April Fools Day/ Nickelodeon's birthday

April Fools Day, everyone! Did you also know that Nick was launched on the same day twenty-six years ago? Yep, it was that that spring in 1979. Last year (June 2004), they actually celebrated by doing this thing in U-Pick live called "The Old-School Pick." It was great while it lasted. It lasted for only 2 weeks. I could of sworn that they were gonna do it all June. But on the 2nd week, we just got a whole week of "Danny Phantom." And it went on for the rest of the month. I like DP ,but I rather see the old shows. I especially like to watch this "old-school Nick" show called "You Can't Do that on Television." Like I said, I'm into Canadian stuff. That's probably why I liked it. There was a sign that they were going to stop showing the old shows because one time, "YCDTOTV" won and guess what we got on the 2nd half after they went to a commercial break. THEY PLAYED A 15 MINUTE EP OF (ew!) "FAIRLY ODDPARENTS! (the ep was called "Spaced Out" which came out in 2001.) Even after that FOP, they said it was the "old-school pick." FOP's not old-school! It's 2001. That time "U-Pick" was probably pre-recorded. And for "YCDTOTV," that's like 1979 or 1980 (depending when it aired). Now that's old school! I miss it so. They did something last year because Nick was turning 25. You'd see things or famous people celebrate like their 20th, 25th, or 30th aniversary or birthday. It would feel pretty awkward to celebrate the 21st, 24th, or 26th. I doubt Nick's gonna do something special this year. Although, I liked what happened last year.

So, everyone, have a happy April Fools Day. Play pranks on people and don't fall for their jokes. And be sure to wish Nickelodeon a happy birthday, also. I will put more reviews up when I see something cool. VMM, signing off!

My Thoughts on "Catscratch"

Originally written 29 January 2017 Catscratch Nickelodeon 9 July 2005-10 February 2008 Since "Camp Lazlo" (7-8-05) and "Catscratch" (7-9-05) premiered on night apart, I'd thought I'd post each review on the same day. Lala Lala La-La-La, Catscratch! Now that someday is today, let's discuss Nickelodeon's mid-'00s animated show, "Catscratch." Even though it's from what Nick might call their "Dark Ages" (times they wish to forget, one of the few shows that have not had a full DVD release or official release on streaming platforms), this show is quite excellent. Here are some reasons. If you were to have a single glance at the 3 main characters, would you believe they were cats? They may not look like cats but who cares? Sure the show had anthropomorphic cats but you have to see what they do. They take care of their deceased "kitty mommy"'s property and the adventures are quite interesting. Some of th...

Ellerbee on TV

Guess what. During "U-pick Live," my Aunt Gertrude called my Uncle Joe because Candise was on (she's one of the hosts' of the show). Then, when he made it to the TV, none other than LINDA ELLERBEE, I mean THE LINDA ELLERBEE on TV. She was talking about that "kids pick the president" thing I keep hearing about. Then he's all like "Ahhhhhhhh! Run away!" I felt like I had to say something about that because it was all funny and stuff. Kind of sounds like A.G. was joking him with some woman he dosen't like. I forget why he hates her, but he just does. He likes Candise better than that... Like I said, kind of sounds like a joke, eh? Well that's pretty much all I have to say about that funny little thing. And thats the end of that! Or is it? Butch: Vicky! Myself: Okay! I'll say it. VMM signing off!

My Fair Smiling Mandy

Originally written 13 October 2016 My Fair Mandy Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Cartoon Network 29 July 2005 Mandy is encouraged to enter a beauty pageant. In order to show her full beauty, she must do one thing one thing she doesn't usually do---smile. ---Vic's Review 13 October 2016 On this post , I said I might review this episode, so finally, here I go. This episode was full of that "you-know-what" Mindy and pageant moms using their daughters to live the dreams they wanted to have. I like how General Skarr was one of the judges. Toward the end, Mandy has her act singing her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." She's no Judy Garland but the performance was really touching. Fans of "2001: A Space Odyssey" would understand the reference shortly after Mandy curved up her lips. The fact that Cartoon Network Fridays was hyping this at the time of the premiere and even making her smile again at all makes me want to bellow...
