Any fans here of the new cartoon series Chowder?

C.H. Greenblatt’s creation premiered Nov 2 on Cartoon Network, and new episodes air Fridays at 7:30 PM ET.

[plot from Wikipedia]:
“The series is set in “Marzipan City” and features a young kid named Chowder, who is Mung Daal’s young apprentice chef. Usually during the day, Chowder will perform tasks for Mung Daal while learning how to be a chef, but the problem is that Chowder eats everything in sight, which results in countless misadventures.”

Check out Greenblatt’s blog Nerd Armada where he recently covered Chowder’s questionable species and uncovered a fact about his…errrrm…anatomy. Heheh.

I’ve never actually seen a full episode, but they were playing some little clips of it before the movie when I went to see The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D. I’m not normally a huge fan of Cartoon Network shows (I think that’s the channel Chowder is on?), but this could be better, ya never know… :wink:

#3

I saw a few commercials of this and as soon as I saw it, Ratatouille just poped into my head every time. It doesn’t look that convincing to me, but I know people who might love it.

#4

I’ve seen some tiny parts of it,and I hear it most of the time,usually on weekends-my little sisters have nothing better to do then watch cartoons,LOL.

From what I’ve seen (and heard) of it,Chowder seems like a cute little cartoon to me!I might just go on Cartoon Network’s video section and watch some episodes! :wink:

Sounds like both of my sisters.Especially when it comes to candy…

#5

What exactly aren’t you convinced about?

~~=oP

#6

Heh, it sounds like ME when it comes to candy… :laughing:

#7

Yeah I watched half an episode but it didnt grab me. I dont know why, i guess I didnt find it that amusing…

#8

Oh geez. I love the voice acting in this show… Coutn me as a fan Funny funny funny show!

#9

How could anyone not like this show!!
It’s not only funny, but listen to Chowders voice, theres nothing in the cartoon world like it, and its hilarious.
Chowder: Would I!?
Aww Man

#10

well I gotta admit when I saw the commercial for last week’s episode, I laughed at the line about the pepper spray. Perhaps I’ll give it another chance. After all, i didnt like Fosters at first either, but now I love it.

Marzipan City? Sounds like they stole that from Strongbad’s website. (www.homestarrunner.com) One of the characters is named Marzipan. :confused:

#12

Nah. Marzipan is also a sugary almond treat.

Most of the characters are named after food:

  • Chowder (any of a variety of soups)
  • Mung Daal (mung bean, also known as mung dal)
  • Truffles (chocolate truffles)
  • Shnitzel (Weiner schnitzel)
  • Panini (panino sandwich)
  • Mrs. Endive (leaf vegetable)
  • Gazpacho (cold Spanish soup)
  • Gorgonzola (Italian blue cheese)
  • Kimchi (Korean vegetable dish)

Some food for thought. Heheh. :wink:

I love Chowder. It’s the only show I watch on Cartoon Network.

#14

This show is why I started watching CN again…Hoorah!

#15

I thought this show was going to be another short season or early cancelled show,but I was so wrong. This show is one of my favorite new CN shows so far. I wonder what new show is going to pop up next :question:

#16

i <3 that show!! its awesome and dogalisiousness!!(my new word)

#17

I just saw Chowder for the first time the other day, and it was absolutely delightful! Chowder’s voice is awesome!

#18

One of my favorite parts in Chowder is his voice and over all personality, too! The show is pretty random and strange, but Chowder’s such a great character.

#19

At first I thought this really was another CN bomb…but it grew on me after a couple better written eposodes…

Plus Schnitzel won me over…haha…gotta love him. :-D)

Rada…

:mrgreen:

schnitzel sounds like my mom (always talking on her cell phone)
