I love animation and humor, and this show does it so well and so interestingly. I love this show and its plots, its humor, its characters, its art-style and just the way the show is managed and written.
Honestly, this is by-far one of the best shows of all time and I would really recommend it. I really don't care about the haters of the show, saying that its "bad" or that "its so boring" or that "It doesn't deserve its place among of the legendary cartoon, it DOES INDEED deserve its spot in the hall of fame for best cartoons of all time. I will give this cartoon a 9/10. I don't plan on watching it anytime soon but rest-assured, this show is indeed INCREDIBLE.

It has been 20 years since it premiered. I have watched this show RELIGIOUSLY. What I liked about it are not only the designs in the characters and backgrounds, which reminded me of this old obscure animated film called LITTLE ORBIT AND THE SCREECHERS FROM OUTER SPACE (1979), or the pop culture references and spoofs, but I found out that Dexter had backbone. Unlike other cartoons where the character falls victim to the aggressor, where he looses, suffers and cries or uses dumb luck to get out of the mess, Dexter bounces back, he fights back, he bites back and triumphs over his aggressors! Kind of like what Flash Gordon, Superman, Captain Marvel or Buck Rogers did back in the great depression. After watching it, I felt like as if I drank a bottle or can of courage. I can take on the day without cowering. This show gave courage and boosted morale to the poor folks in need of some back bone. It worked well on me. Also, the episodes were exciting and it brightened my day! If I missed out on an episode, I can't sleep! (Metabolism, don't let me down!) So here my top 11 favorite episodes. 11. Mock 5 Direct spoof of SPEED RACER. This episode is not only well written but well researched! 10. Accents you hate A play on words on the word "accentuate" which means to make more noticeable, is deep and if anything, the big dumb bully learns the hard way not to pick on kids with funny accents. If you mess with one or three, you will mess with the whole bunch.9. Fillet of Soul A great spoof of horror films with good pop-culture references(e.g. Ghostbusters). 8. The Golden Diskette I love this cartoon, not because it is a direct spoof of WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, because of the design and the song, "Your Brain is like a Computer". It just sends me back to Memory Lane (specifically the 1980's).7. A Beard to be Feared A spoof of 70's action films and blackspoitation pictures like SHAFT. I got a kick out of the groovy 70's music because I watched and listened to the TV shows, commercials and music of the 70's. Oh yes, I get it, there is some drug reference. At first, I didn't get it, but now I got it.6. Hunger Strikes A direct spoof of the 70's TV show THE INCREDIBLE HULK with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno.5. Photo Finish A spoof of James Bond movies such as GOLDFINGER. You see him team up with an older and pretty woman, Katka and fight one, which happened to work for the villain Red Eye! The music, pacing and design is awesome. This makes up for "Sassy Come Home" did to me. Turn me off. It also gave me courage! 4. Don't Be a Hero A spoof of super heroes. Of all the things I got a kick out of this episode, was the part where Dexter finally got bitten by radioactive spider and turns into one. When the transformation kicked in, it spoofed Spidey's spider-sense from the 1970's live-action show, SPIDER-MAN with Nicholas Hammond. I laughed so hard! 3. G.I.R.L. Squad Dee Dee. Mee Mee, and Lee Lee, start keeping a look out and try to take down a neighborhood criminal. I liked it because of the 70's music. It is direct spoof of not only THE M.O.D. SQUAD and CHARLIE'S ANGELS but the line "It's crime licking time" is a spoof of "It's crime fighting time" from the 80's cartoon, "C.O.P.S." Still, I loved this episode.2. Dee Dee's Rival This is why Dee Dee needs a spin-off. We get to see the day in the life of her and her dance class. I got chills when I saw her rival, Ogla Astrinominov or Lalavava. (Thunder clap.) What was that? My friend Stanley S. Swanson, creator of the web-series "The Sexy Stretchy Show" said that he had a crush on her dance teacher. Look up that show on Youtube. 1. Last But Not Beast I loved this show. This is the episode to END the show! I loved it, because it reminded me of the 80's and my love for kaiju eiga. The song being played is awesome! Season 3 and 4 jumped the shark! I recommend that show. Who know, this might inspire people to grow up to be scientists. Rated TV-G, but it contains mild cartoon violence and peril. Not to mention some images that politically correct people will find sexual (e.g. Miss Physics, Agent Honeydew, Lisa the Babysitter or Dee Dee's Dance Teacher, Ms. Babcock). I do not think it is fit for a reboot. Just look at POWERPUFF GIRLS. It got rebooted recently and I have to say that in the words of special-effect man, Roger Dickens, "It is the right project, but in the wrong hands." So give it a watch because it is rated TV-G.

Why did Cartoon Network cancel this and replaced it with Johnny crappy Test? This show was awesome, and when this first came out, as a kid, this show kept me entertained for hours. It defined the word "Cartoon" and it is one of the best shows I've watched. This show is GOLD and there is nothing wrong with it in any way. It actually is a show and it's not the underrated crap Johnny Test has to offer. It has a great story line and it has an actual main plot. I hope Cartoon Network reincarnates this show, because Johnny Test is bombing. This show is one great show, and it lives on at Boomerang now, which is good that the show actually still plays.

This was a very entertaining animated series, being one of my favorite shows from Cartoon Network back then in the nineties.It had funny and creative plots in each chapter, and the characters were very likable and interesting. I always liked the way in which it made several homages to comic books and classic cartoons (Including old Japanese animations like "Speed Racer" and "Voltron") having plenty of comedy but also some action and even a couple of somewhat serious moments. I liked a lot the "Dial M for Monkey" and "The Justice Friends " segments from the first season.Many other cartoons that came later tried to imitate the same style from this series, but none of them were able to capture the charming essence of the original. And some of them like "Jimmy Neutron" and "Johnny Test" were simply awful.For me, the series ended with the "Ego Trip" special which gave some kind of satisfying resolution to the rivalry of the main character with his arch nemesis. All the episodes that came after "Ego Trip" were pretty bad, having bad animation and almost none of the fun of the chapters of the first and second season.Anyway, this was a pretty good cartoon from kids of all ages, and I still remember it fondly, despite the awfulness of its third and fourth season.
