Mr. Men cartoon series (also known as "(The) Mr. Men Show")

I guess I had always a thing for Mr. Men. I remember my first Mr. Men book was "Mr. Slow." I also remember reading Mr. Men books when I was a pre-teen at school to improve my reading skills. I remember a lot of things about Mr. Men, but at the time, I had no idea that Mr. Men would have their very own TV series. Yes, that's right, a TV show that mainly features a few skits per episode. This actually makes a lot of sense, because the characters are rather wacky: Mr. Rude will usually insult other characters for seemingly no reason; Mr. Bump, and Little Miss Calamity are usually attacked, and/or hurt, regardless of what ever they may be doing; and Mr. Happy of course is always happy, and sometimes trying to appear to be happy when he is in fact in another mood. Those were just to name a few. The TV series is rather different to books the show it is based on. For one thing, the books would usually have a moral of some sort, where as in the TV series there is no moral, or no so-called educational material to learn from. Another thing would be that the TV series has a rather dark-tone, such as the Mr. Bump, and Miss Calamity skits are mildly violent. Most skits in the show often feature more than one character. Some skits feature regular groups of characters, such as Mr. Bump, and Miss Helpful; Mr. Messy, and Mr. Pernickety; and don't forget Mr. Small, and Mr. Nosey. While it is nice to see these regular groups of characters, these skits can sometimes get fairly predicable at times. Even if the skits are a little predicable, they are still pretty funny and entertaining. Even some of the jokes that repeat themselves often, some of the repeating jokes are still funny such as Mr. Rude farting out loud after making a "I'll give you..." comment. The show also features music-videos usually based on the certain theme of an episode. At least half songs/ music is very catchy, and fun to listen to. Oh, one last thing every episode has a certain theme such as the farm, or the beach. I enjoyed the Mr. Men's wacky adventures, and I think anyone who has enjoyed the Mr. Men books should also enjoy this cartoon.

Good: The Mr. Men are well suited for doing comedy skits; The Mr. Men characters have a simple style to them, making it easy for fan to draw their favorite characters; Skits are often funny; Songs, and Music can be catchy; The show's dark tone is a good move, allowing some interesting things to happen to a character.
Bad: A few of the skits are somewhat predicable; voice acting sometimes lacks emotion.

My score for: (out of 10)

The skits: 8
The music-videos: 7
The writing, and characters: 8

Total Score for this TV Show: 8
