This show became a regular viewing for me and my brothers we would sit down from 4 till 5 and watch the show it was different episodes all stacked up the funniest things that happened was when Dee Dee was around usually.
It had everything, class, great writing, real life examples (A annoying little sibling or older).
The way Dexter had his accent was pretty cool like a Russian scientist and his way of handling situations with research and experiments.
The funniest episode was the pig one were Dexter try's to act like a average teenager, he joins a normal dull teenager who likes to annoy a local resident.
A great show for all,

Dexter's Laboratory is one of the funniest cartoons on the Cartoon Network. Everyday Dexter is always working in his laboratory and he every time when he is working, his sister DeeDee (who is a funny character who is sort of an airhead), bugs him and starts wrecking mostly everything and then Dexter always says this very memorable quote,"DeeDee, GET OUT OF MY LABORATORY!" and then DeeDee is so always asking what this button do? Then Dexter is like, "NO DeeDee, don't push that button! You don't even know what it does!" and then something goes wrong. Another thing I think is hilarious on Dexter's Laboratory is The Justice Friends segments those are so funny! With Major Glory spoofing Captain America, Valhallan spoofing The Silver Surfer and The Inbragable Krunk spoofing The Incredible Hulk of course! I like the introduction to the Justice Friends where the announcer says: Three of Earth's most mightiest heroes, all in one roof to face the challenge of everyday life and then they introduce the characters and so on. I also think it is funny about Dexter's Lab is that Dexter rival Mandark has this huge crush on DeeDee! I also liked Dexter's really cool inventions and I was wishing I had some cool stuff like that but I am pretty sure everyone does. Overall funny and memorable.
Perhaps cartoons are futile in two respects. The first being that the level of detail often overwhelms the target audience--think of how the Simpsons remained popular after almost 15 years. The second is that the remaining public ignores them as "childish" despite this semi-sophistication.
Dexter's Lab, at one time the best thing on CTNW, is one of those shows, perhaps the best one since Rocky and Bullwinkle. Even the crude art styles are radically similar. Sadly, it is falling out of the inventive mode and into formula.
Overall, if you taped the earlier episodes...keep them. Animation sophistication might soon become a reality.

Dexter's Lab is one of those cartoons that can be enjoyed by adults and kids. It is has a very original premise and is filled with clever jokes. At times, the series also pays homage to Star Trek, Star Wars, G.I. Joe and Anime. They even spoof popular comic super heroes from DC and Marvel. This is a must see show.
Dexter's Lab is a great cartoon of a boy and his lab and the many spoofs and pitfalls that come onto him. It's best watch when you are a bit old. The spoofs and plotlines made this show a smash. Spoofs include: Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Charlie's Angels (G.I.R.L. Squad!) and heck even Anime (Voltron). A great show for a generation.
