  • A big disappointment

    "Abysmal"
    By That_TV_Dude, Dec 26, 2011 Report Abuse
    The Mighty B! may have sounded like a good cartoon for Nickelodeon, but it just falls short. The story is about a young girl scout named Bessie Higgenbottem who wants to earn every single badge and be the greatest Honey Bee Scout ever. At first the idea sounds pretty good and it sounded somewhat similar to CN's Camp Lazlo, but where it fails is the bad humor, awful voice work, stupid ways Bessie gets her badges, and dumb plot episodes. The humor, while not the worse I have ever endured, is still bad, most of the jokes feel too childish even for kids and there are not too many funny moments at all. The voices are just terrible, everyone sounds like they sucked a bunch of helium before doing the voice work and it really sounds annoying. Try to imagine fingernails on a chalkboard while having an ice pick jammed in your ear, that's the voice work of this show. I also do not like the fact that whenever Bessie has to get a badge, the most illogical and most unbelievable thing occur and she gets the badge anyway. I know this is a cartoon but honestly come on, there are so many things that do not make sense that it hurts my brain trying to figure it out. Bessie literally can stand around, do nothing, and get her badge. I have heard of dumb luck, but this is ridiculous. The plots themselves range from borderline acceptable to just flat out stupid. For example in one episode the finger she talks to (I wish I was making that up) gets injured and so she uses her other finger and the two duel it out over who gets to be her finger to talk to. Just WTF is that?! Seriously that is so stupid and it makes no sense at all whatsoever. The Mighty B! could have been an instant classic, but it ended up being as worthless as The X's. I apologize in advance to those who like this show and I respect your opinion, but it just does not work for me. Nick needs to get its act together.moreless

    Penny is perhaps my second favorite character of the series right now, she was absolutely hilarious in " Bee Afraid " . And I didn't notice Ben in either of these episodes! Where was Ben? Nobody knows . . . ! ! ! So, this was the second out of the rumored to be twenty episodes in the Mighty B! and it was clever. I liked the first and second episode equally. The Mighty Weekend is turning out quite well, but The Mighty B! needs a new time slot for new episodes, I am barely awake at 10:30 in the morning!moreless

  • I used to love this cartoon very much but then it just went downhill when the second half of Season 2 came along in my opinion

    First of all, I don't know why some people think this cartoon is awful. If you love cute cartoons then watch "The Mighty B!" then watch this cartoon and I honestly don't know why people overexaggerate and say that this is an awful cartoon. It's still not an awful cartoon but it has just been really going downhill. I don't know why Nicktoons is airing new episodes of "The Mighty B!" instead of Nickelodeon and it really disappoints me. I've been watching the new episodes on Nicktoons and all of the episodes I have seen have been bad or okay and I've only been delivered four good episodes while Nicktoons is airing the new episodes. Season 1 was very enjoyable and the first half of Season 2 was enjoyable and then the second half of Season 2 is where this cartoon just really went downhill and I don't enjoy them as much as the Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 episodes. Season 1 still had a few stupid, bad, and annoying episodes but I enjoyed them for the most part. I love Amy Poehler voicing as Honey Bee troup scout Bessie Higgenbottom and I think she does a very good job. I also love Andy Richter as Ben Higgenbottom (Bessie's little brother). The character I really dislike is Portia because she is so mean and so annoying. The rest of the characters are likeable. Bessie's dog Happy and Bessie's best friend Penny are probably my favorite characters in this cartoon. Don't listen to the people and give this cartoon a chance but I would recommend that you watch Season 1 to the first half of Season 2 though. The first half of Season 2 stops at the episode "Rinx/ Sleepless in San Francisco" and then I started to not enjoy the second half of Season 2 but it did have maybe like four episodes I really enjoyed. I just really hope the rest of Season 2 gets better but this cartoon is going be canceled in June 2011 so there will be no third season. I think it's best that this cartoon gets canceled and doesn't have a third season because I'm worried that it will get worse. I will always look back to this cartoon by watching Season 1 though the first half of Season 2. Overall, I still love this cartoon but I only love Season 1- the first half of Season 2... it's an okay cartoon for now but I hope it goes back to being an excellent cartoon soon for me. 6.5/10moreless

  • Bessie ALWAYS wins.

    "Abysmal"
    By alexteddygan, Nov 16, 2011 Report Abuse
    When I first started watching The Mighty B!, I honestly thought the show was good. However, as time progresses, I realised the episodes were ridiculous and nonsensical.

    The show revolves around a "Honey Bee" scout named Bessie Haggenbottom, whom is very enthusiastic about being one. She hopes to achieve the rank of "The Mighty Bee" by earning all the badges. The plot is good, however, it has been dumped in recent episodes. Even if the plot wasn't dumped, it quite about a less interesting version of "Camp Lazlo".

    The major flaw is that Bessie ALWAYS wins, even if she does the wrong thing. The content of each episode always supports the fact that Bessie is doing the right thing which is very unfair to the other characters. Even in Spongebob Squarepants, Spongebob and Squidward both has an equal number of wins and loses. Thus, the best episode I've viewed so far is when Bessie's cousin came visited her.

    The designs are not that well, but the voices are quite well-matched to their personalities. However, the flaws are too much, and therefore I have to say that the show is mediocre and deserves NO second season.moreless

    I love this show. I can relate to Bessy even though I am not as socially awkward as Bessy and I am much cuter too. I also like the antagonists like Portia and Gwen. This show is so silly even though I am not a fan of the fart jokes. What is up with the fart jokes in American cartoons. Yes, I am an American and even I don't care for fart jokes because they're quite common in cartoons and comedy shows. I'm not too happy that this show doesn't get enough airtime.
    I like Spongebob but not as much as I like The Mighty B!moreless
