    So many people hated this show. I wish people gave it a chance. There are many reasons why the show flopped. I'll give my review and maybe it will answer a few things. First- I love gay subculture, specially the bear culture. So having an animated show about a gay bear was awesome! Then, I don't mind Rap- but not immersed too much into the lingo at all or even recent people. Hey I listened to Eminem and Insane Clown Posse- what do I know about Rap and Hip-hop? Nothing. So maybe I'm coming from the demographic this show is meant to be for- Gay people who sort of like rap. I have no clue. I loved this show the first time it aired. However I knew a few of the jokes they where trying way too hard. The animation was hot- damn they made Chozen sexy as hell. I can see that it was meant to be a satire on rap/ hip-hop culture by using a WHITE, GAY, maybe even Jewish/Italian guy doing rap. The show was trying too hard to be offensive in some parts- but it really did have a heart. Somewhere, it had a nice message but it never got time to really truly develop it's characters and when it just got good. Bam, cancelled. I personally give this show 8 out of 10 because of it's effort. Sometimes it hits the mark... other times it doesn't. But I loved it!

    I swear this cast of characters reminds me of my younger life. I do have to make one correction, someone posted that when Chozen went to prison, he became gay...that is not TRUE...I just read the interview with the creator of this show....Chozen was already Gay before he went in Prison... That may explain why he came out of prison and was able to adjust to the outside world again....Back to the cast of characters....I have so many stories in my life I only hope I can send to the creator...They need to bring Troy back into the show...I think Troy should make some prison visits while Chozen is locked up, the reasons for him to be back in prison instead of county jail,...that is if that is where he is going....Chozen violated his parole..on all kinds of levels...I have so many stories visiting my ex- partner (he passed away) in prison....lol..ha..some funny stuff...Anyways, the Characters reminds me of living in SF...Ricky, mission Street..in the mission district..Latino district.....Crisco...Fillmore, and Bay View Hunters Point..heavy African American District.....The sister....Polk Street, and Troy as we all know..reminds us of the Castro District....lol..ha...The stories I would love to share....I hope season two is just as funny as season one...I love this Character and story line. I also notice the creator is from LA West Coast so we both share the same age and demographics of being in the West Coast....I love it....

    On paper, this reads like a show that should be funny. There are some seriously talented actors and comedians on the cast, it is made by the same people that made Archer, an extremely funny show, and the premise seems like one that should provide laughs. The show falls flat, however.Chozen never reaches it's potential. The writers go after the obvious jokes, the ones that are usually about anatomy, body function, race, sex, or stereotypes. These may be funny to a really young male teen demographic, but that's it. I'm fine with dirty jokes, when they're funny, but most of the jokes in Chozen feel so dumbed down that they constantly miss.The voice acting is also hit or miss. While Nick Swardson, Danny McBride, and Hannibal Buress tone down their comedic voices, Bobby Moynihan yells his lines the whole show. It really is hard to listen to it.I really tried to like this show, but I don't think I can watch it anymore. I was holding out hope that the first few episodes would get the lame dick jokes out of the way, but they didn't. I can't figure out the target audience for this show, and I feel like the writers don't really know either.So, save yourself some time and skip this one. That is, unless you are a connoisseur of fine dick, rape, anal sex, racial stereotypes, misogyny, etc... "jokes." By "jokes", I mean grade school level lines delivered by someone screaming them at you.

    Hilarious. I don't think they advertise this show enough, but the plot and episodes so far have been too funny! I hope it doesn't get canceled and it gets more exposure!It's basically a story about an up and coming rapper (if you want to call him that)who gets out of jail after his friend sets him up with drugs. While in jail, the friend blows up to be this big time rapper and leaves Chozen in jail to take the wrap. When Chozen gets out his plan is to take Phantasm (his ex-friend) and become the next new hot rapper on the scene. Oh and while in jail Chozen becomes a homosexual, so he is a 'Hardcore Gay Rapper'! Like I said....Hilarious!
