Kiff (2023– )

Another Amazing Show!

[10/10 · 31 December 2023]

Wow! This show is just as amazing as Amphibia! There are no disgusting things, no inappropriate jokes, no ugly characters, and no bad episodes so far. There are not a lot of TV shows that I really like. Sometimes they would make cartoons that are totally gross or inappropriate for children, like Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer, Camp Lakebottom and The Buzz on Maggie. But now they're making great shows, like Gravity Falls, Wander Over Yonder, Amphibia and The Owl House.

My favorite character would be Kiff herself, because she's so funny and adorable! I just love it when she tries to help everyone in a town called "Table Town". Barry is pretty sweet and cute. He is the perfect best friend for Kiff. I also like Ghost Wolf, who was scary at first, but he turned out to be extremely nice and caring. And he makes very amazing art pieces in one episode.

I love this show. I hope we get more than two seasons. The first season is still airing, but it got renewed for a second season which will come out in 2024. Thank you Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal for creating this wonderful series! I hope Disney can make even more shows with cute anthropomorphic animals.

Catscratch (2005–2007)

Catscratch? More like the BESTscratch.

[10/10 · 13 April 2022]

When I was a kid, I didn't really watch Catscratch. Probably because I was so busy when I was a kid. But one day, I was trying to find old TV shows that I can watch during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I actually found a few good ones. And when I got to Catscratch, I decided to give that one a try, and it was excellent!

Catscratch is about three Cat brothers that are living the rich life when their owner, Mrs. Cramdilly passed away along with Audrey (The Cats' mother). Gordon Quid and Waffle are my favorite characters. Gordon thinks he's from Scotland, despite the fact that he's really not, and has a crush on a human named Kimberly (Which I think is the saddest thing I've ever heard.). Waffle is a funny idiot who loves to say "Splee!" and armpit fart. However, there are some times that Waffle shows some intelligence.

It's also kind of sad that the show was canceled after 20 episodes (40 episodes of counting the segments). I don't know why they've canceled Catscratch, that show is fantastic! It's also kind of sad that they didn't release the complete series on DVD nor streaming... yet. I am only able to watch the whole series online. But I want the series to be in high quality and original audio, not blurry quality and high-pitched audio.

Well, 20 (Or 40) episodes or not, thank you anyway, Doug TenNapel for creating Catscratch. But please release the complete series on DVD or Paramount+!

Ed, Edd n Eddy (1999–2008)

Ed-tastic TV Series!

[10/10 · 13 April 2022]

Ah, the good old days. I remember this TV show when I was a kid. Ed, Edd n Eddy was one of the best shows I've ever seen. But since I've been so busy with working at school, being with families and playing video games, I was only able to watch five or six episodes from Seasons 1, 2 and 4. But now that I've graduated, I can watch all of the episodes from every season on streaming, DVD or online, and they were ED-TASTIC! (That's a combination of the words "Ed" and "Fantastic" for those of you who didn't understand the headline.

I like it when the characters' outlines were always wiggling. I also like it when their eyes have irises around their pupils whenever they get scared, angry, or excited. I don't know why, but this show always reminded me of Charlie Brown. I think it's because this series focuses on the children, not the adults (However, you do get to only see the grown ups' arms and silhouettes throughout the series.). However, there are some animals on this show, but mostly Rolf's farm animals. I'm also kind of bummed that they didn't show any Cats, because I'm a Cat person. However, they DID show ONE Dog, but I don't think it was enough.

My favorite characters on the whole show are all of the Eds, Kevin, Rolf and Jimmy. Ed is a funny, lovable idiot. He may have the IQ of an Ant, but he is super strong. Edd (Double D) is great too. He is really smart, but my favorite thing about him is when he gets afraid of germs and anything gross and unsanitary. Eddy is funny, but he can be from a bit selfish to SUPER selfish. I like it when he tries to scam the Kids, but ALMOST always fail to do so. There are some scams that Eddy is successful. Kevin can be mean to the Eds, but sometimes they (Especially Eddy) deserve to be pounded. Rolf may be a little weird, when he was from another old country, but I love it when he calls the Eds "Ed-boys". And last, but not least, we have the accident prone, Jimmy. He can be a coward when it comes to the outside world, which I wouldn't be surprised, especially with all of the Eds running around in it. I'm telling you, Jimmy's teeth will NEVER be straight, he may have to wear that poor retainer for the rest of his life.

