Cartoon Network is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System
After watching Doug Walker's Disneycember it got me thinking. What impacted my childhood the most? What would I watch over over even as an adult? Well Cartoon Network played a big part of my childhood. And I wold watch these shows over and over until I die or can't find them anymore. So I'm gonna do short reviews of each show that aired on Cartoon Network. The good, the bad, and the underrated of what I think is the greatest television station that is still going strong.
Let's start off with Cartoon Network's first installment Dexter's Laboratory. Yeah I know that Captain Planet was first but everybody did reviews of that show already and I want to be original. So Dexter's Laboratory stars a boy named Dexter (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh) who builds a secret laboratory under his parents noses. Meanwhile when he does an experiment his sister DEE DEE (voiced by Kat Cressida) Destroys something in his lab or touch something she shouldn't have. Resulting in high-jinks and slapstick.
As Cartoon Network's attempt of a kid's show goes it's decent. It has a creative set up with some good animation and characters. The weird thing is that the demographic that watch the show. Not just kids but adults that watch the show. Not that I'm judging adults who watch the show but...really? Cause if your an adult watching this some of the stuff they do is kind of silly. Even as a kid I thought some of the stuff they do is just ridiculous. Maybe that what draws people into it. I don't know. When I watch the show I wait for Justice Friends or Dial M for Monkey. Those shows at least have compelling plot lines and not be too silly. Then again kid's shows are getting better and adults watch those shows too. So I can't complain.
If you want to check out Dexter's Lab go ahead and check it out. But there are more shows to come and more reviews to go.
