Big City Greens is simultaneously loud and laid-back, perfectly in line with its premise. At the heart of it is a healthy family dynamic (the father-son relationship in particular stands out), but it has enough organic tension to invest in beyond the laughs. On that end, its self-aware jokes can be universally funny for kids and grown-ups, and their timing of punchlines is pretty on point. Of course, some episodes have more to them than others; but all things considered, it’s not some empty-headed cartoon, it’s got satisfying resolutions, and the songs are always a welcome treat. Ultimately, a great direction for kids’ comedy adventures to take.
