iCarly/True Jackson, VP Review 6/27

Well it is nice to know we finally have a date--or at least a month-- for "iFight Shelby Marx." And hopefully Victoria's new show will shortly follow.

iCarly went from modest to hilarious as the episode progressed. Both plots were very great. I knew a soon as Spenser crashed the art class that that he would cavort with the teacher. One thing I had to ask myself: doesn't Ridgeway offer art classes? Also, I have to wonder if Sam's mother will ever make an appearance.

I actually thought about foregoing True Jackson, VP since I do not like the show. After the opening scene I thought "what the heck." Well it was still stupid. They decided to create a character who was Quinn Pensky on steroids. And the repeated injury to the accountant and the kid acting up in the hospital was not funny.

The new movie "Testing True" should be interesting though.

As for the most addicting video game, I really can not comment as I am not familiar with those games. However, I have played some of the games on the Nick websites and I will comment on them. The Zoey 101 games are fun to a degree. H2O is a great show but the games of that show make no sense. But the worst game I have played is the Pizza game based on "That 70s Show" The knob that I am suppose to find in that game is nowhere to be found.

So now it is 1-2 months before "iFight Shelby Marx." Well it will be wort the wait.

Thoughts on tonights line-up

Tonight Nickelodeon features new episodes of iCarly and True Jackson, VP. We know from the advertisements that Sam and Freddie will be sharing a locker (we know where all this is going) and Carly will be taking art lessons from Spencer (that should be interesting). Following Tue Jackson is an iCarly rerun. Why can't they air the next H2O instead? I understand the show is not having the popularity in the U.S. that it has been having in Australia, but that would be all the more reason to show it. I mean if it is not popular enough to compete with something on the Disney Channel then there is no "right time" to put it off until. I do not know what is going on at the Disney Channel but if they are just showing reruns in that slot then now is the ideal time to show the rest of H2O season 2. If worst comes to shove, Nickelodeon can cancel season 3. Many, like me, have low expectations for season 3 due to the cast shake-up anyway. If they do not resume airing new episodes before long, it will never happen, and that would be a let down.

iCarly/True Jackson, VP Review/Nakked Brothers Review 6/13

iCarly was great. It was intense, it was funny, it was well written. But it is just another warm-up for the much anticipated "iFight Shelby Marx," which they will air in their own good time. This was the third consecutive episode to feature Wendy. "After her brief appearance in "iDate a Bad Boy," I saw the potential for her to be used as a regular. Apparently Dan thinks the same way. Miranda, Jennette and Nathan are all growing as actors and getting better and better.

I do not usually like True Jackson, VP but tonight was an exception. The show was hilarious from start to finish. How can people be so stupid as to think that mannequin for the real person, especially when his mouth is not moving. And with my Serbian heritage, I was flattered by the reference to the Serbian factory early in the show.


Nakked Brothers band was totally stupid, as always. I do not need to explain why. It speaks for itself. And this time there was no Victoria to provide 15 seconds of relief.


But as the Meatloaf song goes, "two out of three ain't bad." I would rather have been at Fan Fair in Nashville, but since I can not be there this year, tonight line-up was a good consolation.

iFight Shelby Marx in hold.

I need to say that this was initially the the date that the new iCarly movie "iFight Shelby Marx," guest staring Victoria Justice. It has evidently been postponed indefinitely. I expect it to be the best iCarly episode every, as Miranda Cosgrove and Victoria Justice make a deadly combination. They are probably waiting for the Disney channel to air something major so that they can put it up against it and beat it in the ratings. Lately iCarly has been really beating the Jonas brother in the ratings so maybe it is a good idea.

Comment on Movie Mania

Well the N just had an event called Movie Mania, which featured a movie every night of the month. It was a nice idea. They gave a disproportionate number of night to the Zoey movies, but who can complain about that. Since, last year, there has been no better way to enjoy my Memorial Day weekends than watching Zoey 101 reruns. It was also great for them to have aired Spectacular! several times. I can watch that movie over and over again. I also watched some movies that I had never seen before, such as some of the Unfabulous movies. So in general, I enjoyed Movie Mania.
