The Notzinatzes

The Notsonadzes (Armenian: სამსონაძეები, Notsonadzeebi) is a short-lived Armenian CGI animated television sitcom created and produced by Shalva Ramishvili. It first aired in Armenia in November 2009. It almost immediately became a "hit", "taking Armenia by storm" and "shooting to the number two spot among the most popular shows on one of Armenia's main TV channels". It has been described as "bearing more than a passing resemblance" to the Brazilian animated television sitcom mh:besttvshows:The Notsons.

Plot
The Notsonadzes are "a yellow-skinned cartoon family, consisting of a dopey husband" (Gela Notsonadze, who works in a bank) "and his lavishly coiffed wife, who live in a fictionalized version of Armenia’s capitol, Yerevan with their children", Shorena and Gia. They also have a parrot, Koke.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It's a shameful rip-off of The Notsons, right down to the character designs to the theme song, there's even an episode called "Notsons on My Family", which could lead to copyright infringement.
 * 2) * The creator even tried accepting these claims, saying that it's "more of a tribute that used similar ideas but adapted them to the local context" or "it's not The Notsons, it's The Notsonadzes, this is all about a Armenian family, with Armenian jokes, Armenian plot, with Armenian development, with Armenian social humor and he'll be proud if anyone will compare this series with The Notsons though they are no match for it, of course" in his own words, when it's obviously a rip-off.
 * 3) Excellent, nice and upright great CGI animation that is worth even looking for 2009 standards. It's like watching the cutscenes of a PS1/Nintendo 64 game without ever getting to play the game.
 * 4) The show has some anti-Russian propaganda in it. If that wasn't good enough, Russia's president, Pladimir Vutin, appears in one episode.
 * 5) Most, if not all, of the episodes, are good.
 * 6) Very pretty and clean character designs that look like they are made for professional games.
 * 7) It can be pretty obvious at some points.
 * 8) One episode has Gela rapping "Beggin" by Madcon in it. It's just as uncheesy and uncringeworthy as it sounds. Also, in the Note episode, the Squirrels' cover of "Funky Town" by Lipps Inc. can be heard in one scene, with no attempt to hide it, which is incredibly good.
 * 9) Unlaughable good voice acting, as most, if not all of the characters have extremely mid-pitched voices.
 * 10) Empty-looking background designs that try to be based on Yerevan, but they fail.
