I love Johnny Bravo and try to pattern my life after him. I love to ask myself "what would Johnny do" and act accordingly. These cartoons are among my favorites on the Cartoon Network and almost always make me laugh. In particular, I loved the Scooby Doo and Johnny Bravo pairing as well as the takeoff on Schoolhouse Rock--what classics. However, after several years of wonderful episodes something happened. The art style changed, the stories got a lot weaker and Carl was gone!!! You can't have Johnny Bravo without nice and nerdy Carl to abuse--it's sort of like the 3 Stooges with only Larry--the chemistry is all wrong. My advice is watch all the older episodes and learn from the master--and ignore all those new so-called Johnny Bravo episodes.

The beginning of Johnny Bravo was excellent, as many reviewers have already stated. Johnny knew kung-fu, had an awesome car and was truly the epitome of cool.

Somewhere along the way, however, things began to change. Now Johnny Bravo had to ride a tricycle because he couldn't drive, his taking kung-fu was just a gag for being beat up by children and no one truly liked Johnny anymore; instead he was just a whipping post for the town.

This seems to happen to a lot of good shows, particularly cartoons. Someone interprets the silliness and charisma that make a character click as "stupidity," and the series goes downhill.

What makes this more disappointing is that Johnny Bravo, in its original incarnation, was a true comedic treasure.

I might have not seen every single episode of this show but I remember seeing a few. Like the christmas special episode.

It had some good voice acting including some guest stars. I know all shows must come to an end eventually but it does make me wonder if this show decided to go the One Piece/Sponge bob root who else would we have gotten in the show. Especially since there are a lot of great voice actors/actress in the voice acting industry which weren't around when this show was getting recorded.

Majority of the plot is just about Johnny trying to impress girls but failing at it and causing mayhem wherever he goes.

It also has a good theme song.

8/10

Johnny bravo is a Cartoon Network classic this show is immature, rude and hilarious. Johnny bravo is a fast paced short legged sexist self centered idiot who still lives with his mum/mom and thats why I love him (in a platonic way) in the adventures he has to quote pick up chicks he always ends up failing he is like the Charlie sheen of kids cartoons. I wouldn't recommend the show to any parents if you watch it you will see why. The greatest thing to about Johnny Bravo is watching it at a young age being completely oblivious of whats happening and waiting until your about 15 and realizing what you watched at a young age and laughing about what you watched and feeling awkward about whats happening but still has a kids cartoon feeling about it. overall its still great no matter how cheesy some parts are its a great show I would recommend it to any one... anyone who isn't a woman this show is great

I am going through a pre-midlife crisis and am watching numerous cartoons from my youth. Hanna-Barbera played a big role in my childhood TV so I could not pass up the opportunity to watch Johnny Bravo when I discovered a cheap DVD on Amazon!

Johnny Bravo, among many many other cartoons, comes from a time when creators had almost completely free reign on what the put out, provided it didn't have nudity or swear words...aside from that, anything was fair game. The Flintstones highlighted the sexism of the time, whilst Hong Kong Phooey was somewhat racist. But as I said, it was a sign of the time, and Johnny Bravo was no exception.

The cartoon focuses on Mr. Bravo and his antics to try and get the girl. His methods, although persistent, were somewhat flawed since he relied on being buff and acting like your typical airhead jock. Although the way he treated women would be considered downright sexist and degrading to women, the show promotes the opposite view. This is because every attempt he makes using this approach fails and it simply highlights that women should not be objectified or treated like women were in the 60's. It was a bit of a mind game, but I honestly think that the cartoon's silliness did have an essence of a message!

The plots of the episodes themselves were great fun. From Johnny Bravo being thrown out of a plane to him shrinking to the size of a pea, this series really did cover all its bases. I struck of a point here because I felt some of the episodes were repetitive making them unmemorable, or just a bit too silly making them annoying. However, the majority were great and that is what is important.

Like many cartoons, Johnny Bravo enjoy referencing other cartoons to. From their rendition of the Scooby Doo to Batman, I loved that this cartoon really did make you feel like you were experiencing more than just the small world of Johnny Bravo himself. It also gave me a few more cartoons I need to add to my watch list!

Johnny Bravo is not only a great cartoon of its time, but it is a great cartoon period. Although some of his antics are questionable from a gender equality point of view, the cartoon itself emphasises the opposite message! If you enjoy watching something to relax to at the end of a hard day, or you just want a laugh, give this a go. It's peachy :)

I still love this show and I always will. I used to watch it with a Norwegian dub as a child and I recently watched it with the original voices, which obviously is far superior. I never fully understood why he always got rejected by the ladies tho. He is smooth as butter!

JOHNNY BRAVO (1997-2004) is a hilarious cartoon about the macho yet narcissistic and egomaniac character by the same name. Johnny Bravo is a very silly and highly entertaining character.

I have to agree with other reviewers that the earlier episodes are the definitively the pbetter ones. Later, things go a but downhill for the series, which makes it sad for fans of the original.

"The misadventures of a dumb blond egomaniac who severely overestimates his own manliness and his supposed "success" with women."

Overall, this cartoon makes for great family fun. The humorous machismo comedy was greatly entertaining and hilarious. Give the earliest episodes a chance.
