So much average

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

In my review of "Kim Possible," I mentioned that movies and television shows made after the death of Walt Disney wouldn't always meet the approval of the founder of the Mouse-empire. This is one of the ones that wouldn't -- not because he'd hate it, but because he wouldn't know what to make of it. This show is so out of the 1970's, it even prides itself on having Don LaFontaine as the announcer, calling out the names of each chapter like an episode of "Barnaby Jones" or "Cannon." Having said that, YOU the viewer would approve of it.Let's start by examining some of the main characters:Cornelious Fillmore(Orlando Brown): Former troublemaker turned good. Once spent his life as a petty vandal, he's now one of the top cops of the X-Middle School Safety Patrol.Ingrid Third(Tara Strong): A goth-looking pseudo-intellectual girl with a photographic memory. She's Fillmore's partner.Jr. Commissioner "Dutch" Vallejo(Horatio Sanz): X-Middle School's answer to Bernie Hamilton.Danny O'Farrell(Kyle Sullivan): The official nerd of the Safety Patrol. Since the Safety Patrol and Glee Club are both in the same room, he's right where he belongs, although more in the glee club than the patrol.Principal Folsom(Wendy Malick): Hard-nose principal of X-Middle School. Your basic take-no-guff boss who's determined to maintain her reputation as such a boss.As you can expect, by the premise, and other user comments, the show inflates the role of ordinary school hall monitors to the role of 1970's TV cops. Like many '70's cop shows, nothing is black and white. More often than not, the people assumed to be the criminals never are. As Disney cartoons go, the quality of this is somewhere above "Recess," and slightly below "Kim Possible"(That's NOT an insult!). Like Recess though, it relies on exaggerations of elements of school life for much of it's humor. One reviewer claims it takes itself too seriously. Previously on the IMDb user comments, another reviewer pointed out that the fact that it takes itself so seriously is the key to it's enjoyment.So it doesn't make me wish I had joined a school safety patrol squad when I was a kid, but it does make a halfway decent kids' show.

This show probably would be funny on it's own, but as a kid growing up in the 70s and Quinn Martin Productions, this show is hilarious. From the onslaught of punnery to the running sports team jokes (X middle school never had a basketball or football team, but I do remember them in a Bocci ball field and miniature golf tournament). It was the tongue-in- cheek detail (a papier-mache volcano in the science fair named Mt. Cliché) as well as the mock seriousness of the crime that really made the show so enjoyable. It even had a killer opening montage, closing with unmanned bikes flying over a cliff ala Mannix.The characters are great, every fundamental of a 70x cop show was met with certain beautiful overkill, Chief (no-first-name) Vallejo, as well as the forensic and investigative members with the comic relief (a cartoon with a comic relief character) of O'Farrell. It even had mayor in the principal of X Middle School voiced by Wendy Malick. I loved her on this show, her biting, witty threats were hilarious.If anyone ever finds out this show is being released on DVD, iTunes or Google, please let me know. Or if you can find Scott Gimple's email addy. I just want to tell him how much I enjoyed his work and how can I get it.

Changed my mind completely, it had a similarity to Recess, where it is a school which has exaggerated days, basically it is about two people, detectives of their school. A black guy called Cornelis Fillmore, and a white girl called Ingrid Third, both 7th graders in X middle school and both were troublemakers, Fillmore was considered best in the game, but both of them went straight and both later joined the Safety Patrol, together they solve crimes which happen during the day. But it is like old 70's cop shows, a lot of stolen money becomes in the cartoon money which is made by candy manufactures to buy many kid things, £10000 of it gets stolen, or who steals the worlds oldest tamagotchi since it has been taken hostage. It has comedy and action. And to hear that Disney animation was no longer making this was a shame, it was a good cartoon.

This is the rare show for kids AND adults. It is to cop shows what "Bruno the Kid" was to spy movies. A fun cast with plenty of chemistry, decent (though predictable) plots, and action-packed animation make it a pleasure to watch. The incredible title sequence says it all.Let's hope it gets another season.
