Matthew Raymond C @RT19930079 Dec 7 The Bebe and CeCe show is a cartoon Network show which aired from 2008 to 2010 similar to The proud family it features Bebe and CeCe and poodle Puff people may not have caught it when it was on cartoon Network because it was primarily part of a Disney cartoon called The proud family and that's where Bebe and CeCe began to appear in it was more of a new cartoon Network show rather than a original and it was primarily a licensing agreement and it did not have widespread indication or repeated airing or was on consistently like other cartoon Network shows it wouldn't had not generate international exposure or major syndication that will create significant buzz and overall awareness the show may have aired during cartoon Networks cn reel we're in many shows weren't well conceived making it a hard show to catch. See more Lucas F @RT50342636 02/07/2025 it’s a series that i couldn’t NOT recommend more. i gave up after the first episode simply because it’s terrible. if you value your time, dont watch. See more Jay W @RT52162311 12/01/2024 When people think back to this show, most remember it as a down to Earth slice of life family show. The show would be more comparable to "Hey Arnold" with everyday issues as opposed to "Kim Possible" having to save the world. And for the most part, this show could fall into that category. There would be issues like: throwing a party and not wanting your parents to find out, overcharging your credit card or wanting more allowance. But then there would be these out of nowhere plot threads that nobody would mention ever again. Like, remember that Penny Proud has a physic link with a tiger? I guess because Kayla Pratt is in Dr. Dolittle her powers just transfer over to this show. Speaking of powers there is an episode where she gets superpowers from eating some Halloween proud snacks. There is also Al Roker who once made all the parents of the world disappear or the talking baby that antagonizes Oscar. This show got really weird. OK, the story lines would sometimes be all over the place, but how was the quality? Likewise, all over the place. From the animation, the voice acting the characters everything varied depending on what episode you were on. The show did its best when it was focusing on more small-scale problems with some extra twist. I do remember enjoying the show when it was on. But now it's available on streaming, I don't recommend a binge watch, just cherry pick some of the better episodes. See more Read all reviews
