Of course I don't think it is as good as "The Woody Woodpecker Show", which is a classic. But I love this show, I used to watch it every day I got home from primary school all the way up to year 7. Some of the episodes are a little on the corny side and some go a little too fast, but the animation is of fluid, colourful quality, there is a fun theme tune and some very interesting gags. I also like the characters and the voice acting. I have always liked Woody, and he is great fun, especially with his iconic laugh, which I still imitate, and Wally the Walrus was funny. I remember having a spot spot for that adorable little penguin Chilly Willy too.

Overall, I enjoy this show, it isn't as good as the 1957 classic show, but it is a considerable improvement over most cartoons airing now. 8/10 Bethany Cox

One of many attempts by Fox Kids to recapture the success of Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures after the Warner Bros. produced properties relocated to Kids WB with the launch of The WB network, The Woody Woodpecker Show is the Animaniacs formula but using Walter Lantz's cartoon stable produced for Universal in the 1940s(with the exception of Andy Panda who I don't recall ever appearing on the show) with original material produced by Universal Cartoon Studios(who also gave us a plentathra of Balto, Land Before Time, and American Tail DTV movies). Much like Fox Kids' other attempts to recapture Animaniacs success, Toonsylvania and The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper, The Woody Woodpecker Show copies the format from its inspirational source, but can't match the wit,writing, and timing. Technically speaking the show is well animated with fluid motion and decent character designs, but the humor is much more scattershot with some gags eliciting a chuckle while others fall flat. In terms of shows that tried to tap into the zeitgeist that gave rise to Animaniacs and Tiny Toons, The Woody Woodpecker Show is nowhere near as good as its inspiration but it's also not as bad as The Wacky World of Tex Avery. The show does have a few moments of humor here and there, but if superior products are readily available you're not missing much.

This show is pretty good! The animation is fluid and can be fast paced sometimes, the voice acting and line delivery are all great. There are problems like how the characters and plot can feel a bit "Been There Done That" with other shows, but it's overall a good show.

I literally watch this on YouTube kids and I like it. The characters are neat despite woody and Wally's annoying voices. But at least Wally's wasn't as bad as the goes to camp film which I gave a 4/10. My fav episodes were the pirate and the vending machine. In my opinion, title cards are pretty underrated, they give the mood of what you're going to watch. They have some great title cards even though they don't give the mood but they are still an A-. This show deserves more attention as if you're a big woody woodpecker fan, you would love it at best and find it mediocre at worst. And in that vending machine episode, there is ugly woody which looks pretty meemy to me.

At first glance it may look like a show that's for kids, but it's still really funny even if I'm not a kid anymore (although I still am a Children's show fan.. hehe). Anyways, Woody Woodpecker still doesn't cease to amaze me and make me laugh. Imagine, he now is a cartoon character and he still is funny! Even with just the voice! I think that the show is also a good idea because there can only be one woody Woodpecker and once he gets too old, he might not be able to portray Woody anymore, but in cartoons, he can last forever! :D Bravo!

I'm not sure why they're are so many troll reviews of this on this site(look at the accounts) like 3 of them were made to downvote this show.

