There are plenty of funny TV shows out there, but Gravity Falls has a special kind of humor that is very relatable and still appropriate for kids. It's goofy! There are puns galore! The jokes are reminiscent of childhood in their playful, but clever punchlines. Will definitely have you ROFL'ing. Also, it has a plethora of pop culture references!
2. The awesome sibling relationship of Mabel and Dipper

Mabel and Dipper Pines are 12 year-old twins that are thick as thieves. They are pretty different, but they don't let their differences get between them. They openly express their love for each other and always have each other's backs. They sometimes fight, but in the end, they will make sacrifices to make each other happy.
3. Weird and mysterious things!

This show is all about the strange, supernatural shenanigans that quietly go unnoticed in the sleepy town of Gravity Falls. There are plenty of mysteries to solve and conspiracies to uncover. For example, what exactly is Grunckle Stan hiding? And who wrote that journal Dipper found? Maybe you can figure it out by cracking all of the ciphers hidden at the end of each episode?? Hmmmmmmmm.
4. Accurate depictions of childhood

Mabel and Dipper are believable 12 year-olds with awkward cracking boy voices, intense crushes and all. Mabel is boy-crazy and Dipper tries his hardest to be taken seriously, but he's, like, twelve, right?

If you decide to check it out, thinking that its just a cute kid's cartoon you're watching to pass time... beware. The feelings will sneak up on you unexpectedly! When (spoiler alert!) plot things start happening, you will definitely start to feel... feel-y things, like a sudden appreciation for your own siblings. Yikes.
6. The voice acting!

Jason Ritter and Kristen Schaal are the voices of Dipper and Mabel Pines respectively, and lemme tell ya, they are spot on with the characters! Not only do the dynamic duo have awesome voice acting, but there are also a number of great voice cameos, too! Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Nick Offerman briefly star as characters, and J. K. Simmons has recently joined the cast as a recurring character for season 2!
