I'm a huge fan of Butch Hartman's work. I remember when this was first green-lit, and then seeing it was made by Butch Hartman? I was stoked! So I've watched some of the episodes... I think it's a good show, but it has some minor issues.
I like the 2 main characters, Bunsen and Mikey both really care and look out for each other. A complaint I see a lot are the voices. Personally, I think their voice fit all of them well, but they do however scream a lot, which imo can be a bit annoying. Also, it's animated in flash... I think flash is smooth and it's cheaper, but it just looks, unprofessional... I think flash may be the new way of animating shows, so get over it. I also LOVE the "Tex Avery" cartoon-I-ness to the show!
My main complaints are Ms. Flap, Amanda, and the jokes. I really don't like Ms. Flap, she just yells weird lines and jokes. and Amanda? She just doesn't feel like a good antagonist. If they elaborated on the fact that Beasts are evil, she would have more of a leg to stand on, but they didn't. Also the jokes are just random. Some jokes are funny, just some of the jokes pop out of nowhere and kinda make no sense.
So Bunsen is a Beast, its definitely one of Nicks better shows (Better than those crappy sitcoms am I right?) I just feel like it could've been better. Remove the random jokes and prove that beasts are truly evil so that Amanda would make more sense, and this show would definitely be Nicks #1 show!
EDIT: The recent episodes imo have been gradually improving, it's definitely a good show. Reading YT comments, I often see people complaining about the show for these minute issues, I personally think it's a good show for what it is! It upsets me seeing how much the show is disliked... please don't watch with high expectations, it's just a cute comedy :)
