Hoo, hoo, hoo, ha, ha! As soon as I so much as glance at this show I'm in hysterics - IT IS SO FUNNY!!! Horrid Henry (aged about 12) has got the most hilarious and horrid voice that's, if I'm to tell a lie, so, so soothing and done by a WOMAN (Lizzie Waterworth). The things he gets up to are unbelievable and so bad they're fabulous. I know he's nasty to his little brother Perfect Peter (aged about 7) and sometimes attacks him but, to be fair to the star, he completely brings it on himself provoking his big brother and being boastful. I don't know why Horrid Henry and Moody Margaret don't see eye to eye! They're so much alike and I think when it suits them they're work quite well together - a gruesome twosome! Despite all his dirty-work to cover up his actions everything always goes wrong for Horrid Henry; The Birthday episode sees him having a party for the BIRDS and no Lazor-Zap, just when he "Gets Rich Quick" by stealing his mother's perfume and his father's tennis racket and selling Peter he ends up buying all of them back and loses the money, when he plays hookie he ends up nursing his sick mother and Peter and keeping the house clean instead of playing computer games. I suppose that's his comeuppance for being horrid! I love it when at the end of an episode his horrid plans fail and he screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - it's so funny!

Overall the show is good. But not for children below 12. The way Henry pranks his brother Peter, Margaret and every other character is fun to watch. The reason why i gave 9 is because the same show looks completely different and better in Hindi. Weeks ago, i watched same episode in both English and Hindi simultaneously. And honestly, English version wasn't funny and some dialogues weren't good. For example in Halloween episode of season 1, Henry cuts Peter's hair just for fun. Their mother comes and in English version she says, "Don't be Horrid, Henry!" with a soft voice. But in Hindi, the same dialogue is 'Thappad padega, Henry' (you're gonna get slapped Henry) with angry and loud voice. I'm not saying that Hindi>English but the English voice acting isn't that good honestly.

I actually used to like this show when was 8. I always thought Henry was horrible and his parents were decent parents.

However, looking back I feel like Henry's reason behind his behaviour is the way his parents treat him. His mother is the worst parent in this case.

For example, in one episode, Peter said "good morning" to Henry. Then Henry said "Morning" (he was saying it respectfully btw) then his mother said "Don't be Horrid Henry". Like seriously, he just said morning to Peter without being Disrespectful and his mother was being mean. Oh and another example is that in another episode, his mother forces him to be in ballet while Henry wants to be in Karate. Keep in mind he doesn't like dancing. Like just why?

As for Silly Simon (Henry's Dad), he is way better than the mother because at least he doesn't force Henry to do stuff. However, Silly Simon is also bad at time.

For example, when Henry was in the toilet, Simon said "Henry you come out of the toilet now or I'll give all your toys away and you won't have any pocket money until your 94 and a half." But despite this, he is way better than the mother.

I still like this show but his mother is just disgraceful and trust me there are videos about this as well.

I used to like this show, when I was kid but I used to watch it on CITV

No doubt this show has been faithful to the original books it's based on. It's also one of the few animated shows on Citv that's popular. Most other series on that network tend to be broadcast ed but get no attention what-so-ever. It's like there there to fill out Citv's time slot on the condition they get no popularity at all. Horrid henry is different. Probably cause It's based on a book and stuff. Heck it even got a Movie! This show's got a lot of stuff for kid's to enjoy, however there is lot of empty space there that could have been used to interest Adult viewers or viewers of my age (I'm 15). The shows cute and realistic and all however nowadays I yearn more for the surrealism of Regular Show, The Destructivness of Ed,Edd n Eddy and the politically- Incorectness of South Park.

It's a decent show for kids though and It used to be one of my childhood favourites!
