        Great show!

        As described above, Sheep In The Big City is a great show. It really brings back the humor that's been missing SO long in cartoons nowadays...that of the silly, not-making-sense kind, not of the stereotyped juvenile kind like Nick dishes out on their network. It brings back great memories of Rocky and Bullwinkle...add to that a great cast of characters, interesting storylines, a cute sheep as the hero of the show, and humorous "commercials" in-between the show's chapters akin to Ren & Stimpy, and you got yourself one of the best cartoons on Cartoon Network. It's a shame they only play it once a week...

        This Show Rocks!

        All the literal, dry humor, the breaking of the fourth wall, the random bits thrown in for no reason. There is nothing unlikable about this show. If you dislike this show, you probably hate all happiness and just wish the whole world would be as miserable as you.

        But I say No Thank You, Sir. I live in a world of joy and happiness, and that is why I love this show.

        This show was the best thing to ever happen to Cartoon Network. It was the last truly funny Cartoon Cartoon developed, and it can be summarized in one word: Awesome. But there is a requirement for lines of text in a review, so I will use a few other words: Joyous, Delightful, A Godsend, Beautiful, Wonderful, and was all around the light of my life from ages 10-12, before it was coldly taken from me with little to no chance of a DVD release.

        Witty and Charmingly silly!

        I thought this show looked cute when I saw the trailer and it is....very! They are constantly making fun of the military, infomercials and other commercials, plenty o' puns too! If you like Johnny Bravo, Dexters Laboratory and The powerpuff girls you gotta see this!

        Cute, that describes it so well

        I wasn't too sure what to expect when I heard Sheep in the Big City received it's own series. All in all, I'd have to say it's very funny, and has a lot of charm. Sheep is constantly being chased down by the military, as they need a sheep for their new ray gun. Of course, Sheep will make sure they never take him alive! One must wonder, however, why don't General Specific and Private Public go after a different sheep instead? I'd also like to know how exactly a sheep is an exponent in a ray gun. However, that's the kind of humor to expect from this show. It does get a little repetitive unfortunately, as General Specific never actually catches Sheep (or even come close to doing so) in any of the episodes. However, Sheep always gets into trouble unintentionally while trying to hide. What really makes the show so hysterical, however, is the incredibly sarcastic narrator Ben Plotz. He's always commenting throughout the show on whether or not he thinks General Specific's plan will work, and whenever Sheep is feeling blue, you can be sure he'll say something like "Awwwwww, poor Sheep." Overall I'd give this show an 8/10. It's actually quite similar to Ed Edd n Eddy, as both shows have so many different events going on at the same time it can be difficult to follow (which is more of a good thing.) However, the environment is a lot different, and offers a lot more variety. Even so, I'd say I prefer Ed Edd n Eddy because of the fantastic character development. That's not to say the characters in Sheep in the Big City are flat, as everyone's full of personality. However, the characters are much more open with each other on Ed Edd n Eddy than Sheep, which knocks it down a little. But even so, this show is a worth watching. And hey, how many cartoons end with a Ranting Swede?

        Smart bombs were Dating then they got engaged :D

        Its something of nothing.... but its something....

        the show is based on moronic, literals and crazy elements that make it all the better, it is not for people who are looking for purpose, it is pure and mindless fun. But its not all mindless at all times, it is quite witty and humorous. This show is not for little kids as it has a lot of elements in them which they may not be able to grasp. But for an adult who is a little off and had a bad day or just wants to get away, then this is an answer. Just sit back and relax and enjoy the nothingness from jokes like naming people "Private Public" to "Major Hazard" which is literally their job also. To having dumb Sultans who let even dumber guards to play catch with his most precious diamond :D even the commercials were a riot.... Oxymoron:- Bowling with the power of an OX {baaaaaa, ting ti ting ting } And his name was Ang-ree Scientist, Agn-ree not MAD .... lolz

          Ranting Swede: I'll tell you one thing that really clips my begonias... Coffee Tables! Is every beverage in the world going to want its own table now? Oh, here's the coffee table, here's the tea table, oh, watch out! Here's the lemon-flavored seltzer water table. Where's it all going to end? I drink both root beer and diet root beer. There'll be no place in my house for my shoes! And another thing, if they can put a man on the moon, why can't they leave him there?
