Johnny Bravo
About
A cartoon about a larger‑than‑life, muscle‑bound surfer who thinks he’s a ladies’ magnet.
Johnny Bravo is a 1997‑2004 Cartoon Network series that follows an Elvis‑style, oversized, self‑confident hero who lives in a quirky town with his mother and a chatty neighbor girl. Each episode sees him attempt to woo a woman, only to be foiled by his own brashness and the universe’s slapstick humor. The show mixes pop‑culture references, guest celebrity cameos, and a distinctly light, fast‑paced tone, while keeping a family‑friendly vibe.
