10/10
Butch Hartman is a genius.

There's a reason the (very few) people that don't enjoy the show have their reviews poorly rated on here... because their arguments just don't hold up. One of the top 5 best Nicktoons of all-time, without a doubt. Danny is a likable, witty character. He doesn't always win, and that's what makes him lovable. He deals with a messed-up family, getting bullied constantly, and his own teenage insecurities but still, in the end, remains a kind-hearted enough to focus on helping others, no matter the cost. He does slip up by trying to get revenge on bullies or making himself the Ultimate Enemy, but he learns from his mistakes and becomes more powerful by doing so, such as the pre-mature development of his Ghostly Wail superpower. That's the great part about this show--it has a moral along with being witty and smart, and he has his quirks and weak moments. One of the most three dimensional characters Nick's ever created. The only reason the ratings ever went down was because Nickelodeon moved it around and never built up hype with toys and such like they do with other shows. Wonderful, original show (how many other times half you heard of someone that can ~~~turn into a ghost/other supernatural creature and return to normal afterwards?) My two complaints are that everything works out ~~~too conveniently in the end, like someone showing up to save Danny's behind last minute or them always finding a way to erase the memories of anyone who learns of Danny's powers, and that Sam would probably be considered a poser. But it is a Nicktoon. Forever wishing it was back on the air, SSxx
