Harvey Beaks is one of those very charming, relaxing and all around pleasant shows to watch and honetly just look at. While Harvey Beaks was coming from a veteran in the animation space, Nickelodeon still ended up treated the show poorly leading to some public situations with them and the shows creator. Today, let's take a look at the rise and unfortunately sad fall of Harvey Beaks.

Thanks so much for watching! Did you ever get the chance to check out Harvey Beaks? If so, what are your thoughts on the show?
Yesss this show was my childhood 😆😁 I remember really liking it.
Harvey was really good
Unfortunately, I never got the chance to see it (likely due to Nickelodeon's piss-poor marketing with the show). But I have heard good things about it from people online. (PhantomStrider for example)
Easily the best Nickelodeon show of the 2010’s.
i loved that show when i was a kid
Nick treated C.H Greenblatt, an animation veteran poorly, but put Dan Schneider on a pedestal and gave him countless shows. Just shows Nickelodeon for you.
Right with his pedo self and they all knew what he was doing but because he made them the most money they tried to hide his disgusting behavior
At least Greenblatt still working on Jellystone, which is pretty good and is going for a new season
@@uncleshrek3614 yeah but jellystone not really known . I wish he got treated with respect cus the shows he worked on is STILLL making money for Cartoon Network 😭 .
Yuh they support pedophiles no surprise
I swear to god Schneider must be cousins with a Nickelodeon executive or something.
Harvey Beaks is such a relaxing and wholesome show to watch. Too bad the show got canceled just like other Nickelodeon shows that are not as high as Spongebob which it's a red flag to animated projects in the future.
It's surprising that _The Loud House_ got lucky for not being canceled.
wish loud house did get cancelled sooner
@@julianpeterson4227 agreed
@@julianpeterson4227 Actually. I regret liking that show back then.
@@kootunesscrewy Yeah, the show definitely fell off. It used to be better.
@@eat_garlic_bread i only only really like the first 3 season the newer seasons feel off and the movie is…. Not that good like the movie not bad but…
I might be alone in this but Harvey Beaks just radiates nostalgia. ( I grew up watching chowder one of my favs ) I remember my first time watching Harvey Beaks and immediately started getting teary eyed , I'm not even a cryer but that show brings out the best memories and emotions . I was so sad when it was canceled it had POTENTIAL.
It was a sweet cartoon with relatable characters which, to me, felt really hard to connect to with cartoons like teen titans go and Clarence at the time. This show is really underrated
Fr this show is really nostalgic
I also grew up watching chowder and I loved it
Same bruv, same
Me too
Harvey Beaks was so adorable and it was gorgeous to look it. It also taught such valuable lessons and it gave me vibes of Studio Ghibli and Disney movies. Nickelodeon treated it so terribly. I hope that C.H. Greenblatt sues Nickelodeon for how they treated it.
This is why he should've put Harvey on Cartoon Network.
He always been working for them since Billy and Mandy. I don't understand why he needed to return back to Nick if they only care about SpongeBob (a character that I don't really care about and rather prefer Ren and Stimpy).
@@kootunesscrewy Even my father used to say that Nickelodeon should be called The SpongeBob channel
@@audreytheausllyologist502 Yeah.
I still love SpongeBob (as a character), but he ain't like the others (Bugs Bunny or The Pink Panther).
But I'll give him credit. He's better than Mickey.
@@kootunesscrewy I love both SpongeBob and Mickey Mouse
@@kootunesscrewy it would have lasted a bit longer over there
I watched Harvey Beaks when it aired and I liked it because it was a show about the innocence of childhood. It was just so heartwarming to watch
as a huge chowder fan, i was blown away watching harvey beaks and taking in how much heart this adorable little show had compared to other c.h. works. like, i CRIED over so many episodes that weren't even sad, just incredibly sweet and genuine. harvey was such a great main character. it was a gem and deserved so much better. fuck nickelodeon
Harvey Beaks was a chill favorite of mine in the mid-2010s. Very reminiscent of shows like Clarence and Chowder (from the same creator). I always get ticked off when thinking about how Nick's CEO at the time, Cyma Zarghami, treated the show and C.H. Greenblatt. She was just awful to them.
It hurts even more when you realize Greenblatt used to work under her (when he worked on SpongeBob) and actually had success with Chowder on Cartoon Network.
clarence good
I remember being so hyped for this show for the sole reason being it wasn't the dime a dozen gross out show that MrEnter complained about.
I remember watching him. Got bored with his channel after awhile.
