A Breath of Fresh Air

This show, is awesome. I really love it. It's from C.H. Greenblatt, the guy who gave us Cartoon Network's Chowder (one of my favorite cartoons ever made) and also gave us beloved SpongeBob episodes like Band Geeks. Harvey Beaks is about a young bird named Harvey. He is one of the best written child characters I've ever seen, because he acts almost exactly like a kid, being naïve, well meaning, and sometimes, a little psycho. He goes on adventures with his best friends Fee and Foo. They get into life changing situations along the way, helping each other get out of their comfort zones. I'm just gonna say, the friendship of these characters is extremely inspiring and heartwarming. Fee and Foo are trouble makers, but they are incredibly loyal friends to Harvey. They will never leave him in trouble or abandon him, which makes them very likable characters. Another thing I love about this show is the backgrounds: THEY'RE AMAZING. I can literally feel the depth of the forest just watching them. The show also includes very funny background characters, such as Princess, Technobear, and especially Dade the Rabbit. His voice and obsession with Harvey is hilarious. And this is an important thing: THE SHOW ISN'T LACED WITH Toilet HUMOR. That's probably the biggest thing that turns me off from modern Nickelodeon shows. SpongeBob, Sanjay and Craig, and Breadwinners all have toilet humor shoehorned into a lot of their episodes. I can't really say much more, because the show has just started, but it is worth a watch. NICKELODOEN, DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU CAN CREATE WHEN YOU PUT IN EFFORT? YOU'VE GOT A GEM, AND YOU BETTER NOT RUIN IT. This show just may be enough to win back most of your viewership. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with Nickelodeon lately. While Sanjay and Craig and Breadwinners are still some of their worst shows to date with almost entirely negative reception, SpongeBob is getting back on track with Season 9 (especially because Hillenburg is returning) and now they have Harvey Beaks. C.H. Greenblatt, looks like you've still got your touch.

score 8/10
