Fish Hooks

I get it, this is certainly nothing visionary but it's not that bad. I too thought it was one of the worst things created when it first aired but it has grown on me. The creators have developed the concept and the characters over time. It has become a perfectly watchable cartoon that has been put to rest before it got dragged out too long.

I agree that the characters are extremely vapid but they all have their own appeal. It's dorky, dumb and poorly executed but it makes me chuckle. It certainly could be worse. This isn't a show for the average person and I won't recommend it but if you keep your expectations low, (give the first season a miss), it might entertain you.

When I first saw the commercials for this I thought "Oh lord, they are going to follow up Phineas and Ferb with this?" My reaction changed a bit when I actually saw a few episodes, since they were actually funny. There are a lot of "huh?" moments but overall it's a step up from a lot of the junk Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are putting out there nowadays. My only vice with this show is the animation style, it looks cheaply done (the parts with the pet shop etc...) With time, I see this show growing on the people that initially hated it. It won't be as big a hit as Phineas and Ferb, but I see Fish Hooks being around for a while, especially with Hannah Montana (hopefully) ending soon.

Don't think of it as a show to entertain parents. It's not. But a couple of years ago during summer, I would stay awake all night and watch TV, and I would drop everything to watch Fish Hooks. I loved the ending with the mouse and the snake, and I loved Milo's annoying personality, and how adorable Oscar was. I don't even remember the orange lady's name, but Oscar and Milo are two characters that have a small place in my heart. Compared to characters from Gravity Falls, it's nothing, but I still hate seeing anybody insult what used to be my favorite! My favorite episode was the one with the seahorse teacher guy trying to ask his love interest out. I hardly remember anything because when you're a kid, two years is equivalent to five for some older person, but I do remember how happy Fish Hooks made me. Even if it has poor quality and it's not for adults, it was a kids show and it served its purpose - At least for me.

Fish Hooks isn't a perfect show, but I like watching it. I don't mind the school related Plots since lots of TV shows have them. I think Milo, Oscar, and Bea are pretty well rounded characters bouncing off the world and people around them. The writing can get a bit stupid and the show didn't start super strong, but the show managed to be well written and entertaining all throughout. The show was originally focused more on comedy, but it became more character and story driven in later episodes, creating memorable episodes like "We've Got Fish Spirit", "Fish Prom", and "The Big Woo". The show isn't perfect, but I do like to watch it. I recommend watching this show with an open mind Abdul look more on the morality side of the show.

My Grade 9/10 (A-)

This is one of those cartoons that as a kid I really hated, but I rewatched it not long ago and it's definitely not as bad as I remembered. I still don't like it though, as some of the characters can get pretty annoying most of the time, and I personally find the way the fish are animated to be pretty weird looking. That is just my dumb opinion though😁
