Favorite childhood TV show, but honestly episode 17 on Season 8 was supposed to be 1 hour, but in return was only 35 minutes. What a way to ruin my childhood TV show, by not playing the whole thing, after I spent over 3 dollars to get it and watch it. Going to request refund. Hence the reason behind giving only 2 stars. So disappointing.

This show is no good. The humor is bland, it's gross, and the animation flat out sucks (as is season 1 Simpsons bad in terms of animation). It's the second most overrated Nicktoon, the most overrated being Avatar. Also, everyone only likes it because of nostalgia.

Being born in the late Nineties, I loved this series growing up as a child. I prefer the early seasons before Dil Pickles and Kimi Finster came on later in the show. Dil Pickles is just plain annoying. I like Kimi Finster but find her a bit overrated. The main original cast is superb.
