Vic's Review

Vic here! I'm sorry for the lack of info last month. I've been noticing I haven't been watching as many cartoons as I used to. I think it started when I turned 20 during an out of state vacation. But I do have some things to tell you have I haven't mentioned on this blog before. I would end this blog but that, to me, would be a big negatory. I'm very bad at giving things away. So I'm just gonna do my best to update this blog when I get a chance. So just stay tuned and like I used to say: "Never stop loving your favorite shows". Well I gotta go now. I haven't given up completely on this blog. More updates later. VMM HAS SPOKEN!!!

Well, well, well, it seems like "someone's" coming into the campaign industry. I've been noticing, whenever I watch Cartoon Network, when a promo comes on, at the end, it has Bloo from Foster's... says "Cartoon Network." After that a banner under the CN logo shows up. After Bloo says "Cartoon Network," you hear Fred Fredburger(?) from Billy & Mandy say "Yes" in his usual annoying voice. I read someone say that on Boomerang they play long promos and they use that same "yes" with them. This might be a summer slogan. It probably might be used when the summer is over. If anyone wants any proof they can see here: http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/promos/summer2006/ [dead link] . Do you notice how Disney Channel and Nick don't use slogans anymore? Now look at CN with "Yes." Minus the voice of Fred Fredburger, it seems like one heck of a slogan, even though it's not much. There can be a lot worse things than th...

For the previous post, it was responding to the entry that it was linking to. I updated my SBC browser and when I have 2 windows opened at once and I minimize a window to see another one, it just comes up by itself and it won't let me edit the way I need to. And when I try to edit the post, It doesn't have the whole post. The previous post isn't complete, I don't know why. But, hopefully, i'll might find out. More news and rants later.

Well anyway, i'm here to put in my 2 cents for two replacement shows listed in the entry: "Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island" and "Johnny Test." I found out what "Loonatics" was. It was terrible. "Coconut Fred" and "Johnny Test" were both very good. The saddest part is that, I'm not sure about the Test dude, but news that saddens me is that "Coconut Fred" is over. I found this out today that the last 4 episodes aired every Saturday in May. I didn't know that. Maybe WB will reair them the next 4 Saturdays. I know it might seem like a stupid, poorly animated to others but to me and other people, I really like it. 5 stars. It was a sad thing to hear that it's over. What about "Johnny Test"? Like "Coconut Fred," I didn't fall in love with it the first episode because I wasn't there. When I first saw it, I was laughing and I was begging for more. And, as you know, I have been ...

Still got "Foster's"? Here 'ya go: http://fosterstv.blogspot.com By Craig M. himself.

If you watched the Simpsons tonight on FOX and has seen the opening, you may have noticed that it was live-actioned. That's right, that was the brand new opening to the the Simpsons and I betcha it's here to stay. I think it was taped in England. I can tell because 1) The first or second thing you see it the school. It looks like the schools they have in Great Britain. 2) Because of the way the real Simpsons are styled, they look like a typical English family. And 3) If you look closely that part when real Marge and real Maggie were driving, in America the steering wheel is on the left side, that steering is on the right side, the way most countires have their cars. Oh, and I forgot, 4) When they're in the driveway, those DO NOT look like American license plates. They look sort of British. And those are the reasons why I think the opening was taped in England. If you haven't seen it yet, see it in the next new episode, I'm not sure when. If you have, what's your...

This is old news but I have to let you know. This is one of the articles I have found during my quest over the i-net: http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/24/news/companies/cbs_warner/ .This fall, CBS will merge with WB to develop the CW. The "C" stands for CBS while the "W" stands for Warner. UPN will go off the air as well. But CW will show most of the shows that are hits of UPN. Now I have a question, is there gonna be a kid's block on CW? What will it have on it? What I suggest CW does is to leave off where they left off on the cartoon shows. That way all those kids that don't know what's happening can be consoled by their classic laughs. Well there has to be. Probably CW will have to follow the E/I rules that the other broadcast networks have to follow. They don't like following that rule but they are forced to do it. They do it for all those kids who don't have cable. I betcha most of you are thinking to yourselves that this was a lame post. Yes i...

