Well I had a headache today so I stayed home and watched Victorious when it was on rather than have to watch it recorded.
Well everyone knows I had such high expectations for the show but it is already exceeding my expectations. Not one character/actor on the show is dead weight. Leon Thomas has particularly impressed me.
You know what I find to be and interesting coincidence. Both Victoria and Daniella are half Latina (or I am assuming Daniella is mixed because Monet is a French name) but could both pass as fully Hispanic. Yet they chose to make their characters half Latina and give them a Hispanic father and white mother.
Only thing I found disappointing about this episode was the ending when they decided to have Beyonce record the song. Like Beyonce can actually sing anything better than Victoria? Who cares about Beyonce anyway?
Well next weekend will be full of excitement. New episodes on Nick plus the Kentucky Derby. And my Derby pick is Conveyance.

Nick Review 4/24
Big Time Rush can not make it without Erin. That is no longer just my opinion, it is established fact. I had trouble keeping attention and at first I missed the ending. I was watching it recorded so I was able to rewind and see it again. I am on record for saying that Erin would eventually steal the show the same way Jaleel White stole Family matters. But even if that does not not happen they need to at least move her into the main cast. Otherwise this show is a sinking ship.
The Troop was okay by the standards of that show, which are not very high. For what it is worth, that show is at least watchable, but there is no expectation for it at all.
No new True Jackson, VP this week, but not complaints about that. Bruce has said that the writers of that show would probably be more comfortable at Disney and maybe the Disney channel is just where that show belongs.
You know, in 1995 my family took a trip to Disney World and thought is was Heaven. While there, we went to Universal Studios, where Nickelodeon Studios is. We decided it was not worth the inconvenience of leaving the Disney grounds. Ironically, I am now in the Nickelodeon camp.
Now for the seven secrets of Miranda. Over the past eight days I have become ten time the Miranda fan that I was previously. Awesome actor, singer, person and now someone I can relate to. Accomplishing the least with the guitar in the longest time honestly sounds like me, even though I like playing. Also I procrastinated to get my driver's license until I was 18 and I am no person to go to for dating advice. All I can say is Miranda, God has truly blessed you. Take what you have and run with it.
Unfortunately Victorious has to be on when I am not home so as usual I will record it and watch and review it when I can. But this show has become my new weakness. I always watch the reruns when I am home to to watch them, just like I always watched the Zoey 101 reruns.

Victorious Review 4/18
Victorious was awesome as always. I loved the Christian theme of being good to those who are bad to you. Paul says (I believe its in the book of Romans) that being good to your enemies will make your enemies ashamed of how they treat you.
But know that Tori and Jade have made up it begs the question "what now?" I think I have an answer. I think Jade will resume being mean to Tori. It will be much like the character of Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills 90210. They would frequently tease us by turning her good only to have her stab people in the back again. I think it will be this way with Jade but I hope I am wrong.
Another Zoey 101 tradition that Victorious is keeping. You may or may not notice that after the closing credits they play an audio line from the episode, something they do not do on iCarly. See I told you so. The spirit of Zoey 101 is alive and well. Zoey 101 was the shoe of the 00s and this will be the show of the 10s. The advertisement for the next episode said "the wait is finally over." Amen.

Nick review 4/17
Well I set the VCR to record The Troop and Big Time Rush While I was out Friday, but there was a stupid thing I forgot to do (stupid because I should not have to do it) so it did not record. I caught the rerun of Big Time rush but could not find a Troop rerun scheduled anywhere. So I may never see it.
Well here is what I do know about The Troop from reading the preview. Jake was suppose to be pregnant with some monster. I guess people find guys being pregnant to be funny but I don't. Why not have Haley be the pregnant one? Well let me answer my own question. You can not have a pregnant teenage girl on TV because then a bunch of girls in Massachusetts will get pregnant.
Big Time Rush was lame without Erin. They need to move Erin into the main cast or that show will fall apart. But one thing I will not take away from the guys: I like their music.
True Jackson, VP was lame. A guy dropping out of school to be an artist? I wonder where they got that idea?
Thank God for iBloopers to spice up a weekend of bland episodes. It was nice to see iCarly behind the scenes and the actors as themselves. It was a testimony to how awesome they are in real life. While iCarly may be past its peak, Miranda and Jeanette have yet to reach theirs, even if they reach it through singing instead of acting. Next weeks special about Miranda should be great.
Well I am taping Victorious tonight, so I will write my review after I get around to watching it. But should I even bother with a review. We already know every episode is going to be awesome.

Victorious Review 4/11
Well I guess TV terminology has changed. It use to be that the first episode of a series was called a series premier. Now I guess it is called a preview and the second episode is the premier.
The premier was awesome! Only the second episode and the theme song is already stuck in my head. Victoria is awesome. The cast is broad, diverse and talented enough to continue the Zoey 101 legacy. I don't even need to comment. Only complaint is the ventriloquist character, but that is easily overlooked and will surely be addressed later in the series.
So another Victoria fight coming up! First Jamie, then Miranda, now Elizabeth. Wow! iCarly is officially displaced as the best show on the TV.

Big Time Rush Review 4/2
Special thanks to Bruce Carter for bringing to my awareness that there was a new Big Time Rush episode on Friday that I missed. I caught the rerun today.
IT was awesome and as always it was Erin who made it such. The other girls also did fantastic. The girls seem to be better with this show than the guys. It might just be my male nature to think that but what seems to validate my view is that Bruce and others point out that the guys just can't make themselves stand out.
You rock Erin!

Stay Up Late Review
True Jackson, VP was so-so. The main plot was somewhat amusing. As forthe subplot, I don't like John Cena. There were two eras in my life during which I followed professional wrestling. When I last left off, the fans were booing him even though he was a face because they kept shoving him down our throats.
I know What a Girl Wants is seven years old but I am reviewing it because this was my first time seeing it. It was awesome! Amanda Bynes has a certain appeal. The movie also feature topics of my interest such as politics. It also depicts England while guns were still legal there. The plot was awesome.
Happy Easter. He is risen!
