Wow, just...wow.

The first episode was great. The first episode was called Cowman and Ratboy. Otis and Pip wanted to become superheroes and help out people. Their first real accomplishment was saving those two guys who deliver the pizza from falling off the edge of a cliff. Then, Mrs. Beady wanted to find out but wisely, Cowman's sidekick Ratboy called in some help. They were the other animals, and saved the day. In Cow's Best Friend, Otis saved Duke's life, but then, Duke wants to pay him back. Otis gets so annoyed, he is putting his life in danger on purpose. But everytime Duke comes to save Otis, it's always Otis saving Duke. Overall, I give it a solid 9.moreless

Peck can't play with fireworks why??? Was he I jsut don't know about this one! It's a good episode!! Otis.... Da let's back up, so Otis saved Duke's life and now Duke wanted to reward him. But, the rewards were boring and not cute, were they, that's brilliant to see that idea. SO now Otis is trying to get in danger so Duke can save him, and does well as of, is forced because of "ReAL" DANgER! This epsiode just speakes for it's self. And talk about the first part of this epsiode, man I jsut loveD seeing Otis and Pip fight crime. Mrs. Beady jsut neeDs to learn to not to identify superhero's without their permission. Mrs. Beady should of called the police. ASAP!!! Mrs. Beady jsut needs a lesson. CAll the police next time lady! This epsiode is OuT of character and is cute! Everyone should see it!moreless

Otis saved Duke's life in the farm

9.0

By minimew2020, Dec 03, 2007

Cow's best friends Otis saved Duke's life in the farm. This episode just proves that Barnyard is greater than Tak but only beacause Otis has nobody that turn completely into a villan like Lok, beacause he use to be a good guy but when Tak's friends w/ Jeera Lok turn evil & yells at Tak

but Duke the Dog is nothing like Lok, Duke debuted as a minor charater & always shows Otis his way that he saved his life that faithful day & hope for a bright future in Nick's domain of pure gold (if every Nick show I hate is off, that is).moreless
