ChalkZone: The Complete Series

Remember Oh Yeah! Cartoons? It was an anthology series by Nickelodeon. Much like the What a Cartoon show for Cartoon Network, it was used to test pilots for new cartoons (it was how Cartoon Network hits like Dexter's Lab and the Powerpuff Girls started). As far as I know, there were 3 shorts that were turned into series; The Fairly Odd Parents (which seems to be spotty; the few episodes I've seen range from hilarious to horrible), My Life as a Teenage Robot (which I haven't seen yet but really want to see as the original short was one of my favorite episodes), and of course this wonderful little cartoon. Funnily enough, the very first cartoon that Oh Yeah! Cartoons ever showed was Chalkzone (it's included as a flashback in the first episode). I loved it so much that it ensured that I would watch it whenever I could lest I miss another gem like that one (and there were some other great episodes that really should have been made into shows, like the brilliant fairy tale/X-Files mash-up F-Tales and the incredibly funny Dan Danger Show). I was always happy whenever they showed another Chalkzone short. When I saw that it got its own series, I was ecstatic. I loved it, from the opening (which is by far the greatest opening to any Nicktoon ever) to the unique art style to the cute, creative and funny stories. I have waited a long time for this to come to DVD, and I still would rank it in my top 5 Nicktoons. It's not as laugh-out loud as Angry Beavers, Kablam! or Rocko's Modern Life and it's certainly nowhere near as awesome as the Avatar series (at least until season 2 of Korra; I'm sorry but aside from the 2 episodes about the origin of the Avatar I think that season is mediocre), but apart from those I would rank it over every other Nicktoon (you can keep Rugrats and Doug; I liked them when I was a kid but I can't stand them now). Sure, the songs are pointless for the most part and the execution could be better at times, but there's always something about the stories that stands out. Even as a kid I could have told you that this show had more heart than that new (at the time) one about the talking sponge. Sigh, to think I thought that one wouldn't last very long. But at least now I finally have Chalkzone on DVD, as well as all my other favorite Nicktoons (Avatar, Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life and the Wild Thornberrys), except for Oh Yeah Cartoons and Kablam! Seriously, why hasn't Nick done MOD DVDs for those shows? I would buy Kablam! in a heartbeat, and eventually I would have to get the complete Oh Yeah! Cartoons series. Not every short was good, but that's to be expected in an anthology show. Like I said, there were some truly outstanding shorts. My favorite episodes are so good that a complete set would still be a vital part of my Nicktoon collection. Anyways, I still love this show and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Boy does this show bring back memories. I loved watching this show when I was 10, and I love it even more watching it as an adult. This show helped steer me towards my eventual love of sketching, and showed me just how far creativity will take you if you strive toward it. The show itself may not be for everyone if you didn't grow up on it like I did, but the show itself is great for anyone with a young one that has taken a deep interest in any kind of drawing, really. I'm sorry that isn't very descriptive, but I bought this purely off nostalgia and I'm enjoying it all over again.When it comes to shipping/packaging, the product arrived on time with no issues and I am very satisfied with what I received.

Brings back my childhood that I can now share. Didn't remember how awesome the intro was either so it's like watching it again for the first time.Packaging was normal, no defects that can be seen. It sort of paused on its own in the middle of an episode once but didn't do it again.All in all great price and quality.

This was a good series. It brought me back to my childhood, and the episodes are in good quality. The only thing I do not like is the fact that the DVD's are in DVD Rom format, where the menu is not the same, but it's still a great series, and great quality sold by Amazon! Thank you, Amazon, for putting this out!!!!

Great little blast from the past all in one DVD case. You'll enjoy seeing this gem again and introducing it to your kids. And now you won't have to break out the old VCR to do it.! I just wished Nickelodeon had all their old movies and TV shows like this, but unfortunately a lot of them were lost in the vault. Disney too☹️

This is a show I only got to see occasionally as a child and then completely forgot about for years until I fondly remembered it recently and decided to buy this set to revisit and further explore it, and boy am I glad I did! This was AMAZING!! So imaginative, so bizzare, and so much fun! I'd easily recommend this to any Nickelodeon fan (especially the hardcore fans who believe nothing good can come from Nick after the 90's). - Jacob L.

It’s a great kids tv show. It keeps the kids interested and I’m okay watching it with them. Works great. Would definitely recommend!

My kids loved watching this show as kids. Now that they are grown. They can watch it again.
