An often very funny, absurdist take on the family sit-com. but in this case the lead is… well I guess an adolescent cat-headed space alien? His father is a self-obsessed, vaguely insane, quietly indolent diminutive Hispanic human, sort of Desi Arnez on acid (the funniest element of the show to me), and his mother the same strange 'thing' that Brak is. Not every joke works, but this is a very entertaining, surreal twist on every bad 'Leave It To Beaver' type family TV comedy. And for me it takes a big leap between season 1, which was funny and weird to seasons two and three where it attained almost Monty Python like levels of complete nonsensical, hysterically funny strangeness. In tossing out any attempt to make sense, and allowing all the rules go out the window, you end up with something you might have had if Dali and Bunuel had made a cartoon together as teenagers. (Note, I seem to be in the minority, most people prefer the earlier, lighter, less perverse version of the show).

"The Brak Show " is good .Probably not in the same level than "Aqua Teen Hunger " or "Space Ghost Coast to Coast ", but definitely it have many brilliant moments .Basically it follows the life of Zorak and Brak that have normal lives and go to the school ,living in a neighborhood on the style of the 50 'sitcoms . The humor and the animation of this show it's very much as "Aqua Teen Hunger " (and in one episode you could see Meatwad) with bizarre situations and strange characters .But it is good ,it have funny parts . Some of the songs are great ,others not very much but I like this show . The funniest character is the father of Brak . (that is a human ,nobody knows why )

This show is a LITTLE overrated in my opinion. The fact that it's not on Adult Swim anymore makes people think it's underrated, but people love this show so much, especially a reviewer at DVD Verdict.com, it's overrated. First of all, the scripts aren't that funny and are filled with corny jokes, sad since these characters all have potential and could be really hilarious including Brak's Dad. Also, the songs' randomness isn't as excited as it was on Cartoon Planet BEST CARTOON NETWORK SHOW EVER IMO.Let me be fair, there are some episodes of this comedy that are funny, such as "War Next Door" where Zorak finds his singing voice, "Hippo" where Brak lost his doll, "Time Machine" that was hilarious start to finish, and "The Eye", that was fun in its weirdness.

Brak, the borderline mentally retarded possibly gay space pirate, steps out of the shadow of Space Ghost, and into his own animated sitcom, with Zorak, an evil mantis, Brak's parents, his space pirate mom and Latino father, Thundercleese his robotic neighbor, and others. This is one of those shows you either get or you don't. It's weird, has almost no linear logic, and obscure references. But being an uber-geek I eat this crap up. The dad's hilarious rants, Brak's stupidity, Zorak's evilness. I just can't get enough. This volume 1 DVD collects the first 14 episodes, so about a season and a half more or less. So hopefully Volume 2 will be out soon to complete the series.My Grade: B+ DVD Extras: Disc 1) Commentaries on "Goldfish" (with Brak, and a second one with Brak and Kim, owner of a fan-site), "War Next Store"(with Directors Jim Fortier & Pete smith, and Voice of Brak, Andy Marrow), "Bawkbogawk" (less of a commentary then a weird re-imagining that doesn't have ANYthing to do with the episode), also Brak sings the menu options on ever page with different songs sung in the tune of other popular songs.Disc 2) 3 Adult swim news bumpers; 18 minutes of Brak segments on Space ghost: Coast to Cast; and highlights of "Brak presents the Brak Show starring Brak" episodes 1 & 2 3 Easter Eggs: in the first episode selection menu click on the egg picture for Brak and his dad singing the Fight song; in the second episode selection menu click on the egg picture for Zorak singing a song; on the first Lanquage menu click on the egg for footage of Andy Marrow doing voice-work
