He's gonna catch em all cause he's DANNY PHANTOM!
When I was little, I wasn't really into this show. Now that I'm older, I love it now! It has some violence, but it's all cartoonish. This is a good show! But they don't make any new episodes anymore, however you are able to watch reruns on the Nicktoons Channel! If you like The Fairly Odd Parents and T.U.F.F. Puppy, you would like this show as well!

The first two season are more intelligent...
Original and entertaining (depending on the episode). I really like how the early DP episodes had Danny/Sam/Tucker THINKING THROUGH their problems (it's nice to see a normally intelligent character in a cartoon once in a while). Maybe parents would have a problem with Danny/Jazz/Tucker/Sam's frequent lying problem, but I think that Danny's parent's reaction (Hey, look! They HATE ghosts, but still love and accept their son (and are willing to forgive VLAD!!!, up to a point) after they learn he's a half-ghost. That's rather unusual for 99.9% of 'child-hides/has-fantastical-secret/power' entertainment. Harry Potter/Neverending Story, I'm looking at YOU.) makes it OK for some children. 'Misplaced aggression' could also be a problem for some parents... Danny DOES have frustrations and problems like any other child, and will sometimes take them out on unfriendly ghosts. Luckily, this is usually not portrayed positively.

Danny Phantom is the first superhero cartoon on Nickelodeon. Young Danny Fenton has a family with a ...um... obsession with ghosts. But then they make a machine to communicate with ghosts. When the machine doesnt work, Danny takes a look inside. Then his DNA is mixed with ghost DNA. He has to cope with school and controlling his powers.

A Breath of Fresh Air
Despite what another reviewer here has said about this show, I find "Danny Phantom" to be a refreshing change from the standard glop of cartoon fluff that is so common on Nickelodeon and other kids' channels these days. While in the classic "superhero" genre (which does mean physically fighting bad guys), the reasons behind the conflicts are noble and worth teaching to kids: protecting your loved ones; saving and rescuing your friends from danger; standing up for what you know is right, even in the face of tremendous odds. Other positive messages abound in this show: putting the welfare of others before yourself, how to deal with bullies in a school setting (without becoming one yourself), learning to never give up. While some of the action sequences may be too intense for very young children (younger than 3 or 4 perhaps), kids of all ages will be able to understand and appreciate the real message of the show: the importance of fighting for what is right.

This is a great show!
Danny Phantom is one of my favorate shows. It is funny, and the main character (Danny) is a good person. I won't argue that there are fight scenes, but keep in mind the show is rated TV-Y7. Still, I think it is a good show anyway.

a great show!
What's wrong with DannyPhantom? Nothing I say - sure there is violence in the show but that in almost all superhero cartoons and movies. Sure I'd say it's not for kids like 3 or maybe 4 but most kids like the show!I like it's great!

Pretty good
This show is pretty inventive for kids stuff. It's pretty good.There aren't any really sensitive issues here, except for some violence here or there, but other than that it's pretty darn good. Social issues are also covered well, and when Danny's not kicking ghost butt, he's just a regular person. Well written stuff.

A great show
I personally love Danny Phantom. It is a great show, for many reasons. The show doesn't revolve around violence and fighting, it's simply a show about a fourteen year old boy struggling to fit in. Some of his trials are bullies, jealousy, and friends fighting. The creator of the show, Butch Hartman, is well known for Fairly Odd Parents, and I assure you he would never want to add content that isn't sutable for children. I say that Danny Phantom is suitable for children, and is a must-see.

I Love it
There's practically no violence in Danny Phantom. The reason his eyes turn green is because he turns into a ghost and it makes it look cooler. As for his personality being more aggressive, it's not like that. He turns into a ghost when he needs to, so obviously he's gonna start attacking the villain when he can use his ghost powers rather than nothing at all. Danny's personality doesn't completely change either. He stil acts the same as normal when he's in ghost mode but not fighting. There's no real "potty humor" or whatever. You say "the rush to violence overshadows the good aspects of the series. Death threats, torture, knives, violence against women are commonplace on this show." None of that's true. And... "There is no opportunity to work things out." Well that's because it would defeat the whole purpose of the show! There's even an episode where Danny (in GHOST mode...) says "I don't want to fight you" You say "Danny is either a coward or a hero -- there is no in between." Uh.. i just gave youu an example... "He either fights or perishes, which is a heavy choice for a sensitive guy." Well, if you had the choice to fight or perish what would you do? I just HAVE to say all of this... to possibly change your mind about this show. What I'm saying is that this is a really important issue to me. I really don't like it when people over-exaggurate stuff like this. After all, it is just a cartoon.

I love this show and tons of others do too. There's no real violence. Even kids 5 yrs old could watch this. There is nothing wrong wit it.

Disappointing, don't you think?
After seeing The Fairly Oddparents, this show isn't too good. Lots of stereotypes in the show, but what do you expect... it is television. Yeah the show is ok but it isn't funny and/or exciting as many other shows along the same line.

Danny Phantom Rocks!!!!
I think this show is okay for kids. It doesn't have any bad language or anything. I do admit it has violence, but they hardly ever show any fist or foot contact. This show is probably going to scare young kids and sensitive people, but it is otherwise perfectly fine. You have said that Danny (the title charicter) is more agressive in his ghost mode (The PROPER term for his "phantom persona"), but this isn't necessarily true. in fact, in the episode "Bitter Reunions", he stood up to the villain (IN GHOST MODE) and said "I don't want to fight you". You also have said that there are death threats. the only time Danny was threatend was in the episode "One Of A Kind". There are also pretty much no guns or knives, and there isn't womanizing! (You said "...Violence toward women is commonplace in this show.") Therefore, I beleive this is a great show, and there isn't anything wrong with it. I think that you should at least watch it yourself instead of just jumping to conclusions. like I said already, this show is fine. It's not broken, so why should it need fixing?
