A scathing review of the fiasco "Johnny Test"

Cartoon Network has this one show called Johnny Test. I hate it. Here's some reasons why:
1) Awful animation
The animation is so stiff and jerky! It feels like a grade school project of attaching pins to pieces of paper and moved them. It feels like molasses. The first seaswon's animation was okay, but it all went downhill in seasons 2 and beyond. Combined with the exaggerated facial expressions and pupil-less eyes, it can be quite unsettling, to say the least. In season 5, it actually got worse than before. Almost Naked Animals is just as bad as an offender in this department, as are "Scardey Squirrel", "NHL Rush Zone", "Sidekick", and an almost-forgotten Disney show called "Shorty McShort's Shorts."


2) Bad Writing
The writing is pretty poor compared to "Adventure Time", "Regular Show", "Gumball", or even "Ninjago" No originality occurs. It's a ripoff of "Dexter's Labratory." At least the first season had slightly better writing.
3) The Sound
 Johnny Test has a lot of loud screaming. Espeicially from Johnny, but Dukey's also a culprit. The sheer amount of screaming can cause MIGRANES. Also, the same rock riff plays all.the time in every transition. Every single freaking time a character's arm moves, you hear this annoying whip crack sound.
4) IT'S ON ALL THE TIME
Johnny Test is on Cartoon Network constantly, filling holes in the schedule that could easily be filled by "Chowder", "Camp Lazlo", "Ed, Edd, and Eddy", "Looney Tunes", "Pokemon", "Tom and Jerry", "Animaniacs", "Flapjack", or old Hanna-Barbara shows. This has lessened over time, but still.
5) IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE
The animation got worse in season 5, Dukey's actor left, and where's Dark Vegan?
 
Worst of all, my brother loves this show.