My least favorite characters would be Sarah and the Kanker Sisters, obviously. Sarah is downright mean to almost everyone in the Cul-de-sac, especially the Eds. I think she maybe even worse than Kevin. In fact, the only person she's really nice to is Jimmy. The Kanker Sisters are my most hatred characters in the whole show. May is considered to be really stupid and the youngest of the sisters. She is in love with Ed. Marie is smart, yet sneaky, middle-child of the sisters. She's in love with Edd (Double D). And Lee is the oldest and leader of the sisters. She's in love with Eddy. I hate it when the Kanker Sisters kiss the Eds, leaving Red lipstick kiss stains all over their faces. But at least the Eds and Kankers didn't get married... yet. Let's just hope it stays that way.

I almost have every single episode on iTunes (Including the movie and series finale, "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show".). However, Season 6 and the holiday specials are not available on iTunes nor DVD. Fortunately, the Season 6 episodes ARE available on HBO Max, but I wish the Specials (Not counting the Cartoon Network Invaded special "The Eds Are Coming, the Eds Are Coming") are available to stream and/or on home video. I don't care what streaming app they're on, as long as the holiday specials are available. In fact, the only holiday special I managed to get was "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle", which is only available on DVD. I just wish the ENTIRE series is available on DVD. So far, they've only released the first TWO complete seasons on DVD.

SPOILER ALERT!

My favorite episodes would be Who, What, Where Ed!, Know It All Ed, Key to My Ed, Once Upon an Ed, My Fair Ed, O-Ed Eleven, Brother Can You Spare an Ed, An Ed is Born, A Twist of Ed, A Case of Ed, Run for Your Ed, Out with the Old... in with the Ed, Mission Ed-Possible, This Won't Hurt an Ed, A Town Called Ed, May I Have this Ed? And Look Before You Ed.

Since I have a lot of favorite episodes, I'm only gonna talk about two.

"Who, What, Where Ed!" is a funny one, because the Eds have to find an item to trade for the other until they have to trade for an Egg that Rolf has. But every time the Eds try to get something, a kid wants to trade something that the other kid has. "A Twist of Ed" is a really good revenge episode. After the Kanker Sisters kissed each of their respective crush, Double D gets an idea by using reverse-psychology on the lusty girls, so they'll leave the Eds alone. That serves as revenge for the Kanker Sisters romantically harassing the Eds... until the girls decide to turn the tables.

SPOILERS END HERE.

I just want to say, Thank you, Danny Antonucci for giving us Ed, Edd n Eddy. And I hope that Cartoon Network can continue to give us all these wonderful TV shows like this one.

Dora the Explorer (2000–2019)

Dora the Explorer? Dora the NOT Explorer

[1/10 · 7 March 2022]

Was Dora the Explorer good back in the day? I think most kids will say "yes", but I would say "NO!" This TV Show is very bad. And I'm not just saying that to little kids, I'm saying it to EVERYONE who watches Nick Jr./Noggin. I want TV Shows with more action, drama and culture, NOT singing, dancing and foreign languages.

I can't believed I used to like this piece of garbage when I was a toddler. The truth is, and I'm not going to lie to you, I used to watch Dora the Explorer a lot when I was, like, three or four years old (I'm also a boy, not a girl.). But when I watch it now, it's just too much for me to bear. Not even Seasons 5-8 can make this outrageous cartoon even better! I guess I'm just glad that Dora the Explorer does NOT air on television anymore.

The songs got really irritating and really quick. I ESPECIALLY hate the "We did it!" songs, those were the worst. But what's worse is when the series progressed, they have extended that stupid song! I just want to tear my television apart every time I hear that annoying song! The intro song was pretty bad too. I mean, the computer version of the song wasn't horrible, but the other versions were a complete DOWNGRADE to the series! However, the latest version of the intro song got even WORSE when they decided to "enhance" this pathetic excuse for an educational TV Show.

The puzzles that Dora and Boots do are really lame, boring and EXTREMELY easy. I mean, seriously. Who COULDN'T find the things Swiper swiped from people WITHOUT the viewer's stinking help?! It's very easy to tell which item is different than the other thing. And that puzzle, "How to get past the Troll's big net?" Yes, we could use scissors, OR we could just CLIMB OVER the net. And if a giant rock or something is blocking a path, don't try to push it or ask it nicely to move. Just go AROUND it. Even my Cat does a better job at completing puzzles and riddles than Dora and Boots could ever solve on their own.

