Reception and achievements
Reviews
Aaron H. Bynum of Animation Insider called Fanboy and Chum Chum "a fun show that deserves a good look. The quality animation helps counterbalance the immense amount of dialogue from the series' chatty characters, and the sheer comedy of marginally competent comic-loving kids helps outweigh what might otherwise be a binge of geeky annoyance. But overall, Fanboy and Chum Chum is a lot of fun." [2] Variety praised the series's "bright, energetic look and even an appealing premise in theory". [3] David Hinckley of NY Daily News gave the series three stars out of five, and said that "it's good [but] might not be next SpongeBob". [4]
A negative review came from KJ Dell'Antonia of Slate, who found the main characters irritating, and thought the whole concept was unoriginal, with "many tired jokes and not enough of that kind of mild satire to make this play in our house". [5]
Ratings
The series premiered on November 6, 2009, after the SpongeBob SquarePants film Truth or Square. [1] The broadcast ranked number three of cable programs that week and number two of the night.
