Oh, allow me to convince you! Gravity falls is a 2 season Disney show about twins, Dipper and Mabel, spending the summer with their Great Uncle (or Grunkle) Stan in a town called Gravity Falls, Oregon. The pair spend their time working in their Grunkle's tour guide shack scamming people and other fun summer stuff. Dipper is your classic mystery lover and thinker, he quickly realizes how odd the town is as he and his sister the big-hearted twin who falls in love with the wrong people and loves glitter.

While out in the woods, Dipper comes across an advanced hiding spot. Inside a journal with a six-fingered hand mark detailing the mysteries of the town including an unnamed evil. As the saying goes, "Remember, in Gravity Falls, there's no one you can trust."

I really love this show. Just this evening I watched one of my favorite episodes with my dad. I recommend it to anyone who loves mystery and modern humor. If it helps, my friend and I live by the 5 ep. rule. If you're not into it by then, then it's not your thing. But give it 5 ep. first to win you over.
Well I am convinced! Who doesn't love glitter and humor? Thank you for the explanation, I will have to go find the episodes now.

I didn't watch the entire series but I did get a few episodes in. If only I have the time, I'd definitely watch it all over again completely. You can really tell that it's one of the really good shows that are underrated.

It was such a great show, it's kind of like a 80s family film with how kids can enjoy it while also having really dark elements within the stories.

As Gravity Falls has not been renewed for a third season by Disney, there is no official release date for its premiere. Whilst highly unlikely at this point, if the series was picked up again by Disney then we would expect season 3 to premiere at some point in late-2021

It is revealed in one of the episodes that Dipper has a crush on Wendy. While he knows in his heart that he will never really be Wendy's boyfriend, that does not stop him from doing everything in his power to please her. In another episode it is revealed that he likes bubblegum pop music.

Great show! I remember when it first got announced on Disney Channel and I was suoer excited to see it. I've always loved mistery so it seemed perfect. When it came out it didn't disappoint and I just wish they would have made more seasons. There were still so many things they could have done.

Such an amazing show. It's a shame it only ran for 2 seasons but I love that it came in, did its thing, and then brought itself to a conclusion without overstaying its welcome. Very nice for a comfort watch
