Quella scimmia del mio amico

MY GYM PARTNER'S A MONKEY is an odd show featuring talking animals and a boy named Adam Lion.

Anywho, I got bored one time so I decided to go to Channel 36 which over here is Cartoon Network. And this show happened to be on and I seemed to enjoy it. It's slightly funny, but keep you watching.

I usually don't like the new shows on Cartoon Network except Camp Lazlo (only a slight bit), The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and this show. Also, I usually don't like children television shows because it's lack of cussing, violence, etc.. But this one was okay.

I recommend this for parents to show their children if they are not too old to watch it and still think children shows are funny.. like the simple bong on the head or tripping..

There are two things that go through my mind when I watch My Gym Partner's a Monkey: 1) It is a cartoon 2) Comedy. I suspect if I were living in some bizzaro cartoon universe, anything is possible i.e. my jaw dropping to the ground, and my tongue dragging on the floor.

Back to the cartoon itself. As Jake's last name is Lion; subsequently he is shifted from a human school to an animal school. Basically Charles Darwin School is used to educate young animals. Again, this scenario could be possible in a cartoon universe. Jake Spider-Monkey and Adam Lion are best friends, and they get up to all sorts of stuff. One of my favorite episodes is, when the animals from Charles Darwin School, stayed at Adam's house for the night.

For a cartoon that has been produced on the cheap, I like it, because it is funny. If you want realism, well go and watch Nat Geo, or Discovery. It is a cartoon, Jake Spider-Monkey and Adam Lion can do anything they want, ranging from a talking Spider-Monkey, to being transferred to an animal school.

Nevertheless, my Gym Partner's a Monkey, could be a metaphor for school. Looking back at my youth, there is one place that could come close to a zoo, and that is high school, as the kids are out of control, and all the students are tearing each other to bits.

I have to give the my Gym Partner's a Monkey 8/10. That theme song is going to haunt me, until the day I die.

I was a kid when this one aired and used to watch it after school. The nostalgic vocabulary for a time I wasn't alive in, some of the premises, and even the animation were some high points but a lot of the time it fell flat or a bit stale, even when I was a kid. There was some character acting and guest characters I liked quite a bit such as the nod to Samurai Jack with I Didn't, who was later renamed Larry, and recurring character, Principal Pixiefrog's dynamic with his secretary but it wasn't enough to really save the show. Fun to have on some of the time and a few catchphrases I still use to this day ("two words: soap"), but nothing more.

Too be honest I really don't have many memories the few I do have are OK. I re watched some episodes a week ago just to see if it was any good and it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. I love Tom Kenny in it but that about it. So if you're bored or want to try something new then maybe you should try this show.

The show was funny in my opinion. It was well animated, written and voice acted. The show's about a kid named Adam Lyon (Nika Futterman) who gets accidentally transferred to a school that serves animals where he befriends a spidermonkey named Jake (Tom Kenny) along with several other classmates. The way this school is set up is cool. There're pipes that Adam and Jake use to get to class and it looks fun. The jokes are funny too. There's one episode where Adam saves a magic fish named David Coppertrout who offers to grant him a wish which causes him to get harressed by everyone who wants it. The voice actors have good chemistry. I like how they play off eachother. The show ended years ago but I still have fond memories of this show. It could be gross at times but aside from that it was still enjoyable. I'd say check it out.
