I love Johnny Bravo and try to pattern my life after him. I love to ask myself "what would Johnny do" and act accordingly. These cartoons are among my favorites on the Cartoon Network and almost always make me laugh. In particular, I loved the Scooby Doo and Johnny Bravo pairing as well as the takeoff on Schoolhouse Rock--what classics. However, after several years of wonderful episodes something happened. The art style changed, the stories got a lot weaker and Carl was gone!!! You can't have Johnny Bravo without nice and nerdy Carl to abuse--it's sort of like the 3 Stooges with only Larry--the chemistry is all wrong. My advice is watch all the older episodes and learn from the master--and ignore all those new so-called Johnny Bravo episodes.

I might have not seen every single episode of this show but I remember seeing a few. Like the christmas special episode.
It had some good voice acting including some guest stars. I know all shows must come to an end eventually but it does make me wonder if this show decided to go the One Piece/Sponge bob root who else would we have gotten in the show. Especially since there are a lot of great voice actors/actress in the voice acting industry which weren't around when this show was getting recorded.
Majority of the plot is just about Johnny trying to impress girls but failing at it and causing mayhem wherever he goes.
It also has a good theme song.
8/10

Great at first, and then disappointing

The beginning of Johnny Bravo was excellent, as many reviewers have already stated. Johnny knew kung-fu, had an awesome car and was truly the epitome of cool.
Somewhere along the way, however, things began to change. Now Johnny Bravo had to ride a tricycle because he couldn't drive, his taking kung-fu was just a gag for being beat up by children and no one truly liked Johnny anymore; instead he was just a whipping post for the town.
This seems to happen to a lot of good shows, particularly cartoons. Someone interprets the silliness and charisma that make a character click as "stupidity," and the series goes downhill.
What makes this more disappointing is that Johnny Bravo, in its original incarnation, was a true comedic treasure.

Johnny Bravo is one of the funniest cartoon shows in recent years. Spoof episodes (Like making fun of "School House Rock" and even the "Terror at 20,000 Feet" episode of the Twilight Zone) are by far the funniest.
My favorite is the one where Johnny gets a blind date over the internet and it turns out to be an antelope (like all animals on the show, the antelope can talk and is very anthropomorphic). I recommend this show to any "happening hipster" want to be's. A true accomplishment in its field.
"Your name must be Micky, cause you're so fine!"

Cartoon Network was my favorite cartoon channel when i was a kid, although this was back in the 90's and early 2000's. Today this channel isn't even worth looking at.
I'm gonna talk about Johnny Bravo, I haven't watched this cartoon in about 9 years but I still remember it like it was yesterday. Johnny Bravo is a 20 something,unemployed,muscular,blond haired,womanizing,momma's boy. I've always liked this show very much, because I found it somewhat different from all the other cartoon network shows. I heard there was a rumor going around that woman found this cartoon offensive, but hello it's a cartoon duh. The plot and characters are very original, it had some of the best jokes,the episodes were great, except for a few, but nothing's perfect. I felt bad for Johnny though he's a handsome guy, I never really understood why woman were always rejecting him. Most of the situations he gets into are Bizarre: beating up Santa Claus, forming a partnership with Adam West, going out with a vampire woman, going out with a female deer,going out with a werewolf-woman, and having Donny Osmond baby sit him. I'm happy that this show lasted 7 years. I miss this show very much :(

really really funny
asim34522-125 March 2008
this is one of the most funniest cartoons I have seen in my life. Every time I put this on and watch i laugh so hard I gasp for air. I love Johnny, the way he is always getting hurt by women. It is also very funny because Johnny is an idiot I mean in one of the series he's having an argument with Susan and says "next thing you know you'll say pigs fly" and in the top right corner you see three pigs flying across in the sky. Also in Johnny Bravo Chrsitmas movie where he tries to get to the north pole to give letters to santa, Susan says "I'll help you under one condition" Johnny answered "one"? Susan replies "one" then Johnny is silence for five seconds then says "that's less than five right"? and I laughed so hard I cried.
"Man I'm Pretty"- Johnny Bravo. Man this show is awesome!

When I think of that one line he would always say at the beginning of the show, I would immediately think about how great this show was. The show was hilarious, with Johnny Bravo being rejected by so many women and trying to be the hottest guy in the world. In case you don't know this show or the history of Cartoon Network, this is one of the "original cartoon cartoons" that first appeared in the 1990's. But I just sometimes wonder what the people at Cartoon Network are thinking these days about their line of shows. A lot of people say that it is now the worst channel on TV now, because they got rid off most of their original and good shows. I usually don't talk like this, but wake up Cartoon Network and take a good look at your rates! I am 80 to 100% sure that their popularity rates went down hill to the D- and E range. Bottom line, when Cartoon Network gets smart again and gets the original cartoon cartoons on, I predict the popularity rate will go up to the B+ and A range and I will watch Johnny Bravo on TV again.
This is a true classic if you have watched Cartoon Network in a long time.

