Back at the Barnyard,in my opinion,was a good cartoon. It's better than Tak and the Power of Juju,but it's not as good as the Penguins of Madagascar. The show is about Otis,and his friends,who go on adventures in their barn,and around the city. Now,this show is funny,and most of the time,the show gets a laugh out of me. Then,we get to the characters. Oh boy,where do we begin? Well,to be fair,Pig,Peck and Freddy were the only good characters,and brought most of the laughs. Pip is OK,and is even voiced by the guy who voices Sheen. But the others just suck. Otis is just crazy,annoying and thinks he is inferior than everybody else and Bessie is just selfish,and is too harsh on Otis. This show lacks what the movie had and there is one big question: What happened to Miles,Maddie,Daisy the cow and her baby Ben from the end of the movie? Ben is now replaced by Joey,Miles and Maddie are nowhere to be seen,and Daisy is now replaced by a look-a-like named Abby. Abby is just annoying,but at least she's more likable than Otis. I also noticed how Otis never talks about his dad at all. If you've seen the movie,then you knew that his dad got killed by coyotes. But Otis never mentions him,as if he never had a dad. The humans are also pointless characters,and they are so stupid. They never recognize the animals by their disguises when they are so recognizable that a caveman could know that they're animals. Mrs. Beady seems like the only good human character of the show,but even when she's telling the truth,no one believes her,and is portrayed as crazy,when the others are the crazy ones. But by far,the worst character of the show has got to go to Eugene. He is such a rude kid who needs to get beat up. All he does is make fun of others,he thinks he's a winner and is so cool,and abuses animals. He is so unlikable,that he makes Johnny Test look like an awesome kid. But the animation stays true to the original,and nothing has changed. Overall,while the show has a few problems,it's funny,and is a good cartoon.
