Back in the late 2000's, a Nicktoon called The Mighty B! premiered on Nick, which was about a rambunctious little 9 year-old named Bessie Higgenbottom who was led to believe that if she collects every badge, then she'll turn full-blown superhero! The Mighty B! was a cartoon I really liked when I was younger. I'd watch it all the time with my siblings! We'd wake up early on Saturday mornings and enjoy this show. It was a real treat to me, I REALLY enjoyed it. I treasure every precious childhood memory this show brings back. I used to even draw Bessie and Happy! But what I do remember is the show being REALLY underrated! Everyone would complain saying it's a SpongeBob/Ren & Stimpy knock-off, overuse of bathroom humor and lackluster animation. I disagree though, this show was extremely excellent to me. I just find it really compelling for some reason. It just has that Hanna-Barbera, Saturday morning cartoony feel that makes me love it so much. I still watch it now when I want to cheer myself up! I remember liking the first season more than the second season, though. The first season had more focus on Bessie earning badges, and only got off focus sometimes. The animation on the first season was tame. But on season 2 the show drastically changed and redesigned the entire cast and setting. Everyone looked more tan and the backgrounds were completely different and looked more urban rather than wooden. The animation on the second season got more energetic and wild, and less characters started coming (where was Rocky in Season 2?!?) It kinda reminded me when Chris Savino redesigned Dexter's Lab on Seasons 3-4. All in all, Mighty B was a great show and I really miss it! It's one of my favorite Nicktoons, along with El Tigre, Catscratch, ChalkZone and Teenage Robot! What are your thoughts on Mighty B?
