Info

The Penguins of Madagascar is an American CGI animated television series airing on Nickelodeon. It stars nine characters from the DreamWorks Animation animated film Madagascar: The penguins Skipper, Kowalski, Private, and Rico; the lemurs King Julien, Maurice, and Mort; and Mason and Phil the chimpanzees. Characters new to the series include Marlene the otter and a zookeeper named Alice. It is the first Nicktoon produced with DreamWorks Animation. A pilot episode, "Gone in a Flash", aired as part of "Superstuffed Nicktoons Weekend" on November 29, 2008, and The Penguins of Madagascar became a regular series on March 28, 2009. The series premiere drew 6.1 million viewers, setting a new record as the most-watched premiere. Although the series occasionally alludes to the rest of the franchise, The Penguins of Madagascar does not take place at a precise time within it. McGrath, who is also the co-creator of the film characters, has said that the series takes place "not specifically before or after the movie, I just wanted them all back at the zoo. I think of it as taking place in a parallel universe."

The Penguins of Madagascar Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
mergatroid-1 Well, so much for having the same quality animation. It's still pretty good for a "Saturday morning cartoon" though.Mostly the show is about the penguins, but they've thrown in King Julian and his cronies, as well as the spider monkeys and a newcomer female otter.I can't really put my finger on it, but the penguins just don't come across as funny as they are in the movies. Perhaps it's the 15 minute format, or the fact that they deal mostly with other animals (I always found them funniest when they were knocking out humans and stealing their cargo container ships), whatever it is they just don't seem to pull it off as well as they do in the movies. They could add a little more spider monkey into the shows, they were always pretty funny. Still, it is an entertaining series. Definitely better than your usual cheapo cartoon.I can't believe all the people giving this series ten stars. It's not bad, but not 10 stars worth.
bearfaceproductions With the Madagscar movie franchise it seems the penguins became very famous. So let's see how a series made especially for them works.It's hilarious, it's fun, it's entertaining and it has a lot of potential.I really hope it stays as long as the Spongebob series.So original, with lovable characters and a good story in each episode.It's funny when it wants to be, the cast is simply amazing.At first a show for them didn't seem like such a good idea, but let me tell you that it was the best idea anyone could have had for TV.Grown-ups give the show a chance kids and adults are bound to have a good time with the penguins. I really hope it stays that good 'cause you can't find any new show as successful as this, these days.It's a 10 of 10!!!
zeroFargoth I've seen some of the episodes of this show, I don't regularly watch it but If I'm bored I may watch it on occasion. At times I laugh but only from the penguins. Considering the name of the show that should be the primary focus. Unfortunately the lemurs were thrown in. The only one that really grinds my gears is King Julian. In the movies he was usually at least a somewhat amusing character, in this series his personality is incredibly irritating. That is my only big issue with the series. The other non-penguin characters are at least passable, if not all too humorous. Expect the same from the penguins. If anything, this show should focus more or only on their military-style antics.
nyr132639 This Show is complete in every aspect story line,concept and presentationBig fan of Madagascar movie(Both Parts),& this is much due to LEGENDARY PENGUINS there are amazing awesome at peakWhen i seen that especially a new series coming of penguins of Madagascar i was quite excited and by far this is the best animated comedy show(South Park is Comparable But)This One is New and classicBasically the show is of 11 min (approx.)but in these 11 min it's a complete entertaining fun ride.It's totally different from the movie that is the point that makes this show much much entertaining .King Julien , Maurice & Mort additional package of this show is the major factor of this show success.ALL IN ALL THIS IS NOT ONLY THE KID SHOW BUT A COMPLETE SHOWSKIPPER KOWALSKI RICO PRIVATE IS LEGEN WAIT FOR IT............DARY
