The Mighty B!

A lot of the time when it comes to Nickelodeon tv shows I don't buck the trend, but here I do. The Mighty B is a rather good show, although not perfect by any means.

The animation is very expressive and animated. This is one of the times where flash animation was the right choice.

I didn't find Bessie as annoying as others thought she was. Maybe it's because I spent a lot of time with small children when I was in foster care, but I seem to have an immunity to annoying characters in media in general. There are times, though, where she will grate on you, though luckily, not to the extent of the actual characters in the show.

Overall, if your looking for a solid mid-2000s Nicktoon, you may find it here, despite there being a few duds in the episode listing.

I remembered watching The Mighty B! on Nickelodeon and was nice. The characters, the humor, the writing are all well-done and I can say that this is one of my favorite Nucktoons of all time. Man, was The Mighty B! a fun show. Give this one an 8.4/10

Nickelodeon is a very mixed bag when it comes to their animated shows. There are classics such as 'Rocko's Modern Life', 'Ren and Stimpy', 'The Angry Beavers' and 'Doug'. As well as prime-'Spongebob Squarepants' and prime-'The Rugrats' (the early episodes in both cases). It also boasted some very bad shows like 'ChalkZone', 'Tak and the Power of Juju', 'Fanboy and Chum Chum' and 'Rocket Power', am also someone who has personally never cared for 'The Fairy Odd Parents'.

There are certainly far worse animated shows out there than 'The Mighty B' in my view, with it not being as bad as the really bad shows that have been listed. Not just on Nickelodeon, but also overall. Having said that, count me in as another person who has never cared for it and who considers it a lesser Nickelodeon effort. This is not being said with pleasure, this is coming from a 30 something female who still loves animation and appreciates all styles and decades as well as humour styles.

By all means, 'The Mighty B' has some good things. The voice actors all make game efforts and inject a lot of energy and enthusiasm into their characters (at times too much so). Did like the backgrounds, which does have some nice colour and detail.

Some of the music is quite cool.

However, this reviewer does have to agree that the characters are very irritating. Bessie is up there with one of the most insufferably annoying lead characters of any Nickelodeon animation, a strong case of negative character traits being badly exaggerated. Didn't care for the humour, gross out, crude humour has worked very well in animation numerous times. The writing and jokes just come over as really juvenile and generic, as well as lacking in variety and overdone in the gross out aspect to a distasteful degree.

Furthermore, the stories really lack energy and are very predictable and bland, they also go well overboard on the random-ness. Random-ness and weirdness has been known to work in animation but for it to work it needs wit and imagination and the stories in 'The Mighty B' lack both and come over as too silly and confused. Despite some nice backgrounds, the animation is not to my tastes. The colours are flat and the character designs hideous.

Overall, a long way from mighty. 3/10.

I think this show isn't funny nor entertaining. Every time my little sister turns on nick to this show, I get a headache. They try to make it funny, but it is not even close to any of the past cartoons nick has shown. I can't get through an episode without leaving the room and turning on my Gameboy or my Ipod. This show is making my sister stupid i think O_o Usually cartoons have smart humor... this was just frustrating and out of reach stupid. I think I will watch SNL instead. anyways... 3/10 i would give it 1 but i think that will be a compliment. Good Luck Nick, try and get better shows for kids, teens, and adults.

Mighty B! is an OK cartoon. High production value, but not totally unique. After all, kids love the same formula.

But what I think is really intriguing is the fact that this character is based off one of Amy Poehler's UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE characters, "Cassie." Cassie, played by Poehler can be seen in Episode 101: Bucket of Truth, and is called back a few other times throughout the three season run. Cassie, like Bessie, is a girl scout, she has a hilarious lisp, and her troupe name is "The Honeybees".

UCB is in my opinion the funniest most creative show ever on television... ever. But Mighty B! just seems like an average cartoon. Even if Amy Poehler and Matt Bessie, I mean Besser, have a hand in creating it.
