Sanjay & Craig

Sanjay and Craig is an American animated television series that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013 to July 29, 2016, for three seasons and sixty episodes. It had a poor beginning.

Plot
The series follows the exploits of the title characters, a 12-year-old Indian-American boy named Sanjay Patel, and his best friend, an anthropomorphic snake named Craig Slithers. On a promotional webpage for the show, the network explains that Sanjay and Craig's suburban hijinks require that "no one finds out that Craig can talk".

Bad Qualities
Warning: Don't put in anything about Regular Show, as it is common to compare this show’s animation to Regular Show.


 * 1) The comedy in the show consists of mostly immature-levels of either toilet or gross-out humor, mostly with jokes about either butts, farts, vomiting, or other kinds of gross-out humor.
 * 2) Uninteresting visuals.
 * 3) Racist stereotyping for Indians, especially with Sanjay's dad.
 * 4) Inappropriate names for characters, such as Mr. Noodman (sounding like "nude man") and the Dicksons (containing the word "Dick").
 * 5) Several characters are unlikable, notably Mr. Noodman, whose hatred of snakes gets rather annoying (although we learn in one episode why he hates snakes).
 * 6) The soundtrack is rather lame and annoying, with the exception of the one that plays in the intro (if you listen to it without lyrics).
 * 7) There is a disturbing episode called "Fart Baby", in which Sanjay literally becomes pregnant with a fart bubble.
 * 8) It contains twerking, which is inappropriate for a series made specifically for children.
 * 9) The intro, though catchy, has a terrible rhythm and is more of a "so bad it's good" type song, much like the show itself.
 * 10) At times, it tries too hard to appeal to children. Notably, there are some references to viral videos and YouTube.
 * 11) Though the animation is mostly decent, it does have a tendency to go off-model.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Decent animation and art style.
 * 2) The show did begin to improve in the second season, and part of the third season with less toilet and gross-out humor.
 * 3) Some characters are likable, such as Sanjay's parents, Sanjay himself and Belle.
 * 4) Some hilarious moments.
 * 5) The character designs are passable, although they, oddly enough, resemble characters from Bob's Burgers. This was because Jay Howell designed the characters for both series.
 * 6) Some episodes, including "The Giving G", "Release the Craigan", "A Tale of Two Slithers", "Trouble Dare", and the series finale "Booyah for Bollywood", were decent.
