Does the dog die?

Kevin Spencer
TV Show • 1998 • Animation
ReportKevin Spencer is an in-your-face-funny, adult oriented, animated comedy. It chronicles the wacky adventures of the massively eccentric Spencer family as seen through the eyes of their teenage son, Kevin, an oddly astute and likable sociopath-in-the-making. Part satire, part social commentary, but mostly just fun and funny, the stories are as surprising and unpredictable as they are hysterical.

The whole show is centered around mental illness to the point where it's unavoidable; the eponymous protagonist is described as an alcoholic chain-smoking sociopath, his entire family is explicitly shown to share similar symptoms, and some reoccuring characters have various disorders (ex. one character has DID, etc.).

Thanks to Kevin Spencer being released in the 90s, it's not surprising that the show's portrayal of DID is very, very poor. A canon system in the series, Pete, is horribly misrepresented and is referred to with ableist and/or outdated language (members being referred to as personalities, etc.), and all members are often referred to with the body's legal name, even when their names are given. The system's members are also shown to be abusive and harmful towards everyone as well.
