Happy New Year 2006...ALREADY!!!!!

My, time flies when you don't keep track of your blog. I swear to Wallace, I WILL have post 100 by this coming year. A reason, I might have said this before, I don't post much is partly because to me there has been nothing but garbage these past few months. Pretty much nothing has been going on since my last spectacular post (Which was when? Like last year or something). So all I have to say now is Happy New Year. Have a nice 2007. VMM signing off.

"Good Wilt Hunting" Review

Firstly I have to tell you Happy Thanksgiving. This will be my first post on my Blogger beta account. I've been on blogger since '04 and I was known as fostersfan666. I loved it a whole lot. Now I have ot use my gawdy hotmail address. I've been using it since 11-10 and I am NOT enjoying it. We all have to move on sometimes, right? I finally got to see the lastst "Foster's" tv movie "Good Wilt Hunting" just now. "Good Wilt Hunting" is about when Wilt goes to find his creator to appoligise for ruining his basketball dream. The TV movie aired yesterday when I was out of town for the holiday. I finally got to see it tonight. This is what I thought about it. As a "Foster's" fan of 2 years (to me 2 years is a really long time), this show has lost some of its touch but not enough of it for me to just slip out. This movie was one of the things that gave the show some of its touch back. Of course, it featured Wilt, one of my all time ...

CN Friday's has never been the same

Seriously. I've been noticing this for quite some time. Of course, it was Tara who led to it's downfall. Back then, it was pretty much bumpers, creative skits, game time, and a lot more goodies. Now look-cruddy skits, annoying bumpers, gross kiddie games, and the worst part ever-time robbing musical guests. Every time a song is sung or the encore of a song I mute the TV. They don't belongs on Fridays. Heck, they don't even belong on Cartoon Network anyway. I think I'm more used to the first seasons of Fridays as opposed to today's Tara era. And I've been noticing that it's been ending earlier. Why? I'm sorry but these days I don't watch as much Friday night cartoons as much as I did-oh say-a year or two years ago. The bottom line: for me Fridays has offically Jumped the Shark. End of story!

It's possible...

That next month this blog will be back up and running with new news and reviews. I'll probably get back into the spirit of watching cartoons and rating them. And some of the information will be from Nick Magazine, the magazine i've been subscribing to for 13 years. So either expect a new post tomorrow or this coming Friday. Let's see what happens. This may not work but I'll do my best.

Blog on hiatus

Vic here! I'm sorry for the lack of info last month. I've been noticing I haven't been watching as many cartoons as I used to. I think it started when I turned 20 during an out of state vacation. But I do have some things to tell you have I haven't mentioned on this blog before. I would end this blog but that, to me, would be a big negatory. I'm very bad at giving things away. So I'm just gonna do my best to update this blog when I get a chance. So just stay tuned and like I used to say: "Never stop loving your favorite shows". Well I gotta go now. I haven't given up completely on this blog. More updates later. VMM HAS SPOKEN!!!

Yes!

Well, well, well, it seems like "someone's" coming into the campaign industry. I've been noticing, whenever I watch Cartoon Network, when a promo comes on, at the end, it has Bloo from Foster's... says "Cartoon Network." After that a banner under the CN logo shows up. After Bloo says "Cartoon Network," you hear Fred Fredburger(?) from Billy & Mandy say "Yes" in his usual annoying voice. I read someone say that on Boomerang they play long promos and they use that same "yes" with them. This might be a summer slogan. It probably might be used when the summer is over. If anyone wants any proof they can see here: http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/promos/summer2006/ [dead link] . Do you notice how Disney Channel and Nick don't use slogans anymore? Now look at CN with "Yes." Minus the voice of Fred Fredburger, it seems like one heck of a slogan, even though it's not much. There can be a lot worse things than th...

Forgive me...

For the previous post, it was responding to the entry that it was linking to. I updated my SBC browser and when I have 2 windows opened at once and I minimize a window to see another one, it just comes up by itself and it won't let me edit the way I need to. And when I try to edit the post, It doesn't have the whole post. The previous post isn't complete, I don't know why. But, hopefully, i'll might find out. More news and rants later.

"Johnny Test" and "Coconut Fred"

Well anyway, i'm here to put in my 2 cents for two replacement shows listed in the entry: "Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island" and "Johnny Test." I found out what "Loonatics" was. It was terrible. "Coconut Fred" and "Johnny Test" were both very good. The saddest part is that, I'm not sure about the Test dude, but news that saddens me is that "Coconut Fred" is over. I found this out today that the last 4 episodes aired every Saturday in May. I didn't know that. Maybe WB will reair them the next 4 Saturdays. I know it might seem like a stupid, poorly animated to others but to me and other people, I really like it. 5 stars. It was a sad thing to hear that it's over. What about "Johnny Test"? Like "Coconut Fred," I didn't fall in love with it the first episode because I wasn't there. When I first saw it, I was laughing and I was begging for more. And, as you know, I have been ...

