This show is unlike anything I've watched. Joe Perra is an incredible actor playing a socially awkward but good hearted man that talks and acts like hes 80. The humor is dry but not cynical. Absurd but in a subtler way than most adult swim shows, strangely informative at times about topics from rocks to rat prevention, and above all, good lord, this show just soothes your soul. I have not experienced a show like this before or felt the need to leave a review. I really hope it gets another season

This show is not only very funny, but relaxing in a way. Everyone I have shown this to loves it. The show is entertaining, and has great commentary on simple things, and this is fortified by the storyline, which makes the viewer want to keep watching as well. I will say, it is not a typical adult swim program, but it is a very calm, yet funny, show to hang out and enjoy

I very highly recommend you watch it. It is my new favorite show. This stuff is truly breaking new territory. There is nothing quite like it. I hope this show gets the recognition it deserves. True warm and fuzzy feelings in a sometimes scary world we live in

Joe Pera Talks with You is the new show I never knew I wanted so badly. I turn to Cartoon Network for entertaining short-duration shows, such as Mike Tyson Mysteries. They're blessedly brief and to the point, and I can watch them as a matter of convenience on my DVR. Joe Pera's schtick is a grandfatherly teacher who presents the various minutiae of life from a thoughtful perspective. My take is that if he weren't such a well-intentioned, sincere character he would be mostly rejected by "normal" society. But our hero manages to win the day while living comfortably between two worlds - the outside world where we meet life, and his inner world of perspectives, knowledge, and values. The overall mood of the show is calming, with "Joe Pera Reads You The Church Announcements" (S1E6) becoming surprisingly edgy. So I've seen 6 episodes so far, and have become a huge fan. Although each episode is self-contained enough that you can dive in, the episodes also present threads relating to themes and personal relationships that you can follow - not knowing some of them will make scenes in some episodes seem random. Thank you, Joe Pera, for talking with me.
