True Jackson, VP/The Troop Review 12/12

About 2 hours before True Jackson started I realized I had not watched any of my Christmas movies yet this year, so I popped in Miracle on 34th Street. Coincidentally, the True Jackson episode featured the Macy Parade. And a game show with a dunce cap? I can tell you where they got that idea: Win Ben Stein's Money.

Well I have a confession to make. Before watching True Jackson I was mentally preparing to write a bad review of it but I can't. It was great. I know I have no logical reason to dislike the show. Let's just say I don't hate it but I could do without it if they would use the extra time for something better like the mermaids. I no you can't run a show that does not get good ratings, but discontinuing that show is a painful loss to me.

As for The Troop, I stand by what I said before. That show is garbage. It is unoriginal. It is a Ghostbusters wannabe. I do not even see how the title of the shoe fits. But I noticed an interesting connection. The show is in the same time slot that the mermaids use to be in. The sister on the troop is named Phoebe and Phoebe Tonkin in one of the mermaids. Did I mention I missed the mermaids? How about dumping THIS show for the mermaids.

At least they could dump True Jackson and the Troop for Victorious and Big Time Rush, even if Erin Sanders ends up being my only reason I care for the latter show.
