I miss the 80's version it was better than the new one .Like the episode sister act, the episode it is incredibly sexiest .Eleanor moves in with Alvin and his family in which Dave starts using this poor child as his little servant girl . This is sadly done .Dave is watching his poor girl down on her hands and knees scrubbing his kitchen waiting for her to make him tea ,high fiving her while she is vacuuming his living room ,and forcing her to get Alvin to do his homework .The interaction between the adult and the girl are mostly while she is cleaning his home .He makes some dumb comment to Jeanette that the house needs another woman's touch .Does Dave even remember he is even talking to a kid ?He probably wanted someone else to clean for him .Then when the girl's want to hang out with the adult he wants them gone now that they aren't scrubbing his kitchen, he no longer has interest in wanting them around .We could have seen him and the Eleanor enjoying watching a movie together or playing a board game instead of all these scrubbing and cleaning screens .The make_over part is cute but short lived .Does it even make sense that she would be getting Alvin to do his homework since she is younger than him or she forced to do it because she is a girl.It is like when she told Brittany not to wear an outfit to school in one of the episodes .Why would she be telling an older kid what to do?Plus ,kids shouldn't have to parent siblings .It's not their job they didn't have children .They should be allowed to be children .The episodes don't always follow the plots and are sometimes rushed and the ending can be somewhat disappointing . There is an episode where they find a treasure map the story line is good at first but the ending is rushed so by the end your wishing you had just changed the channel .The writers could be doing a better job .

OK, they don't look exactly like the chipmunks I remember from my youth. They are more humanoid looking. It's jarring at first, but keep watching. Watch a few and you'll get use to it and see how great this new version is.The dialogue is witty, and hip. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are charming. When I was little I adored Theodore. Still do, but now I have an new appreciation for Simon. He's very witty and sarcastic. Love it. Of course Alvin is the mischievous one as usual. Most importantly the stories are actually good.As for the 3D animation, I say superb. I noticed the brilliant job they did with details such as shadows and texture, right down to the chipmunks hair in close-ups. I swear to god the lip movement is so good that I think I can actually read their lips. I also tend to notice the background scenery. From the boys' room, the wall pictures, and shelves, etc. Great job. I'm an adult. I watched the cartoon series as a child. I caught this one day on TV, and found myself utterly charmed by it. I think both kids and adults alike can watch this and enjoy it.

WARNING! If you haven't seen this show yet, i recommend you not watch this review, there are a few spoilers that involve the show. You have been WARNED!! Ugh!! Where do i begin whit this atrocity. Well, let's start with the characters. Alvin: My god! This guy is my least favorite character of all time! Wanna know why, because he's a bossy bitch to Theodore, a jerk for Simon, a cry baby who will never listen to Dave and an uncaring "friend" to the Chippets, and he's not even funny, and is not even close to how much i like Alvin in the live-action movies. Simon: He's the only good character in the show (in my opinion) because he's not annoying like the main character, however, i wish he wasn't tormented and humiliated by his brother. Theodore: I have nothing to say about him, except that he likes food and is a coward. Chippets: Again nothing to say about them, except that they are less annoying than the main character is, not to mention, they live in a tree dome that has everything a house has. Dave: He went from a caring dad who liked his kids, to a man that only cares about his job and girl named Judy (i don't know if she is he's girlfriend, or crush but he always hang out with her or helps her, so i think is supposed to her look like he's girlfriend). Anyway, continuing the review, let's move on to The Animation: Oh god, the animation in here is terrible, like compare this animation with the Miraculous Ladybug animation. Ladybug's animation: It has a decent character design, good color use and nice and detailed backgrounds for a superhero show. This animation: Character design that looks nothing like a chipmunk (not even another animal), huge eyes(chipmunk characters), bad colors and bad backgrounds. The plots: I don't have that much of problems with the stories the episodes tell, i just think they aren't strong, because a few plots of the episodes of this show have already been done by other shows, like having an episode were one of the characters feel that another character and this character have to spend time, so they go on a trip together, now where did you hear that plot before? In conclusion, i absolutely hate Alvinnn!!! And the chipmunks, is not worth watching and i prefer the Live-Action movies over this monstrosity, well, at least is not the worst cartoon i've ever seen, but it is the 2nd worst cartoon i've ever seen.

The show is just awful because the chipmunks are so annoying and there was an episode about Alvin farting on Simon how is that funny this is not comedy it should be called torcher instead because of the voices worst show ever i have more words garbage trash stupid and of course annoying who could enjoy something like this and something even worse they look like aliens Alvin is the most annoyingest person i have ever seen could it get any worse than that nickelodeon just try to make something better than this seriously it's so bad why did you have to renew it for a 3rd season please do not even think about renewing it for another season it also has low ratings a 5.1 and you renew it huh.
