    I rate this title on for age 5 and give it 1.0

    It's just a complete horrible show. It may be for young kids but the shows they use to show in the 90's actually had a better plot and story. This show is too stupid and fast passed it gives me headaches. It's clearly a water downed version of the show "Dexter's Lab" that is the show your kids should watch instead. This show can only appeal to little kids or idiots and if your kids see this they will eventually become an idiot by watching this piece of trash. Now I am sure there is good points but after watching one episode I got a headache from it and can't think of any good points. Don't take my word for it once you watch Dexter's Lab this you will realize Johnny Test is one of the horrible shows on Cartoon Network. Johnny Test was made to manipulate little children's mind because this show appeals to dumb idiotic plots but the show is just too idiotic.

    Great for kids, not much for the younger crowd.

    I LOVE this show. Some parents might not like the 'sneaky' parts in the show like turning Johnny, the main character, into a caveman, woman, and other stuff which might make kids who love science a bad idea.
