This is my universal favorite show! Seriously! I watch it almost every day! Graphic is i think little better than in movies, what is ironic, because most of people what i know don't think that. It have fun and characters are sometimes cute even when they don't want! My favorite character EVER is Kowalski

I typically enjoyed this the same way as I enjoyed the Madagascar movies and Penguins of Madagascar movie. If you want a good spin-off from a movie, this is it.

It's decent enough. The penguins are really funny and they're no less funny here. It's definitely non-canon because King Julien now lives in the zoo, but he's pretty funny so that's no problem. Some bits are a little random (such as the Otter becoming crazy when she leaves the zoo). It'll produce some entertaining laughs, watch it for those. But I think the Penguins movie is better.

Even though I would rather watch a Madagascar television series about Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman, this show has some funny moments and a good voice cast.
