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!

Vic's Review's VERY Last Gasp...on Blogger

Well, you saw this coming, didn't you? As I have told you in a previous post, this blog on Blogger will no longer be updated with new reviews. However, for historical and nostalgic purposes, the blog will remain up. I may or may not want to make another blog with Blogger. If so, what will the new blog be about? Blogger is a fine platform that had handled this blog very well through the years. It was very usable for blog beginners. Even I noticed the ease of use when starting this blog, my first blog. Though many things have changed since 2004, this platform is still very usable. I have the new blog set up but I have not posted anything yet. I was waiting to close out this blog first. This is made with the WordPress that was an option from my web hosting account (in other words, "wordpress.org," the non-free version). I am learning more about WordPress design/development so the blog will improve with time. The first post will come soon. Please stay tuned! http://ww...

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 c...

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...
