Good morning friends, today I want to talk about my favourite TV show from several years ago, it's "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" I think it was one of the jewels of the golden age of Cartoon Netwok, I remember those times with great affection, especially how much my sister, my cousin (who always came to my house for holidays), my mum and I enjoyed this show. I hope you have a good time reading this review.

Buenos días amigos, hoy quiero hablarles acerca de mi programa de tv favorito de hace varios años, se trata de «Las Sombrías Aventuras de Billy y Mandy» creo que era una de las joyas de la época dorada de Cartoon Netwok, recuerdo esos tiempos con mucho cariño, sobre todo lo mucho que disfrutábamos de este programa mi hermana, mi primo (que siempre venía a mi casa a pasar vacaciones) mi mamá y yo. Espero que pasen un buen momento leyendo esta review.

Obviously The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is a cartoon full of many absurd and implausible situations, like almost all cartoons, but it had a special charm that captured my attention, and that is that it dealt with death, that was always seen as something scabrous and even taboo, as something everyday and even funny, in fact itis the main character of the show, and it always complains that nobody treats her with the respect and fear that humans used to lavish on her.

Grim fulfilled rather a function of "fairy godmother" who is obliged to satisfy the whims of a couple of spoiled children with very different personalities, Billy is stupid but very cheerful, always full of enthusiasm, while Mandy (my favourite character) despite being the same age as Billy, she is much more mature, she has a more adult vision of things but she is bitter, her phrases are foul and she almost always ends up hurting Grim or Irwin, her eternal lover (my sister and my mum usually compare me to her because of my peculiar personality haha but I think they are exaggerating).

Although I liked this character a lot, I can't deny that there was another one that, although he wasn't very recurrent, every time he appeared on screen the laughter in the audience was guaranteed, I mean Dracula, haha he was a stubborn and uncompromising old man who always made Grim angry. In fact there are two scenes of him where I couldn't contain my laughter, one is where Grim is trying to tell a story with the intention of restoring the former glory that old school monsters like The Wolfman, Dracula and Bride of Frankenstein once had, but I think the funniest scene was where Grim and Dracula got lost in the desert.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy was loaded with dark humour and social criticism, so for me that was the show's greatest charm, because even if you were laughing your head off at some of the jokes, you knew that deep down they were criticising serious issues that only adults could understand.

Las Sombrías Aventuras de Billy y Mandy estaba cargado de humor negro y críticas sociales, así que para mí allí radicaba el mayor encanto del show, porque aunque te estuvieras muriendo de risa con algunos de sus chistes, sabes que en el fondo estaban criticando temas serios que solo los adultos podían captar.

Another thing I really enjoyed as a fan of this show and of the Harry Potter saga, was precisely the parodies of this magical universe, something we could enjoy more in the Spanish version because the same voice actor in charge of doing the voice of Daniel Ridcliffe in Spanish, Victor Hugarte, was also in charge of the voice of his namesake in the parody, and this added extra points in my humble opinion.

Well friends, I think that's all I have to say about this great show, do you remember it, what are your favourite scenes and characters, I'd like to know. Thank you very much for your attention and support.

Y bien amigos, creo que eso es todo lo que tengo que decir sobre este grandioso show, ¿ustedes lo recuerdan? ¿cuáles son sus escenas y personajes favoritos? me gustaría saberlo. Muchas gracias por su atención y apoyo.
