Big Nate

Fantastic soundtrack, awesome writing and funny jokes. Love this show. If you like Clarence from CN and want something similar but very different at the same time, gotta check this out. The characters are hilarious each in their own way. My favorites are the dad, sister and male teacher with the glasses and pet lizard.

Favorite ep is when Nate gets stuck doing figure skating and learns from one of his classmates how to skate. The chest hair gag was really funny .

Plus, the art style is cool (lots of great texture) and different from most of the other cartoons out there. There was a cool scene with a tornado. Stands out in all the best ways.

Only gripe is that the episodes can run a bit shorter.

This show is a disrespect to the comics it based on. First, the comic-style humor of the comics are changed into cheap TV gags. Second, the stories are repetitive. Third, everyone looks so uncanny here, especially Nate himself. Lastly, the voice acting is generic. Everyone should steer clear of this Nickelodeon trash.

The Flanderization of the characters is out of control. Flanderization is named after Ned Flanders. Its when you take a multi dimensional character and reduce them to a few over exaggerated traits. Nate went from being a kid who sometimes goofed off in class to stealing his teachers dentures. It replaced the more deadpan humor of the comic strip with broad slapstick. On its own it would be a fine show but this isn't Big Nate.

It's a very unfunny show. I didn't get engaged with the characters, the humour is not funny at all and made me pause the episodes several times, the episode plots are insanely boring and filled with pointless scenes that go on for too long. Not a great show from what I've seen, hopefully it can improve in the next season's since I like the big Nate comics...

Great and well thoughtout adaptation of the comics and also feel like the original big nate novels in a way. The animation style is nice. The only issues are the voices which are not always great. I dont know if nates voice fits him perfectly, however the principals voice sounds exactly like I thought it would, the jokes can be trying too hard but most of the time are funny and some jokes for adults too. I dont think these are enough to drop the score though because as a long time fan of this comic strip, everything feels like it works perfectly.
