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!

Top 10 Things I Learned from Making Vic's Review

Hello again! I hope all is well. I have been coming up with some great ideas for reviews in the past years and I feel I have the energy and talent to write them. However, they will NOT be on this blog. As I may have mentioned in an earlier post, I will be continuing this blog on a different platform. I feel the content on this old blog will be no fit for the topics and writing style of my current days. It's time to move on. More information will be coming shortly. Before my farewells, here are 10 things I have learned from writing this blog on and off for the past nearly 14 years. NOTE: click the linked content at your own risk. 10. Proofread and learn to spell! I've been reading many of my earlier post and have been thinking "Aw, man, what was I thinking? That 'your' is supposed to be 'you're'" and other errors such as misspelling character names. This may have been a time before spell check was standard in browsers. Now granted, when doin...

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!

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...