Johnny bravo is one de funniest cartoons next to cow and chicken/i am weasel, ed edd n eddy,
*advice* there will be no spoilers, spoilers don't fit in my reviews.
In my opinion i mostly recommend watching 1 & 2 season, because if you watched the third season things will start change, there will be more music, it will still wacky but not as much season 1,2, and also Carl doesn't really appear that much in season 2 and 3.
Johnny Bravo still gets aired on Cartoon Network but sadly its only from 12 clock at night to sometimes 12.30 at night, in my area.

While Johnny Bravo is not above Dexter's Lab and Powerpuff Girls, I would say it's pretty darn close!! As little boys, we all wanted to be an mini Johnny Bravo because most of us believe that's what women like. But in the show, Johnny Bravo fails in every attempt to try to win a girl over. Giving us the belief of what NOT to do when trying to get a date. Even if you are a macho man with muscles of a god, or handsome features of a Bachelor. Adults will love this cartoon for it's inner adult humor as much as children who will love this cartoon for Johnny's personality and slapstick humor! One of Cartoon Network's best shows until today! India even praises this show!
Oh, mama!
guy_geoffroychateau7 February 2003
Yeah, Johnny Bravo rules!!! It's one of the coolest cartoons Cartoon Network ever showed. The stories had no serious subjects, and most of the things weren't very logical. Actually, nothing was logical. But that is the power of Johnny Bravo. But when the restaurant-owner Pops and the nerd Carl showed up, this cartoon went over the top. There came too much nonsense and wasn't very funny anymore. Besides, the music and drawing style changed, but it didn't get better, it got worse. Too bad, because in it's early days Johnny Bravo was the best!!!
10/10

A great Cartoon Network show from 1997-2004, despite Johnny Bravo being awesome he can be a butt monkey, the worst episode from the show was Johnny's Guardian Angel which this episode is similar to It's A Wishful Life an episode from The Fairly Oddparents.
Johnny Bravo...
ZetTheLegendaryHero12 April 2018
I love this show. The show has its roots in a short made by series creator Van Partible. This prototype for Johnny Bravo (called Mess O' Blues) is considered partially found media (on the Lost Media Wiki (https://lostmediawiki.com/Home)). This series is where Butch Hartman (creator of The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, Tuff Puffy, and Bunsen is a Beast) and Seth MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show) got their start. As can be expected from such talent on the team, the show is witty, funny, and all around awesome (I've got to find a new word to express my feelings).
The funniest Elvis impersonations ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Funny Cartoon Cartoon
GravityLoudHouseLover131 December 2015
Hello Everybody today I'm going to talk about Johnny Bravo which was a Show that ran on Cartoon Network From July 14,1997-August 27,2004 with four seasons and 178 episodes. Anyway this show is about dim-witted man named Johnny Bravo who tries to pick up girls or Chicks. The Show in Season 1 was great. Seasons 2 and part of 3 were OK but the Christmas Special was very funny. I love Johnny Bravo and you know Seth Macfarlane worked as a writer on this show before making Family Guy. Anyway my favorite episode is "Bravo Dooby Doo". Bottom Line: Johnny Bravo is great and gets a 10 out 10 stars. Anyway Happy New Years guy this is my last review of 2015. See You in 2016. BYE.
It was so good!

You know, I was a HUGE Johnny Bravo fan. It was an extremely witty animated program that (like Garfield and Friends, Anamainiacs, and Tiny Toons) was kind of a "satire 101" for my generation. I remember when I would look forward to every Friday night at 9 (?) because Johnny Bravo would come on. This blonde Elvis wanna be charmed the country with his hilarious attempt at love, then getting something shoved down his paints or a hard object over his head.
Then 2000 rolled around and with a new century came new characters, thus the demise of the Johnny Bravo I know and love. It was almost reincarnated as this awful mindless program that made Johnny look almost retarded. Of course they would put old Johnny Bravo in re-runs, for a while, but then they stopped. About a year ago I entirely gave up on The Cartoon Network (with the exception to Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hungerforce, Sealab 2021, and Harvey Birdman: A.A.L). The station that once brought classic and sometimes kind of edgy original cartoons, is now a mindless output system of mostly substandard anamie cartoons.
So in conclusion, please bring Johnny Bravo to its former, FUNNY self.

Witty, fun, original and well animated- shame it meandered over the years

Johnny Bravo in its glory days was a brilliant show that I watched religiously on Cartoon Network. The concept was simple, but very original. The show had great animation, clever music, a funny, likable and endearing protagonist in the name of Johnny Bravo, witty writing and fun story lines. Also I liked the side characters, Carl was a character who was funny and nerdy and I kind of felt sorry for him as he kept being the butt of the joke. Pops was also really funny, and Little Suzy was great, as was Johnny's mum.
Then over recent years, what happened? Carl and Pops were omitted, the animation was somewhat shoddier in comparison, the writing wasn't as funny and witty and some of the story lines were on the lame side. Though I still liked Johnny, the music and the voice acting. Speaking of the voice acting, everybody did a great job, but I have to say especially Jeff Bennett was perfect for Johnny, very hip and cool. Overall, while it meandered over recent years, it was a wonderful show in its glory days. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This is my first review of 4 years on here reviewing distractive media.
Any who...
Johnny Bravo was a funny fun show.
It's a good show after a long day to open up a can of sprite and chug while Johnny gets rejected by sleezy females.
Johnny is the definition of oxymoron. He has the look but the sleezy females don't want him. Sometimes they reject him for a geek.
The animation, voice work and stories are iconic.
Verdict: how ya Doin babba... Do you wanna scissor?

