mitsubishizero I grew up watching this show as a kid and I have to say it brings back good memories! It's a shame this show ended so early though at least it went out with a bang. The main character is the title character who is aspiring to be a chef. Chowder's likable and goofy to watch whether he succeeds or not. Guiding him in his quest to be a chef is his mentor Mung Daal who is sometimes uptight yet caring and understanding. Chowder also has to deal with Mung's cranky wife Truffles and Mung's irritable assistant Schnitzel.What makes the show great are the original stories, voice acting, wordplay, funny gags and fourth wall breaking at times. I should also mention the supporting characters too. Ms. Endive and her apprentice Panini who has a crush on Chowder, (much to his dismay) and Gorgonzola who is also great due to his pessimism and strong dislike of Chowder despite the latter's opposite feelings. My favorite episode is The Apprentice Games because of the gags as well as how well the characters work off each other from Mung and Endive's rivalry to Panini and Ceviche's friendship. Bottom line, I can't say enough as to how great this show is. I highly recommend it.

KeithRockwell This show isn't the best CN has ever had to offer- far from it. But it's certainly unique, and even charming. The humor's not anything special, but it's not bad, either. There are a few really memorable jokes (especially the fourth wall breaks) here and there. It's all absurd, but it's smart. You can tell that thought, and a hell of a lot of creativity, went into this show. It's not really something I'd go out of my way to see, but it's light, and pleasant enough to sit through. Definitely a good series to introduce your kids to as an alternative to all the generic kiddie comedies out there.

CookieReviewer Ah Chowder. Pretty nostalgic for me as a kid. I used to love this show. But looking back at it, It's not as great as I thought it was. Chowder is about a kid named Chowder (Nicky Jones), a chef apprentice to Mung Dall (Dwight Shlutz). By the way, what the hell is a Mung? Anyway, Mung owns a catering business with his wife Truffles (Tara Strong) and Shnitzel (John Di Maggio). Who is arguably the most memorable character in the show because he only says one word, Radda. By the way, they have crazy adventures too. ORIGINALITY!! So yeah, mediocre story here. Not much here. The animation isn't that great either. Sure, it's better than other crappy shows like Problem Solverz, but still only okay at best. And they occasionally do random kinds of animation as well. CGI, claymation, etc. And while they are pretty good, it doesn't really work well considering the jokes are the average, "act like a complete moron" kind of humor. Which is another fatal flaw. Chowder, our main protagonist, IS VERY ANNOYING. Mainly because of how stupid he acts. And his voice doesn't help at all. Mung is pretty mediocre. You don't really get to know him too much. So he's pretty ignorable. Truffles can get annoying, but I found her voice pretty funny for some odd reason. I already explained Shnizel. And the only other character left is Gazpacho. He's the comedy relief. because of how nervous he always is. But he's not really that funny. So so far, it sounds like I don't like the show. But there are good qualities to it. Like the humor can sometimes be funny, and the characters, despite being okay, are very memorable. And some episodes can have a decent message. Other than that, it's very flawed, but not a bad show.

wine_bubble_dreams This show is definitely something different. It's like this; either you love it or you hate it. I haven't spoken to many people who just like it or think it's okay.As for my friends and I, we think it's hilarious and unique. The animation style is like is nothing short of Seuss-esquire. If you watch a few episodes of the show, you'll see that there are no boundaries when it comes to character design. Chowder himself is some sort of little cat, Truffles is a little old lady, and I just can't tell what the heck Schnitzel is. Some characters are humanoid, some are animals, and sometimes even the food speaks! As for the voice acting, the kids are the highlight of the show. Nicky Jones (Chowder) is unbelievably talented for his age. I've never heard a child actor with as much individuality before! Sure, the gags can be a little crass, but it's a kid's show, a cartoon. Where else can you fit in a decent fart joke (or a pet fart) and get away with it? While some parts of the storyline seems a bit rushed at times, the overall outcome is absolutely worth watching.
