Really good, give it a chance!

This show is really different. It takes place on Earth: The real one. It has flaws, it's very imperfect, with real life problems. The characters have consequences for their actions, and often times it's the basis for the episode. Not only that, but the show, like other good modern shows, isn't afraid to say that love is love with pro- LGBT messages. But the best part about the imperfect setting is how the characters take it.

Clarence, the main character, is an optimistic boy who is oblivious to the world around him. He and his friends, primarily Jeff and Sumo, do very typical kid stuff, but often leading to silly misadventures. The humor in the show is sometimes intentionally lowbrow (one episode is centered around completely gross-out humor), but often the show actually has decent jokes.

The character design, admittedly, is not supposed to be the most artistic and perfect looking. The characters look very strange, and this is often made fun of in the show (example, Jeff has a square head, which obviously leads to some jokes about his appearance).

In conclusion, Clarence is a lighthearted, silly, sometimes gross, but charming show about kids being kids.
