Sharkdog

This show is so devoid of any shred of personality I simply can't stand to even have it on in the background.

The entire premise of the show is about a boy having a shark/dog hybrid and all the while hiding it from the adults in his life. Which would be fine if there was anything more to it, but there really isn't any substance other than that.

One of the 2 lead characters is a boy and he has a shark that acts like a dog. That's it. That's his entire personality, he has no other character traits.

And the other lead, the sharkdog, is just a dog that likes fish and swims very well, that's all the substance you get.

Luckily my 3 year old was fed up with it too after 4 episodes, and trust me she likes EVERYTHING, so I was spared further torture.

Sharkdog is one of those cartoons that show that "it's a kids show" is not an excuse for being bad. I have no children. I watch this show by myself because I think it's good. There's only one other TV-Y show I can remember that has what this show has: continuity and buildup. There's clearly an overarching story in both seasons, and Sharkdog does have episodes that take breaks from it, but that's ok because they're not bad episodes themselves. The only episode I wouldn't rewatch is the one that centers on a very cringey joke. A lot of the characters are likable, plot points from previous episodes are relevant later on, and there's actually growth. Now as for the messages, as far as the lying to parents thing goes, it would be wrong to ignore the other side. Max just lies to stay together with his friend. He's not lying to get out of schoolwork or anything. In fact, he actually often teaches Sharkdog right from wrong. This story has a lot of heart. People deserve a show like this. One that has plenty of harmless fun but still teaches some good lessons.

My toddler is so happy when I put Sharkdog on! It's both our new favorite show.

Why are the parents so stupid and oblivious to common sense. Also encourages lying and being dishonest to family members.

Its completely refreshing to watch than most of the other kids shows. Its entertaining enough for adults to watch it, and my daughter absolutely loves sharkdog. She giggles so much when sharkdog is on the screen. It reminds me of catdog, but a 2021 version. My kids and i enjoy it.
