Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Xiaolin Showdown earns its spot. Xiaolin Showdown gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Xiaolin Showdown is an American animated television series that aired on Kids WB and was created by Christy Hui. Set in a world where martial arts battles and Eastern magic are commonplace, the series follows four young warriors in training that battle the forces of evil. They do this by protecting Shen Gong Wu from villains that would use them to conquer the world. Between them, Tara Strong and Grey DeLisle carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Across 3 seasons (2003–2006), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Xiaolin Showdown holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Xiaolin Showdown is a strong candidate. Fish Hooks is the obvious comparison, but Xiaolin Showdown earns its own place alongside it. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Tara Strong's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments.