Johnny bravo making sexual harassment funny since 1997
williamaddiso26 October 2011
Johnny bravo is a Cartoon Network classic this show is immature, rude and hilarious. Johnny bravo is a fast paced short legged sexist self centered idiot who still lives with his mum/mom and thats why I love him (in a platonic way) in the adventures he has to quote pick up chicks he always ends up failing he is like the Charlie sheen of kids cartoons. I wouldn't recommend the show to any parents if you watch it you will see why. The greatest thing to about Johnny Bravo is watching it at a young age being completely oblivious of whats happening and waiting until your about 15 and realizing what you watched at a young age and laughing about what you watched and feeling awkward about whats happening but still has a kids cartoon feeling about it. overall its still great no matter how cheesy some parts are its a great show I would recommend it to any one... anyone who isn't a woman this show is great

After it's initial pilot episode on Hanna Barbera's 'What A Cartoon' Cartoon Network show, Johnny Bravo eventually became a fully fledged animated series, which chronicles the adventures of the Elvis sounding, big biceped, over-confident buffoon, his mother and Suzy and his appetite for the opposite sex. With guest appearances from the original 60s version of the TV series, Batman Adam West and the Scooby Doo gang to name, this show was a riot with each episode.
Witty, humorous and enjoyable fun, it was Hanna Barbera doing what they do best- and that is in creating and churning out hit after hit, creation after creation. Especially in the 90s. They did it with Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, and adding to that list, Johnny Bravo. The latter episodes weren't as good as the earlier ones, as the voice casting changed and thus, the show went downhill, afterwards.
You'll laugh at Johnny but on occasions, you will also laugh with him and his antics.
Such a shame that the cartoons we have nowadays are no where near as good as this 90s effort for example during the 60s, all the way to the late 90s.
But Johnny Bravo is definitely worth watching, so catch it if you can.

Last year was when I opted to watch at least 1 episode of 8 classic Cartoon Network shows, the ones everyone seemed to rave about. This was one of those 8 shows that didn't sit well with me, though wasn't as bad as some of the shows I saw as a kid. I managed to get through 1 1/2 episodes, but the plot is pretty predictable as Johnny Bravo, the main character always tries to sweet talk his way into getting a date with a pretty lady and ends up being sucker punched instead. He's also a bad Elvis Presley impression and seems to think of himself and only himself. I can't really see why this show is so heavily favored by fans. Though from the reviews, it seems I didn't miss out on anything with more recent episodes.
A very funny cartoon.
Karthik30 June 1999
This is a hilarious cartoon from the Cartoon Network. If you like "Dexter's Laboratory", you'll also like this. It has very good animation, and excellent voice work. The episode "Hip Hop Flop" has a very good song- performed by the "Round Pound" and Johnny Bravo!

hgwqhge0318 August 2013
this is the second cartoon cartoon and as a kid i hated it but this has changed, i really like this show, it has a very classic formula and it can be enjoyed by kids and adults as well my favorite episode of this show is when johnny bravo meets the SCOOBY DOO gang this show is funny original, the characters are funny and like able but you cant watch this show too much as it ALMOST ALWAYS has the same setup, johnny bravo is also kind of a pedophile because all he does is hang out with a girl scout but that is the magic of cartoons, you can make the weirdest things seem normal, i recommend watching this show highly,
Lessons for life, men don't act like him, women if u see a man acting like this RUN!

I miss the show

Johnny Bravo is one of my favorite shows, but Cartoon Network canceled the show despite how many fans there are. Cartoon Network only airs one episode now and that is the Christmas episode. In the Christmas episode, Johnny tries to deliver his letter and his mom's letter to Santa Claus. That is a good episode, but it sucks that it is the only episode that airs now, just around Christmas. I think that Cartoon Network should make new episodes or at least air the re-runs. The show is the best that Cartoon Network has ever aired. Ah, the old days of Cartoon Network mainly this show is what I miss. Johnny Bravo is funny, original, and has great animation.
I love it
Gryffhart1 June 2006
I'd never have expected myself to do so but I fell in love with Johnny Bravo. At first I thought it boring but the show evolved to be my new best friend as the new seasons came on and had me rolling in my seat. Its rather enjoyable with Johnny's daftness and his falling for every woman that I can't see why no one wouldn't like it if you can get the jokes. I really love that show and its humour, its worth anyone's twenty minutes in my opinion. And if Johnny doesn't have you laughing you can always rely on Carl and Pops, for their humour. And his mother is rather funny although you'll like her even more when she has scenes with Johnny. He's really captured my hear for a cartoon, I really pray they can keep it going.