@@animiser9437 considering all of his recent controversies (not the harmful kind the dum kind) that was a smart move in your end
@@pokuhmoo9415 The turning red review video 💀
It’s really such a shame
Because compared to the other shows that nickelodeon had at the time, this one didn’t rely to much on absurd, gross out humor, and managed to tell such great heartwarming stories while also making them funny
Harvey Beaks had potential, but his chance to become a bigger cartoon icon was immediately taken away (or barely even given)
Man I remember Harvey Beaks
Too bad the show never got a chance cause Nickelodeon nowadays pretty much only cares for SpongeBob and The Loud House
Wait sponge bob isn’t Canceled yet
@@Dark-Pikachu1 The creator wanted the show to end after the first movie, but Nickelodeon insisted to keep it on the air.
harvey beaks was incredible, so heartfelt with its stories and characters. its amazing how many arcs and character growths they were able to give many characters in just under 2 seasons. the crew did the best with the hand they were dealt and its a shame it ended up collapsing
If Nickelodeon gave Harvey a chance, it could have been just as big as SpongeBob. It could have been even bigger than SpongeBob, like so many other shows they screwed over.
I fondly remember watching a little bit of Harvey Beaks as a kid and wanting to see more, but unfortunately I never got the chance. I remember it was quite mature and emotional though, not like most shows I have seen at the time. It’s special because of that I thinks.
Edit: think* oops lmao
Seriously, Nick? CH Greenblatt is one of the writers and storyboard artists who help made SpongeBob who he is today and this is the thanks he gets?
One of the executives at Nick must've had some intense hatred for Chowder.
@@ExtremeWreckthey are mad and jealous😂
Harvey Beaks was certainly an underrated show. I didn't want to watch it at first but I did see a few episodes and it grew on me. It's a charming little show. Shame on Nick for destroying it.
Me too!
I gave This show a Chance because of Phantomstrider putting it on his Top 10 Best Nickelodeon Shows list, and I liked Chowder as a Kid. Harvey Beaks was Really Good, and it was The Last Good Show on Nickelodeon The Last Decade. I wish Harvey Beaks got More Attention, and was treated better along with Greenblatt.
I mean, Rise of the TMNT is a pretty damn good show.
This show deserved so much more but at least it got 2 seasons instead as 1 and it got a proper finally
Harvey Beaks, if you ask me, was one of the best things Nickelodeon put out in years. It’s heartbreaking that it got the treatment that it got in spite of it’s solid quality. I dunno if it was because of the Spongebob effect or what, but as the title says, this show deserved better than it got
Excluding Amphibia, which I put as more of a 2020s and beyond show, there were 2 shows from the 2010s decade that really connected with me.
One was Wander Over Yonder, a show that had plenty of slapstick but a lot of heart and optimism at its core. It was refreshing to see that kind of take in a very cynical world.
The other, of course, was Harvey Beaks. Harvey Beaks probably ranks as my second favorite animated program of all time (right behind Wander), and it's due to the style of it. How characters interact, how stories play out. This was LEGITIMATELY a show about kids being kids. Something I think a lot of cartoons either don't do, or fail to grasp. The humor was always on point, making adult characters feel like characters and not just nags to the children was also fantastic. As you said, the show had a ton of heart, and you can feel that from each and every episode. Whether it's an episode dealing with deep emotions such as jealousy, or a fun episode done almost entirely with different art styles to show the winter holiday.
It's also special to me, that both shows (Wander and Harvey) had musical episodes air in the same year. Both of them were fantastic spectacles of what the teams could do with their characters, and showed that even placing them in a slightly different setting, you could still get the same tone and spirit the main show gave.
I think most people have a negative attitude toward Nick these days, and it's not without merit. Saying, "well SpongeBob does these numbers!!" and then expecting a new show that you barely air or market to do the same is insane. SpongeBob was considered a one and done back in the day from what I remembered, as they were pulling all their resources into making more Rugrats and Rugrats spin-offs. Now look at that show.
You gotta give shows an actual chance to shine, otherwise everything will look "mediocre" ratings wise in comparison. (Not to mention a lot of SpongeBob now is just the kind of really cruddy humor you'd see in a Minions movie, which goes to show how much the network actually gives a crap about its target demographic.)
Anyway.
Harvey Beaks or any character from Littlebark Grove for Nick All-Stars!!
I pretty much agree with everything here. And regarding Wander Over Yonder, yeah two seasons was really disappointing. Whether it would’ve been more wacky adventures or Wander and Sylvia still trying to reform Dominator, maybe even realize most people are beyond redemption, I just wanted to see the, again. The first episode of Chibiverse kinda did that with a two second clip of Wander and Hater, short but sweet, but I would appreciate it more the voice actors reprised their roles
Harvey Beaks is just a chill and comfy show with the perfect balance between childlike wonder and more adult themes/undertones. I found myself genuinely enjoying it at 20 and it will remain one of my favorite shows for a long time. It's sad to see how it got mistreated by the channel...
