Controversial episodes

The Butt of Jake and Amazon Kevin were banned because of the inappropriate content and the death of Steve Irwin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:4700:2D30:9954:9653:73AA:F969 (talk) 22:39, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary.

I just deleted the plot summary, because it was a copyvio from http://www.animationinsider.net/article.php?articleID=591. --FuriousFreddy 23:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe You Could Add This?

Maybe you should put something on the page about the show's mega success on the CN's Friday's block, and how it boosted ratings for the timeslots, according to Toonzone.net

Copyvio warning

The characters section is mostly copied from Cartoon Network's main page, and the Episode Summary section is copied from TV.com. Please change these soon or I'm afraid I'm going to have to delete the offending material. -- RattleMan 05:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update at the My Gym Partner's a Monkey page at Cartoon Network

11 new episode decriptions have been added onto the page. Squirepants101 23:29, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kerry character description

Could someone provide a character description of Kerry since she is my favourite character on the show and she likes Adam? Jim856796 11:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kerry is also my favorite character

Kerry's my favorite character, too. She is very cute because she has 8 eyelashes. She likes Adam, but also likes Ingrid and Lupe.

Kerry appeared in 5 episodes:

Me Adam, You Jake
Docu-Trauma (cameo appearence)
Supplies Party
Up All Night
Kerry to Dance?

I hope Kerry appears in more episodes!

We really need that character description! James78 17:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Your wish is my (or maybe our) command. I've added a bio of Kerry in the new category "Other Humans". NoseNuggets 10:13 PM US EDT June 2 2006

Based on Kenny and the Chimp

Do you think My Gym Parntner is a Monkey might have been based off of Kenny and the Chimp? It never aired but considering both have a human who happens to be friends with a chimp.

I don't agree. Especially since the actual short was created by Mr. Warburton of Kids Next Door fame and that it did air with said show on more than on occation. They have (slight) similarites but beyond a human and a monkey friend, that is where the similarities ends. Nadiasama 19:40, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dickie Sugarjumper

The name is too obvious, Sugarjumper I think may be a pun on sugarglider. Most people have not heard of one, but if I had to guess, Dickie with his big huge lemur eyes, and his long tail and his small stature, all seem to be indications that he is a sugar glider. I am not sure of this, but it is the most possible idea.

I agree. It is an obvious pun and is pretty much reaveled in the episode where Frank Platypus comes to CDMS. Pixiefrog is paranoid about aliens, looks at Dickie, and says, 'What is a sugerjumper anyway? I've heard of a Sugarglider, but never a sugerjumper.' I will change it if no one disagrees.

Character Guides

There's a list called List of Characters from My Gym Partner's a Monkey. I think all character guides should be moved there. Anyone else agree? Squirepants101 12:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Smart-mouth

Some idiot put in some stupid quip about Inuyasha. Obviously I'm deleting it. Vandalizing is wrong no matter the importance of the article.Nadiasama 19:34, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merging character list into main article

I feel that the list of characters for MGPAM should be merged into this article as it's practically replicating what this article already contains. treelo _talk 18:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did a number on this page

While not completely intentional, it would seem I've trimmed so much from this that the infobox is longer than the page. I'm no authority on this, so I'll just make some recommendations for expanding it once again.

Animal holidays: These are situational for episodes, so I don't see the relevance as anything but trivia.
Trivia: All of it was basically episode trivia. Some inline notes about larger references might be helpful.

I'm not sure just how much this can be expanded, but it could use it. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 23:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bah, that didn't really help, did it? A longer plot description would be good, for one. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 23:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Names

Now Do you know some of the animals' names? Like Johnny Grizzly and the penguins. When will they revealed?

Big Field Trip Article?

Since all the other Cartoon Network TV movies have their own articles, I believe as a MGPAM fan, it is not fair that this show does not even have one. Art1991 22:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon Kevin

Is this true,that the Amazon Kevin epsiode was banned in Austrailia after Steve Irwin's death?67.175.138.202 03:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it, although the idea of banning the episode after Steve Irwin died is pretty stupid... I'm sure as it's a kids' show it was only light humour, but you never know, people felt pretty deeply for his death. The page on IMDb says so, and they haven't been wrong on a movie banning yet (as far as I've seen).[1] User:Ss112 03:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music similarity between this and Curb Your Enthusiasm

Anyone noticed a lot of the music is the same between the two shows? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.226.119.201 (talk) 15:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Dickie Sugarjumper

What is Dickie. Is he Irish, (I got that imprshon first) or Brittesh. Tell me or thow a couppel more out. user: Maine sugar

Im pretty sure he is British. Especially since they did the whole British school uniform episode and they mimicked his way of dressing. I'm assuming you haven't ever heard an Irish accent or not to many of them or else you wouldn't have to ask :) 68.226.125.194 17:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Mgpam.jpg

Image:Mgpam.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

According to [2], Jake's last name is Spidermonkey, pronounced Spider-monkey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.38.254.178 (talk • contribs) 14:44, September 20, 2007

Animation Type

Can someone go into detail about the process of how they make the show? I would specifically like to know if it's animated in Flash or if it is Traditionally animated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.61.129 (talk) 15:37, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geography

I think we should expand the article "My gym partner's a monkey" like say what town it is in and some of the places —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainz10 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely, the problem with adding that sort of info is that a lot of it will just be guesswork seeing as it's never mentioned in the show or has been mentioned outside of it. If you have sources for what the geography could be or is then might want to give it a try otherwise it'll be removed. treelo _talk 10:18, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2010? =

Is it true that there was a final episode that aired in 2010? Rowman (talk) 00:06, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Characters

With the unsourced Character section, will the article have to be robbed of its GA status? Please say no... :) --Khanassassin ☪ 11:00, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The show's setting

This article says that the show takes place in Minnesota, in a few episodes like one in season 2, the dollar sign that has Adam says "Burbank", and in season 4, Phineas' alter-ago in his imagination is named "Sir Chauncy of Glendale", meaning the show takes place in Glendale. I think the show takes place in California rather than Minnesota. Is it possible if I can edit this article to change the setting of the location?
