Fun and wacky fast-paced stuff going on around here.

Yelling, crashing, exploding, mischief, face and body alterations, and expressing emotions in an exaggerated manner. The stuff that cartoons these days are carrying since the late- eighties. Created by Jorege Gutierez, inspired by the Mexican masked-wrestling craze from his home country, this cartoon tells the tale of a boy named Manny Rivera, who becomes a El Tigre. He lives with his father, White Pantera, a super-hero and Puma Loco a retired super- villain. He must choose between being a hero or a villain. Going back, he has a wacky best friend, Frida who is the singer of the band, The Atomic Sombrero. The villains are wacky and hilarious. I discovered it has a shade of STAR WARS because he has a choice between being a hero or a villain, which is why I am glad Jorge Gutierez made that idea, because if he was going to be a villain, then we would end up what would look like, a Latino DENNIS THE MENACE running around (or amok). After watching eight episodes, I noticed that this show is great. It is like the new MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ROBOT. I found some similarities between this show and THE HI HI PUFFY AMI YUMI SHOW. They are both Flash-animated, but PUFFY has Japanese references and TIGRE has Spanish references. The best part is you can learn some Spanish. I find nothing wrong with this show what so ever. There is a lot of good moral for the kids to learn. It teaches kids that the world is not coated with sugar, and it teaches them to play with the cards they've got and play them right. Unlike SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. He is nothing but a pest. He drives Squidward and other characters up the wall. Then kids copy and drive other people, no matter the age and gender, completely bananas, and when they get bullied they are screwed. Worst part is about SPONGEBOB, is that apart from a predictable plot, he is taking too much air-time and franchising!!! I am angry at the Sponge! Thank goodness there is shows like EL TIGRE and TEENAGE ROBOT. Besides the character designs in the show are good, not to mention the classic Hanna Barbera stretching noise as heard in such cartoons as THE FLINTSTONES, THE JESTSONS and SCOOBY-DOO. The best part is, that it ranked number 15 on the list of America's top- rated shows. Perhaps the viewers are Latinos apart from kids. I give this a four out of five stars. Really fun entertainment for the entire family, but it is rated TV-Y7 for comic and fantasy violence, mischief, crude humor, and all manner of wacky going-ons.
