I loved Duckman. It was one of my favorite adult cartoons of the 1990s. Everett Peck was an amazing person, but unfortunately, Squirrel Boy is not his best work. In fact, it is, by far, his worst creation yet. Squirrel Boy was such a god awful show. The plot was horrible, the animation sucked, everything about this show was horribly awful. Everett Peck left Duckman for this??!! Duckman was an awesome show, and I was so upset that Everett went on to make this mess. This show was so disappointing, especially to us fans of Duckman. Cartoon Network should not have green-lit this show in the first place. Cartoon Network did have bad shows before this like Big Bag, Cow and Chicken, Mile, Lu & Og, and Sunday Pants, but this is just plain awful. Squirrel Boy was among one of the most forgettable cartoons Cartoon Network has ever made. By far the network's worst that came out in 2006. Rodney the Squirrel was such a pain in the butt. Everett Peck, go back to Duckman. Please?
... View MoreLately, Cartoon Network has been slacking a little bit on quality shows and letting some shows slide from their original quality (Fosters has changed quite a bit), but I'd have to say Squirrel boy is one of the few good shows still on the network.Unlike some shows on the network, the show doesn't rely on potty and adult humor. but good old fashioned slapstick and sarcasm. The show is funny and, even some other people did say the writing lacked, it was nominated for four (More than spongebob)Annies, including one for writing.Sure, the voice actors are recognizable, but sometimes having these recognizable people is a good thing! the voices fit the characters extremely well, and the voice acting is done extremely well.Sure, this is just my opinion, but the sly sarcastic humor on the show is what makes it so good! So, if you want to watch something animated, made in America, and not Spongebob, watch Squirrel Boy. It is funny, trust me.

It does very little to push the standards of conventional cartoon humor, and even fails to deliver the mediocre; which wouldn't be all bad if not for the fact that most of the characters in the show are simply uninteresting.Most dialog throughout the series seems to lack proper timing and the chemistry required to care about the characters, their relationships, or what's even going on in any particular episode. Though the voice acting is decent, it often seems as though the show is trying so hard to be entertaining that it's actually begging you to laugh at it's bland and all-too-familiar setup.
... View Morethis show is basically another CatDog rip off. this time with political icons pasted on as the characters. unlike other Rocko's Modern Life successors such as Lil' Bush and Pucca this show is not in the least bit funny. Lil' Bush and Pucca are always insulted for "not having good storytelling elements" but at least they're funny if the viewer enjoys crude and over the line humor. Squirrel Boy just isn't funny at all, no matter what kind of humor the viewer enjoys. i realize that comedy doesn't always have to make since to be funny, but i believe that when a parody of a pop culture(or in this case CatDog-like figure) is made it should at least make some since. i'll admit the evil Kyle thing is somewhat ugly, but it really doesn't make any since at all. this show would fair much better if it didn't reference any CatDog characters and instead had unoriginal characters that haven't been joked to death. this leads to my next point, the jokes are all overused. i watched like 8 episodes so far and I've yet to hear any original material. again, it seems a writer and artist teamed up, the writer recycled CatDog jokes and scripts from other animated sitcoms and the artist attemped a Rocko's Modern Life/Pucca merger with CatDog-like figures.I really tried watching this show. My little Brotherloves this show so I've seen a couple of episodes. This brings me to this conclusion, This show is crap. No seriously, this is another mockery to all animated shows from Cartoon Network. The characters and stories in this show is pitiful. All the characters are stiffs. Their dialouge is stupid. Their jokes are corny and unfunny(even though they try so hard to be). There's nothing that stands out with any of the characters. The stories are badly written. the storyline is stupid. A Squrriel & his owner dose stupid stuff to become popural. It's another real bad Family Guy clone.And it really wouldn't be much of a squrriel power cartoon without stupid music, corny plans, and stupid way in getting into trouble.I know recently, there has been a trend of 'Squrriel Power' cartoons, but this is just sorry. It tries to be a Yakkity Yak clone, but fails at it badly. Seriously, this show is just sucks. If your looking for some idiot brain power, watch Cormartie High School, Mr. Meaty, and dare I say it, Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Inland.The only redeeming quality for this show is the decent animation. But it doesn't save it for being an extremely bad show.So let's see if I covered everything; Bad stories, pitiful characters, corny voice acting, retarded humor, stupid piece of Cartoon Network S**T, and bad poses. Yep, your everyday generic Juvenal Dequent cartoon.
