    One of my absolute favourite cartoons

    Ever since I started watching Being Ian, I was inspired to create movies, TV shows, and cartoons. I have no doubts that this is one of my favourite shows, alongside The Big Bang Theory, SpongeBob SquarePants, Family Guy, Phineas and Ferb, and several more. Ian Kelley is an optimistic kid who is fascinated with TV and, most commonly, films, which inspired me. Another thing interesting about this show is the fact that some scenes spoof such films as Disney's Pinocchio, Tron, Star Wars, and even King Kong. I also found the show on YouTube, and it is just as PHENOMENAL as the other great shows I watched. In my opinion, this is Jimmy Neutron mixed with Canadian elements. This is why any day, I'll watch an episode of a great Canadian cartoon like Being Ian over an episode of an extremely abysmal cartoon like Caillou. This is why I rated this one 10 out of Infinity and Beyond!

    Amazing

    I think this show is just amazing I love the idea of how Ian goes on wacky adventures and in struggling situations. in the point of view for a child I think they will enjoy this but the recommended age range for this Show I think is (5-13) just because teens would not enjoy a show for little kids.

    Qubo's Biggest Downfall

    A few years ago,I remember seeing this show on Qubo This show is about a kid named Ian who had a dream. So basically,this is another show that sounds horrible by the minute you hear about it. First off,the plots. Most of it relies on Ian outwitting a problem, but the rest is De Niro awful like making a bad commercal or finding lost baby pictures. Seriously,who is writing this? This is just as bad as buying a highway that prisoners clean-up, or lying about a loose tooth. Second,the humor. There is nothing funny about this show at all. There are no funny moments at all,and unlike Fanboy and Chum-Chum,that had funny moments. The characters are not funny at all,and are just plain annoying. Ian is always worried about something. Freaking Chicken Guy is just annoying,and stupid,and is also played by Ian James Corlett, who also plays Baby Taz from Baby Looney Tunes, another terrible Vancover dub. The rest of the characters are just annoying,and not one is likable. Overall,this just proves that Y TV cannot be ported in the US, and that they just end up sucking. This was so bad it only aired a few episodes in the. Qubo must have realized this show sucked and had nothing good about it at all. Please,just forget about this.

    so lame

    This is an underrated show about a boy who has a mind of movie maker and does films around his home and his school and other places it shows how to be a great camer Filmer but compare to other TV shows being Ian is not an outstanding show its not the best or great its cheesy and the characters in are dull and not so cool so what do you see the point in watching this I can't think that this show should be rated 6.2/10 on IMDb its lame and cheesy and stupid and the characters have no development so what some people are going to disagree with me about this show.

    Any way the show is underrated and should not get a 6.2/10 on IMDb its lame and stupid and does not have one great moment in it. any way its lame and dull. This loser gets a big fat 3 out of 10.
