Johnny Bravo

Johnny Bravo was an American animated series created by Van Partible. It premiered on July 7, 1997 on Cartoon Network and ran for 65 episodes and 4 seasons. The series originally lasted for 12 1997 episodes and a half hour's worth of original pilots, was renewed in 1999 and officially ended in 2004.
Johnny Bravo originally appeared in two animated shorts created for Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons and was one of several characters to be given an ongoing series. Many celebrities starred on the show as well.
Initially, the show aired using the same creative format as the original animated shorts. However, the show was completely retooled in the latter seasons, changing the animation style and the personalities of several characters. The show's final season returned to the original format. Johnny Bravo was used in the show JBVO that involved taking the show requests from viewers. JBVO ran for roughly one year.
• Johnny Bravo (voiced by Jeff Bennett) — Johnny has the looks of James Dean and sounds like Elvis Presley. He is incredibly narcissistic and dim-witted, traits that lead to a severe incorrigible inability to attract women, becoming a running gag throughout the series. Another running gag is Johnny's catchphrase, "She wants me," after women beat him up for refusing to leave them alone. One notable exception to this was during the Cartoon Network's 1st 13th Annual Fancy Anvil Award Show Spectacular Live In Stereo during which Johnny served as the host and was very witty and suave. The character is memorable for his incredibly quick movements (usually done while trying to impress women), which were accompanied by the distinctive sound effect of a bullwhip crack, often flexing his muscles in a bodybuilder fashion. He dresses in an oversized black muscle shirt and very small jeans based on one of creator Van Partible's clothes.
• Bunny Bravo (voiced by Brenda Vaccaro) — Johnny's mother had a lively past and sometimes reveals a surprising hidden talent. The show's original format portrays her as a calm, nurturing woman, but was made into a louder, more extroverted character once the show was retooled. She's very dedicated to her son, but as a result of her awareness of his low intellect and womanizer attitude, does not always treat him and his problems seriously. Bunny hopes that Johnny will find that special someone he's been looking for. Bunny is mostly referred in the show as Momma by Johnny, who pronounces in an Elvis-esque manner.
• Suzy (voiced by Mae Whitman) — Suzy is a little red-haired Scottish girl (5-years-old) from the neighborhood (often called "Little Neighbor girl" by Johnny) who is very cunning and talkative. In many episodes she is shown to have a major crush on Johnny. Her parents were never shown, but she is often shown to be related to big time celebrities. In the early series, Suzie was more of a cute-type character with a round head and in the retooled series, she is thin-looking and more grown up.
• Carl Chryniszzswics (voiced by Tom Kenny) — Carl is a local genius and Caucasian geek who is very intelligent, but somewhat eccentric and timid. He was introduced after the show's retooling following the end of the first season, and seems to be Johnny's only friend, although Johnny often denies that. Carl sometimes uses Johnny for his experiments' sake, and used to make fun of him in high school, as Carl was much taller than Johnny at the time which is why Johnny acts rudely to Carl and refuses to be his friend. Carl really likes Johnny and continues to hang out with him, even after all the mean things Johnny does to him and says about him.
• Pops (voiced by Larry Drake) — Pops is the greedy owner of a local chili restaurant who could be considered as Johnny's substitute father. He often gives fatherly tips and advice to Johnny; however, his advice often turns out to be useless, sometimes provoking trouble for Johnny. His diner's chili is made from rather suspicious ingredients and he serves food made from many animals, such as possums, pandas, cougars, seals, horses, and bald eagles.

Now apart from funny and stupid stunts by Johnny, this cartoon also has a bit of violence in it. Violence in the sense that whenever Johnny sees a hot chick it is a must that he will go up to her and flatter her. Now, this can also be referred to as sexual harassment and it is a must that when kids see this they try out their luck as well. This can get them into trouble with their parents and teachers. And then there is the part where he gets beaten up by girls, this may dishearten the hopeful one who wanted to try it out but then see that they might beaten up so they drop the chase for a while.
Even though this issue was overlooked by the makers of this cartoon, it nevertheless continues to be aired all over the world in over a 1000 languages and has turnedout to be quite successful.
