Parents need to know

Parents need to know that while this show has some violence, it also attempts, at times, to deliver messages about behavior. While appropriate for grade schoolers, the violence that does occur, such as a city-wide martial arts tournament in a recent episode, is not suitable for kids under seven.

Families can talk about many issues, such as: Can friends ever fight each other? How can one person best show his loyalty toward someone else? What is power and how can possessing an item such as a precious jewel make someone worthy?

What's the story?

Reviewed by Lori Silberman Brauner

The heroes of this program, Sonic, a royal blue-colored hedgehog, and his human friend, Christopher, team up to find the seven Chaos Emeralds. Sonic, Christopher, and their assortment of friends in Station Square clash repeatedly with Dr. Eggman, an obese villain with an arsenal of robots who wants to claim the emeralds for himself and conquer the world.

Is it any good?

While parents may snicker at phrases borrowed from the Oscars ("they like me; they really like me") and other one-liners, there is some redeeming value to this show. Kids will like the colorful characters, including two cuddly creatures, Cream and Cheese. With proper parental guidance, kids may even learn some lessons from the show.

While SONIC X is no Barney, its characters struggle with themselves in their own ways. (For example, in a recent episode, Christopher regrets that he didn't fight fairly in a tournament to win one of the seven emeralds.) And, while many movies and shows feature the age-old theme of world domination, Sonic X at least lets viewers know who should not be ruling the planet.

Great show for everyone.

At one time this show was the fastest growing on TV, and now, it is pretty much over with the story, but it still airs, and it is awsome. They do a good job at keeping the same plot running without getting boring (some seasons are all one plot), and it always is delivering something new (although the villains all try the same things normally). The comedy was well done too, and they didn't go overboard to get you to laugh, just went along with the characters moods (which are lifelike) and went from there. Violence, while present, isn't the point of the show. Generally it is how Sonic and his friends get along on earth, but the final season is pretty violent (and scary at times). Other than that, there is nothing to worry about except that maybe you wont like the fact that Knuckles and Amy loose their tempers a lot, but that is made up for by the family values supported at times. It also stresses friendship at the same time, and the characters can normally work as a team, except Sonic and Knuckles settle disputes by fighting. Overall this is a great show. Sure the last few episodes weren't all that great as they went overboard in trying to keep it going, but it was good (the final episode was awsome), and this can be watched by anyone, and everyone can enjoy it.

Sonic X is an OK Sonic TV show

Over the years, there have been several TV shows based on Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. Sonic X is the newest so far. I have to say, compared to older Sonic shows, I'm not fond of it. In this TV show, Sonic & friends basically get blasted into a world much like our own by a chaos control accident. Sonic quickly becomes friends with a human named Chris Thorndyke who has a rich family but is really bugged that his parents never spend time with him. Then all the Sonic characters go on a mad search to find all 7 chaos emeralds, transport back to their home planet (called Mobius in other media), and stop Dr. Eggman (who used to be called Dr. Robotnik in older Sonic games) from conquering the planet along the way. For Sonic fans, this TV show is a bit annoying. For one thing, Chris pretty much replaced Tails as Sonic's best friend. In Sonic X, Sonic & Tails barely even speak to each other while in the games they're supposed to be best pals. Also, in this TV show, I've only seen Tails fly by spinning his two tails like a propeller (like he does in the games) ONCE. Usually he flies in an annoying plane called the X-Tornado. Yes, I know, he flies planes in the games, but not THIS much! Also, some of the episodes have VEEERY stupid plots, such as Sonic's Scream Test (which was SO annoying that I couldn't bear watching it start to end, so I onnly just glimpsed). There are even more downsides than these for Sonic game lovers! However, the graphics are fantastic, humor is plentiful, and it isn't TOO violent. Overall, it's OK, but I prefer the 1993 Sonic the Hedgehog TV show, often refered to as SatAM. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

COOL SHOW FOR YOUNGER KIDS

A KIND OF NEAT SHOW THAT IS GOOD TO SEE EVERY SATRUDAY MORNING...BUT NOT EVERYDAY. SOME CHARACTERS DO TALK KIND OF "NAUGHTY" BUT IS IT ANY WORSE THAN WHAT THE KIDS ARE SAYING IN SCHOOL???!! AWFUL. ANYHOW, IT'S A GOOD SHOW AND A GOOD VIDEOGAME.

Neat show, too bad it's cancelled

Sonic X was such a great show on 4Kids TV. Not only the games were great, and the older Sonic cartoons (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Underground) were good, Sonic X was one of the greatest Sonic cartoons ever!!! I did hear rumors about another season of Sonic X in the works (in Japan), I know that Sonic may come back soon, but until then, have fun watching Viva Pinata, Chaotic, Nanalan', Danger Rangers, Franny's Feet, Mr. Meaty, Kirby, and so much more until Sonic comes back.
