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...

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...

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...
