646f9e108c The escapades of the X's, a family of well trained secret agents gifted in thwarting the forces of evil, yet not so gifted in fitting into everyday life. While I've only caught this show on Nickelodeon a few times so far, I like what I see. You might wonder why it shares similarities to Nick's "My Life As A Teenage Robot." That's because "The X's" creator, Carlos Ramos, also worked on "Robot." The art direction, character design, and colors resemble those of a story taking place on the same planet as "Samurai Jack." While I do think "Samurai Jack" does a better job with plots and visual storytelling, "The X's" isn't that far behind. Not to mention the fact that cartoonist/storyboard artist Jim Smith (of Spumco's Ren & Stimpy fame, as well as Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, The Ripping Friends and Samurai Jack) is working on this series - he's only one of a FEW good men working in cartoons today.<br/><br/>When you look at the many boring (and visually unappealing) series' that studios and networks churn out these days, I'm thankful for a vibrant cartoon series like "The X's." It's like your favorite comic book come to life, and that's what a cartoon should do for its viewers - entertain them! The X's is one of the worst shows I've seen on Nickelodeon since "My Life As A Teenage Robot." It's just another stupid action cartoon with horrible animation and a good-guy/bad-guy storyline. Come on, Nickelodeon. You can do better than this! Who in their right minds would let a crummy show like this on air, anyway? It's boring, too - in my opinion. I'd rather watch reruns of "The Powerpuff girls". A lot of the new Nickelodeon Nicmktoons have been like this, too. Catscratch was pretty good, actually, but stuff like "My life as a teenage Robot" and "The X's" are almost ruining The Nickelodeon Network. I repeat - 'You can do better than this, Nickelodeon."
