Carl Harvey (CH) Greenblatt had been a writer for The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy when he submitted a pitch to Cartoon Network for his own series.
Chowder, however, lasted three seasons (2007-10), with the 3rd season cut short at just 9 episodes for a variety of reasons known only to the network. Greenblatt then moved his tack to Nickelodeon to develop Harvey Beaks, and has returned to WarnerMedia, this time, as we discussed yesterday, to develop Jellystone, which would be the Hanna-Barbera equivalent of The Looney Tunes Show, with the cast of Yogi's Gang now living in the same community.
Chowder was designed with a mix of traditional and flash animation, coupled with some puppets and stop motion animation. El bizarro, man.
Chowder is but a child as the series begins, age unknown. However, Greenblatt wrapped up his story in the final season with a trip to the future. Few cartoons can boast having a finite ending.
Full episodes are not available on YouTube, so we'll settle for this sample clip:
Like, totally weird. Not my cup of tea.
Rating: C.
