Show Summary

  • Ended
The show follows an elementary school boy artist named Rudy who has a special talent: he can draw a portal on a chalkboard and enter the world dubbed appropriately ChalkZone. Once in ChalkZone, Rudy has the ability to interact with drawing that were once on chalkboards and have been erased. This show has a lot to do with the childhood theory of where drawings go after they are erased as well as teamwork to stop even the weirdest scenario.''''There is actually a Spin Off of ChalkZone! Called: 'ChalkTalk'. Which airs right before ChalkZone. (Kind of a Commercial sorta thing.)''Spin-off to Oh Yeah! Cartoons''''Show Times''ChalkZone Currently Airs: Nickelodeon''Saturdays and Sundays at 12:00''Nickelodeon 2''Saturdays at 3:00 & 3:30pm Nicktoons TV''Sundays at 9:30 pm''Mondays at 12:30 am''CBS:''Chalkzone is now on CBS! (8:00am)''''Characters Rudy Tabootie: In real life, Rudy's just a regular kid from a town called Plainsville. But Rudy's got one thing most kids don't: a magic piece of chalk that lets him enter ChalkZone, an amazing world where chalk drawings come to life. Snap: Snap is Rudy's idea of a perfect superhero AND a perfect best friend. He's totally fearless, he's as cool as he is blue, and he's always cracking people up-or cracking Bullynerd on the noggin. Penny Sanchez: Penny's totally obsessed with science, while Rudy's a dreamer and an artist. But Penny helps Rudy solve problems, and Rudy takes Penny to new places, like, you know, behind the chalkboard where drawings come to life. Oh, did we mention Rudy has a little crush on her?''''Reggie Bullnerd: Reggie's the local bully in Plainsville. As if that wasn't bad enough, his chalk-drawing alter-ego, Bullynerd, roams ChalkZone constantly, terrorizing Rudy and his posse. Fortunately, Bullynerd's not only big but also dumb, so Rudy can usually outwit (or at least out-draw) this ogre.''''Queen Rapsheeba: Queen Rapsheeba is one of the more interesting and entertaining inhabitants of the world behind the chalkboard. She's not only the best rapper in all of ChalkZone, she also has the best car show. And she holds the key to Snap's heart, of course...''''Joe Tabootie: Rudy's dad is an all-around good guy. He doesn't quite understand Rudy's obsession with drawing and wish that Rudy were more into butchering, the family business. Unfortunately for him Rudy is the kind of kid who would never get a job like that but would enjoy a more "adventurous job." Despite this, Joe still loves his son and is still proud of Rudy for being who he is.''''Mildred Tabootie: Rudy's mom is what you would describe as a whirlwind of activity. She's what you would call a bit dramatic, and sometimes she tends to blow by Rudy at 90 miles an hour when she's focusing on whatever task is at hand. Mildred works for the newspaper and spends time coming up with a Martha-Stewart-ish column in the local paper titled "Mildred Knows Best."''''Mr. Wilter: Mr. Wilter is Rudy's teacher, and he's pretty well convinced Rudy's a big time slacker. Maybe that's because during most of Mr. Wilter's extremely long, extremely boring lectures, Rudy is busy drawing. Instead of seeing Rudy for the imaginative kid he is, Mr. Wilter thinks he's wasting his time. Blocky: Blocky is Rudy's very first drawing. He's just square with hands and legs.''''Theme Song''Name: Rudy's Got The Chalk''By: Bill Burnett''Chalk! Chalk! Chalk! Chalk!

  • The premise is great. So it's a good show right? Well no it isn't.

    Chalkzone is a cartoon that sounded really good and creative, but when shown it just fails. The show is about a kid named Rudy, who one day while in detention comes across a piece of chalk that allows him to enter into another world called Chalkzone. There he meets one of his many creations named Snap and with his best friend, Penny, they go on adventures through the zone and try and keep Chalkzone a secret. Idea wise, this show had a promising future, but the show is executed in a manner that destroys the charm of this show. The characters in this show are just boring and underdeveloped. The teacher is a generic jerk who hates fun, Penny is a stereotypical smart girl who always enforces rules, Snap is annoying, the bully is just generic, and Rudy is also annoying but not as bad as Snap. As for the stories, they are actually pretty decent and has some creativity to them, but I have seen better. I never found a funny moment in this show at all, and I wasn't expecting a lot, but I never heard or saw anything that made me laugh, maybe a chuckle or snicker here and there, but nothing else. Then at the end of each episode, we are treated to a music video with the gang, and the songs are really irritating and bad. So what's the purpose of them at all? They aren't entertaining at all. This show was just a disappointment and a failure. It could have been an instant classic, but Chalkzone was marred by bad humor, terrible characters, and unnecessary music videos. There's no real value to this show at all.moreless

    Chalk zone is about a guy named rudy that has chalk to chalk zone with his friends, penny and snap. With his biggest enemy of all, bullnerd. It seems to many people that these characters are like the ones from phineas and ferb. Rudy is like phineas, except he has chalk. Snap is like ferb, except he talks much more than ferb. Penny is like isabella, because she's sweet and she has a sweet voice too. Bullnerd is like buford, except buford is more nice to phineas and ferb than bullnerd does to rudy and snap. This show is like phineas and ferb.

    This show was about a boy that draws in chalk and the things come to life in anyother world. I had quite a few issues with this show. The first one was is that no one writes in chalk anymore. This show is set in the present and in real life, no one writes in chalk. Anoter issuse I had was the animation. Animation ussualy tells what the show is about and how good it is. This show didn't have good animation at all. Everything looks like it was drawn at that last moment. I also had a few issuses with the plots of the episodes. You would think that this show is worth watching, but it isn't. Most of the plots were unorignatal and are used in every other show shown on Nick. I don't want to watch it again. Personatly, I think that this is the worst show nick ever aired. I wouldn't recomend this to anyone.moreless

    Sure, the music was annoyingly catchy, but come on...compared to that dreaded *shudders* Fanboy and Chum Chum, the show deserves credit. I enjoyed the plot for once--magic chalk? I'd like to see iCarly do that. The jokes fell on the wayside, Snap got annoying after his first appearance, and so did Penny, but can anyone, and I mean anyone, find anything to like about this show? I'm not saying it's comedy gold, but bless it's heart, it tried to be funny. In a twisted era now where funny comes from a can and a cheap gag, I'd soon have packed my bags and went to Chalkzone. Criticize me if you want, but I liked the show.moreless

    I haven't seen this show in a while, and it isn't my favorite, but still, after a few years, I don't understand why it has such low ratings! The plot of the show, in my opinion, is extremely creative, which is what the writers thought of as a possible theory to the popular question asked by kids, where do drawings go? Like I said, it isn't perfect, but it's a show that no one has thought of at all and that makes it unique and should not be left ignored. I appreciate the creators of this show! Please! Bring the show back! Make another attempt and tons of people will love it! (one reason I only gave it an 8.5moreless
