Mandy is encouraged to enter a beauty pageant. In order to show her full beauty, she must do one thing one thing she doesn't usually do---smile.

---Vic's Review
13 October 2016

On this post, I said I might review this episode, so finally, here I go. This episode was full of that "you-know-what" Mindy and pageant moms using their daughters to live the dreams they wanted to have. I like how General Skarr was one of the judges. Toward the end, Mandy has her act singing her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." She's no Judy Garland but the performance was really touching. Fans of "2001: A Space Odyssey" would understand the reference shortly after Mandy curved up her lips. The fact that Cartoon Network Fridays was hyping this at the time of the premiere and even making her smile again at all makes me want to bellow "You fools! You messed with the natural order!"

With all the hype aside, this is just a regular episode with an event that caused disorder. If I were to rate this single ep, I might as well just rate the entire 4th season as well, but I won't. It's nice to see a random episode of "Billy and Mandy" once in a while. Not as great as pre-season 2 so it just gets 3 stars. Is it really worth catching up on what I've been missing? I just watched it when it first came out because I just decided to follow the hype even though I wasn't watching regular new episodes by that time.

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!

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...

News about 4kids tv

Read this: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/25/business/media/25kidstv.html?_r=1 and maybe this might help as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4Kids_TV I was never a big fan of 4Kids and I never watched it but the problem is, like I've been saying for a while here, I don't watch too much TV. There's nothing worth talking about. Hmm. Since about September 2007, on Saturday mornings, I would watch the programing on Spanish network Univision. I figure it would strengthen my Spanish speaking ability to help me with my job. About everything else on TV on SatAM is nothing but garbage. There are many reasons why certain networks stop showing cartoons where they were in the past. I'm just rambling on and on about nothing is on any more 'cause I need to put something on this blog. This is just news for people who liked 4Kids TV and need to hear news about it. See you later.
