  • True the show ain't the best and it has a lot of flaws, but the creativity behind it is amazing.

    I used to like ChalkZone when I was a kid. Now that I watched it again, it ain't as good as I remembered it. I have to admit I get bored on some of the episodes, the animation ain't that top notch, I don't like the characters that much at all, and the humor is slightly lacking but what made me like it as a kid is the same reason I still find it a decent enough cartoon: The universe of ChalkZone itself. If you used to watch this as a kid, do you remember the moments where you went what if ChalkZone was real, what if this piece of chalk I am holding is magical and stuff like that. Basically even with it's flaws, the universe itself makes it a good show for kids to watch.
  • i cant stand the fact that this show has such low reviews

    "Superb"
    in my opinion, it's one of the best cartoons. it's creative, unique, has a different sense of humor, and it's relatable. rudy isn't an extraordinary boy, he's a normal kid who has happened to find this chalk, and it doesn't automatically make his life better - it's not unrealistic and it makes you believe perhaps chalkzone or other worlds are out there. the songs are well-written, the acting is superb. i don't see what you could hate.
  • The premise is great. So it's a good show right? Well no it isn't.

    "Terrible"
    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.
  • This is a good old show from nickelodeon.

    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.



    My rating: 8.0

  • I hate giving shows bad ratings, but I must say that I'm glad that this was cancled. I didn't like it at all.

    "Poor"
    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.
  • I would rather take the chalk than anything else these days!

    "Mediocre"
    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.
  • People hate this? How many shows that involve chalk have you heard of before?

    "Great"
    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 8.5
  • Cute show. Not as big as a fan anymore, but I like it.

    "Fair"
    I remember when I was five years old tuning into the premier. I was so happy about it, and I even had a little crush on Snap for some reason (I don't anymore, but he's still cute in a huggable sorta way). I don't see why everyone hates it, though. I mean, here's waht I think about what everyone detests:



    1. Penny

    Who/What/Where?: Rudy's best friend and possible girlfriend. Very brainy.

    The ranters say: They hate her. She's annoying.

    I say: They're actualy right.



    2. The music videos

    Who/What/Where?: They are music videos sung by the main trio at the end of (almost) every episode

    The ranters say: The songs are terrible

    I say: Some were good, some were awful.



    3. Snap

    Who/What/Where?: Rudy's drawing and closest friend.

    The ranters say: He has an annoying voice and is irking.

    I say: He is the cutest character in the show. And i love his voice



    This show is considered the most sugary nick show ever. No, not all Nicktonns are dark (except, ZIM, Avatar, and Danny Phantom), I mean, not every show needs to be dark and violent. Does Tommy Pickles shoot Angelica's head off? Does June make a living of making Henry's life heck? (Oh wait - she does) But Chalkzone is very lighthearted, and most of its viewers are between two to eight. Not me! I'm thirteen, outgrew this show, but I can't get rid of it. Funny, as it premiered the year after the dark and violent Invader ZIM. Kinda like dark Sailor Moon S and the following sugary season, Sailor Moon SuperS.



    Notice that there are a lot of refrences to older Nick shows. Three kids hanging out together in a boy-girl-boy thing? Sounds a lot like Doug, Patti, and Skeeter of Doug. Cute and lighthearted? Almost like Rugrats, but it didn't have any adult humor like the rugs. Does Rudy's hair and buckteeth look familiar? Think Timmy Turner from The Fairly Oddparents. Best friends with crushes on the other? How about Henry and June from kaBlam! (however in this case, Penny's actually nice).



    The reason why I'm not as big as a fan anymore is probably because I haven't seen it in a while, or that i just simply grew out of it. But I still like it. Turn off that Fanboy and Chumchum crap and watch this! Reccomended to all ages, but mostly younger kids.

    "Abysmal"
    All it is is gross. Just these two ugly 10-year-olds that eat slime, barf it out, eat brains, dribble, sneeze over people and like fungi. It once made me barf. This show is eve suckier than Johnny Bravo or The PowerPuff Girls. One day I hope this'll be cancelled. (Well, it should since it is the most disgusting carton with any sense of humor in the world).
  • I did used to like this as a little kid, and it's still interesting, but it's boring. >.

    "Good"
    It's about a kid that can enter the world of a chalkboard with magic chalk.... didn't sound as cheesy back then as it does now. I not saying it's bad it is good enough to watch, and if my little brother likes to watch the reruns then I'm pretty sure other people can. Although Snap (The little blue guy with the cape) he's was pretty cool and still is, he was the spirit of the whole show, in fact. I also believe that some of the cheesy factors of the show was actually what made it funny. Some of the adventures were very interesting and some of them were actually so weird that it was funny enough to watch.
  • Not Half bad, I mean a show about magic chalk?

