Ça bulle!

Im going to be honest, I last watched this show when I was a kid, so in reality, it might be worse than I remember it being. But I remember it being really good. It was a funny, silly show with likeable characters and good voice acting. I would probably give this show a lower rating if it wasn't for one thing: it made me feel actual emotions. In many other shows, when I see a couple break up, I think "well that's too bad", but in this show, they build relationships and make you think the people are perfect for each other, so when they break up, I remember having this gut-reaching feeling - a twist in my stomach. I had lunch after one of these breakup episodes and I just silently ate my lunch and stared at the table. That's how speechless I was. So all in all, I recommend this show because it'll get you hooked (pun intended) on the characters and the relationships. And it's just funny.

When I first saw the commercials for this I thought "Oh lord, they are going to follow up Phineas and Ferb with this?" My reaction changed a bit when I actually saw a few episodes, since they were actually funny. There are a lot of "huh?" moments but overall it's a step up from a lot of the junk Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are putting out there nowadays. My only vice with this show is the animation style, it looks cheaply done (the parts with the pet shop etc...) With time, I see this show growing on the people that initially hated it. It won't be as big a hit as Phineas and Ferb, but I see Fish Hooks being around for a while, especially with Hannah Montana (hopefully) ending soon.

Fish Hooks isn't a perfect show, but I like watching it. I don't mind the school related Plots since lots of TV shows have them. I think Milo, Oscar, and Bea are pretty well rounded characters bouncing off the world and people around them. The writing can get a bit stupid and the show didn't start super strong, but the show managed to be well written and entertaining all throughout. The show was originally focused more on comedy, but it became more character and story driven in later episodes, creating memorable episodes like "We've Got Fish Spirit", "Fish Prom", and "The Big Woo". The show isn't perfect, but I do like to watch it. I recommend watching this show with an open mind Abdul look more on the morality side of the show.

My Grade 9/10 (A-)

I love how simple and lighthearted but fun this show is, and I love how the jokes are actually funny and it isn't annoying unlike the other cartoons on Disney (where people just talk in high pitched voices and yelling all the time(boring)). Plus, at the end of the show you actually learn/re-learn something :P It's one of those shows that kids would like to watch and young-adults/adults would enjoy as well. The jokes are smart enough to even make 18-30 year-olds laugh.

Also, very nice animation! the way the characters move and the camera angles and techniques are nice. I like the texturing too, the mix of flat and lifelike/realistic. I honestly honestly like this show a lot, it's refreshing yet brings me back to the type of shows I liked as a kid - only better. :)

I get it, this is certainly nothing visionary but it's not that bad. I too thought it was one of the worst things created when it first aired but it has grown on me. The creators have developed the concept and the characters over time. It has become a perfectly watchable cartoon that has been put to rest before it got dragged out too long.

I agree that the characters are extremely vapid but they all have their own appeal. It's dorky, dumb and poorly executed but it makes me chuckle. It certainly could be worse. This isn't a show for the average person and I won't recommend it but if you keep your expectations low, (give the first season a miss), it might entertain you.
