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.

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.

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!

"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 ...

"Foster's" on Kids' WB?

I believe so. According to the Toonzone forums, It will start July 9. I'm not sure wether i'm gonna watch it or not. I guess the old saying is true, "be careful what you wish for, it might come true." I was wondering when the day would come. It's not even gonna last a year. Probably because K.W.B. signed the contract to where it last less than a year. Same with PowerPuff Girls (sister), Kids Next Door, and even Samuri Jack didn't last long either. I hope it doesn't cause the show to jump the shark. Like I said, i've been watching the show since the beginning. It started perfect, it better end perfect, or else. Kids' WB is more oriented for anime. Really and seriously, "Foster's" is not anime (no action, not from Japan). Cartoon Network and WB are both owned by Time Warner. Time Warner must be on crack. Ah, well, let's just hope that the show gets good raitings there and enjoy it while it last. Remember: Never stop being fans of ...
