Vic's Review

The title says it all! I hope ya'll ate so much Thanksgiving grub until you whole heart gave out. While we were all eating all this delicious food, Nickelodeon had its annual "Nicksgiving Weekend" Marathon deelee. Which brings me to my latest review about Nick's latest Nicktoon: The X's "The X's"? That's the name of the show. Nick just aired 3 eps. tonight. It totally kicked major booty. It's about this family of secret agents. They consist of Mr. X (1 st in command and the father), Mrs. X (mother), Tuesday (yep, spelt like the day of the week) X (older sister who thinks otherwise of her family traditions and jobs), and Truman X (youngest of the four X's). I'm gonna leave everything else for you to find out once you decide to like it. Their job: To save the world from S.N.A.F.U. led by the evil Glowface. O.K., I know this is a brand new show to the world and we all haven't haven't decided if we like it or not (if you have seen...

According to: http://teenageroblog.blogspot.com/ , there will be no 4th season. To me, that just smells. Nickelodeon said there will be no 4th season of My Life as a Teenage Robot because the ratings are just not enough for that many episodes. Like I said, I've been a fan of the show since the start I thought my like for it wouldn't go this far. But I was wrong. The bad news was communicated to the readers of the Teenage Roblog on October 17. Two years and 16 days after the show debuted. And at first I thought it had such low ratings in the first place. There's just one thing to do: tell people to watch it, whether they like it or not. Why heck, they might even like it at first watch. If that doesn't work, e-mail Nick at Nick.com or write them: Nickelodeon 1515 Broadway New York, New York, 10036 Yeah, and I wouldn't suggest calling because you get all those busy signals and voice messages and disconnections. So, if you wanna talk to the programers and/or the presi...

Sorry for the lack of updates these past few weeks (or past month, rather). I don't know when things'll get back to normal, but, hopefully soon. I have updates to give ya'll. Happy Halloween, everyone! Have a safe Halloween. Tip: If the candy's already opened, don't eat it! Someone must of done something to it. So, be safe, have fun, and, like I said last year, trade candy with your friends. I had to tell you this tonight because, who knows, I might forget tomorrow. You know, with schoolwork and junk like that. Have a nice Halloween, anyway. And remember: always pick treat. If you pick trick, Bad things'll happen. You know...

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 wa...

I don't know where to start 'cause this is my first Atomic Betty review. Although this show has been mentioned about twice during the one year this blog has been around. According to the copyright date at the end of the ending credits, it said it aired last year (2004) so this rewiew is quite late. This aired during Fridays . They claimed this was a Holloween episode, though I saw nothing Holloween about it. It looked as if it were just a typical episode. Tajja Isen (Betty) was a guest star. Now I finally know what she looks like. She wasn't how I expected, but she proved she was Tajja "Atomic Betty" Isen none the less. Also, her singing's OK though (the singing was near the end of the 2nd 15 minutes). As I heard, this episode of "Fridays" was supposed to consist of about all Holloween episodes of cartoons. There was probably some hidden holloween stuff in this Atomic Betty, but I could barely find it. I'm sorry, this doesn't deserve the wh...

http://viccantalk.blogspot.com/2004/10/evil-con-carne-and-scary-godmother.html Yes, it's the Scary Godmother again and she's back in another 1 hour special on "Cartoon Network" called, (see the title). Compared to the one from last year, as I think now, I have no favorite. I like both of them the same. In this sequal, some of the times, they reminise back to the first "SGM" and... you know, make the story. To prove it...someone said, "last year, I or someone did or said something" blada, blada, blada. I have to say this, they did have the party scene with thoes cool backgrounds when they have a dancing montage. This year, the whole gang came. The same characters from last year were there. Most everything about that movie was absolutly fabulous. Although there wasn't that kick-butt music in the opening, but they had it during the dance scene. And, if you look cafefully at the "control room" screens Harry was in, each screen has a flash...

Tonight, at 9:22 pm, this blog turn 1 year old. Time runs fast, doesn't it? I don't know what happened, but does it seem to you that the newer post are less attractive than the earlier ones? And you know what's even worse? I haven't got up to 100 post yet. Some people's blogs, by the first year, would get up to 95 post by the 10th month. It's just sad that there is currently 73 post on this blog. Besides, I haven't been doing very many reviews since whenever. As crazy as this sounds, I counted, I did 18 reviews during this whole year. All the other entries are news, anniversary, and complaint entires. I should start doing more reviews this year. That a resultion. I hope this blog keeps running and keeps going strong for years and for years to come. God Bless this blog!!! (more reviews and stuff coming soon.)

