    Chowder was such a lame cartoon. It is really overrated! I mean Really, the title character was a rip off of the Pocket Monster Munchlax! >:( He behaved like one and whenever the pink girl would go into contact with him, he would act like a coward! What a moron! Whoever made this up was really a psycho! Good to see it gone.

  • Sorry Chowder fans, I think this show is HIGHLY overrated.

    Before you thumb this review down, let me explain my reasons.

    I will admit that the art style is very good. There's a lot of creativity, such as the moving patterns in the character's clothes. Very cool. The character designs are pretty unique too. The voice acting is good as well, especially Mung Daal's.

    But the thing that really brings this show down for me is the humor. At first, I really enjoyed this show during the first couple of episodes. They were very funny, and the plots were executed well. But the more the show progressed, the more it lost it's charm. The humor started becoming boring and stale.(I'm not your boyfriend.... Overused so many times, as well as the constant 4th wall breakage). Plots started becoming more predictable. Characters were becoming boring to watch. At some point I just stopped watching altogether. It overstayed it's welcome in my opinion. However, I did watch the final episode and I enjoyed it, because it reminded me of older episodes.

    I wish the show didn't go down the line it did. It had a lot of potential, but it didn't fulfill it for me. Obviously, I don't hate it, but it just wasn't for me. Final Grade: C-moreless

    I used to love watching this show back when I was 14. Now that I'm 15 and nearly 16, I don't love it anymore. Here's my story and opinion on the show.

    I first heard about this show in early 2008 on youtube. It looked really stupid to me. I thought Chowder would have some original cartoonish voice. Then in late 2008, I decided to give the show a chance so I looked up about it on wikipedia and its episodes and thought it sounded good so I saw some episodes and youtube poops of it on the internet and then I became slightly obsessed with Chowder and loved Chowder's kid-like voice. It was hilarious, I'd laugh at it and the characters were really good. I even got to watch it early in the mornings on Saturdays through early 2009 and I'd still laugh at it. Then, my brother started making fun of me because I was watching this show so to stop him, I stopped watching the show. Yeah, I know, you'll all be like "dude, don't listen to him! It's your opinion!" but to be honest, I actually find this show pretty stupid now. The characters seem pretty annoying and I'd have to change the channel whenever it came on. And I hated having to wake up so early in the morning to watch Chowder. I was getting older and trying to sleep in which I do now. So yeah, I just stopped liking the show.

    Now, I don't totally hate this show, I'm just saying I don't like it like I used too when I was much younger. I reccomend this show for nine year olds.

    So, that's my review.moreless

    Imagine a kitchen where white tofu-like squares magically turn into fruits (or monsters) with just the well-timed whack of a club, apples with arms and legs (known as "grapples") grab onto your face, and your own food challenges you to a wrestling match! Welcome to the world of "Chowder", where every new dish is a recipie for laughs!
    Chowder is a young cat-like boy who lives in the mystical and exotic Marzipan City. He is the apprentice of the great chef Mung Daal, and one day hopes to be a great chef as well. However, the kitchen of the Mung Daal Catering Company ("You book it, we cook it!") is no ordinary kitchen. In this kitchen, food can take on a mind of its own, ingeredients are added on a flying trapeeze, and any recipe can lead to chaos, craziness, and wacky adventures!
    I really enjoyed watching this show. It's the best show Cartoon Network has had in a long time. It brought me right back to the days of "Whatever Happened to Robot Jones" and "Sheep in the Big City". With its silly slapstick humor, fun and funky background music, colorful Eastern-architecture inspired backgrounds, and its hilarious cast of characters, "Chowder" is a very fun show that I'm sure everyone will enjoy!

While it still not the best CN show during 2005-2010, I really enjoyed the humor. The characters were mainly funny and perfect. The funniest characters were Chowder (because his obession with foods), Mung Daal, Gazpacho, and probably a few others. Season 1 was the best. Seasons 2 and 3 were not as good as season 1, but I still enjoyed it. One thing that upsets me that Cartoon Network is not airing this cartoon anymore. I miss Chowder so much. I wanna see this show again. I hasn't watched the show since last year (when the show ended). I hope CN reruns this show again. I really miss it. Overall, while the show had a couple flaws, I think it was superb. 9/10moreless
