iCarly/True Jackson, VP Review 9/26

Well in scanning the TV guide this afternoon, I fount that Degrassi Goes Hollywood was on during the two hours preceding iCarly. Any masterpiece as good as that movie deserves to be watched every time it is on. So I watched it.

iCarly was a huge, huge improvement from last week. The ending keeps the speculation alive. Who will Freddie end up with? Right now I predict Carly, but there may be some competition with Sam.

True Jackson, VP, which is usually bad, was good this week for one obvious reason and one obvious reason only: Victoria Justice. That girl can do no wrong. Her appearances were few and far between but it was enough to actually make the show the best episode of the series.

No complaints about this week!

iCarly/True Jackson, VP Review 9/19

Before I get started with my actual review I have a related story. About an hour before iCarly started I was in Walgreen's--that place where we get what we need for the real world--and I saw a special edition of people magazine on iCarly. I have not had the chance to read it yet but I had to have it. When I saw it I got into my autograph state of mind. A few years ago I was in Walgreen's when I saw a Cosmopolitan magazine with Carrie Underwood on the cover. I did not care to but it but a few nights later I had a dream. I was in Nashville for Fan Fair and I saw a stand selling copies of that Cosmo. I decided to buy one and try to get Carrie to autograph it. But then they charged me about $80 for it and I decided it was not worth it. That dream got me to but the magazine. I got it a Walgreen's for less than $5. A few weeks later I went to Fan Fair and took the magazine with me. Sure enough, I was in the right place at the right time when Carrie was signing. Here is a link to my picture with her signing it. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r288/RJMamula/?action=view&current=carrieunderwood.jpg Also, 8 years ago I just had to have Martina McBride's Greatest Hits CD. I got it but the only thing missing is her autograph on it. I have been trying for 8 years to meet Martina but to no avail. I have met countless celebrities, mostly country singers, during those 8 years, but no Martina. You can see my pics with these other celebs when you view my carie underwood pic. During another time when I was at Fan Fair, I found and purchased a picture or Terri Clark and Martina McBride--my tow favorite country singers--together on the Opry. I hoped to get it signed by both Terri and Martina. Well it now had Terri's signature--in fact, I have met Terri 8 times, I own every Terri Clark album ever made and every one is autographed--but it still lacks Martina's signature. That all said, I hope to get the opportunity to meet some of my favorite Nick stars like Victoria, Erin, Miranda and Jennette. If I can meet the cast of iCarly, that magazine will be signed by them.

Now to my review. This was the worst iCarly ever. Both the main and subplots of iCarly were stupid. Up until now, the episodes have ranged from okay to classic, but I did not think they were capable of doing a bad one. But maybe it is just a bad one so lets give it the benefit of the doubt that the show is not going down hill.

Also, after last weeks episode, I thought Sedie was a lost cause and that Freddie would end up with Carly. But when Freddie made the comment at the beginning that his hatred of Sam was just getting stronger, that change my mind. The dilemma is that regardless of which one Freddie ends up with, they will need to find someone for the other girl. But they have plenty of time to figure that out.

Now to True Jackson, VP. Horrible as always. The only good thing about this one was the hamster. Those cute creatures make the best pets--better than my mom's annoying dog that I have to out up with. I was hoping that "Testing True" would be the end of the series. After all the show has already served its purpose of promoting Keke Palmer. It turns out that they have a whole second season already filmed. I guess the ratings for this show are doing well. In all fairness, I think Ashley Argotta will and should someday get her own show. I just wish they would end this show, bring back the mermaids, and get started with Victorious.

And what is with this new show The Troop? I thought it was going to be a Friday show but now it looks like it will be on Saturdays, back to back with iCarly and True Jackson, VP. Not that I will be watching it anyway but I wonder what time slot they will put Victorious in. My understanding is that Zoey 101 aired on Sunday's when it was in production, but I did not discover it until it was all reruns.

Well I think I have said enough for now.

iCarly/Troop Review 9/12

Well I think "iFight Shelby Marx" needed to be topped because it was great but did not live up to its hype. I think "iThink the Kissed" did just that. It was hilarious. I now think this officially derails Seddie , so now Freddie and Carly is where the show is the destiny of the show.

Then I watched "The Troop." I wonder if this show was influenced by Ghostbusters, the only difference is thhey are busting monsters instead of ghost. At first I thought Ghostbusters needs to be left alone. Then I thought "well okay but you can not match Ghostbusters. The show seems to be a cross between Ghostbusters and "Ned's Declassifed School Survival Guide." At any rate it will be on Friday's when I am usually not home and I do not think it is work taping.
