    A very good show and really funny. hide « show »

    Dave the Barbarian is one of my favorite series. This is really good because I laugh every time I see it. The humor is perfect and I can't understand why this got cancelled after one season actually.

    My favorite character is Fang, she's an awesome little girl who thinks Dave got to be more like a barbarian. Candy is also very awesome and is the "girly girl" of the series. Uncle Oswidge is the funniest of the whole series. He is a magician, but he's not good on magic at all.

    The villain Chuckles is really, really funny. I would love to bring this and The Buzz on Maggie back in production.

    Very funny! hide « show »

    I do admit that at times it can be a little lame and a bit corny but this show is seriously funny. Thier was not a time that I didn't laugh. To tell you the truth I like this show way better than some of the newer cartoon on Disney(ie. Emperors New School).My fave charcter was Candy. She was pretty dumb and typical princess but that's what makes her so great. remeber singing the theme song everytime it came on. I know it's extremly lame and all but it's a very good show and I would recommend it to anyone who love to laugh.

    The story of a family of not so ordinary barbarians who get in fantastical and hysterical situations that never get old. hide « show »

    I love this show. It is one of the rarer kinds of tv shows and it will never get old. It's a shame it's no longer on and over.

    The only thing that I would complain about is the animation quality. It is very poor like Disney didn't give much time or money to the animators which is a real shame considering how good the writing is.

    The characters are great, each has their own personality and different episodes focus on different characters. The ideas in this show are very original and everything is executed so well you can't help laughing. It's also great because it doesn't matter how old you are. My 8 year old sister likes it as much as I do and I'm 20. Even my dad and older adults like it. Much fun and it never gets old. If it ever comes out on DVD I'll buy the whole series in a snap!

    it was funny but lame hide « show »

    Well, this reminds me of the flinstones except well, their barbarians which are almost like caveman. I like this show mostly because the narrator is amazingly funny and the script was written really well. But some of their plots are seriously lame and stupid. The theme song at the end is pretty funny. Not the best funny theme ive ever seen but still, it was funny.
    i really didnt mind it ended. But what i mind was the show that took over it. at 3 theres nothing much to watch on that day. how annoying
    i dont mind if this show comes back or not. seriously

    Why do I believe this to be a good show? hide « show »

    Unlike "That's So Raven" where Raven Simone is a silly teen psychic and "Hannah Montana" which also circles around the under-15 agebracket, this show has qualities that both kids and adults can enjoy. It's still on the air, though only in the wee hours of the morning (4 am EST, last time I checked).

    The story's premise is much more well-founded than many of Disney's current blunders. If you grew up with the company, you're probably at the position where you find the slapstick humor and repetitive jokes from the 50's era not-so-amusing. I think this cartoon will probably go down as the LAST truly original thing to come from the Disney Studios. They're too concerned with what's PC and what isn't, which really hinders artistic abilities.

    So if you want to watch something that is original without question, and are the type who likes making themselves feel better through laughter rather than, "I'm glad I'm not in that character's situation" (Yeah, that's you, soap-opera and TEEN DRAMA watchers) then this show is for you. If you'd rather gasp and cry and raise your adrenaline in fear for main characters and their plights than raise your oxytocin by laughing at some goofy caricatures of what barbarians definitily weren't, then you should probably go watch Hannah Montana or That's So Raven and enjoy spending your life talking about others behind your back because all people emulate what they see on TV whether they are responsible enough to admit it or not.
