Cartoon Network: Chowder: Volume 1 (DVD)

I stumbled upon this cartoon because I was in the same room as my sister when she was watching it. At first glance, I thought it was like any other poorly thought out cartoon, but I got hooked on the story and continued to watch.Chowder is definately one of the most creative cartoons I've ever watched. The creators are truly talented. The stories are actually original!! The anamation styles used vary in an interesting blend. The fantasy element of the show is catchy; there's so many crazy people and foods that exist in their world. The humor is everything you could want from a cartoon, its sophisticated and childish at the same time.I appreciate some of the vulgar cartoons out there, don't get me wrong. But Chowder is like a breath of fresh air. It's clean, wholesome comedy that parents could watch with their kids, and actually enjoy watching it. My sister and I are both in our twenties and we both love the show. At the same time there are so many things about Chowder that would captivate kids; its very imaginative.I haven't met anyone who's watched this show and not liked it, so to anyone considering buying this DVD, I fully recommend it. It is well worth the $10.

Chowder is really one of the greatest things to come along on Cartoon Network since Dexters Lab. It has a different and highly creative art style that is absolutly gorgeous. Not to mention that the show itself is hilarious and fresh. I already have both seasons downloaded through Zune, but buying the DVD's was a no brainer as soon as I heard about the widescreen format.It seems trivial but the full widescreen picture, which the show is originally made for, makes quite a difference even from the intro and you get to see all the beautiful lighting on the inner sides of the oven that you couldnt see before. Also, the picture quality itself is improved drastically over digital downloads, no more digital artifacts blurring up the screen during Chowders many random food transitions or fast sequences. The dvd looks amazing and crisp even on my 1080p TV being played off an xbox360. My only gripe is that you only get a few episodes per DVD, and the next installment isn't even due for another few months yet cruddy shows like Bakkugan are already on their 3rd dvd. Come on, CN don't hold out on us!

Cartoon Network's new series Chowder is the best cartoon since SpongeBob SquarePants (which is funny because this show is from one of SpongeBob's creators). This DVD will turn out to be a great one!From sources, the DVD is suposed to contain ten episodes from the series (whether that means 2 shorts = 1 episode or 1 sort is considered as one episode is unknown). Along with Total Drama Island, Chowder is one of the better cartoons out there (another good animated show is Skunk Fu!).Chowder is full of zany and entertaining characters. Mung Daal, Chowder's teacher in the art of food; Truffles, Mung's fairy wife; Ms. Endive, Mung's arch nemesis; Shnitzel, Mung's rock monster assistent; Panini, Chowder's girlfriend (even though he doesn't see it that way!); and many many more funny characters.My edvice, buy the DVD of Chowder Vol. One. It's worth the money and it is a great show. Buy and enjoy this series. Trust me, you'll have a good time.

All of season one,loved it.

Really good quality transfers, both audio and video. Strong, vibrant, and smooth.

This used to be one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network. It's a bit strange, but it fits with the quirky characters and colorful setting of the cartoon. So many quotes from this show are perfect to this day, and I was extremely saddened when they pulled the show off Cartoon Network. This is probably my second favorite only behind Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

RadaRadaRada with this dvd.Can never get enough chowder. Chockfull of nostalgic laughter to all fans.I remember seeing the show when it was fresh on tv. What a hoot!! the whole family loved it!!!It's too bad cartoon network canceled it, a show like this was taken down prematurely..because it was unique and stood out on its own, different & non conforming un-political correctness... and just healthy comedy for all ages.

My family absolutely LOVED Chowder and I love that it didn't have much potty/sarcastic/disrespectful humor that I feel is inappropriate for my little dudes. We really like Adventure Time and Regular Show but sometimes it can be a little much for younger kids. Chowder was the perfect in-between show for the out of Nick Jr. but not into tween shows category that my kids fall into. I wish CN would release the rest of the series.