This hidden gem cameout during the end of the fox kid's life span so it's no wonder it's not as fondly as remembered but the quality of the show speaks for itself, First of this show LOOKS AMAZING has great animation some of the best you'll see for a tv production with some episodes almost being movie quality in fluidity. 2nd show is freaking hilarious man I wanna give a specific shoutout to the guy who voices wally walrus because is screams of agony rival tom from tom and jerry that sh! T had me dying of laughter. But yeah the 90's was chalked full of classic cartoons from the 40-50s getting new and innovation reinventions from the 90s casper cartoon to, batman tas, "Th New Woody Woodpecker Show" fits right in. Every character in this show is downright hilarious from woody's bum, freeloader attitude on life, to miss meanie's constant agonizing temper tantrums to Winnie's more sincere and cute demeanor, there's an episode where buzz buzzard scams her out of a car and she goes to court for it and it's hilarious. Buzzard was also voiced by Mark Hamil who just sound like a version of his joker voice. There was also woody's niece and nephew who appaeared in the comics, they remind of the the angry beavers(1997) little sisters who acted much the same way with there fascination on comics and adventure. Also this show is nothing like animanics or tiny toons not sure where that comparison came from not even the same style of writing, especially animanics which leaned more into satire and pop culture references galore, this show was not like that, just because a cartoon is wacky in the 90's doesn't mean its copying animanics or ren and stimpy wtf, woody is a golden age cartoon character that predates all of those those, if anything they're ripping of him. The New Woody the Woodpecker sticks closer the original shorts tone and humor wise which is what made it so great in the first place.

Keep in mind I just recently rewatched this show and hadn't seen it since it last aired on fox kids/abc family when I was a kid. It's been so long I know and this show like many 90s cartoons proved the creative strength of the medium before the tv animation industry hit the fan, you won't get cartoons like this anymore unfortunately a relic of a 2nd golden age that won't be forgotten.

Not much to say except that this show lacks something that the others have. The cartoon is just like any other cartoon of its time (early 2000s), although the jokes are corny and sometimes come off as just cringy, the writing has a lot left to be desired (there's some things resembling how the old cartoons were like, such as the slapstick humour or the action scenes; but it doesn't stick to the original source), and the characters feel flat. The animation for the 1st season tries to mimic the animation of cartoon in the 90s (such as Ren and Stimpy) and comes off as just unusual and awkward (I mean, it's trying to mimic the surrealism of 90s cartoons, but fails in doing that). The other seasons animations return to a more formalized style of animation, but it doesn't really do anything to improve the show. The show lacks any sort of identity. The source material is barely touched upon other than a few samples here and there. Compared to other cartoons of its time, this one is really lacking and underwhelming (Spongebob obviously destroys this cartoon. I know that Spongebob is overlooked and sometimes overwatched, but I'm only talking about the first three seasons. Even then, season 4 and beyond the episodes are still entertaining and watchable). If you have kids that are like 6 or below, then this is perfect for them. The rest of the age group, please watch something else.

I love this show. It is beautifully coloured. And most importantly, it shows the best appearance and voice of the best Winnie Woodpecker. She's my favourite, as well as Woody. Too bad in this one they are just best friends instead of boyfriend and girlfriend. But I like to think that they are. This version of Winnie should be shown more.

I'm sorry but this show is just so lame. There's nothing to even compliment this show. Unless you are like a Kindergartner, this show comes off as very corny and sometimes just extremely cringe, especially the first few episodes. It's unbearable. It's not even the good type of cringe (like the office), just cringe. The story telling is like any average cartoons, except they don't put any effort to actually make it interesting. It's so stereotypical and sometimes comes off as monotonous because of the lack of any interesting subjects. The animation feels so computer generated that the backgrounds and characters lack any detail. It's as if a beginner animator developed an animation engine from scratch and never optimized it. Like seriously, it looks like the Wii graphics because you can see the pixelation of lines. Other cartoons of this era had even better animation (heck, even Spongebob used original cel-animated animation in its first season, and that animation completely shreds this show's animation). Next thing on the trash list are the characters. Starting off with the main character, Woody. Not a single bit interesting except for the fact that its name is clearly inappropriate. All he ever does is annoy anyone for no reason, as if they're the bane of his existence, and then laughs a monotone melody every single episode, as if that was its only trademark ever (oh wait, it is). Seriously, is there anything interesting about him? Apart from things that aren't even iconic and don't change anything (pecking, laughing etc.). Just another stereotypical cartoon character. For the other characters? Well, they just bought them from a stock website like shutterstock and inserted them there. Well anyways, I'm glad Universal released a movie about Woody that will hopefully remove him from the media for the foreseeable future.
