Good Qualities
- Most of the original cast for the babies' return.
- A fair bit of surprise characters, like the return of the one-time character "Josh".
- The animation does look decent even if it's dark shaded and outdated.
- Angelica acts a bit more tolerable in this reboot.
Bad Qualities
- There is a little lack of source material:
- Stu is portrayed as a gamer rather than an inventor..
- Didi is portrayed as a blogger rather than a child psychologist.
- Lou is portrayed as an active hippie rather than a World War II veteran (Granted, not a whole lot of WWII vets are alive today, but that begs the question, why not retcon him into a Vietnam War vet?).
- Charlotte is portrayed as a politician rather than a businesswoman.
- Most infamously, Betty is now a single lesbian, while Howard is outright removed.
- This creates a plot hole as while the twins bare very little physical resemblance to Howard in neither the original or new series, they still have a resemblance to the "lesbian" Betty, despite the fact that lesbian couples cannot have biological children, and this also implies DeVille is now Betty's maiden name rather than Howard's.
- The animation while good, can sometimes be very dark, dreary and outdated looking, comparable to a Nintendo GameCube video game.
- The new cast for the adults is mediocre.
Trivia
- The show is most infamous for spawning the X (then Twitter) troll "Buttercups1121" (real name Mark Richards), who often used the show in his rants until he got arrested.
