Gravity Falls: One of The Best Shows Known to Man

On June 15, 2012, when nostalgia was at its highest and Disney Channel was airing great shows like Dog With A Blog, Jessie, Austin & Ally, and Lab Rats, and movies like Frenemies, Let It Shine, and Girl vs. Monster, they also released one of the best cartoons known to man called Gravity Falls. Sadly it ended on February 15, 2016 with only two seasons and 40 total episodes.  

Dipper and his twin sister Mabel moved to Gravity Falls to spend the summer with their Grunkle, Stan. We soon see that Gravity Falls is not a normal place. Our main characters try to uncover the mystery of Gravity Falls, but it's not as easy as they think. It’s fun to see how they live their lives in Gravity Falls for the summer. They go on fun and wacky adventures, and as they get closer, they see that everything is not how it seems. I like how we learn more and more about Gravity Falls with each adventure they go on. Like in the first episode, we learn that Gravity Falls is not a normal town. I don’t really like how the story ended because it felt too short to me. I feel like they could have had one more season, because there were still some mysteries left unsolved, but overall it's a great show. 

Gravity Falls is a 10/10 show that I feel like everyone should watch. If you're a theory lover you can also try and solve the show's mystery. If you enjoy the show, you can also read the books. The books go more into the lore of the show. Other shows similar to Gravity Falls that you may enjoy are: The Owl House and Amphibia. You can watch Gravity Falls on Hulu, Disney Plus, Apple TV, and on Disney XD.
