Honestly, upon first watching this show, it was hard to dig into, yet my brother seemed to have some sort of interest in it, so i had no other choice but to watch it, and I was impressed!To start off, the animation of "The Mighty B!" is really not that bad, compared to other cartoons out there now days. (And of course excluding Japanese animes and American spin-offs of the genre.) Anyone who has been around long enough to remember good cartoons from the past like "Dexter's Laboratory" or "Rugrats" will see a very strong resemblance to the cartoon "Ren and Stimpy" The introduction to each episode is nothing less of catchy and strikes the viewer with a happy tone, a great way to start up a great show. As for the song at the credits, they are eerie, given the time that they usually broadcast episodes regularly in my area. (5:00 AM)The plots of each episode are very funny and creative. Rather it's the main character, Bessie Higgenbottom, struggling to earn another badge and become one step closer to transforming into this "The Mighty B" figure or it's finding out her dog has a history in a Russian Special Operations group, the viewer will always find themselves wanting more.Truly this isn't the "best" cartoon out there today, but it's up there. For Nickelodeon, it is a step in the right direction, something to get away from the terrible shows they are putting out now days.

Mighty B! is an OK cartoon. High production value, but not totally unique. After all, kids love the same formula.But what I think is really intriguing is the fact that this character is based off one of Amy Poehler's UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE characters, "Cassie." Cassie, played by Poehler can be seen in Episode 101: Bucket of Truth, and is called back a few other times throughout the three season run. Cassie, like Bessie, is a girl scout, she has a hilarious lisp, and her troupe name is "The Honeybees". UCB is in my opinion the funniest most creative show ever on television... ever. But Mighty B! just seems like an average cartoon. Even if Amy Poehler and Matt Bessie, I mean Besser, have a hand in creating it.

Remember the last time you were stuck on an airplane and the annoying brat in the next row kept wiggling, squirming, talking and kicking the seat for the whole flight? Bessie is that kid. She is a hyper little geekwad with a painfully abrasive voice, and is so irritating that this show just isn't fun to watch. What's more, the show lacks the multidimensional humor that would make it amusing for adults as well as children. Instead, there are potty jokes; racial, class, religious and regional stereotypes; and the central joke of Bessie's completely nonexistent social skills. It's hard to connect to Bessie or feel anything about her except the desire for her to shut up! The animation is OK in a '90's Ren and Stimpy-ish way but like the rest of the show, it seems they made it intentionally frenetic just to cover up the lack of anything genuinely interesting. Nick has canned better toons without giving them time to develop. I hope they consign this stinker to the bottom of the bin and use the resources for something decent.

I don't know if this will contain spoilers or not, but here goes...Right from the start, I was wary about this show. I would watch the commercials and think, This will be nothing more than a feeble attempt to recapture Nick's 90s glory. Then, I reminded myself that I shouldn't judge before watching it. So, one day when I had nothing to do, I sat down and gave it a try.Unfortunately, my expectations were pretty much right on target. The whole bee/"B" theme comes off as really obnoxious, and right from the start I saw stereotypes: nerdy girls, popular girls, uptight teacher-figures, annoying little brothers...the word "hippie" was even present in the dialogue of one episode, speaking of a museum worker (named Rainbow, if I'm not mistaken, yet another stereotype). I saw this particular show, and it left me open-mouthed, wondering why in the world this was necessary. Continuing on, the characters have no depth and the plots are cookie-cutter-ish and uninteresting. The name of the show itself is questionable. Yes, the girl's name is Bessie, but if there is actually going to be a superhero-figure called "The Mighty B", why not focus the show more on that? All I saw relating to the name were 15-second clips of what she would have done if she were a superhero.As with most shows, I really wish that I could think of it in a way other than negatively, but...seriously? Come on. We should be expecting something truly genius out of Amy Poehler. The one redeeming quality of this show, in fact, is that she created it. On the other end of the spectrum, she is the last person I would expect to create something of such poor quality is this. I mean, Amy Poehler is one of the best people in comedy today, especially with her SNL stuff. She never fails to make me laugh.Well, except for now.A word to Nickelodeon: Unless you can come up with something that genuinely resembles the great cartoons of the 90's or you put the old shows back on (like All That, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Spongebob pre-Spongebob movie, etc.), please don't bother introducing shows like "Mighty B"...Please.2/10, solely for Amy Poehler.
