What Parents Need to Know
About Chowder
Parents need to know that although there's nothing that iffy about this somewhat bizarre cartoon, there's not much overtly positive content, either. The three flawed main characters are a flighty cooking apprentice who never suffers repercussions from his constant kitchen mishaps (which result from his own rash actions), a supportive but unrealistically patient mentor, and an under-appreciated employee whose reliability is often taken for granted. A one-sided love interest depicts a young girl as pleading and desperate for attention from her crush, goofy cartoon violence doesn't result in lasting injury, and potty humor includes references to body odors and scenes of vomiting.

my opinion
i think it's an ok show as long as the kids don't resort to acting innapropiate. i think all mothers think that.
- I rate this title on for age 2 and give it
Everyone can watch it
this is such an awesome show. It's simple, clean and funny.
- I rate this title on for age 5 and give it
ok for little kids
It is not educational but it is a funny show and very entretaining. There is nothing that concerns me. Like some people would say that one of the charicters always tries to kiss another charicter but I know that little kids would be like "ew" and then laugh