Sad thing is I remember watching Harvey beaks when it was on airing on Nickelodeon, hoping the viewership I gave Harvey would help the show succeeded and not get axed twp seasons in.
c.h greenblatt is one of the greatest, everything he has made or played a big part in has been gold. one of the many branches of the Stephen Hillenburg tree .
I remember when Harvey Beaks came out in my country, I really enjoyed the first episode.
I stopped watching this when season 2 came out but my reasons are unknown. I actually wanna start watching this show again.
I liked this show, i am sad it got cancelled, it is in a way like uncle grandpa both are in a way throwbacks to old 2000s cartoons in both style of writing and art style, makes sense cause CH.Greenblatt made it, he made chowder so of course
Yeah.
Even if most people confused these styles as the modern "bean" style that started with Steven Universe (which I don't see).
@@kootunesscrewy i mean Harvey Beaks seems like a mix mash which i like, but Uncle Grandpa is quite clearly 2000s,i mean it was planned to come around the 2000s cause the pilot came out in 2006
@@kootunesscrewy
The bean mouth thing came way before SU or Gravity Falls even premiered, with shows Flapjack and even Spongebob Squarepants (Look at Squidward when he smiles).
Those smiles were influenced from Studio Ghibli.
@@uncleshrek3614 i mean big mouth looks is not something unique to the cal art style, but the cal art style really has that, well i guess you can say Simpsons style of smiling
@@uncleshrek3614 I wouldn't really call those "bean" styles. Not even Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Gumball or Regular Show.
And when I mean by the bean style, I mean by the current Cartoon Network style. (I don't have a problem with this style. It's a pretty good style for its own right. I just find it somewhat weird as the Hanna Barbera style during the 70s.)
Harvey Beaks was a really sweet and heartwarming show, like literally. I remember when in the summer, I would turn on the TV at night and watch it at my village before going to bed, and just obsessing over it w/ my siblings, its rlly sad it got cancelled.
I honestly like Harvey Beaks, it was a cool chill show, and kinda sad they ended it.
OMG I loved this show so much... It really deserved 5 seasons.
Truueee!!!
I loved the show. I remember an episode where Harvey got access to a magic wand, and tried to make everything well organized and safe. Then everything went wrong; bugs couldn't get in thier homes, tress were easy to collapse like a domino effect, and a lesson was learned.
C.H. Greenblatt said in one of the post that Harvey Beaks was cancelled by Nickelodeon a while back, but he just wanted to finish the rest of the episodes.
I thought he was one who pulled the plug. I heard him say that in Pan Pizzas podcast.
Anyways, Greenblatt is understandably upest, but it's nice to hear how much of a joy it has been to work at Nickelodeon. Sadly, they've become a channel who is to afraid to let go of Spongebob, and like Greenblatt said, if they don't learn, they will shrivel up and die.
You know that feeling of when you’ve been hit with a bunch of jokes and wild colours and loud noises but then you finally get to relax your eyes by watching something calmer and more neutral compared to everything else you’ve seen?
Anytime I watched Harvey beaks it was like washing my face with cold water and refreshing me with a calm soundtrack while they solve simple problems with friends!
I wish that his show lasted for like 4 to 5 seasons
Now that I can agree with . The Loud House didn't need a Season 4 or 5 because three seasons was enough.
Ayo harvey beaks is so good! It would've grown soooo much if nickelodeon didn't drop it
Also harvey is one of the goodest, bestest of bois. He's up there with KO, Remi Remington etc
Finally! I’ve been dying to see you do a Harvey Beaks video I can’t wait!
Man Harvey beaks was such a good show, the morals, the characters, and the humor were all just good. We need more shows like this becoming mainstream like spongebob, but spongebob is just nicks bread and butter that they don't want to let go of. I would've absolutely loved to see more out of this show and I hope more shows follow this way of making outstanding animation with good storytelling and good humor
It's so sad this show got cancelled 🥺
It had so much potential, completely break my heart!
I always wonder in situations like this how different it would have gone on other networks. I personally think the show's tone would have fit better with Disney Channel, which was just finishing up P&F the year this premiered.
Not to mention the coincidence that Max Charles (Harvey) also was doing the Lion Guard with Disney Junior the same exact year.

I think that might be the most unpleasant "subscribe or else" ultimatum yet, Jordan. Good thing I've been subscribed for years and like all (or try to) your content.