I was searching http://toonzone.net forum when I came across this topic that said something about Nick Animation in Burbank, California CLOSING DOWN!!! That's right, closing down according to http://www.cartoonbrew.com . For thoes, who work there, I hope they find animation studios that are just as good as NA (like, for instance, in their own basements. Most cartoonist I know work in their basements.) All the worrying about this might cause some of my favorite cartoons to "Junp the shark." I probably said this once, though I'll say it again (slightly different), I wonder how the people who work (or worked there) feel about finding places to draw, write, and tape their shows to send to the Nickelodeon for us good watchers. The building came in business somewhere in 1998. The animation studio had to die young, didn't it? Well, I'm not sure if it's true or not because I only saw the article in one place. Probably Butch (Hartman) said something in his forum a...

On this day in the year 2003 in Canada on Teletoon at a unknown time, MDTRS debuted for the 1st episode as Welcome to Silent Springs which, when debuted on Nick 1 year and 5 months later, was the same one. But that's not why I doing this post. One thing I want to talk about is when will Nickelodeon get rid of MDTRS ? I'm just asking. Also, from watching each episode (excluding the Christmas one) 4-6 times, they all started to get stale. If they really did get rid of it, what will I miss of it? Well, The characters were fun to look at (i.e. Willy, Rock, Skunk, Alyssa Quincy). And I think that's about it. And, of course, there's the DVD that's coming out on the 20th. If it's rentable, I'll rent it when I really miss it. One ep. I haven't seen yet was, like I said, was the Christmas one (I forgot the actual title). Maybe Nick'll keep the show till the end of 2005, that way they can show the Christmas one (I hope they show it. My goal was to watch every ...

Cartoon Network is currently airing the 100th episode of Fridays. The word of the day is hunnert (is that what it is?) And now, they're making a big stinkin' deal outta it. OK, I'll let it slide this time since it's a celebration and one of the block's milestone. But my only problem with Fridays these days is Tara (who, according to Tommy, has been on the show for 34 eps., is probably the crook whom I should bust for making such a what used to be, a "cool" block, a living heck.) and because the kids always have to be so hyper and say things in the bumpers like "we return with "the all-new" (your show here), right here on Fridays." (or something like that) Who came up with that idea? That was such a horrible idea. If Nzinga was still there, I wonder how it would be like. Probably cool, calm, and collected, just how I like it. With children who can calm themselves and NO HOT CHICKS! (that means you, Tara.) And, If you would just look at t...

This ep. first aired sometime in 2004. Well, that's what it said in the copyright date at the end of the credits. I saw this one yesterday. The first half was when this guy was taking everyone's nose and doing something with it. One of the things he was doing was he was scooping all the snot out all of them. He was taking them because he was jealous he didn't have one because he lost his somehow. It was wierd seeing Billy without a nose for the first time. And something that I have nothing to say about, is that in the credits, a doctor must of worked on it because the title "Dr." was in it. He must know lots about noses. He might as well be a nose doctor.He was producing some smell that makes Billy's nose run off while he's sleeping. And his nose could talk. His nose loved the smell.Is it just me, when Billy had no nose, he spoke funny. Well, duh, without a (working) nose, you can't speak normally. What a wierd part of an episode! Then, of course, ther...

It was that summer in 2003 on this very day at 7:30 pm on a Friday night when "MLAATR" was first shown as a regular series. In case you didn't know, this was originally a cartoon short on one of Nick's cartoon anthology shows "Oh yeah cartoons" originally named "My Neighbor has a Teenage Robot." The animation was much more different and worse than the kind we have today. Before it first aired, they made a big deal outta it by playing a promo per every commercial break. Every time I looked at the show, I kept screaming in exitement. But then a few weeks later, I got over it. And that was good. We fans wish this show well and many more great years on the air. I still have my hots over it; and the fire has been burning for the past 2 years. 2 years, WOW! I can't believe I stayed with a Nicktoon for that long. It's normally I stay with one for either under one year or one year and 2 months. Not 2 years and whenever. I'm afraid that my fire ...

OK, I have to admit, I haven't liked GABAM as much as I used to a year ago. This morning, I saw a Fridays promo. There's a new "Camp Lazlo" (see later article) and they said there's a new episode of "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." They say it's the first time Mandy smiles. I could of sworn she smiled in a very early episode. Like that part when Grim said, "I love you" towards the end of an episode called "Meet the Reaper" (?). Then as it was ending, a circle was aroung Mandy's face and she seemed to have beared a grin. Maybe they mean in these newer eps. In the newer eps, no smiles for Mandy till now. But wait! Didn't she smile a little in "Crushed" when she thought she had a crush with Billy's new friend. Curse this bad memory. Well, this Friday, Mandy smiles once more. Grim and Billy encourage her to. I probably will watch it. It depends on how much TV I watch that day. Why, heck, I'll probabl...

