Johnny Test

Certainly not a GREAT cartoon, or even a good one. But....I can't say I hated this one. I really enjoyed it as a kid. Sure the characters were stupid, the plots were unoriginal, and the animation was very mediocre. But, there was something charming about it. It's stupidity and absurdness was what made me enjoy it as a kid. It doesn't hold up too well, but there are certain moments of this show I genuinely liked. One such episode was when a beekeeper villain tried to get rid of all candy for his healthier candy bar, and at the end of the episode Johnny and his pals stopped trying to defeat him. Instead they talked it out and came to an agreement that I thought was a very satisfying conclusion to the episode. Other episodes weren't so great, but I tend to remember the better ones. The Johnny X episodes are so ridiculously dumb, highlighted by "Power Poots" and such. But BOOOYYY did I like them as a kid, and I don't really remember why exactly. It was like a crossover with all the goofy villains of the show and I genuinely liked that. The 5th episode of this saga had a pretty sad ending that choked me up as a kid, I definitely recommend seeing it for yourself as it was one of the best in the series (by best, I mean an objective 8/10. Still a dumb episode, but charming).

My review is just here to balance out the overly negative and positive ones that make up the majority. I genuinely though this show was ok. Not good, but not bad. Just ok. I can think of shows that were much MUCH worse than this one for many reasons......

I used to watch this when I was 8, and I loved it for some reason. Now when I look back at it, I don't know how and why it lasted that long. I would give it 1 star, but since it gives me good memories when I was younger, I will be generous and give it 4 more stars.

I used to watch this a lot as a kid cause it was always on. The characters are decent and the writing is okay. I have to agree that the show has its bad moments, but it's not unbearable like Teen Titans Go!

I'm surprised it lasted 6 seasons. I thought it was going to end after 3.

Don't get me wrong here but Johnny Test is not that bad. Yeah yeah, the character designs might me ugly and unappealing, especially the background characters, Johnny might so irritating, and the rest of the characters may be annoying and unlikable, they're just so lousy that it makes them likable especially Johnny. I actually like how much of Johnny can be because it just winds up being funny to me. I like how whenever someone denies his demands he makes really silly points of what might happen if his demands aren't met. I like how his dad constant grounds his children constantly, i find it so funny everytime i see him appear. I like his dog, he's always there for Johnny regardless. I like his sisters, yeah sometimes their inventions might be abstract but you gotta admit, it is pretty cool. Everybody else is just so annoying that it makes it funny. I pretty much got a guilty pleasure from this show. i like it. its actually one of my favorites. the show its not that good, it could of been better i'll admit, everything seems fine to me. the show could of had higher ratings if everything in the show wasn't executed poorly. otherwise, i like this show.

Does anyone really hate this show just because it's from Canada? Would this show be any better if it didn't seem like a rip-off of Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo/Quest, or The Powerpuff Girls if those shows didn't exist? Some people like it because this show reminds them of those shows and I have to give these people credit if they wanted to reinvent them for a new generation. I think Johnny Test is a very funny character and he's not that different from Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy's Eddy or FHFIF's Bloo so there's no reason to hate him if you don't hate them. Dukey is also cool and my mom's most favorite characters are those 2 girl scientists, Susan and Mary, who even have the same voice actors as Gilda and Rainbow Dash. Even if you think this show is bad, there are plenty of cartoons produced even worse, like Problem Solverz or Breadwinners or Newborn Cuties. This is Teletoon's wonderful combination of the crazy inventions from Dexter's Laboratory, the egotistical dumb blond male protagonist from Johnny Bravo, and the variety of supervillains to fight from The Powerpuff Girls, so it's no wonder Cartoon Network actually wanted to air this show. If you weren't around for those shows back in the 1990s, you can get what's great about them for this show! Tell me one reason why I shouldn't like this show that makes it any worse, and be specific enough about it for me to understand.