    6.5
    "Fair"
    Ok, So this show used quite a bit of imagination, And it is a show I would watch when nothing else was on, im not saying its horrible, Just not exsactly my favourite :p

    Consisting of many characters such a Rudy, The main character, and the artist. Snap, One of Rudy' first creations he erased into chalk zone. Penny, one of Rudy's only friends, and many others.

    Th point of this show was that whatever was drawn on a chalkboard, and then erased, went into chalk zone. Now it is possible to go into chalk zone, But only if you have the magic chalk, Like Rudy. By drawing a hole in the chalk board, he may walk through it, into a world widely filled with characters of all sorts.

    Overall, This is an ok show.

  • I like this show. Not my favorite Nick show now, but it's still good.

    "Great"
    Chalk Zone was my first Nick show I've watched every premiere since then. It's was interesting to watch and I was my favorite. It's still one of my favorites though. I don't understand why people hate it so much.



    Story: A boy named Rudy Tabootie uses magic chalk to create a hole in a chalkboard leading to some chalk world. His friend (which is a girl, but not is girlfriend), Penny Senchez, joins him.



    Voices: I haven't watch this in a while, but I do remember the voices being pretty darn good. Rudy kind of sounds like Tommy Pickles, from All Grown Up.

    So a retard named Rudy, has a magic piece of chalk? what a bunch of crap, nick takes good shows and gives them the boot, and keeps the bad ones. Children shows today are junk. Bring back the clasics like doug or the rugrats, and ren and stimpy. And stop puting on crap.

    This show is dated, and the funny thing is that it really isn't that old. But There have been markerboards of all kinds around in both schools and businesses, and just about everywhere else. THe first time I have seen one on TV was on Murphy Brown. Now the Tollin-Robbins shows are now using markerboards, and about time. There is a new school in my town, and it has been around for more than 10 years, and it uses markerboards, and the rest of the nearby schools are doing the same thing. You can now use dry erase surfaces as wallpaper, and as paint. So now you can write on walls. The sidewalk thing is okay, but is very unlikely that a school would still have All chalkboards. And it is now impossible that anybody would have a portable chalkboard in their room and in their backpack. Those things don't exist anymore. The show was old from the beginning. And the reason why we are not using them anymore is that some people are allergic to chalk, and the chalk is so messy, it is not recommended for use around computers. The chalk smears when erased, and not being able to see what is written on them them is no reason for people to get glasses or contacts or to sit closer to the front of the room.

    chalkzone is too boring for me to watch. the plots stink, jokes are lame, & the characters are weird. also, the theme song is really annoying. why did Nick even consider making this?? no offense to any fans of Chalkzone, but i'm glad it's cancelled. Nick needs to bring back all their good shows from the 90's. what happened to shows like Rugrats, Doug, Angry Beavers, etc.? personally, i only liked 1 or 2 eps of this show before i got tired of watching it. so, if you're a fan of CZ, then i cant stop you from watching it. for anybody who hasnt seen it, then i advise you to skip it.

    Lol, I love the theme song. It sounds awesome. My friends and I were making fun of it (in a good way). It was f***ing funny. "Who's got the chalk?!" We were saying that in a weird tone. It was hard not to laugh. Back to ChalkZone. This show is pretty dang stupid. It doesn't seem like a Nick kind of show. It's too childish. It's rated Y for pete's sake. If a teenager likes this show, then they are just plain crazy. I only like the theme song. That is it. The rest of this show can go rot.

  • This was the second great animated series along with The Fairly Oddparents.

    "Great"
    I heard about this series when it aired back in March 2002 and I wasn't interested in it. I got into it better later in 2002 and early 2003. But I was very dissapointed that only 6/16 episodes aired throught that time, but still liking the series, but wishing for more episodes. I got that wish in late May 2003 when new episodes were being aired, and I was facinated. I liked some of it's new music videos during that time. And there were even more episodes in 2004, including a movie. And there was even more episodes in 2005, even though it dissapeard after that. I was amazed. I liked most of it's humor and funny moments and the way Rudy and Penny have adventures in Chalkzone with Snap. I will always keep this with me as long as I like.
  • This Show is Stupid

    "Abysmal"
    Chalkzone is one of the worst cartoons that exists. The artwork is low quality, the plots are mind-numbing, and the voice acting makes Smart People want to rip their ears off. A Dumb Kid & A Monkey Bully that are complete opposites might make an interesting show, but it is not. In fact, it is quite the opposite. After watching a few episodes, it makes the smartest wonder about those that watch this piece of crud.



    Bouncing from network to network, this series is starting to leave a trail of its own slime wherever it goes. Avoid this series if you desire your sanity and inteligence.

    How could ANYONE like this crap pile of a show?! It's boring,the humor stinks,and I could barely sit through one episode. Yep. Yet ANOTHER lackluster effort made by Nickelodeon as an attempt to cover up the fact that they cancelled all those good 90's cartoons such as Ren and Stimpy. Seriously,the humor in this show was either sucky,or not even prevalent in most episodes. The characters and backgrounds look like they were:

    • made in Flash OR:

    • done by a 2-year-old.