I want to wish everyone reading this a Happy Independence Day! Have fun, eat barbeque, and watch the fireworks at night. I'm gonna do another review soon, hopefully. I'm really obsessed over it and I feel as it I have to express them. Well, gotta go! VMM, signing off!

http://viccantalk.blogspot.com/2005/05/mac-daddy-review.html Look, I'm sorry for the inaccuracy in the post above. Mac Daddy and Bye, Bye Nerdy are 2 different episodes. I'm sorry I lied to you. Please forgive me. I thought "BBN" was pretty good. I especially liked seeing Frankie on her computer. I guess it goes to show that she's a lefty. How do I know? I noticed it because of where her mouse is. I noticed her mouse was on the left side of her keyboard. And also, (he-he. excuse me, my mom has to be a jerk about everything today. You didn't need to know that, didn't you?) of course, she was using her left hand. Well, that wasn't important. I have nothing else it say but this: the morale of the story was be yourself. Mac even gave the speech to the people who wanted to adopt Bloo. Then, after that speech, people thought Mac wasn't cool anymore. Whoever hasn't seen it, I'm not saying anymore. I give this one 4 stars. Why not 5? It w...

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 ...

That's right, folks! Tv Tome is gone and got replaced by http://www.tv.com/ . So, if you look at the past post and if they have Tv Tome URLs in them, don't click on them. I might as well give you stuff I find in the new website; although there's not as much info as the old site, but who knows, I might find something interesting that I feel like showing you. You know, when I think about Tv Tome, I think about the good times I used to have. Like when I used to check news in a flash or that time I was reading the "Hey Arnold" goof guide that had bad words in them. I laughed my heart out. Tv Tome was much easier to navigate. OK, and I also think the tv.com list is safer because it saves the webmasters time and us websurfer bandwith. Once you get used to the site, you'll probably find some use in it. I just felt like I had to put up this post just to tell you not to click on the Tv Tome links in the older post. More news and reviews soon. VMM, signing off!

Guess what, tonight at 11:01 pm, central time, a certain network is going to show 4 of the classic episodes on...guess... Mtv? Vh1? Spike tv? Nick? If none of those, which one? You are not gonna believe this but they are gonna show it on, drum-roll, please... Tv Land! That's right, Tv Land! "RAS" is perhaps the first cartoon they played since Tv Land debuted in 1997. I didn't have it back then. Did you also know that all they played on that station was old commercials and older shows (i.e. "Mary Tyler Moore," "Have Gun, Will Travel," "The Phil Silvers Show")? I gave my "SO" a tape that had the old crap on there. These days there is newer stuff (i.e. Hunter, 1980's, they played older stuff back then, like what I said.). I wonder how good the raitings will be. So, if you watch it, I suggest that you enjoy them. The good eps., as some fans call it, ran from 1991-c.1992. Why did they stop? They stopped because the people working...

Has anybody seen this show. To me, I think it's just another piece of brillance from Cartoon Network. My uncle likes it, too. Now, I'm gonna review the first ep. It's called something "It's Your Party and I can Wine If I Want To." It's pretty good. It was pretty funny, too. In the begining of this ep., there was this overhead sign that had the name of the city the cartoon takes place in. Orchid Bay City to be exact. That was a great was to start off a series. The peoson whoes responsible for this genous series is named Judd Winick. Whoever has info about about this dude, you know the drill (for thoes who are new to this blog, e-mail me!). We were introduced to the characters who are Jodi (friend), Juniper, Ray Ray (brother), Monroe (her dog who talks), Ophelia (who-looks-like-goth friend), Roger (friend?), and her Ah-Mah (granddmother; forbids June from telling people she fights monsters). The monsters that were there were the Leprechaun and the Racatan. O...

There is now this show on Nickelodeon that's replacing "My Dad the Rockstar" in the 4:30 (central time) slot. It's called "Martin Mystery." It comes to us from YTV in Canada which is probably why people despise this show. Another reason is that the studio that created it is called "Marathon." It's also the studio they made "Totally Spies" (which I don't like as much). Call me crazy, but I like this show because I like looking at Martin. He makes me wanna smile :-)! This show came on Nick US on about May 16. It's about Martin and his step-sister, Diana, and their caveman friend, Java. Together, they fight evil and save people from being attacked from crazy things. I hope it's gonna be on later today at 4:30. It's not as good as MDTRS, but it does good to me.Watch it and believe me! Enjoy!
