I love the Monster High movies, so I thought I would give the show a try. These are, unfortunately, nothing like the movies. They are dull and way too short. I lost interest in every single one I would start. I wish they were longer and more story- centered than just quick snippets of stories. I did like the voices and the animation, though.
The Ghoul Squad episodes, however, are by far the worst of them all. That animation is horrible and the story is worse than before. You barely get to see any of the guys in the series. Plus, I really dislike a lot of the voice actresses for the characters.

The old episodes are my favorite

The old episodes are still fun for me to watch. It feels like a teen drama/comedy series. Everything is so dramatic,like when Frankie gets a pimple,it was a huge deal. Which just makes it funny and entertaining to watch. And then there's Draculaura,she says she has nothing to wear to a dance,but has like floors upon floors of a closet full of clothes. Apparently you can't wear something twice. It's just so much fun to watch and very cute. I like these episodes more than the movies. Scaris is pretty good though.
Great animated series!

Who Says You Can't Go Back?

I found some of the first episodes on Prime and I was enchanted. I just signed up for Peacocktv and there are several episode/movies. I've been watching them over the last couple of days. The newer graphics are a little different than the older ones. I really enjoy all of the characters (thanks graphic designers), voices (thanks voice artists) colors, graphics, fashions and storylines. What a positive show for preteens and younger teens. I don't imagine that older teens would be that interested, but I am an adult way past, in theory, liking this show, but I do. I would like to see more than what Prime and Peacock have to offer. I have no idea what network this was originally on. Thanks Mattel Productions/Universal for making a show/movies so enjoyable. I would like to know what happened to Draculaura's dad and Clawdeen's mom in the later episodes/movies. I liked them.
The theme song was very catchy

Monster High had its popularity for a few years. The little girls were obsessed with the dolls and the TV show. Monster High was the dark version of the barbie.
The TV show was like any cartoon, except it focused on a few girls. They all had the cliché personalities, stories and appearance.
MH was an innocent, dark, monster theme show that touched base on various teen problems. Again it was all cliché and had no real value to it all.
Overall, a good show with a good theme song. MH wasn't entirely a show for dumbing down girls, although it lacked value.
Last Words: Monster High was just another fad.

Mattel's cash cow based on Twilight meeting Bratz

I honestly never understood why this show was popular in the first place. A generic series about teenagers going to school with the difference that the characters are the stereotype of girls who are a bunch of mary-sues because they are the daughters of famous horror movie monsters? And to think this was only created because Mattel wanted to make money from young girls using vampires based on the 2010 Twilight hit.
The characters are totally unlikeable: Frankie is a bland main character, Draculaura is a whiny and spoiled girl who gets everything in the way she wants easily, Cleo is just a generic rich and spoiled girl, Ghoulia is a annoying nerd (who doesn't even look like a nerd to begin with) that just like Draculaura gets everything in the way she wants, Clawdeen and Lagoona are the most okay characters. I also don't like how this show has a HUGE amount of characters just to sell more dolls, but is unable to develop all of them, always focusing on the annoying protagonists.
Not to mention the terrible character design of the characters, even though they are supposed to be monsters, many just look like drag queens with colored skins. For example, Cleo, Clawdeen and Ghoulia don't look like a mummy, a werewolf and a zombie respectively. They're just generic teenagers who only care about beauty and looks, which is ridiculous when you remember that they're supposed to be monsters. Not to mention the plot of the episodes which are all poorly written, are poorly animated, rushed or trying to be hip using things like Twilight and Justin Bieber to try to be relevant with teenagers.
