StipinCHOUstipiction

Originally Written 19-22 October 2016

I was looking back at a Cartoon Network Fridays show from 10 September 2004 and, as usual, it made me feel like I was still in that time period. It also included the "Wurd [sic] of the Day" segment. Remember how the ridiculously made-up word was introduced then a child from the audience spelled out the word spelling bee style? The word on the screen as introduced was spelled exactly like this: Stiptinchoustipiction. Used in a sentence, as said by Long Haul in his 18-wheeler, "I ordered me a chicken nugget and it was dipped in 'choustipiction'" (I doubt it was supposed to make sense). Then it sped over to the audience with their attention on a girl leaned over a low microphone spelling the word. All went well until she substituted the U with a W (StiptinchoWstipiction). Sometimes in this segment when the child has finished spelling, a voice would say, "That is...correct!" Not this time. They just went to the cheering and a bell jingling. They probably knew she spelled it wrong, everyone just started cheering to boost her self-esteem (shows what I know (and remember) but that's just me).

Since this was just a made-up word, was there really any correct spelling? The way Long Haul put it in a sentence hardly made any sense but who cares? He made it sound like the word pertained to food. Maybe it did. If this were a spelling bee setting, wouldn't she have to spell it right? I guess it's too late for a correction now.

I miss Cartoon Network Fridays. It was something to look forward every week. Then it went bad later on.

Again, this is what I see as I present my opinions.

Hey Danny Phantom fans, guess what!

I'm sorry for the lack of updates these past few days. My computer keeps acting up and i've been busy with stuff. Well, anyway, in the Butch Hartman forum, Butch says that Nickelodeon has renewed Danny Phantom for a 3rd season. Spread the word, everyone!!! And there are also new episodes coming this June. I can't wait. I hope they don't stink because i've been liking the show since it came out on April 3, 2004. If I like one, i'll review it when I get the chance. Let's now come back to the subject of updating. I'll probably do more post this summer if there's things to be discussed. I hope you all have a great summer and enjoy the new "Danny Phantom"s. like I said, I'll put up a review once i've seen one. VMM, signing off!

Goodbye to Bloo - Reviewed

Originally Written 25 December 2016 Goodbye to Bloo Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Cartoon Network 3 May 2009 As I said in an earlier post , I didn't get to see this ep when it premiered. I found out about it the next day. Not even 2 years later I finally got to see the episode. Yeah, the week of 3 May 2009 wasn't the best week for me (for personal reasons). To this day I have seen "Goodbye to Bloo" several times and here's what I think of it. They tried to make it where Mac would no longer be coming to Foster's when it was something else entirely. This was how they ended the series. Even if I had absolutely no idea this was the actual last episode, I can tell it's the final episode just by seeing how the story proceeds and ends. Toward the very end, upon closing the episode, the ending made my mind flash backwards through the entire series, remembering the great and not-so-great moments that made "Foster's" "Foster...

"Mucha Lucha " fans BEWARE!

For those who watch and favroite show is the show named above, I got some bad news and probably some good news. The season airing will probably be the LAST season to air. And I bet you are so sad to have had heard that news. But, If i'm not mistaking, there's hope. :-) Cartoon Network will probably play some reruns for a little longer (like what they are doing to "Static Shock" and "Ozzy & Drix.) Now do you feel better? But please, don't take my word for it. I cannot predict the future. I do not have phyic powers. But I'll tell you this. This series will probably stay for 52 eppies. Poor series. :-( I bet you the creators are very dissipointed that their show, their baby, will get canned! And I also bet you that they are just as sad as you. But don't worry! As cartoon lovers, we can find a cartoon just as "Mucha Lucha" was. And we can catch reruns on Catoon Network. God Bless Cartoon Network and the show, itself. The show will just ...
