    This has actually got to be in my top five fave cartoons. (Along with Rayman The Animated Series, Invader Zim and Time Warp Trio) It's just pure orsumness. The main character, Will, is far more developed than a lot of main characters. he isn't perfect, and he's also not "not perfect" in a stereotypical, Hannah Montanna sort of way.Also, Allyssa. She has a personality, which is rare among love interests, particularly cus most time, love interests are love interests and that's it.I just find it awesome how well scripted this show is. The only thing I don't like is Angela D'Angelo. Honestly, did a giddy twelve year old create her? She has all the qualitys of a Mary Sue and quite frankly, the show would be a lot better if Angela D'Angelo hadn't been an episode...or at least, if AD hadn't been as freaking PERFECT.Domi signing off.

    In the beginning, like everybody else, I was skeptical about this show at first. A cartoon is the last thing I would expect from Gene Simmons, but then again, the man is a merchandising juggernaut. From KISS action figures, to comics to movies, to condoms to candy, it wasn't surprising that Gene will create another KISS product, but with a twist.This show is unique because we see a different side to Gene Simmons. But this show had mixed reviews. When you first look at it, you either love it or hate it. I am one of those people who actually like this show. One of the things I first noticed is that this sitcom is original. Most sitcoms tend to lack originality as of lately, yet this show follows the lifestyle of a famous rock star while his son tried to coop up with the insanity and the unwanted attention. He is definitely a fish out of water with his tongue-wagging dad, New Age mom and spoiled sister, but he struggles to try and fit in a quiet, suburban town called Silent Springs.The show talks a lot about not judging a book by it's cover. That just because a family looks different and has different traditions, doesn't mean that they are just like everybody else. This is a lesson that we learn from the Addam's Family, and we can learn a lot from the Zillas too.The characters are interesting to look at and dare I say it, the Zillas are the wisest family I ever came across. Yes, they're different, but they're far more open-minded then other parents. They have a lot of common sense and won't force the kids to do something they don't want to be doing. Yes, they make mistakes, all families do but they're close-knit despite the mix personalities.I also want to talk about Quincy's character. Yes, he is supposed to be a gangster, but he doesn't fit the stereotype. The genre of clothes he wears are reference to hip hop and gangster rap which is part of the pop culture these kids live in. Yes, he does speak the occasional slang but he does speak English too. The clothes he wears are part of the genre so please stop accusing Quincy of being a stereotype.But this show is not perfect. Most of the stuff Gene uses in this show has been overused; a kid struggling to fit in, but there is an interesting twist to this tale. The reason why Willie wants to fit in is because he wanted to be liked for himself and not because of a famous dad. Understandable.While the animation is by the wonderful and talented, Nelvana Studios, this show is just average so it is no wander why they didn't produce anymore episodes. Mostly because it is predictable for Gene to create a cartoon series (unexpected, maybe, not predictable).

    Gene Simmons has done it again! He came up with Kiss now it's Rockzilla! I can see Gene reflected so much in him. This show is so funny! It's hilarious! When they went to the posh restaurant and Rock asked the violinist "Do you know anything by Kiss?" I almost died laughing! Crystal is the kooky wife and her voice is awesome! Willy adds that touch to the show that brings it to life and his friends are so funny! Rock zilla has the make up, tongue, howl and personality of a rock star and those of Gene Simmons. The theme song is a catchy jingle. And when Rock sings it's Gene back on stage with Kiss all over again! Gene's idea was from his son. He son is a genius! This is one of the best shows on T.V!

    This show looks. how do i define weird. I saw the preview on Nick. I just checked and found out i was right. I thought the dad resembled KISS in some way. Maybe it was the hair or the face. it does look interesting though. I may have seen one episode in Canada, but I'm not sure if this is it. This looks a little too much like Danny Phantom though. (crazy parents, embarrassed kid) I really think this show will restore nicks title. It does look like a kids show. I hope that this will also help nick clean themselves. Because of the Spongebob movie nick has a bad rep. There are only a few seclect shows that kid accualy like such as FOP DP Drake and Josh, plus those other shows. This will be the first show based on a rock star to hit nick. Cartoon Network has H Hi Puffy Ami Yumi (which also is a great show) Battle of the Bands!!!