    This is even worse than My Life As a Teenage Robot!



    And the character names stink,too. I mean really. Bullnerd? Rudy Tabootie? Snap?!

    W..T...F?!?!



    I'm sorry,but I have nothing nice to say about this show,and that's it!

    I like this show and personally would consider it a Classic Nicktoon. I know it doesn't really fit into the categori of "Classic Nicktoon", but, well ehh moving on. First, I'll start off with the bad. It's a little boring after a while, the show premises on simple characters, and some of the skits are pointless. Also, the plots are one-dimensional. Now, the good. It is very creative and can be rather enjoyable from time to time. Some skits can get pretty cool and worth watching. I don't know why, but there's something I like about this show that makes me get up on weekends at 6:30 AM. 70/100.
  • seriously, why do people hate this show so much?

    7.9
    "Good"
    In a way, I find Chalkzone really interesting. i mean the plot's good. I think that people got a wrong view of this show. I seriously think that many people should stop hating this show. Okay, so maybe some of their plot is kinda lame and so is the music video at the end of every single episode, which i have to admit is seriously lame, but under all that it's quite a good show. So stop hating it so much. But one thing that irritates me about chalkzone is that they always give the winner a full 10. not like 9.8 or something a full ten. And Penny is plain stupid
  • Some episodes were good to watch, while others were just boring and unfunny.

    5.6
    "Mediocre"
    Some episodes were really intersting and hilarious! The voices suit their characters well and the animation isn't that bad. However, the musicals and the short 3-minute episdoes weren't really that great. It just seems to me that the writers were to lazy to write more on the longer episodes. As the series progressed, it started to get boring. With the same story repeating over and over and over again, you can expect a show like this to go downhill. I believe it got canned when it should've, because it just wasn't interesting anymore, but it sure is a lot better than some of the nicktoons that come on today.

    I HATED CHALKZONE whan I watched it!!! Like, what the hell! It's such a waste of my valuable time that it just blows my mind. Any kid with a piece of chalk could pretend to do this it doesn't make a difference if you can!!! So a kid enters a world of chalk. It's freakin retarded and I do not under any circumstances would recomend chalk zone to your kids. What if they thought they could do this?! They would draw a picture on a sidewalk, dive into the pavment, and next thing you know you're signing a check to the hospital and cleaning blood off the street!!!

    My 8th Review after "The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse"



    This cartoon was mildly interesting, but it was a bad dissapointment for most people. This show is about some 10-year boy named Rudy Tabootie, he's an artist that found magic white lighting chalk, That one day he drew a circle and he found a place called: Chalkzone. A place where all chalk drawings get erased. Rudy has a best friend at chalkzone named Snap, Along with his girlfriend thats smart, Penny Sandshez. So Barely, This show is Mildly Interesting for some artists, (Like me) that like to draw. This show will get a C-. Here's the results you're waitting for!



    Voice-Acting: B 7.0/10.0 Decent voice-acting. That's all.



    Animation D-- 4.0/10.0 The Animation was poorly made. It defienley, looked like a 2-year old made it, more like it therw up all over it. Pretty gross animation.



    Sound: B+ 7.5/10.0 Techno pop Music, with fair Sound effects matched with it.



    Grapihcs: E 3.8/10.0 Bad Grapihcs. It should have been fixed before those idiots screwed it all up.



    Dialouge: C 6.1/10.0 Decent Dialouge, with some corny scenes.



    Lasting Appeal: A- 8.0/10.0 This cartoon can be interesting and a little fun to watch, but however, some people don't like it.



    Overall: C- 6.5/10.0 This cartoon animation was poorly drawn and bad grapihcs, but it's still a little bit of fun, But, this show didn't follow up to it's potential. In the chalkzone portal, it looks like a Super Mario 64 DS Envoriment, created in it.

    Okay this show has been getting low ratings and lasted for only two years. Why? It could have gone longer. Maybe another year or two but nothing beyond that. This show doesn't suck, but at the same time, it's not great! It's kinda boring but not reaallyy boring. It wans't that bad of a show on nick. The plots did need to be thicker though. I mean it's always the same thing. Rudy enters chalk zone, something goes, wrong and he fixes it. And thats it. if this show returned they would need mcuh improvement. It would be cool if it would come back but I doubt anyone else would enjoy it.

    What kind of show is this anyways? I bet a 2 year old made this stupid show. Its about a boy name Rudy that is a dumb artist and he draws stuff to save chalkzone. A girl name Penny that he actually Rudy`s friend. A drawing name Snap that was drawn by Rudy. This show is not funny, its just boring. I really never enjoyed it, not even a little. Nothing was so good about the show. Sometimes I even feel embarrassed watching it with my parents or alone. Im telling you this show is that bad. Im glad this show only lasted for 2 years.
