If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Fish Hooks is available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus right now. 3 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Kyle Massey is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

Fish Hooks is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Fish Hooks does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. This inventive animated comedy series, set inside a giant fish tank in Bud's Pet Shop, presents high school life as seen through the eyes of three BFFs (best fish friends), Bea, Milo and Oscar. Together they experience the typical life challenges and triumphs, including friendship, dating and sports, along with more atypical situations such as giant lobster attacks and, with the use of special land suits, school field trips to the hamster cages. The series was created by children's book illustrator Noah Z. Kyle Massey and Chelsea Kane lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Across 3 seasons (2010–2014), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What keeps Fish Hooks from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Fish Hooks is a strong candidate. Viewers who responded to Back at the Barnyard will find a lot to like here too. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Kyle Massey sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Fish Hooks wrapped up in 2014, created by Noah Z. Jones — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
