Anyone else watching TUFF* Puppy? I avoided it at first, like most "kiddie" cartoons, but watched an episode and laughed. It's a secret agent type of show, somewhat Get Smart-like but even more over the top.

The intro song is reminiscent of Secret Agent Man.

Love the main enemy group's name: D.O.O.M. (Diabolical Order of Mayhem), headed by Verminious Snaptrap (he's a giant rat). If I was into playing villains I'd so use that first name.


* TUFF stands for Turbo Undercover Fighting Force

I've seen a few eps off an on. Plays on YTV up her in Canada. It has it moments.

The Chamelon always gives me a chuckle.

I never could get into it. The sillyness of the show didn't make me laugh in the first few episodes. Also, my sister hated the fact that the specially trained secret agent cat was useless for them, with the second half of the first episode literally having her needing to be carried around.

Agent Kitty Katswell? She's the main reason the pair succeed. Puppy is usually pretty dumb, sometimes too dumb, but has his moments (flashes of brilliance or dumb luck) which is why the agency keeps him. Perhaps the episode you saw had her incapacitated for some reason; I don't recall it.

I saw the Iron Mutt episode. It is one of the better ones. It is a hit or miss type of show, for me at least, but with more hits than misses.

I personally like the show, but I seem to be bias towards Butch Hartman's work. Watched Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom almost religiously during my middle and high school years

I'm okay with the show, it's watchable and gives out a few chuckles, but to me it really seems to reek of executive meddling. Just the way the concept for the show is and how Butch handled Danny Phantom with such a wonderful mix of serious and humorous scenes, I just get the feeling he presented the show differently and it was turned to what it is now, which is just a lot of 'whacky' jokes and antics aimed at a very young audience. Which, is no surprise. People see cartoon critters and they immediately think 'little kids'.

I just think it's a step down from the bar Hartman set with Danny Phantom. It's cute and watchable but it's pretty much purely kiddie comedy without any sort of sly or clever humor for older audiences. It's not as bad as say, Planet Sheen, that caters to the ADD among the wee, but it's just not smart enough to really make me -want- to watch it. Honestly I don't see it lasting that long
