This is an amazing cartoon. Easily the best one I have seen even over a decade since it came out. That being said, DO NOT BUY THIS. The video quality is absolutely atrocious - you're better off buying the DVD box set. The fact that this is being sold on the google store in its current state is a crime, and it's incredibly annoying to see all of these 5-star reviews from people who didn't even bother to buy this. If you buy this, get a refund as soon as possible and buy the DVD collection, or even pirate it if you must. It's clear that Nickelodeon doesn't care about this show if this is the quality they're giving out to digital services.

This is a review of the product on Google Play, not the show itself. The show is fantastic: the setting, characters, plot, development, lore, animation, voice acting, music, it's all done very well. I would highly recommend this show to both children and adults. I purchased this through my Roku on my television, so I can't speak for other mediums. The visual quality is pretty poor, as the outlines are often pixelated and the picture wouldn't nearly take up the majority of my television screen. The sound for the Nickelodeon logo at the beginning was also much louder than the sound from the show itself. Even though the show came out in the early 2000's, the quality wasn't this bad at all. I remember being incredibly impressed with the animation when watching it on Nickelodeon. On here, it's distracting, and there's no excuse. I would recommend purchasing a high-quality dvd box set instead of on Google Play (each of the 3 seasons are sold separately for about $20 I believe).

Wow. So disappointed in the video quality. Ultra low frame rates and jagged lines are actually giving me a headache. It's the same poor video quality on Android 5.0 and iOS 8.3 regardless if streaming or downloaded to device on either. There are much higher quality FREE streams across the web. Way to ruin this for me... YouTube seems slightly better with the frame rate, but still jagged lines and there's a white line running vertically on the right side of that stream...
