I admit I don't care for "Codename: Kids Next Door" in the least bit,every single character on this show is un-funny and annoying.I can see why little kids like this show,but how funny is the same "kids vs. adults" over and over again ? This is another example of how cartoon network once again takes a short and turns it into a god-awful TV series,another example is the horrid "The Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy"."Codename: Kids Next Door" is also another example of a kids show that has great animation but mediocre writing,will it kill CN to spend money on both ? In general,what the hell has happened to Cartoon Network ? They show live action movies now,they have tons of crappy anime like "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" and crappy cartoons like "Totally Spies" ,all the good originals they had like "Cow and Chicken" are gone,and all the classic cartoons have completely vanished.

I'm exceedingly annoyed with this series like you wouldn't believe. To its credit, it has an interesting vision. I mean you've got kids acting like super agents with makeshift weapons taking on bizarre situations like a giant bus that looks like a Star Wars Imperial Walker. But the whole show is just so weird, and everybody's a freaking cliche. The adults are cliches. The teenagers are cliches. And the main characters just grate on my nerves. Despite what the premise says, this show doesn't show all adults as being evil. I suppose that's a good thing. But what can you make of a show where one of the villains is called Count Spankula? The final straw came when Cartoon Network used this show to plug up Dragon Hunter's time slot, and they show this miserable cartoon enough times anyway.
