Upon seeing some episodes on the web, I would say the show is as good as any cartoon series. I wonder why a lot of detractors say the show is copying a ridiculous talking block of cheese? Whatever those simpletons are saying, it doesn't seem to make any sense. I sometimes think most cartoon shows are presented in similar style and tone. The style of that talking cheese is probably based on some earlier shows.
The series shows the bizarre tales of a squirrel and his skunk pal. The squirrel also has a job at a grocery under a cynical supervisor.
A with every animated series, viewers can have a variety of views on a certain show. But if you're someone who adores squirrels, then this show is for you.

Hi guys. This is going to be a review of another Canadian cartoon called "Scaredy Squirrel." This show is about a squirrel named Scaredy who along with his skunk friend "Dave." Go on adventures while Scaredy works as a stacker in a supermarket. Unlike with "Almost Naked Animals" before, I've watched this in my youth. When rewatching some episodes for this review. I can safely say. That this cartoon is pretty bad, and hasn't aged well. I can also understand how people see this as a bad Spongebob ripoff.
Let's start off with the animation. Its standard bad flash animation, like with that other Canadian cartoon before. But at least it doesn't get as gross. Now lets go on to the writing. The stories are boring, unoriginal, or ripoff other stories from other cartoons. Like Scaredy meeting his hero in the episode, "Awaken the Stacker Within." But he turns out to be a fraud. Or when Scaredy gets replaced by a robot. Who turns out to be evil, in the episode "Stackinator." Most of the jokes are obnoxious. They mostly involve screaming, overused grossout jokes. Like with the Frog character burping. Or are not funny. But I did laugh a couple of times. Mostly from the bird character, Nestor. Who I'm going to talk about in my character section. The theme song is one of the worst in any cartoon. It mostly consist of Scaredy screaming everywhere.
Lets look at the characters. They are some likable characters in this show. Mainly Scaredy, and Nestor. Scaredy our main character, may at first seem like a Spongebob ripoff. From he's obsessed with stacking in a supermarket. Like how Spongebob is obsessed with cooking Krabby Patties. But he can also think things through, and act as a straight man to Dave, and the rest of his character.
Dave the skunk on the other hand. Is just a Patrick ripoff who causes Scaredy more trouble. Nestor the bird manager may seem like a Squidward ripoff. But I do feel bad for him from his mom. Who is an even bigger jerk. He probably has the funniest scenes out of all characters in the show. The rest of the characters are either just plain idiots, or jerks. Like Dave, and Nestor's mom from earlier. Sally, who has a creepy crush with Scaredy, Paddy the ferret who bullies Scaredy, and the townsfolk, who cause trouble, and can also be meanspirited to Scaredy.
So to summarize this is another bad Canadian cartoon. With bad flash animation. Unoriginal stories. Obnoxious jokes and theme song. Mainly idiotic, and meanspirited characters. But they are some positives like with some jokes being funny. As well as some likable characters like Scaredy, and Nestor. Is this a Spongebob ripoff. Kind of. It depends. While this cartoon is bad. Its better than "Almost Naked Animals. But that is not saying much. So overall I will give this a 3/10.

If you're looking for clever jokes, good animation, and solid voice acting, then you're looking in the wrong place. Scaredy Squirrel is an all-out assault on the eyes and ears,and is giving a bad name to Canadian animation, from a studio that made Beetlejuice popular,made a DK animated series that was not famous then but famous now for Expand Dong,and beat Teletoon because of the Milestones they produce over the years,is making a Spongebob Replacement that is more cruel and annoying, like your ears will explode during the theme song,and it sounds like a whaling cat screaming on your mike in the intercom. I have to at least give Pickle and Peanut credit,at least they don't have a Squidward, but in Scaredy Squirrel's Squidward is, Scaredy,I know you'd expect Nestor but nope, Scaredy Squirrel, but he's also New Spongebob for being so annoying and so enlightened that they have a legitimate reason for torturing Scaredy, He's so annoying. In Almost Naked Animals,Howie cause mischief yet some people can't do anything about it like the old Spongebob background characters *note that i don't focus on Spongebob as often as Mr Enter *i despise Mr enter for how serious he is,he's a gay pony lover,and he's a 90's kid,but Jesus, we have to torture Scaredy Squirrel due to the nauseating voice of the announcer of TDI doing his Jar Jar Binks impression. Did if forgot to mention that the voice acting is horrendous, like Dave's voice, its so mind numbing bad that it leaves a pit in my stomach,and when they scream, it sounds like a sonar sound used by an amateur YTP'r that only uses it just to tick people off.The positives are, Patrick McKenna's acting on Nestor was pretty fun to listen to, and so is Jamie Watson voicing Beverley Bigheads bimbo cousin *sorta.In my own opinion, this is the worst Nelvana Production since "the Star Wars Holiday Special", at least it will ward of intruders, but its just so awful.
This show rips off spongebob so many times.I mean come on,can't you come up with more original ideas.Most of the plots are clichéd and so are the characters. Scaredy is a rip off of spongebob, dave is a rip off of patrick ,that yellow angry bird thing(lol,angry birds reference) is a rip off of squidward,that frog girl is basically your average crazy boy obsessed girl that we have seen in many other TV shows and all the other characters have no personality whatsoever.Still, despite what I have said,this show is not that bad.Like I've said before,the animation is decent,the voice acting is also decent,the humour is sometimes dry but sometimes decent and...........that's about it.So bottom line: scaredy squirrel is just one of many mediocre cartoons that I see on TV these days.But I'll give this show credit,it's not as bad as post-season 2 johnny test and ben 10 ultimate alien.
After watching a few episodes online, I find the series (as I said in the title) cute and comical. Some haters say the show borrows a lot from Spongebob. Me, I don't think so. What aspects of this show are they looking at? In fact, I think what's in the series are things very common in most cartoon shows. It is common for characters to become hyperactive and extremely emotional on certain situations.
When I saw some stuff about the show on this website, I develop some curiosity as I'm a bit of a squirrel fan. The show centers on Scaredy Squirrel who goes on slapstick adventures with his best buddy Dave who is a skunk. Scaredy, as the name implies, is a squirrel who can easily be frightened, although he does show some daringness in a lot of cases. Besides daringness, he's also a great stacker and organizer in grocery items.
