Chowder

Chowder is an American animated TV show crafted by C.H. Greenblatt for Cartoon Network. The narrative centers on a young, ambitious chef named Chowder, who embarks on daily escapades as an apprentice at Mung Daal’s catering business. Despite his good intentions, Chowder frequently lands in trouble due to his insatiable hunger and absent-mindedness. He is also constantly bothered by Panini, the apprentice of Mung’s competitor Endive, who insists on making Chowder her “boyfriend,” much to his dismay. The show combines traditional animation with brief stop-motion puppet segments that are interspersed throughout the episodes and appear during the closing credits.

Chowder debuted on November 2, 2007, and spanned three seasons, totaling 49 episodes. Throughout its run, it won a Primetime Emmy Award, received six Annie Award nominations, and earned two additional Emmy Award nominations. The series concluded with the episode “Chowder Grows Up,” which aired on August 7, 2010, featuring C.H. Greenblatt as the voice of the grown-up Chowder.
