Gravity Falls

This is Grunkle Stan

This show to me is the best thing to grace planet earth. I absolutely love this show. It full of mystery, full of comedy and the characters are all lovably.The show focuses on twins Dipper and Mabel pines, going to stay with their 'Grunkle Stan' who lives in a tiny town called Gravity falls in Oregon America.
The story begins with Dipper finding a journal in the woods, filled with the weird happenings of Gravity Falls. Dipper being an intuitive 12 year old, wants to learn more about the odd town, along side with Mabel, and a few others of the main cast, they go on  adventures to discover who wrote the journals and to discover the weird and supernatural.
The show is heavily based on mystery which I love, I've always been a fan of finding out the secrets and clues in shows. So due to this show having so much mystery it was right up my street. That and its sense of humor is sublime.
Most of the characters are based of real people, or are subtle references to real people. For example Dipper and Mabel are based off Alex Hirsch's (the creator of the shows) memory of what it was like to be a child, and his memory of his sister as a child.  Grunkle Stan is also based off of Hirsch's grandfather. Which is a lovely sentimental touch to the show.

There are so many references in the show, subtle hints to what the episodes are going to entail, and secret hints to upcoming events in the show.  For example this is a scene with Mabel running after someone, during the running senescence the sentence 'Goat and a Pig' are subtly placed in the background. Its cleverly hidden and well thought through which I find amazing.

Another part to the show that really pleases me is that there are a lot of scenes and reference connecting the show Twin Peaks to Gravity Falls. The use of the red room from Twin peaks appears in Gravity Falls as a restaurant. There are similarity in the opening theme and even a club that is similar to that of one in Twin Peaks.
