The voice actors were chosen masterfully, especially in Mabel Pines. It's written in a way that can engage people of all ages without pandering to anyone. This show has that right mix of humor and adventure every family program ought to have. It looks like a dull summer for the twins, but they soon find out that there is quite a lot of strange goings on in the little town. Stan rips off gullible vacationers and townies with "supernatural" attractions and a less than stellar gift shop, overseen by man-child Soos (also voiced by Hirsch) and a down-to-earth slacker teenager Wendy (voiced by Linda Cardellini).
It features Dipper and Mabel Pines (voiced by Jason Ritter and Kristen Schaal respectively), a pair of twins, staying with their Great Uncle (or Grunkle, a term I believe needs to be used more often) Stan (voiced by show creator Alex Hirsch), a sleazy con-artist that runs a tourist trap called the Mystery Shack. Gravity Falls takes place in a remote Oregon town of the same name. Why do I make this cynical and cliché critique of the Disney Channel? Because I want to make sure every person who reads this understands how shocked and delighted I am by Gravity Falls. Said teens get a few moments of fame and the Mouse gets another few million. The Disney Channel is a place for Uncle Walt's successors to push talentless teens out in front of the world. This factory of mediocrity has churned out "gems" like The Suite Life with Zach and Cody and the unfortunately popular Hanna Montana. There are few things I hate more on television than the Disney Channel.