Dora and Boots themselves makes little kids look really dumb. Although Dora and her friends are pretty dimwitted as well. One example is that they can't find the place or item that they're looking for even though the said object or area was RIGHT BEHIND OR NEXT to them! And Dora doesn't need the viewer's help every time on where to go first. SHE'S the one with the MAP, don't ask us! Man, this TV Show even makes Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants a genius.

The characters aren't very good either. The Map is very annoying. I don't want to sing his song, I want to go somewhere! Backpack is irritating too, especially when it says "Yum, yum, yum, yum!" when "swallowing" the contents from inside it Benny the Bull IS strong, but he's also kind of dumb. Tico the Squirrel ONLY speaks Spanish, in fact, she said NOTHING in English throughout the ENTIRE series! Isa the Iguana was... actually no, Isa WASN'T a bad character. But I don't know why, but I THINK (I'm not 100% sure) she is in love with Boots. Swiper the Fox was a horrible antagonist for the series. All he ever does is steal a person's belongings for no reason. I don't know if he does it for fun, but it's pretty weak for him to JUST swipe stuff that doesn't belong to him. But Dora is number one on the worst characters list. Like I said before, she makes everyone look stupid because of her annoying habit of asking somebody where is a place or thing. I've put up with her obliviousness.

If you have a television, Nick Jr. And a little kid, watch other shows besides the Dora franchise, like Max & Ruby, Blues Clues, or The Backyardigans. Those shows are great. Especially if you have a boy in the family. But don't pick shows with too much guessing, bad morals or oblivious characters. I don't want you all to suffer the same fate I did.

CarousHELL 2 (2021)

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME?!?!

[1/10 · 25 January 2022]

CarousHELL 1 was bad enough, but CarousHELL 2?!?! It's even worse than the first movie! It's just as cheesy as the original! Maybe even WORSE. When my mother told me about CarousHELL 2, I thought it would be horrible just like the first one, and boy was I right. The acting has definitely NOT improved AT ALL. The special effects were still cheesy too. But the one part I thought was the worst of all was... Duke... has... a SON!!! Robbie (which is the name of Duke's son) is WAY too far from being an improvement. I hope they stop after this movie, because Nobody would want to watch this movie... EVER!!!!! I wish the first CarousHELL was NEVER EVER CREATED! I'd rather watch PORN than watch this abomination they call a horror movie! Loop the best 3 seconds, put it in a commercial and throw the rest in the trash! I'm done with it! I wish I could give NEGATIVE stars to this stupid movie.

Amphibia (2019–2022)

BEST TV SHOW EVER!!!

[10/10 · 12 January 2022]

Amphibia is the best TV show I've ever seen in my life! When I was a kid, my favorite TV show of all time was SpongeBob SquarePants. No other show can beat SpongeBob... until now. I found Amphibia while looking at random news articles on my phone. It looked pretty interesting, so I decided to watch it. When I saw the first two episodes, I felt like I was reborn. It's been AGES since I last watched a fantastic cartoon. When I first watched it, I realized Disney already completed the first season. Sprig is my favorite character, but Polly is pretty funny too. Right now I just hope Amphibia doesn't end already. I'm DYING to know what happens next! For those of you who watched Gravity Falls, I'd think Amphibia would be better, because there are only two seasons in Gravity Falls with 40 episodes in all. But Amphibia has THREE seasons and way more episodes (Probably because most of the episodes in Amphibia have segments). Making for a grand total of 91 episodes/segments (So far). Thank you, Matt Braly for making this incredible TV show!

CarousHELL (2016)

WORST. HORROR. EVER.

[1/10 · 31 December 2021]

I've watched this movie a year ago. Some people should say this movie is second to none, or should I say second to RUN? When I watched that stupid Unicorn come "alive", my excitement flew south for the winter. This was an extremely cheesy movie. I'd rather watch Dora the Explorer, and I'm a boy! The movie makes no sense, and the acting was just downright awful. I'd give this movie ZERO stars if I could, but alas, I cannot. Seriously, unless you like really cheesy movies, this one is not for you.
