    They got this one right (which is rare). A show that's good for the kids and the adults! Much more enjoyable then the movies, I'm waiting for a spin-off movie with just the Penguins. When I put the movie on I find myself disappointed that some of the voices for the series aren't in the movie, which I would love to see I think the series cast do a much better job then the movie voices. I'm a fan of the old Loony Toons and I rate them up there with them, and anyone that I know who likes the old Loony Toons also loves the Penguins series. I believe that is because there is humor for the kids and also humor that only an adult would get, a great combination.moreless

    "Penguins of Madagascar" is a spinoff show of the movie "Madagascar." It is about these four penguins: Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico who are in the New york Zoo who do different missions, often caused by King Julien the Lemur. This show has had its ups and downs, but the acting is quite decent. The animation is pretty good, but does need a little improvement.With the decent acting and the good plot, I would rate this show a

    Score 7.5: Good. A passable grade.moreless

  • I love Penguins!

    Based on the hit Madagascar family films, it follows the lovable penguins in the Central Park Zoo, handling missions, and avoiding the lemurs.
    All the penguins have their own unique personalities from serious and cunning (Skipper), scientific and fearful (Kowalski), lovable and optimistic (Private), or crazy and psychotic (Rico).
    The main lemur King Julien can get kind of annoying, but you'll get used to it. Maurice is loyal to Julien but is tired of his demands. Mort (the cutest thing EVAR!!!) loves King Julien more than anything else except for his feet, which he loves even more.
    There's even more characters like an otter named Marlene who thinks the Penguins commando goes way too far, and others that have interesting personalites, and sometimes cravings like peanuts and bannanas.
    Overall, this is worth watching, and is perfect to watch anytime like TUFF Puppy and Spongebob. But there's one that isn't good at anytime. Two to be exact. Coming soon!

    The Penguins of Madagascar is about 4 penguins: Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, and Private. They do these big tasks and missions and operations around the Central Park Zoo with allies and annoyances. My favourite character is Skipper because he's a great leader and also funny at the same time. I also like Kowalski because he's funny and smart, and Rico because he's psychotic and crazy. I also like Private as much as Skipper. Mr favourite episode is the episode where Mort is banned from the kingdom by King Julian and it's really funny seeing him try to get over his love of King Julian's feet. This show is my 4th favourite, next to American Dad!. This show is my favourite 3d animated series on Nickelodeon because it mixes humor and action together and you get an epic TV show. 8/10.moreless

    This is a great show and is one of the only Nickelodeon shows I like. This was a spin-off of Madagascar, which was a great movie. By the way, there is going to be a movie for this show. You should give it a try, it's worth a watch. 7/10
