List of episodes

The first season of the British-American animated comedy television series The Amazing World of Gumball originally aired from May 3, 2011 and March 13, 2012 on Cartoon Network. Consisting of 36 episodes, the season premiered with the episode "The DVD" and concluded with the episode "The Fight". The season premiere was watched by 2.120 million viewers in the United States.

Reception

Ratings

The season premiere "The DVD" was watched by 2.120 million viewers in the United States, and received a 0.4 rating in the 18–49 demographic Nielsen household rating. Nielsen ratings are audience measurement systems that determine the audience size and composition of television programming in the United States, which means that the episode was seen by 0.8 percent of all 18- to 49-year-olds at the time of the broadcast.

Critical reception

The A.V. Club's Noel Murray graded the DVD release of the series' first 12 episodes a B+, writing that "what sets apart from the many other super-silly, semi-anarchic cartoons on cable these days is that it features such a well-developed world, where even with the eclectic character designs, there are recognizable traits and tendencies." "Z." of GeekDad gave the first volume DVD a positive review; he praised the season for having "genuine heart even as the plots themselves transition from well-worn TV tropes to all out madness." He panned the lack of extra features on the disc, but said " at least gives viewers the opportunity to experience the show's delightful theme song, ... often truncated during television broadcasts ..."

Tyler Foster of DVD Talk gave the first season a lukewarm review. In reviewing the first DVD volume, he praised the "knockout" visuals but felt the animation was "relatively simple, even when it's going exaggerated for a gag." He was weary of the morals presented in the premiere, and found the comedy throughout the volume "anemic". He criticized the lack of extra features on the disk, saying the single character gallery "was so anemic I can't even give it half a star." DVD Verdict reviewer Paul Pritchard gave the first volume 88 out of 100. He praised the season for its visuals, which he felt complemented the series' "anarchic nature". He stated that while the moral lessons aimed toward family audiences, he stated that, "in something of a twist, such lessons are completely lost on Gumball and his pals—something I personally took great delight in." However, he wrote that the lack of a selection extras was "pretty poor." Mac McEntire of the same website also applauded the season's visuals but stated "laughs are hit or miss", and that the randomness of the humor was "its biggest detriment"; he gave the second volume 75 out of 100. Nancy Basile of About.com favored "The Ghost" out of the third DVD volume; she praised the series as a "smart, fast-paced, hilarious cartoon."
