Very long-awaited belated Christmas Review

Originally written 8 January 2016 (one year ago tomorrow)

Home for the Holly Daze
My Dad the Rockstar
Teletoon (Canada)/Nickelodeon (United States)
22 December 2003 (approx.; Teletoon)

In 2005, Nickelodeon aired the Canadian animated television series, "My Dad the Rockstar." Each episode was aired except for the Christmas episode. I have promised to review it as soon as I've seen it (mentioned at the bottom of this post). I finally got to watch it once in 2011 then again in 2016. I will review this rockin' and heartwarming Christmas special here.

"Home for the Holly Daze" Review

Was there a reason why Nick never showed this and I had to wait years to finally see it? Well, it was worth the wait! That insane Hollywood-like director had no business glamorizing what was to be a simple Christmas pageant. It was good that those involved found a place to perform the pageant at the end. Rock sang an epic rendition of a well-known Christmas carol then later made up a pumped up introduction to the Christmas pageant. It got me pumped up! For the past few years, it's like Christmases have been pretty dull for me and the regular Christmas specials have been repetitive. Even though this is an older special, this sure breaks the monotony. This festively jammin' Christmas episode receives 5 stars. It surely was something different from the other Christmas specials on TV every year. This episode was certainly worth the wait! 

P.S. 110th post! 😃

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...
