Good Entertainment September 19, 2008
It's a shame the series didn't last long, I found it amusing and entertaining. The CG is good and stories are somewhat of a luney toons nature which caters to children with adult inuendos.
I liked it enough to buy the DVD.
 For adults only September 14, 2008
My husband and I watched this show when it was on NBC years ago and found it very funny. So when I found it on Amazon, I thought it would be great to watch it with our children, who are fans of CGI animation and movies like Toy Story and Monsters Inc. Unfortunately I had forgotten that the show was meant for adults. We watched the first and 2nd episodes before we realized we couldn't keep up with hitting the mute button to silence the foul language. The use of the bad language is completely unnecessary...the Lion father-in-law uses "bastard" way too many times for me to count. It's a shame because this could be fun for the whole family, if the language could be cleaned up a bit.
 Father Of The Pride - The Complete Series! July 18, 2008
Created by Dreamworks SKG's Jeffrey Katzenberg and produced by Dreamworks Animation, NBC's "Father of the Pride," at a cost of 1.6 million per episode was the first prime-time television show to feature film-quality CGI animation.
A smart and witty adult show disguised as typical family sitcom fare, Father of the Pride centered on a family of white lions owned by zany, CGI versions of "Masters of the Impossible" Siegfried & Roy (voiced by Julian Holloway and Dave Herman respectively).
In this hilarious spoof of the legendary duo, Siegfried & Roy are a pair of madcap performers who love their craft and their animals. So much so they've housed them in a community compound complete with modern conveniences fit for humans, which the animals behave like when Siegfried & Roy aren't present.
Sharp and edgy writing propel the episodes in this set which provide a humorous behind-the-scenes look at the off-stage antics of Siegfried & Roy (who typically make the scene to their own theme song, Michael Jackson's "Mind is the Magic") and the surburban life of performing white lions Larry ("Roseanne's" John Goodman), Sarmoti ("The Dick Van Dyke Show's" Carl Reiner), Kate ("Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Cheryl Hines) and the other animals of the compound including Larry's best friend Snack the gopher (voice of "Drumline's" Orlando Jones).
Father of the Pride - The Complete Series features all 14 episodes from the series; 3 never-before-seen episodes including the original pilot; The Lost Tale; Commentaries; Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) video; Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 English audio; Spanish, French subtitles; and is closed captioned for the hearing impaired. Not to mention immaculate picture and sound.
Guest stars include: Christina Applegate, Danny DeVito, Kelsey Grammer, Lisa Kudrow, Wendie Malick, Garry Marshall, Eddie Murphy, Andy Richter and David Spade.
The Best Animated TV Show Back in 2004 November 28, 2007
I was sitting at my home getting ready to watch a movie from DreamWorks when all of a sudden the "Father of the Pride" commercial comes up and it looked so funny I had to check it out. Soon, I order it on Netflix, I watched all of the episodes, and one word...obsesivness. I can't get over this show it is the best animated tv show I have seen when it came out in 2004. It is so funny my family can't stand it, its too funny, but not for the little kiddies. Every episode has a point and a moral and has a very funny conclusion at the end. You wont be dissapointed by it. I showed it to my friends and they love it themselves and they also couldn't get enough of it afterwards. The only things about it is it is very average and it is awkwardly animated and the voices in the show make the story feel kind of strange and more awkward without some key moments of music in it. Like John Goodman, check it out for yourselfs, but I love the gest voices in the show like Eddie Murphy, David Spade, and Lisa Kudrow very funny people. My all time favorite character is the oragotang named Roger who has self esteem issues and gets angered easily watch out for him in the episodes. Good stories and nice jokes that fit perfectlly, what more could you ask for. Buy this DVD if you are over thirteen and you are a fan of the Shrek movies and you love a good twisted and adult sense of humor. I couldn't get rid of this thing for weeks, when I finally had to give it up I immediatley wished for it for Christams and I am expecting it soon. DEFINATELLY buy this DVD you will not regret it. Trust me
great comedic show/parody of Siegrfied and Roy. September 17, 2007
This is a great parody or comedic portrayal of Siegfried and Roy. They did a wonderful job on this show, and good to see they can make fun of themselves. Too bad it only lasted a short time.
