Oh Yeah! was really more of a vast number of pilot episodes for Nick under the guise of a series. There were almost 100 segments comprising over 30 half hours, probably 60 of them ended up as one-offs, the others like Fairly Oddparents and Chalkzone were sometimes 4 or 5 segments. Because of the very diverse nature of the shows themselves, the series is often jarring and confused, but understand the real goal of the show was to generate new series. Chalkzone and FOP were the greatest successes (the Invader Zim pilot was aired as part of Oh Yeah! but had been completed before). There are a few diamonds in the rough, but you often need patience to find them. As others have pointed out, Cartoon Network was the first to try this method with Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo and Powerpuff Girls being amongst the shows that evolved from shorts.
... View MoreFirst of all, Kimi, this came AFTER World Primere Toons. World Primere Toons (a.k.a. What a Cartoon or Cartoon Cartoons) started in early 1995. Oh Yeah! started in summer 1998. But in this show's defense, World Primere Toons wasn't the first of it's kind. Remember Liquid Television, produced by MTV, which is owned by the same company as Nick (Viacom)? Anyway, the shorts ain't all that funny, but they're cute,and the one where Hobart buys his gal a puppy so she won't have to walk her toaster anymore made me laugh hard. Plus, it gave us Fairly OddParents, which evolved into one of the best things on TV today. Also, My Life as a Teenage Robot, which spun off from Oh Yeah, is shaping up to be a great show.

Butch Hartman apparently has a monopoly over the show, given that he's made at least three different ones (two of which, "Chalk Zone" and "The Fairly Oddparents", have gotten their own, equally horrid, shows). This show is still running from time to time, while great shows like "The Angry Beavers", "Rocko's Modern Life", and "Ah! Real Monsters!" have simply disappeared. PLEASE NICK, DESTROY THIS PIECE O' CRAP SHOW!Zero stars.
... View MoreI prefer the "What a cartoon show" over this garbage. Unlike the what a cartoon show's cartoons, Oh Yeah! cartoons cartoons are stupid, and extremely lame. This show introduced us to "The Fairly Oddparents" which unfortuantly became a series, and a bad one at that! I recommend the what a cartoon show over this any day!
