for it to come to DVD, but me, if it does, it does, if it doesn't, it doesn't, simple as that really. I'm not worried one bit, however, it was nice to have it on when it was on.My rating for this show is...an average one, probably.... 6/10 (SpongeBob out does this series either way)

This is one of the worst cartoons, let alone tv shows, in existence. I thought the 1996 piece of dog crap that came before was bad enough, but this is pure torture. The huge cast of dalmatians is taken out of the picture, including the parents, Pongo and Perdita, and in the lead we have: Lucky, the only puppy who appeared in both the excellent animated film and the horrible live action film, Rolly, who also appeared in the animated flick, Cadpig, a character who didn't appear in either Disney film, but was featured in the original novel, and...... Spot the chicken. A $$^$#@^%%$^ CHICKEN!!!???? WHAT WAS DISNEY THINKING!? Spot is one of the stupidest characters in Disney's existence, a character who is entirely worthless and adds nothing to the series. Even worse, the other three characters, as well as Cruella, Jasper, and Horace, are horribly one-dimensional, lacking any sort of real personality that makes you care for them, unlike so many of Disney's other shows. Add in really bad animation, as well as a bad music track, and you have Disney's worse cartoon series ever(with the exception of Teacher's Pet and Lloyd in Space).BOTTOM LINE: This puppy really needed to be put to sleep, and I'd administer the fatal shot myself.

Hey, I like it a lot!As a kid, I grew up with the original animated 1961 movie and I liked it plenty. I also paid for the 1996 live-action movie (with Glenn Close as the diabolical Cruella DeVil) and I own the DVD of "101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure". I've enjoyed them all. The only "Dalmatians" film I haven't seen (thus far) is "102 Dalmatians". (would anyone tip me off if it's any good? Or should I just not bother?)However, my personal favorite "101D" medium is Disney's "101 Dalmatians: the Series". It combines many themes of the existing material (Dodie Smith book, 1961 and 1996 movies). But still does its own things, too.Our main pups include brave Lucky, who gets a strong personality mirroring his character in the book, lovable Rolly, the gourmand of the pups, and sweet little Cadpig, who is the true runt of the litter. Also there is Spot the chicken, who longs to be a dog. I find them all extremely amiable and enjoyable to watch. They are usually foiling Cruella's schemes for their land, or outwitting Lt. Pug (I'll get to him later), or sneaking into Grutely, or...just having fun, making a very likable show.I also like the majority of the other characters. There's Tripod, the resident athlete dalmatian pup, he has only has three legs and is a positive "handicapped" character. Patch is designed after his character in the book (he's supposed to be large). Pongo and Perdy are much like their characters in the original animated movie. Lucky's nemesis Mooch the Mutt is like all the jerks you knew in school. Two-Tone is really cute (she even has a pierced ear). Roger and Anita are written like their characters in the live-action movie, they were much more involving in that film. Of course, Cruella DeVil is now their neighbor, constantly scheming to take over Dearly Farm. Even Cruella can now have funny moments. The one-shot characters are also charming and likable (a popular example is Lucky's friend Blaze the German Shepard pup from "Dog's Best Friend"). The only character I just don't like is Lt. Pug. He feels rather tacked on, and the show never benefits from him: just a weak link.I personally like the modern theme (I really just don't need a "That '60s Show"), and the American setting (evidence is through American flags in many places, cars driving on the right-hand side of the road, American Southerners, etc). It makes the characters more relatable, and the little truths the main pups discover in their lives lend a Simpson-esque feel. The focus on these modern-day puppies reminds me of "Tiny Toon Adventures" (another show I loved and still love. ^_^)So, yes, I love this show. I believe it is better than the movies. It's just too good. Giving this show a chance on Toon Disney, I'm glad I took the time to see it. If the guys at Disney are listening, I'd just love to see more of this show. I'll recommend it to anyone. When the good points can override the flaws easily, and can even outdo a favorite film from my childhood, how can I refuse? Of course, you can't go wrong with so many cute puppies.It receives an enthusiastic 101/10.
