    Some of the reviews, down here, are totally retarded. I didn't know that stupid people have the right to write reviews on this site.Anyway, if any of you, smart guys, start to watch this cartoon, you will find out,eventually, that this TV series is very interesting, promising and adorable at some point. Personally, i watched it all in my language, and i loved it. It has great humour, smart plot, and amazing lines.However, I gave a 7 out of 10, for 3 reasons, and it surprises me that no one mentioned them. 1. It passes some feminist messages: They make the female characters look stronger and way smarter than male characters. Watch Abby and Bessy for example. Otis looks like a stupid, weak, and helpless little cow in contrast with them. Also, Abby can lift weight, but the pig can't. WTF? Who wrote the script? A woman? 2. Bessy insults everyone for no reason, and especially the male characters, and acts like she doesn't give a fk. That's what a man would do, and it's completely disgusting and inappropriate if a woman does that. IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT! Once again, did a woman write the script? 3. Vegeterian crap. In an episode, they make Freddy admit to be vegan, even though he really isn't. He admits he doesn't want to eat his best friend, Peck the chicken, even though he tried many times to eat him in a lot of episodes. The animals are not dumb like human beings. They eat their prays, and they don't go against the food chain, like humans. If they are carnivorous, like humans, they eat meat. If they are vegetarians, they don't. They can't be both, and they can't change their way of life and nature. So, it's twisted and weird, by nature, to watch a carnivores animal go vegan like in this show. Once again, animals are not dumb like humans.I have to say, though, that this cartoon is made mostly for young ages, even though most of their lines and plot are appropriate for all ages, cause they are funny, smart, and amazing, if you leave Bessy and Abby (in some cases) aside, of course.

    I loved "Barnyard: The Original Party Animals" when it first came out. It was a funny and cute movie with action and a lesson for kids who were too selfish to be responsible, "A strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others." That obviously meant for you to look out for your friends instead of thinking of yourself. When you turn such a great movie into a television show, what could possibly go wrong? "Back at the Barnyard" is your pitiful answer.This show is so insipid and dumb, it makes Homer Simpson look smart. There is hardly any mention of Otis' lost father or Daisy and her calf, Ben. Most of the episodes consist, (I have seen a few), of the animals being stupid and messing around with the humans. We saw that once in the original film, Nickelodeon, why would you wanna make us see it again? One of the characters, Nora Beady, is a big example of "Back at the Barnyard's" cheesy and pointless jokes. I will admit that she was funny in "The Original Party Animals," but in this cartoon, she is so obsessed with trying to prove that Otis and his friends aren't normal, that it's just plain ridiculous.And, might I point out, what is the purpose of Abby's character? She was never in the film, so why did they replace Daisy with her? It's completely useless and deserves an explanation.Overall, "Back at the Barnyard" is a worthless cartoon that does nothing, but become terrible in every way possible. In my mind, there is only one "Barnyard," and that's the movie. All I have to say about this poor excuse for a cartoon is, thank goodness it is now gone.

    Just last night, I was replying to a thread on the Rockos Modern Life boards about Best and Worst shows on Nickelodean. And I was shocked when there were those who picked this as one of the worst, though not as shocked at how many people picked Avatar:The Last Airbender as one of the worst. Look, Back at the Barnyard is not Nickelodean's best not even close, I would pick Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, Doug and The Angry Beavers over this, but it sure the hell beats ChalkZone, Zoey101 and Rocket Power, and I truly think the gem that was once Spongebob has jumped the shark.And I will be honest, I think this show is better than the movie. I didn't like the movie really, but despite some predictable moments and some parts where the humour went over my head, Back at the Barnyard isn't bad at all. The animation is colourful and better-modelled this time around, while the music is good too. The writing and humour are random but it is funny, and while the stories have their predictabilities they are at least interesting. The characters are much more likable this time too, and the voice acting I had little problem with either.Overall, this isn't really a bad show. Not outstanding, but better than people make it out to be. 8/10 Bethany Cox

    As with Jimmy Neutron and his many specials, Steve Oedekerk shows true and under-appreciated comic genius. There are few as good as Oedekerk and company for satire in a cartoon vein, from The Right Stuff to Ocean's Eleven and everything in between, it's spot on farce. The characters are likable and truly individual. I would like to see more live action ensemble comedies as good as this, but I don't think the talent is out there (at least, not since Caddyshack.) Watch this. It's good for you, and it's good for your kids. Laughter is the best medicine. The most hilarious aspect are the comments of KillerKlownFromUranus above. He sounds exactly like Snotty Boy from the show, almost as if that repulsive, fat, oily, greasy, ignorant, loud mouthed, cowardly, ugly little pus head actually existed in real life. Life does imitate art, sometimes, doesn't it? If you don't like it, don't watch it.