You bet I did! And don't worry, someday i'll do more reviews other that "Foster's" and "X's". It's just i've been tied up in knots these days. Let's go on. The first part: well, it was pretty good but the main thing I wanna discuss is the 2nd part. A kewl part: SPY CON '06 Now when was the last I saw the exact year in a cartoon, eh? Like I normally say I'm gonna wait 'till you see it. I don't wanna spoil it. But I have to spoil a little for you so don't feel too satated. Mr. and Mrs. X are at a fancy French restaurant. Glowface's men break in the restaurant. When they fought, you should see them. They fought them in a romantic way that made me smile. S.N.A.F.U. thought it was nasty (hey, i've seen worse. In fact today I saw something nastier. This is a kids' network. There shouldn't be anything nastier than that.) but I thought it was absolutely beautiful. More spoiling coming up. They were gonna f...

Another "Foster's review?" You got it! I just hope i'm not overdoing them. Today, February 9, 2006, Cartoon Network aired the latest episode of "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends." One word: WOW! That movie that Bloo made was well worth the money. Sadly, it had no ending all because, here's the big spoiling part, Eduardo taped over it with his Dora-the Explorer (shrugs) type show. In the "Foster's" version of "Dora", the girl's not Mexican and it can be annoying like the girl can repeat stuff over and over until it gets inot Eduardo's head. That made me laugh. OK, back to the real thing. One of my favorite parts when Wilt was singing in that vortex-type thingy that leads to the future. He has a nice singing voice. And of course, I'm leaving everything else out until you watch it. I highly reccomend this episode. 5 stars! I also like that computer-animated Eduardo. The animators must of had fun with that. Oh, and ...

Last night, I was expecting new episodes of "Catscratch" (more about it someday) and "The X's". What did Nick replace them with? 6:00: the first 30 minutes of the "Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour 2-When Nerds Collide" 6:30: (instead of "Catscratch" I think) the 2nd half of the movie above. 7:00: Drake and Josh Go Hollywood 7:30: (instead of "The X's", I'm positive) it continued 8:00: continued 8:30: Spongebob 9:00: off the air Earlier this week Nickelodeon advertised there was gonna be a new "Catscratch" and "X's". Did Nick even tell us the new eps were gonna get replaced. Why did they do it? Low ratings? They should of warned us if they were changing the Friday night schedual. Maybe they did. I don't watch much Nick as I used to. I was busy this week. Nick had better show those new episodes someday. I've antisapating them them all Friday. (sighs) All that exitment for nothing. They said they were gonn...

I know this is kinda late but welcome to a new year of "Vic's review". This is the first new post of the year. There will be some news, reviews, and thoughs as soon as they come. I haven't told you this before but I cannot garuntee everything that goes on in the world of television. But I'll do my best to keep you informed on the biggest events that happen in television life. As of now, 2006 for this blog has officially started! HERE IT COMES!!! Another year of stuff starts... NOW!!!

That's right, everyone, my posting is done for the year. This is late but Merry "Late" Christmas and tonight, happy New Year. I may be done for the year but I not done with this blog. I have all these thoughts to talk about this (almost last) year that I wanted to express to you that I wanted to do in 2005. I do it tomorrow or sometime next year (I hope it's tomorrow). Another great year for this blog accomplished. I wonder what will happen next year. It's getting pretty late and I'm at a party. My date must be wondering where I am. More reivews, thoughts, and news coming next year. VMM signing off for 2005. Have a safe New Years. OFF TO 2006 WE GO!!!

Vic here! Man, sorry i'm late with this review. I wanted to do this the day I did the most recent entry. I didn't get the chance 'cause my uncle wanted to use the computer. I wanted to do this today before Christmas Day. I was very hypocritical these past few days because I was just caught up in the Christmas Spirit. I'm gonna do this today. Mr. Hartman has outdone himself again. This was one of the best Christmas specials i've seen in the 2005 Christmas season. Nick has been showing this several times this year I haven't got a chance to watch all of them. I was a little late for the first showing. Why? It's ABC's (American Broadcasting Company) fault. "Charlie Brown Christmas" ended late. I was pretty upset about it. This was one heck of a Christmas special. Especially the way the writers made the story rhyme. How Clever! I can't say the summary of this ep. You must know why. The rating: 5 stars. Very, very good. I was laughing through the...

My goodness, Christmas season, already? It seems like 4 months ago that it was January. While most network channels are showing Christmas specials, I might as well review some of them. I have one coming up in the next post...

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...
