    It's honestly hard to say anything awful about this show, honestly I can't even say anything really all that bad. My only gripe with the show in its entirety, and this is not even the fault of the show, is its obscurity. There was honestly a part of me that was even surprised this show found its way to IMDb. I remember when I was younger, back in 2007 or 2008, flipping through the guide on my TV every night to see when I would have to sit down and watch the most recent episode of The Secret Show, but when it's timeslot was moved back to 3AM (and I was one of all of 10 kids in the country watching), it seemed to spell the end of Victor and Anita. I don't know what exactly you're doing to even stumble across this review or this page, but I honestly can't recommend this show enough, as it has at the very least a little bit for everyone. Children of younger ages will find a bit of laughter out of some gross humor, such as an episode focused on wedgies or the "World Leader" eating boogers, pre-teens will find a number of laughs from the simple absurdity or things like a "World Leader" or just some of the crazy things that happen in the show, and even some adults will pick up on parodies of classic spy movies! Even if this doesn't seem enough for you, reoccurring jokes like Professor Professor shouting "Are you still alive!?" or the various names-to-daily are things that I think can appeal to people of all ages and demographics, and how Victor and names-to-daily always seem to get the short end of the stick compared to other UZZ operatives has proved more than amusing on numerous occasions. If you ever see this show anywhere, pounce it and grab it for dear life! It's a wonderful show, and you may only get a few chances to watch it. It's been 10 years and I still haven't found another place to watch it..

    I first saw this show a few months ago after doing some channel surfing. I had no idea about this show so I decided to watch it. I have been a fan ever since. I "researched" the show for more details as to what it is about. I'm a fan of James Bond, Get Smart, The Avengers and similar shows. They have parodied these shows so well. There is no "overuse" of the parody. I guess I would say that The Secret Show is influenced by those shows. You can see bits of Get Smart or James Bond for example in the show but it is not blatant.The abundance of one liners are hard to forget which is a good thing. The dynamic between Anita and Victor especially when Victor says "Who needs a magic cape when I have my bestest buddy with me" is evidence of that. I love the fact that there is a mix of genres in this show. You have action, comedy, drama and horror. An episode from the second series regarding zombies reminded me of those B-grade horror films but done in a very light-hearted manner. I love how there are things to look out for in each episode such as the bunnies, the spider and the four digit code. There's that interaction. Because it is aimed at eight to twelve year olds there have been episodes that deal with "kid issues" such as bogies (boogers). However, the episodes have a bit of adult humour.Being a Monty Python fan and having seen "The Life of Brian" I thought the way that the grandma alien in the episode titled "Ball of Spong" spoke was very much like Brian's mother saying "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy."

    It was like a glass of water in a desert to watch this show. After years of bland animation finally something worth watching. It is a recent addition to the cartoon world, but already i would rate it on level with the best of the 000s.The main characters, and they have lots of character, are two agents working for a world order organisation, their superior and a crazy professor as well as several 'villains' or otherworldly characters.The action/comedy mix is quite good, and certainly one of the more worth while cartoons of late. The animation itself is good. Not overdone but with a nice refreshing style. Anyone with this on their TV guide should check it out.

    This show has only started recently, and already I asked my sister what she thought; she said it looked crappy! I disagree, I've watched this show ever since the first time it started and I say in my opinion: IT ROCKS! It all about a secret spy organisation (like James Bond) and it is about two spies named Victor and Anita. They go out and secretly save the world from dastardly villains. Their commander's name is unknown! He has a new secret code name every single episode WHAO! And they also have a absence minded professor to help them, his name is Professor Professor! He gives them weapons and advice to help them on their mission (like Q!). The characters are very funny and amusing, the jokes are slapstick (which is good) and animation is nicely designed and cleverly spread out. If you are living in Britain, it is on every Saturday at 9.20am on BBC 2. If you live somewhere else. Wait and see if you television station broadcast this show in your nation. Trust me! You won't be disappointed! 7/10
