Penguins of Madagascar on Nickelodeon

Anyone here ever watch this show? I find it to be hilarious! I like Kowalski! He is like Data/Spock from Star Trek, and the way he does things is certainly what you wouldn't expect from a "smart cookie" like him!

I am such a huge fan of this show. I love how it won a Daytime Emmy for writing as I think the plots for the most part are great and I love the dialogue. Private and Kowalski are my favorite characters.

Kowalski is my favorite character besides Julien. Julien is such a hilarious character, and Rico is a very hilarious character. Did you see that one episode where Kowalski's brain became to tired of computing, and Kowalski became somewhat stupid/funny? He's like "I will hack into you (or destroy you) comp u tair" or something like that, and there's a computer that shoots fish out of a cannon or something like that? I don't like Dr. Blowhole at all! It sometimes reminds me of Tuff Puppy, and The Fairly Oddparents mixed into one show!

Oh dude! I love Blowhole! He's my favorite character played by Neil Patrick Harris. I always look forward to the Blowhole episodes.

Yea I saw that episode. Kowalski tries to make himself evem smarter and it backfires, making him really stupid. The computer is the automatic feeding machine that the zoo gets.
I'm not quite sure what my "favorite" episode is, there are just too many. But I know that very high on the list is the Scorka episode. I love Private's Sugar rush bit and just the whole episode in general.

Yeah. After I stumbled on the thing online, I couldn't stop watching it. It's a good show alright, but there's something about it that makes it addictive. I plowed through a bunch of episodes in a matter of days, and got ticked off I couldn't find any more.

This show is one of the cases where you pull the best characters out of something AND the project is still funny. A Lesson Shaggy and Scooby could learn, actually. There's also supposed to be an upcoming penguins spinoff movie, but that's pretty far down the line. I'm guessing, like Shrek, they want to have 4 Madagascar movies in the can, then they can do the Penguin's untitled solo project.

Can't wait for a Penguins movie. If they're even considering it I'm happy.

I remember seeing the previes for it when it first came out and was just not interested at all. I wasn't a big fan of the Madagascar movie so this show didn't look too appealing. Then one day I just had the tv on for noise and there wasn't anything else on. You're right DrTooth it is so addicting. I will admit there are some episodes I don't really like so I don't watch them. But there's not a lot of those.

It's gonna be a LOOOONG wait. We're only on Madagascar 3 by now.

Still, my major complaint is that they're doing 4 movies, having them only get home on the 4th. That makes the third one complete filler, and that's the problem I had with Shrek 3. I mean, the Shrek Dad angle worked, everything else didn't.

But I'm still totally going to see Madagascar 3.

Shrek 4 threw me for a loop. I kinda thought Shrek 3 had wrapped everything up nicely.
Honestly, I haven't even seen the second Madagascar yet so I can't say much on the issue.

In the old days, a show like The Penguins of Madagascar would've probably aired Saturdays on a basic network like NBC. But instead, it airs on Nickelodeon, along with the Kung Fu Panda series. And the How To Train Your Dragon series is supposed to air on Cartoon Network soon. And Dreamworks is supposed to come out with a Monsters Vs. Aliens TV series.

The second one was alright, I guess... I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first. As for Shrek, they planned for quite a few more movies. Somewhere in the ballpark of 6 or 7, but they decided it ran its course at #4. And Puss and Boots... technically, they have five movies, but other than Puss, there's no connection to Shrek at all in the film. Not even so much as a cameo.

Shrek 3, I just had problems with the caustic relationship between Puss and Donkey being replayed from the second movie, especially since it just got a 2 line reference in the fourth. But above all, I love the fourth one (not as much as the second, though) because it came full circle. Shrek was always in a deep depression about being an ogre, but in the fourth, he actually complains about people loving him. If nothing else, that was a nice twist.

By "working on" they've supposedly ordered a pilot. And that was quite a while ago, so we don't have any idea if it's going to happen or not. I really hope we do get a MVA series. We're not getting a sequel because it didn't perform in like some international market (they never disclosed which one). Wouldn't mind a Megamind Further Adventures series, actually...

As of now, I think Penguins is Nickelodeon's only decent show. At a time when everything else on Nick is loud, in your face, and/or loaded with obnoxious teenyboppers, it actually takes the risk of doing something different, and it works. Though as characters, I did always think the penguins themselves were relatively bland. Believe it or not, my favorite character on the show is Maurice (Julien's right-hand assistant). I always tend to like (and sympathize with) the "only sane man" characters on nearly every show.

Kung Fu Panda's pretty good too. Sure, it loses a lot of the depth of the movies, but it manages to get the spirit down. I like that they have the Jackie Chan character (Monkey) being voiced by the same guy who played Jackie Chan in the incredibly awesome Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon. But I've only seen about 2 or 3 episodes.

T.U.F.F. Puppy's pretty good. But then again, I'm a fan of Butch Hartman's anyway, so I tend to like his work.

Other than that, Nick just doesn't want to give cartoons a chance other than their preschool line up and Spongebob. And those bring them a LOT of money. I wouldn't be surprised if T.U.F.F. Puppy was axed soon. I hope it gets at least a Kid's meal promotion somewhere. I treasure the McDonald's toys of the canceled too soon Catscratched.

Out of all the cartoons that I know Butch Hartman has done, nothing beats either Tuff Puppy, or the Fairly Oddparents.

I wish I watched more of Danny Phantom. I really have to pick up some of those SHOUT DVD's of the series. I really liked what I saw of the series.

I'm a big FOP fan. I actually quite enjoyed that weird live action movie. I hope Shout gets the license to released that as a retail season by season set.

Wow... It must be hard for you to pick a favorite Muppet then...

It's a good enough show, but there's just one thing I can't put my finger on that I don't like.

OH MY GOD THAT SHOW WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

For as much as I love the show sometimes the humor gets very close too or crosses the line wher eit's almost too silly, if that makes sense. I like the humor for the most part but at times it feels a little over the top for the kind of humor that makes the show good.

Not really, the Muppets are a nice break from my usual seriousness.

I know. I LOVED waffle!
