    Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
    BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
    Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
    Scott_E_Mantooth The show was not perfect but lets face it there was not much time to fully develop plots and motivations between ads for candy coated frosted pops (or whatever) with the short attention spans expected on Saturday mornings. The humor was a bit dry at times and everyone took themselves very seriously but the interplay between everyone was top notch. Fillmore and Ingrid had some great lines and the it was clear from the writing and artwork that the people involved in the shows production enjoyed what they were doing. I would like to see the show released on DVD at some point...with commentaries and production notes...Yeah, I am that sort of movie/animation geek.
    atomius Now, for the most part, even the most appreciative of the talking picture and the cathode ray tube get's tired of a companies works after a while, and Disney, despite it's former grandeur, is no exception. This was a refreshing show, and it is nice to see that the company is making some fresh plots worth seeing. The animation style itself is nice and sharp and the characters are good.Cornelius Fillmore is a once delinquent now good guy working with his partner in anti-crime Ingrid Third to solve mysteries at X Middle School, a state of the art establishment that's unfortunately (though fortunately for us, the viewers), teeming with young criminals and crimes to their names.The plots are true to the 'mystery' style, but full of action. The opening credits are nice, and the overall show fairly good. I can sense a movie in the air but don't know whether that'll happen, but this is all in all a good watch.Also, i like the way that the one time rebels own lives get intertwined in the plot. This is a nice change for Disney, and i hope to see more plots that go deeper than a millimeter soon. Nine stars.
    Jenna (hayden-panettiere-ukfan) I hate detective shows, I literally can't stand watching them. But strangely, there's something cutting edge about Fillmore that drew me to watch it. It could be a number of things.The story lines? They were amazing, especially how a case that seems so simple can have so many plot twists and turns, and so many shocking answers. Even as a teenager, I don't work out who is the culprit until they work it out! Maybe the characters? Of course the best characters are Fillmore and Ingrid, but there's other characters I love, too. Namely, of course, O'Farrell. You can't help but love him! Other factors are, of course, the brilliant voice actors, especially Tara Strong. I love the voices she makes! If I could, I'd definitely make more episodes. Unfortunately, it's down to Disney, and therefore, we will lose yet another great show.
    Victor Field As well as being notable for all of its main characters being named after names and places in California (Fillmore and Third, Folsom, Vallejo), "Fillmore!" basically takes the cop show and transfers it to school even more so than "21 Jump Street" and "The Mod Squad" did - on those shows the enforcers came in from the outside, here the school is self-enforcing, with our heroes Cornelius Fillmore and Ingrid Third as a team working as part of the Safety Patrol for X Middle School, an institution for learning that seems to be crammed full of miscreants from the evidence here, from simple bullies to forgery, robbery, etc.Like "Police Squad!" and "Funky Squad," "Fillmore!" is in the mold of 1970s shows, here complete with a Quinn Martin-type gravel-voiced announcer ("Today's episode: 'Masterstroke Of Malevolence'! Act One: 'A Broken Masterpiece'!" For some reason the act titles appear on screen, but the overall episode titles never do...), bosses constantly leaping down our heroes' throats, and the kind of theme tune that cop shows today wouldn't go near. All of this just adds to the fun for adults watching, but "Fillmore!" doesn't go overboard with the grown-up references - it knows who its main audience is, and it hits it fair and square. It's a cliche, but this really is fun for all the family... I'm willing to bet that the movie version of "S.W.A.T." won't be half as good."Fillmore! I'm on it!"