No lie, C.H. Greenblatt is one of the most unfairly disrespected people currently in the industry.
I quite enjoyed Harvey, sad to see it go. I also feel the same way about how Gumball ended on a cliffhanger and how Cartoon Network didn't bother to greenlight the movie for over a whole year
still one of the more underrated shows ever made of Harvey Beaks
I wish we had more shows like harvey beaks, almost everything out now feels the same.
TRUE!!!
This show probably would have been big on Cartoon Network and could take over all the Teen Titans Go airings 😂
Me and my mom loved watching this show when I was a kid. Happy to see someone talk about it, feels left in the dirt.
I loved the vibe Harvey Beaks radiated. I recall wondering when it aired cause it seemed like it NEVER aired on the network. I ended up watching a lot of clips off TH-cam.
i LOVEEE this show its genuinely one of the only cartoons ill binge watch beginning to end at least once a year. i watched it after it was canceled (i didnt grow up somewhere it aired on tv) and just fell in love. thank you for covering this!
I just find it odd that whenever nickelodeon cancels a show people complain about it. When these shows are running the cartoon community doesn't even care. No one talks about them. Why isn't anyone talking about glitch techs ? That's pretty much the best modern nicktoon out. The only modern cartoons that have any relevancy are shows from cartoon network or disney channel. Modern nickelodeon shows are easily ignored yet people love complaining about nickelodeon not giving them a chance. Why would they give them a chance when y'all don't care 🤷♂️ ?
I actually have been watching some modern Nickelodeon animated shows, and have been enjoying shows such as Glitche Tech and Rise of the TMNT, and I really do hate that a lot of people ignore them and then complain about how those shows got screwed over by Nick. My problem with these shows (and other shows from different networks whether if it’s animated or live action) is that once you get invested into them, the networks immediately cancelleds them.
People talked about Glitch Tech when it first came out, but as per usual for any Netflix show, the hype/talk died down after season 2 released.
It's crazy how Harvey Beaks ended 2 days before New Year's Eve 2017, and 3 days before New Year's Day 2018.
I remember watching harvey beaks when it came out, I was around 8 and I loved the show. It was so charming and it was just nice to watch after a day of school. It was sad to see it get the axe.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I love your videos so Jordan Fringe keep up the good work man
i grew up watching so many shows that when harvey beaks got cancelled i literally forgot about it 😭
this video brought so many memories man
Great video Jordan. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality.
By 2015 I was already a bit old to watch Nicktoons so I don't really remember much of it but... it's nice and a bit kiddy, like a show you could find in Nick Jr. for older preschool kids to learn some values the show portraits.
C. H. Greenblat wrote the spongebob episode Band geeks. Let that sink in.
This show's original soundtrack and art style are honestly one of the best I've seen in animation. It's soundtrack is so magical and unique
i hope this show returns with new episodes
yea u nailed it in the intro. It was indeed a very chill cartoon
Glad I still remember this show. This show literally was my favourite after school shows alongside pig, goat, banana, cricket back in 4-5th grade.
How Nick treated Greenblatt really shatters my childhood even more. Learning how Nick, the channel I once favored more than Cartoon Network and Disney as a child having multiple amounts of controversies like these really makes me want to grab my child self and force her to read books instead.
And it's unfortunate that the show only aired season 1 in my region. I really hate it when networks do this. They air shows very late in the region I'm in, while the western side of the world is enjoying like what, the 4th season we out here still in the 1st one.
I love your channel so much it always brings nostalgia. I don't know if you've done a video on cramp twins or out of Jimmy's head.
Can you do Clarence next???? I love that show man, but it feels like nobody else does
For me Clarence was one of those shows where it felt like something, I don't know what, was missing.
I didn't dislike it, but aside from a couple of standout episodes, I couldn't stay invested in it.
@@SageArdor I know exactly what you mean! I felt that way too. Clarence just felt real, the characters felt like kids I actually knew in elementary.
I probably wouldn’t liked that show if I wasn’t scared of the channel (courage fault for me not watching Cartoon Network lol)
This was one of my favourite shows growing up, I loved it so much and even cried when it ended
It also introduced me to one of my favourite things: steampunk
I remember watching this with my little brother, it was really chill and fun to watch, it was something that even I could kinda enjoy.
I had never seen this one ! Looks interesting ! Great video though love getting to see and hear about new things ! Hope y’all all had a safe trip ! 😃
I used to love this show man. It's great to see it holds up today!
TH-cam should have told me you posted today. You are awesome
I wish I had the chance to watch this wonder of a series. it sounds like it was an amazing ride while it lasted.
