So a few years back, Disney Channel was doing pretty good. It featured a menagerie of shows that were popular with the younger crowd, tweens, teens, and even adults. Among these shows was the mega hit, Kim Possible, which rightfully gained a huge fan based, tons of merchandise (Still got my Rufus doll! ;)), and brought in the moolah for the monkeys in suits that run Disney.So what was the only thing to do? Why, cancel Kim Possible and replace her with Lizzie Maguire in a fly suit! It made perfect sense! If you're a Disney Exec with the brains of an apple snail, that is.Needless to say, fans were flabbergasted. "THIS?" They cried. "You ****heads cancel Kim Possible and THIS is what you give us in turn?" OK, I was the one who said it, but the feeling was pretty much the same throughout the KP fan base.'The Buzz on the Maggie' was pretty much doomed. What could have been a cute concept was undermined by lousy characterization, irritating voices, unoriginal plots and a resentment toward it for replacing Kim.The end of the story is well known: Head Monkey Eisner got the boot and so did 'The Buzz on Maggie.' The sixty-five episode rule that Eisner instated was tossed and Kim was picked up for another season. The Little Fly with the bug eyes and the purple hair was quickly forgotten as we crowded around our sets and waited for Kim to return.Flies live for a week, so they say. Maggie got two seasons. She should consider herself lucky.
... View MoreOK why bother making another crappy show we already had CatDog?The jokes,well Maggie should;vie went on My Gym Partner's a Monkey and just tell their gross jokes there.The School Insects,well I just want to rip my eyes out at the sight of them!Sure the concept of the show might sound great on paper,but not as an actual show.Disney started out with Weekenders,then somehow in 2005,4kids turned Disney Channel into an actuals crap fest.Plus it's also a Homestar Runner ripoff,just give her jobs at a crappy School.Plus every episode involves some form of gross humor that makes you want to throw up.If they tried to make it like Kirby: Right Back at Ya!,they didn't do a very good job.And the plots,monkeys could make better plots than that!the humor that isn't meant for kids which makes the series otherwise controversial.It's an all around immature series and provides plenty of Teenage stereotypes(Maggie being a "geek",the Dumb-Beetels being "totally cool",and the jocks beating up on smaller kids).I think the crude humor was better when it was in a show called "Courage the Cowardly Dog" that's insanely funny.No doubt the worst 4kids show ever made(even though it's not that much of an anime)And oh look,now these idiots from CatDog have made 4kids go down the tubes and fall apart piece by painful piece.Shows like this are the reasons why I rarely watch Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network .I can see why this has such bad ratings. Who must'vie been on drugs when he put his voice CatDog & The Buzz on Maggie? Now if it's going to have a new season on Disney Channel,the last thing we need is more shows that give Nicktoons Network, Disney Channel, & CN a chance to animate all 4kids TV classics.Now we have to worry about a season that I heard 4kids end. might be planning,but I doubt it will sell well.Worst show put in development,Nuff said.And a few other things:flash?Sure not many shows have gotten canned that these days,it's nice to try something else over hand drawn and computer animation,but we are in 2007,not 1967.
... View MoreEWWW! This has to be the worst show ever created! Its definitely up there with "naturally Sadie" "american dragon" and can we ever forget the wretched "dave the barbarian" I mean sure I believe not to "yuck someones yum" but I'm just being honest! If Disney would put the older, better shows on its channel, I would watch it so much more than i do now! I mean come on! you take off good quality shows like "smart guy" for "the buzz on Maggie" ? how low can you sink! They could at least make a second channel with all the better older shows on it. And same with nickelodeon! Before the cruddy shows they have on now, they both used to be channels worth watching! Whenever I come across a "zoey 101" or a "naturally Sadie" episode, I change it to the worst channel I can think of, because anything on there is 5 times better than those crap shows! Srry to all those who like the shows i just put down, but I'm just being honest. I like the old shows and thats that.
... View More"The Buzz on Maggie" is not just another Disney Channel show. After watching the reruns over and over again, typical Disney programming, I've really started to understand the show. The humor is really funny, its not just a typical cartoon. It seems like the makers of the show were making it funny for everyone, its almost like a "Simpsons." I've read a lot of negative feedback for this show on the message boards, which I think mostly comes from 12(ish) year old boys who are angry Disney Channel is ignoring them. Yes, it is true that most Disney Channel shows focus on a girl, but you shouldn't take that out on this show. "The Buzz on Maggie" would be great if it was on any channel. It's really funny, each character is dynamic, the voices are all really different, and the animation is really good, I can picture every single character as a plush doll and printed on sheets and lunch boxes. Besides the marketable nature of the show, the writing is really good, and the stories are clever and well thought out. Kudos to those who make it, I can't wait to see more episodes.
