Guilty pleasure

Certainly not a GREAT cartoon, or even a good one. But....I can't say I hated this one. I really enjoyed it as a kid. Sure the characters were stupid, the plots were unoriginal, and the animation was very mediocre. But, there was something charming about it. It's stupidity and absurdness was what made me enjoy it as a kid. It doesn't hold up too well, but there are certain moments of this show I genuinely liked. One such episode was when a beekeeper villain tried to get rid of all candy for his healthier candy bar, and at the end of the episode Johnny and his pals stopped trying to defeat him. Instead they talked it out and came to an agreement that I thought was a very satisfying conclusion to the episode. Other episodes weren't so great, but I tend to remember the better ones. The Johnny X episodes are so ridiculously dumb, highlighted by "Power Poots" and such. But BOOOYYY did I like them as a kid, and I don't really remember why exactly. It was like a crossover with all the goofy villains of the show and I genuinely liked that. The 5th episode of this saga had a pretty sad ending that choked me up as a kid, I definitely recommend seeing it for yourself as it was one of the best in the series (by best, I mean an objective 8/10. Still a dumb episode, but charming).

My review is just here to balance out the overly negative and positive ones that make up the majority. I genuinely though this show was ok. Not good, but not bad. Just ok. I can think of shows that were much MUCH worse than this one for many reasons......