I respect Greenblat, really he created one of my favorite shows. That being said. I did not enjoy Harvey Beaks, at first I wasn’t saddened by the cancellation. But then I realized who made it and what happened. He deserves way better from ALL studios.
Wow... I've known for a long time about the problems with the network at Nick but this is just so depressing. I remember seeing ads for Harvey Beaks when it came out and thinking it looked like a good slice of life cartoon, and it's really upsetting to see the fate it had
As a kid I loved the show and one day it just stoped airing and I had no idea why. Didn't know shit about the Nick grave yard but I had a vague idea of what nick toons was. My aunt used to put it on for me since she didn't know the difference between that and the main channel. I did grow up with Xfinity on Demand which was like the streaming services before the streaming service. The last of the episodes just showed up on there a year or so after I forgot about it. Happy enough it gave me closure on the charaters. I had no idea why they never aired the episodes that I considered major story beats. I was constantly watching TV so I definitely would've seen something. I only realised what happend after I got into animation and TV online...
This show was so relaxing yet funny..Harvey Beaks just lights up the nostalgia in me.
I loved this show when it was on. I didn't know it ended until I saw the final episode on the Nick app. Growing up in the early 2000's and seeing all the content Nick had it makes me sad to see that there isn't much of a variety of shows now than it did back then. It's almost as if the network is scared of taking a chance with new ideas for animation
I want at least a dvd of these episodes, dang it
It’s so sad to think of how many shows could’ve become channel staples if Nickelodeon had just given them a moment to find their footing
COMPLETELY forgot about Harvey beaks. It gives a sense of calm with its artstyle. Liked it when I was younger
I loved the show when I was growing up, I always loved the charm the show had and how the art style was similar to Chowder. I remember it premiering right after the kids choice awards and how I associated the food i was eating at the time to give me the same emotion as Harvey Beaks did. I was sad to see it go but I'm glad to look back on it and the nostalgia it gives me.
Shame on Nickelodeon for giving C.H Greenblatt and Harvey Beaks the middle finger. This show was awesome and it truly deserves better.
I forgot about this show- damn nostalgia is real-
I thought this show was a figment of my imagination I had no clue this really existed
I remember being in middleschool watching this show from time to time and it honestly makes me sad to see the show end the way it did. But at least the show was good from start to finish which is why this show will always be in my top 10 for nickelodeon shows.
Sponge Bob has so much episodes, that it can get it's own channel
I remember seeing Harvey beaks premiere on nick but the next time I saw it was moved to nick toons. The show was average something you could have in the background and not mind but the show became a turn of for me since nick toons was 90% the time playing only bread winners during mid day of my time zone.
To be fair and honest but if Harvey Beaks premiered on the same day and year like the Loud House did, then it probably would of gotten the same amount of love and attention like the Loud House got.
the ending made me cry, when he went past the safety line
I love this show so much. When i was youger, we had snack day every week, where my mother and me or one of my siblings would go and buy snacks, we would allways arrive around 8-9 pm, and when we got home, they allways aired Harvey Beaks, so i just sat on the big couch with my family, ate snakcs, and watched this relaxing gem of a cartoon.
I loved Harvey Beaks, it looked so comfy for me as a kid. Especially the backgrounds and music.
It also was relatable for me. I had a lot in common with Harvey(well, I still do as a teenager. But I don't have even two friends now)
Another banger🔥
This has the quirky adventurousness of Gravity Falls with the wholesomeness of classic SpongeBob
This show actually sounded really cute
I will always remember the episode where Harvey is having a fear of heights and jumped down with his two friends
I don't remember much from the show except of feelings of wholesomeness and comfort.
You should do videos on World Of Quest & those Fisher Price cartoons
OMGGG this unlocked memories I didn't know I had I loved this show
I cried at the ending
08:21 what on Earth is Pig Goat Banana Cricket? You need to do an episode on that
bro the harvey beaks intro BUSSED THAT SHIT WAS PURE BLISS
Literally my favorite Nickelodeon show, very sad that it got canceled...
Damn this show just gives me so much flashbacks, i just realised that i used to watch it a lot before
Harvey Beaks went big on emotional beats, and for me, it didn't always hit, and sometimes came off like discount Fraggle Rock or something like that. However, it did hit often enough to watch, and once it became clear it was getting the Nicktoons treatment, I started paying it more attention and realized it had a real niche amongst Nick's other "louder" shows. Breadwinners just sucked tho
The fact that Harvey himself is on the spectrum, it shows thay even characters like him can try to relate to those in the same situation.
