Chowder is one of those shows that "had me at hello." Like many parents, I want to stay on top of what my three kids are watching. I also like to set aside a little bit of time to watch a program they enjoy, something we can have in common, something we can laugh and joke about. And that something is Chowder! Aside from the expected adventures and mirth that takes place in each episode, there are ongoing themes that can provide little slivers of fun, or totally control the tempo of a show. Chowder is naive and loyal, Mung fancies himself as both a master chef and ladie's man, Truffles is the grumpy old battle-axe, and Schnitzel is...well...Schnitzel. Panini has a crush on Chowder, Endive thinks she is SOO much better than Mung, and Gazpacho is kind of a grown-up mama's boy version of Chowder. The humor is pretty straightforward and kid-centric, but the creators have also managed to splice in snippets of "grown-up stuff" that kids may still laugh at, even if they don't know exactly why. A couple of examples: In Burple Nurples (from Volume 2), Mung needs to dispose of Chowder's attempt at cooking on his own. He does this by dropping the offending nurples in Mt. Fondoom, in a parody of The Lord of the Rings. They even capture the lighting and facial expressions - subtle and quick, but it makes me smile every time. In The Fire Breather (from Season 2, not yet on DVD), Chowder eats some hot peppers and has fire breath, so he goes to live with some dragons. They show some fast clips while a song plays (Fireheart, I believe they call it). One of the scenes is something straight out of a Vallejo or Frazetta painting, except they have placed Chowder's and Panini's heads on the muscle-bound bodies. It happens so fast, but it is just a totally cool touch in my opinion. And it made my kids laugh! Not a week goes by in our house without a kid or adult saying "I'm not your boyfriend!" or "Rodda, rodda, rodda." I'm totally bummed that Cartoon Network has apparently decided to not pick up another season of Chowder. What were they thinking!?! Good thing Chowder can be found on DVD, because it is a cartoon for both the young and the young-at-heart. Thank you C.H. Greenblatt! (Chowder's creator and executive producer)Read full review
