jeyehesohenh When people say that Danny Phantom is cool because he has ghost power, they're obsessing over genetic mutations. The plot isn't that good. In fact, the plot harshly transitions, with cheesy puns here and there. The script is very repetitive and dull. It needs more comic relief. Poor execution made the show worse than it should be. The show is just about trying to get a girlfriend and fighting ghosts. The harsh transition from the pro-log to the theme song with eerie whispering every 5 seconds and fake rap warns me to turn off my TV.

prestonwardcondra Aside from the catchy theme song, I never really cared for this cartoon very much. Too much high school drama crap and not enough action. The parents are stereotypically inept, leaving the main character of the show (Danny) to deal with all of his problems at school on his own. Being bullied frequently by the school jock (yawn) Dash is one example of this. It's just too bad I've seen this in a cartoon before.I never understand why Danny never told his parents about the accident that gave him ghost powers in the first place -- until the series finale no less.The theme song conveniently is a prologue in and of itself that sets up the viewer with what to expect from the show before watching a single episode, which is a nice touch.The characters themselves are fine but, as I mentioned previously it's something I've seen before.Crazed love interest for Danny (the Pauline girl) Check.Stereotypical jock in Dash? Check.The villains themselves are really not that great. I used to watch this show a lot back in 5th Grade and I really don't even remember one notable episode that I would care that is worth re-watching.The villains do a lot of evil laughing with what I can remember from the show. And I mean A LOT of evil laughing with nothing to back it up.Not the worst cartoon I've ever watched but, you can definitely do much, much better than this.Considering this was made by the same guy that made The Fairly Odd Parents, I was definitely disappointed by this.

final_flight26 There's a reason the (very few) people that don't enjoy the show have their reviews poorly rated on here... because their arguments just don't hold up. One of the top 5 best Nicktoons of all-time, without a doubt. Danny is a likable, witty character. He doesn't always win, and that's what makes him lovable. He deals with a messed-up family, getting bullied constantly, and his own teenage insecurities but still, in the end, remains a kind-hearted enough to focus on helping others, no matter the cost. He does slip up by trying to get revenge on bullies or making himself the Ultimate Enemy, but he learns from his mistakes and becomes more powerful by doing so, such as the pre-mature development of his Ghostly Wail superpower. That's the great part about this show--it has a moral along with being witty and smart, and he has his quirks and weak moments. One of the most three dimensional characters Nick's ever created. The only reason the ratings ever went down was because Nickelodeon moved it around and never built up hype with toys and such like they do with other shows. Wonderful, original show (how many other times half you heard of someone that can ~~~turn into a ghost/other supernatural creature and return to normal afterwards?) My two complaints are that everything works out ~~~too conveniently in the end, like someone showing up to save Danny's behind last minute or them always finding a way to erase the memories of anyone who learns of Danny's powers, and that Sam would probably be considered a poser. But it is a Nicktoon. Forever wishing it was back on the air, SSxx

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I thought this is a really awesome show! and much better than "Fairly Oddparents;" sorry but it's true. I love it and also I am interested in the occult. You know: ghosts (the key theme for this show), vampires and other ghoulish things.I like to say that the voice acting for this show is absolutely top notch (really goes the characters). My favorite ghost villains are Desiree the ghostly genie and the medieval ghosts from the episode "Beauty Marked." Also one last thing, I think Danny & Sam would make a very cute couple, even though they deny it. So fans of the occult, I highly recommended this show for all you to enjoy.
