Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa

Moo Mesa is cherished by me for its activity and excitement. Like Spongebob, it's very fast-paced and thus isn't the best show for a busy, overwhelming day. But for me, it's solid entertainment. The premise may sound to some like the plot to a burger ad (cowboys that are actual cows), but for kids and kids-at- heart (like me), none of that matters. For me, it's the TV equivalent of an amusement park. Moo, Cowlerado, and Dakota are very appealing, Cowlamity Kate and Lily Bovine add some feminine charm, and Cody acts as the token child, a little like Skippy Rabbit from Robin Hood. But it's the villains that I really enjoy. Sheriff Terrorbull is secretly the Masked Bull and the corrupt Mayor works to hide Terrorbull's identity. Saddlesore Scorpion and Boothill Buzzard both add comedy. I find Boothill (whose name is taken from another name for graveyard) especially funny. As I mentioned in a Jungle Book post, I absolutely adore vultures. Especially effeminate old man vultures who disguise themselves in dresses!

This show is a work of art. It's a cartoon made for kids, but I'm 17 and I'm in love with this show. I can appreciate it because there are complex things that older audiences may enjoy like the puns of the character names or the complexity of the universe. Here are the things I enjoy: 1. A nice touch is the fact that the arch-villain is also the sheriff of Cowtown, who is also a pawn of the corrupt mayor. A twist like that makes the show intriguing.

2. The voice acting is outstanding. Capturing that dialect makes it interesting. Not to mention that each character has his/her unique way of saying things. Dakota's one-word "yep"s is the best dialog.

3. Each character has a stylized firearm. It may seem ridiculous at first, but you get used to it. (Moo shooting stars bullets reminds me of ninjas, which is awesome) 4. The characters have such deep personalities. The top-gun attitude of Cowlorado, the smooth operator talking of the mayor, the adventurous and inquisitive Cody, and each of the bad guys have a style to them.

5. Like all the old school cartoons, this show had morals. Things like honesty or telling an adult were talked about in the show.

My only complaint in the show is that "yippy-ky-yay" or "yee-haw" thing they do frequently. But that's hardly an issue. The rest of the show makes up for it. We need the show back. Kids have no respect for cartoons anymore.

I remember this show as a kid. I remember my older sister thought it was stupid because the main characters were cows(hence "cow boy."). I thought it was imaginative and unique. Not to beat down Anime, but it is just overkill for today's youth. Trendy, cliché, and no originality like shows of this caliber from the old days. I think this is one of the many shows that got my imagination running because it used such odd ideas. But when you sat back and watched it, it made total sense: they're cows in the wild west. And now that I look back on it, it had a story, character development, and a plot, something cartoons of nowadays lack. I would highly recommend having your kids watch this show, if you ever find the DVD's or some channel that has it in syndication.

Why are there humanoid cows but also regular cows, and why are they riding on horses? Also, the character designs look wack, like the female characters have ridiculously short snouts, the scorpion looks like Crazy frog, and there's a blue cow.

Gotta mention that the bad guys are so pathetic, they never seem to win and what's up with their names, 'Bulloney', really? And how about 'Terrorbull'? Bruh these names are not clever and just corny.

The western theme is so overused and unoriginal that the show is boring to watch.

Overall, this show is sun basked manure.

You're better off watching TMNT, instead.

This had to be one of my favourite shows when I was a little kid. My cousin, Cody, and I would watch it together at our grandparents house. This show holds so much sentimental value for me because Cody has since passed on (he was 13). Aside from that this show is (or at least was) one of the best shows for kids. Today all you've got is Pokemon type shows...this is one of the few shows that actually had a plot, heroes, and an actual, some what believable story line! Even if the characters are cows, these shows are so much better than those stupid brain-deadening shows that are shown today. If I could EVER find the episodes of Moo Mesa I would definitely purchase it. I hope this was helpful.
