Bad news for "Thornberry", "RP", and "Hey Arnold" fans.

I was shocked to wake up this morning to find out that at 5:00 am (central time), the Klasky-Csupo created show The Wild Thornberrys (1998) and Rocket Power (1999) have been taken off the Nickelodeon schedual. Not to mention one of my other cancelled favorite shows Hey Arnold (1996). I'm not much of a Thornberrys fan, but Thornberrys has been replaced with a even worser show (I'm not even gonna say it right now, it's sooo horrible). Arnold, at 5:30 am, has been replaced by Teenage Robot. OK, I absolutly love Teenage Robot, but not that early in the morning. I'm not sure what Rocket Power was replaced with, but my biggest concern is with Hey Arnold.

I am so disapointed with Nickelodeon that they threw out a gem of my middle school girl years. The ep. that was supposed to be on was from probably somewhere in the 1st season. The begining of this series (1996-1997), just by watching them this time of my life, takes me back to the late '90s where nearly everything was just a field of dasies for me. In later episodes, it was the first time I hear the word "crap" in a Nickelodeon series. For those who are reading this and have "Nicktoons", they'll probably still play "HA" on there like what they do to the other old and outta production Nicktoons (another one, "KABLAM! Very good series. Another flashback show. Do they still play it on "Nicktoons"?) Sadly, I don't have "Nicktoons" so I have to live with my video tapes---yeah, especially since they have fair quality and I bought them in 1997 and 1998. I hope they keep well for a while during the next few years. I hardly play them. Like I said, It's a too darn shame that Nick kicked out one of my favorite Nicktoon gems out the window. RIP.

For thoes fans of the other shows, even thought I don't like them (although, I liked them at one point), I have sympathy for you folks. You all had your moments with the shows at lease once or twice or more, It's time to let go and go on for the rest of your lives. Find something new to watch. You'll might forget all about it. Who knows, Maybe the eps.'ll go out on DVD someday. I feel your pains, fans. But, hey, life goes on!

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...

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...
