I Am Weasel (1997–1999)
9/10
Probably the best Cartoon Network show they ever produced...

I am not knocking down JOHNNY BRAVO nor COW AND CHICKEN. In fact I loved them in my childhood and also today at 24 when I re-watch them occasionally on re-runs. But I think that I AM WEASEL takes the humour of those two other shows and brings it to a higher level - one that is accessible to everyone regardless of their age.

Synopsis: I Am Weasel (voice by Michael Dorn) is a lovable, clever and genial weasel that has success in lots of things while I R Baboon (voice by Charlie Adler) is a stupid baboon that is inept in most things and every time he tries to help, he causes more damage and havoc.

Most of the episodes are about these frenemies' relationship and some of my favourites are: HAPPY BABOON HOLIDAYS (when I R Baboon's parents end up frozen and I M Weasel that takes him in his home causing I R being angry towards Christmas), LAW OF GRAVITY (when I R becomes a court counselor and edits the law of gravity transforming lawyers in every thing he can think at that moment), I M BELLHOP (when I R thinks that the elevator door is mischievous and forces the door throwing the luggage of a lady, and soon after making the elevator stop he bites the ropes and makes the elevator fall underground) and A TROO STORE (when after all the world's animals leave writing and I R is the only one left but the book written by him makes everybody except I M dumb).

The animation is colorful and good on par with that of the other two Cartoon Network shows and the soundtrack adds a lot to every crazy thing I R does. And I think that it deserves to be more recognized than it actually is because it always make me laugh when I re-watch it, probably because it has the sort of humour I like.
