I grew up watching this show as a kid and I have to say it brings back good memories! It's a shame this show ended so early though at least it went out with a bang. The main character is the title character who is aspiring to be a chef. Chowder's likable and goofy to watch whether he succeeds or not. Guiding him in his quest to be a chef is his mentor Mung Daal who is sometimes uptight yet caring and understanding. Chowder also has to deal with Mung's cranky wife Truffles and Mung's irritable assistant Schnitzel.What makes the show great are the original stories, voice acting, wordplay, funny gags and fourth wall breaking at times. I should also mention the supporting characters too. Ms. Endive and her apprentice Panini who has a crush on Chowder, (much to his dismay) and Gorgonzola who is also great due to his pessimism and strong dislike of Chowder despite the latter's opposite feelings. My favorite episode is The Apprentice Games because of the gags as well as how well the characters work off each other from Mung and Endive's rivalry to Panini and Ceviche's friendship. Bottom line, I can't say enough as to how great this show is. I highly recommend it.

This show isn't the best CN has ever had to offer- far from it. But it's certainly unique, and even charming. The humor's not anything special, but it's not bad, either. There are a few really memorable jokes (especially the fourth wall breaks) here and there. It's all absurd, but it's smart. You can tell that thought, and a hell of a lot of creativity, went into this show. It's not really something I'd go out of my way to see, but it's light, and pleasant enough to sit through. Definitely a good series to introduce your kids to as an alternative to all the generic kiddie comedies out there.

Chowder is a funny show, with humor at every turn, but does it have too much humor??? Cartoon Network has have such humor shows before, most known being Ed Edd N Eddy, and Chowder and its sibling show Flapjack are following in its footsteps Chowder is sort of creepy and disturbing at times, and lacks the exact humor that got you watching Ed Edd N Eddy, but its dangerous humor levels is less severe than Flapjack So while it won't be the next Ben 10 or Ed Edd N Eddy or Lazlo, Chowder is helping CN from falling into the toon garbage pile. The positive characters would be Chowder, Snitzel and Truffles, but Mung Daal, Endive and Chesnut weaken its humor with creepyness. But Gazpacho is somewhere in between

I remember missing this show when the first episode came on. I thought "No big deal, It's probably not that good." Don't make that assumption! I got a call from my friend telling me that it was pretty good, so I watched it. It is now one of the only things I watch on television, and I never grow tired on the jokes and over-all absurdities of the show. I also am a big fan of the voices, including the kids, and, of course, Dana Snyder of Aqua teen and Venture Brothers and John Dimaggio of Futurama and Gears of war! All I can say is, I'm a fifteen year old (I act older) who watches many adult shows, and this beats them all out! Watch it. You'll love it if you know what your getting into. The only thing I would have done differently is more references, and I'd probably screw it up or make it no longer for kids! ~Ciao~ Andrew V.
