"Chowder" [Greenblatt, 2007] Season 2 [Oct. '08- Jul. '09] [TV-Y7-FV]

This extraordinarily funny and well-executed show, created by an ex-SpongeBob and Billy&Mandy crew-member, combines the exuberance of Phineas & Ferb with the near-utter plotlessness of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, while being nearly as funny as either of these two shows in their prime, and also being about an inexperienced, perpetually hungry, puerile kid chef (the title character) working for a professional one ("Mung Daal"), in addition to his other, older, more experienced assistant/employee ("Shnitzel"). It is an enormous success, and deserves all the positive IMDB ratings, award nominations and more-- little weaker (or stronger) here than in the first season. Grade: A
