Cow and Chicken (1997–1999)
5/10
Wildly uneven. When it was good, it was great...but often, it just fell flat.

As a crazy adult who still loves to watch cartoons, "Cow and Chicken" is one of the most enigmatic of the new crop of toons. While I generally think cartoons in the 1990s and beyond are far better than they used to be in the 1960s-80s, I can't strongly embrace this show. Part of the problem is that the plots are wildly uneven. When funny, it's among the best cartoons but often the show just seems to ramble and seem, occasionally, a bit pointless. Plus, there were just limitations to the characters themselves. You can only take Cow's horrid and ear-splitting voice for so long and they needed to have some villain other than the ever-present Mr, Heinie. All in all, a show that just never seemed to hit its stride--even with its other cartoon characters such as I. M. Weasel and his friends. I really wanted to like this one...but I just couldn't after seeing many episodes.