That's new!/Family Guy Lookout

If you watched the Simpsons tonight on FOX and has seen the opening, you may have noticed that it was live-actioned. That's right, that was the brand new opening to the the Simpsons and I betcha it's here to stay. I think it was taped in England. I can tell because 1) The first or second thing you see it the school. It looks like the schools they have in Great Britain. 2) Because of the way the real Simpsons are styled, they look like a typical English family. And 3) If you look closely that part when real Marge and real Maggie were driving, in America the steering wheel is on the left side, that steering is on the right side, the way most countires have their cars. Oh, and I forgot, 4) When they're in the driveway, those DO NOT look like American license plates. They look sort of British. And those are the reasons why I think the opening was taped in England. If you haven't seen it yet, see it in the next new episode, I'm not sure when. If you have, what's your...

CBS & WB merging

This is old news but I have to let you know. This is one of the articles I have found during my quest over the i-net: http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/24/news/companies/cbs_warner/ .This fall, CBS will merge with WB to develop the CW. The "C" stands for CBS while the "W" stands for Warner. UPN will go off the air as well. But CW will show most of the shows that are hits of UPN. Now I have a question, is there gonna be a kid's block on CW? What will it have on it? What I suggest CW does is to leave off where they left off on the cartoon shows. That way all those kids that don't know what's happening can be consoled by their classic laughs. Well there has to be. Probably CW will have to follow the E/I rules that the other broadcast networks have to follow. They don't like following that rule but they are forced to do it. They do it for all those kids who don't have cable. I betcha most of you are thinking to yourselves that this was a lame post. Yes i...

I looooved tonight's new X's

You bet I did! And don't worry, someday i'll do more reviews other that "Foster's" and "X's". It's just i've been tied up in knots these days. Let's go on. The first part: well, it was pretty good but the main thing I wanna discuss is the 2nd part. A kewl part: SPY CON '06 Now when was the last I saw the exact year in a cartoon, eh? Like I normally say I'm gonna wait 'till you see it. I don't wanna spoil it. But I have to spoil a little for you so don't feel too satated. Mr. and Mrs. X are at a fancy French restaurant. Glowface's men break in the restaurant. When they fought, you should see them. They fought them in a romantic way that made me smile. S.N.A.F.U. thought it was nasty (hey, i've seen worse. In fact today I saw something nastier. This is a kids' network. There shouldn't be anything nastier than that.) but I thought it was absolutely beautiful. More spoiling coming up. They were gonna f...

**SPOILER** "One False Movie" Review

Another "Foster's review?" You got it! I just hope i'm not overdoing them. Today, February 9, 2006, Cartoon Network aired the latest episode of "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends." One word: WOW! That movie that Bloo made was well worth the money. Sadly, it had no ending all because, here's the big spoiling part, Eduardo taped over it with his Dora-the Explorer (shrugs) type show. In the "Foster's" version of "Dora", the girl's not Mexican and it can be annoying like the girl can repeat stuff over and over until it gets inot Eduardo's head. That made me laugh. OK, back to the real thing. One of my favorite parts when Wilt was singing in that vortex-type thingy that leads to the future. He has a nice singing voice. And of course, I'm leaving everything else out until you watch it. I highly reccomend this episode. 5 stars! I also like that computer-animated Eduardo. The animators must of had fun with that. Oh, and ...

HYPOCRITES!!!

Last night, I was expecting new episodes of "Catscratch" (more about it someday) and "The X's". What did Nick replace them with? 6:00: the first 30 minutes of the "Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour 2-When Nerds Collide" 6:30: (instead of "Catscratch" I think) the 2nd half of the movie above. 7:00: Drake and Josh Go Hollywood 7:30: (instead of "The X's", I'm positive) it continued 8:00: continued 8:30: Spongebob 9:00: off the air Earlier this week Nickelodeon advertised there was gonna be a new "Catscratch" and "X's". Did Nick even tell us the new eps were gonna get replaced. Why did they do it? Low ratings? They should of warned us if they were changing the Friday night schedual. Maybe they did. I don't watch much Nick as I used to. I was busy this week. Nick had better show those new episodes someday. I've antisapating them them all Friday. (sighs) All that exitment for nothing. They said they were gonn...
