Not very imaginative
This is just the same nonsense cartoon just different characters with more potty language. I don't know why so many cartoons have to use such bad language. There has to be better writers with better imaginations out there somewhere!

This is so underrated.
This is one of most underrated shows ever! The animation is nice and the joes are funny.Also guys,this show is not a cross rip off of Dexter's Labratory and Johnny Quest! It's just very simalar to those 2 shows! So overall,I think people should give this show a chance.

A great show, once I gave it a chance
At first I didn't watch this show because it looked too "cartoony". Then I actually watched it (because the theme song sounded exactly like a Ramones song) and realized this show was fun to watch. So much is going on in each eleven minute episode, you don't quite notice the parents' role reversal, how the girl geniuses gush over the hot neighbor boy who only talks to Johnny, and the admittedly less-than-perfect animation. In fact I am surprised by the negative reaction this show has gotten here by kids. It's a cartoon, of course there will be stock characters and situations. But this show's frantic pace makes it entertaining. And it has a talking dog! I really don't see anything that would give parents any concerns. I didn't notice any questionable language. I think it's a great show for kids!

Alright, but boring
Firstly, I just don't like this show... there's nothing too bad about it.. But that wont let me make things up about it, will it? The only thing I don't like about this show is how much greed there is in it. Johnny gets everything he wants through tantrums and lying. He doesn't really earn anything he gets. The parents get rather greedy as well, and all the ''lessons'' they learn are twisted out of proportion. All and all, it's pretty repetitive and boring... kind of like scooby doo.

Cartoon Network..... just with a LOT more water in the recipe.
Okay, now as anyone will tell you who's been around to remember 1990-2004 or so... Cartoon network has been a mainstay of lazy saturday afternoons and that hour or so before catching the bus for school. The shows were enjoyable enough, and while the writers weren't perfect, they didn't take themselves so seriously. Well.... here we have Johnny Test. An obvious gender swap/role reversal ripoff of Dexter's lab. I have no problem with "black box" Science (as in they never explain the near magic that goes on due to their experiments), but the fact is they TRY explaining it, feigning intelligence and teaching impressionable kids things they'd actually believe. There goes whatever biology class they may have been taking. As well.... I understand the point of a catchphrase, it's a mainstay of these shows for a laugh or two... but good god how many times can you hear "didn't see that coming" and think to yourself, how are his sisters geniuses at all? Common sense is a large part of the scientific process, or did the writers forget that in lieu of "plot"? The biggest annoyance though... is that for all the continuity they TRY to enforce, and all of the writing they TRY to make cohesive, their animation is so bad. I mean, if this were some high schooler's project with flash and after effects, sure I could see it. We all start somewhere, but how many times are they going to just resize a hand to substitute movement of the fingers? Or animate snow with a badly done flash particle? This is a perfect example of why technology is ruining entertainment, and that people are slowly accepting less and less as writing. I await being an old man watching his grandchildren laugh at grunting 3D Cubes for 2 minutes, because a whole 12 minute episode can't keep their attention long enough.

Awful
This show is terrible....just...terrible. I mean, the sisters spend half of the time chasing after some jock dream boat, who for the most doesn't acknowledge their existence. Yet they go through great lengths to get his attention, including inventing absurd....borderline mental things....to win his affection. Yet, they consistently alienate people who genuinely care for them. What kind of message does that teach children? It's ok to do what you ever you'd like, to get what you want? No thank you.

HORRIBLE.
This Show is terrible, and i hate it, its so stupid and a rip offs of Scooby Doo, and Dexter's Lab. The Jokes are so corny and not even funny and the words are being over used so many times, "woooaaah didnt see that coming" and "Say wha" its not funny and I wish this show never existed, to me its a bad example for kids. The animation is very lazy, crappy, and I give a freakin 0 of everything this shows have. DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW.

shame...
I wouldn't classify this as inappropriate, but unoriginal. In all my years of watching cartoons this would probably be the worst. This show brings a shame to animation, comedy, and cartoons. The plot is just terrible! and the skits are even worse.
