This is Butch Hartman's next show after FOP, Danny Phantom, and TUFF Puppy. Nickelodeon has been going downhill since 2009. All the years before then were awesome. 2006-2008 were meh. 2009 ruined Nickelodeon. After then, Nick still had good shows: House of Anubis, The Legend of Korra, Robot and Monster, Penguins of Madagascar, Victorious, All In With Cam Newton, Legendary Dudas, Paradise Run, The HALO Effect, 100 Things To Do Before High School, Harvey Beaks, and Miraculous Ladybug, but they were all canceled for no good reason. Meanwhile, everything else was mediocre or just sucked. Not to mention great shows like iCarly, Spongebob, and Fairly OddParents went downhill. The only good shows we have now are Spongebob (it got better), TMNT, Ride, Power Rangers, The Loud House, and Bunsen is a Beast. This show is great, its like Ready Jet Go for older kids, but with some toilet jokes, cartoon slapstick, and bullies. Oh, and BIAB isn't about space like RJG. Bunsen is like Jet because they're both strange creatures from another world, and are perpetually happy and love everyone. Mikey and Darcy are like Sean and Mindy because they're humans and friends of the protagonists. Mikey and Sean are alike because they're smart, adorable, and wear green. Darcy and Mindy are alike because they're both adorable little girls. Sophie Sanders and Sydney are also alike. Amanda Killman and Mitchell Peterson are alike because they both hate the protagonist and their friends, and want to get rid of them. Anyway, Bunsen is a Beast is one of Nickelodeon's saving graces, due to being sort of a throwback to great classic Nick cartoons, and it provides clever social commentary on racism. Think about it. Bunsen is the first beast in an all-human school. Beasts and humans have never got along and have never went to the same school. Everyone at school, is weirded out by Bunsen, but Mikey, Darcy, and Sophie are kind and accepting of him. Amanda bullies Bunsen, because he's a beast, but Bunsen is nice to her back. This show promotes acceptance, kindness, diversity, and champions the right to be different. Plus, it doesn't promote bullying like the other Nickelodeon shows, (I'm looking at you, The Thundermans) because Amanda always gets punished for her actions and the main characters don't torture or abuse others for fun Plus, the plots are creative, silly, fun, and easy to follow for little kids. It has lots of great jokes and pop culture references. The animation style is AMAZING, even if it is animated in Flash. It has a style distinct from all of Butch Hartman's other shows, creative character designs, and Gorgeous looking backgrounds. It has very few toilet jokes, which is great because Nick puts tons of toilet humor into their cartoons into their shows nowadays. I definitely recommend this show.
