So good that it even beat SpongeBob SquarePants in the Kid's Choice Awards as the nominee for best cartoon. I should've payed more attention to this brilliant cartoon than the seasonally rotting milked bread and butter of Nickelodeon that is SpongeBob SquarePants (though the Post-Sequel era is an improvement).
Best animated show ever made.
