My First SPOILER FREE Impressions Of Jellystone

 


Ladies and gentlemen we are now living in an age where it seems that every single streaming service that's out there are releasing animated TV shows That are currently starring classic cartoon characters and well HBO Max and Warner Bros Pictures Entertainment have now came out with there own show that featured a bunch of classic cartoon characters and so join me as I give you my spoiler free first impressions of the show in question and with the show in question being called simply just "Jellystone" enjoy.

The basic premise for this show is Yogi Bear , Cindi Bear , Boo-Boo Bear and bunch of other Hanna-Barbera characters all live in this town which is called Jellystone and have to try and get along with each other which is easier said then done when disaster and anarchy is always just one wrong move / accident away. Now then in terms of what I think about the premise of this show in all honest I honestly think / feel that the premise and thus the setup of this show is decent enough for a kids show since it does bring these characters together in a very organic way but at the same time I would have liked it if the makers of this show had come up with a more original and thus unique setup to this show and a more unique way to get all of these characters together in a very organic way.


Starring in this show is Jeff Bergman as Yogi Bear , Mr. Jinks , Wally Gator and Lippy The Lion and Fajer Al-Kaisi as Shazzan and Hadji. Also starring in this show is Yoshi Amao as Anime Yogi , Flula Borg as Gazoo , Jim Conroy as Huckleberry Hound , Captain Caveman , Paw Rugg and Bingo , Andrew Frankel as Fancy-Fancy and Jonny Quest , Ron Funches as Shag Rugg , Katie Grober as Yakky Doodle , this shows creator and executive producer C. H. Greenblatt as Boo-Boo Bear , Doggie Daddy , Peter Potamus , Benny The Ball and Drooper , Grace Helbig as Cindy Bear , Yappee , Taffy Dare and Granny Sweet , Georgie Kidder as Augie Doggie , Brain , Floral Rugg and Kitty Jo , Thomas Lennon as Top Cat , Jenny Lorenzo as Bobbie Looey , Hardy Har Har , Choo-Choo and Spooky , Ulka Simone Mohanty as Loopy De Loop , Lesley Nicol as Winsome Witch , Bernardo de Paula as El Kabong , Mildew Wolf and The King , Angelique Perrin as Ma Rugg , Oscar Reyez as Ruff , Dana Snyder as Snagglepuss , Touché Turtle , Lambs , Cavey Jr. and Tinker , Gaku Space as Anime Huckleberry Hound , Niccole Thurman as Jabberjaw , Squiddly Diddly and Dee Dee Sykes , Paul F. Tompkins as Magilla Gorilla , Fleegle and The Funky Phantom , Melissa Villaseñor as Susan The Guitar and Scott Whyte as Country.

As for what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular show so far at least the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular show seems to be decent at best. Which is a shame because alot of / a few of the actors and actresses that are starring in /appearing in this show show are indeed really good actors and actresses but this show gives them nothing to work with in terms of what there respective characters personalities are like and thus the actors and actresses that are indeed starring in / appearing in this very / particular show can only do so much performance which in this case only results in a bunch of OK at best performances. 



Doing the animation for this show is Cheeky Little Media and the wonderful folks that are currently over at Snipple Animation. Now while I personally don't mind the animation that i've so far seen in this show since i've seen the first eight segments I do however take issue with the designs of the characters since all of these characters just look ugly and all of these characters look like that they would fit in perfect with the cast of characters from Thundercats Roar or Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs because that's how bad the characters that are in this show look in my opinion anyways / at least. 


This show just based off of the eight segments that I watched has a ton of references to various other Hanna-Barbera characters TV shows and I think films. Heck you can tell just from the cast list (which i've left unedited in anyway whatsoever by the way) how deep cut some some of the references that we see in this show well and truly are. Heck I had to actually look up some of the characters that are appearing in this show because I honestly haven't / hadn't heard of them however for some strange reason this show really likes to reference The Flintstones which i'm kind of in two minds about since on the one hand I like that this mentions a property that's as old as the Flintstones multi media franchise is but on the one hand all those references did was serve to remind me that I could have been watching a much better show and that's not a good thing at all in my opinion anyways / at least.

The same thing could also be said for alot of the references that we do infact see in this show since it then makes this show run the risk of becoming to fanservicy and thus risk alienating any new fans. However the fact that this mentions so many things that are related to Hanna-Barbera just goes to show you how much of a love and respect that this shows creator and executive producer and voice actor C. H. Greenblatt has for the world of Hanna-Barbera and for the characters that were created by Hanna-Barbera in my opinion anyways / at least.


The closet thing that I can think of to compare this show to / with is The Looney Tunes Show since both shows take a bunch if classic characters and then out them into a situation where they are almost forced to get along with each other. However where as The Looney Tunes Show made the titular Looney Tunes characters seem more adult by putting them into more adult situations and by giving them more mature / adult storylines / plotlines this show takes the opposite approach and is more kid / child friendly and gives the characters more child /kid / family / friendly storylines / plotlines. This really doesn't work well with the show's set up since all of these characters are living in the same town together and so with that in mind you'd expect / possibly even want the storylines / plotlines that this show tells to be more mature / adult and not be child / kid / family friendly.

New then I watched the first eight segments of this show which last no longer then eleven minuets each which means that the total running time of all eight segments combined is at the very least two hours since this show does also follow the same format of alot of animated shows where they have to eleven minuet segment combined into one twenty two minuet episodes and sadly tho I only watched them as eleven minuet segments. Which I do feel oddly works for this show simply just due to how absurd the storylines / plotlines that are in these first eight segments well and truly are.


Now then this show is being listed as a comedy and which means that I have to talk about some the actual jokes that are featured / presented to us in this actual show and well if i'm being well and truly honest here people the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this actual show are pretty / really freaking bad. Since I barely laughed once during all eight of the segments of this show that I actually watched all the way through but with that being said little little kids might find some of the jokes that i've seen so far in this show to be funny and heck maybe there are some of you guys who found this show to be freaking hilarious but I just didn't find this show to be that funny at all / in the slightest bit tho.


Overall while I cannot say that this is a bad show (simply because I don't feel that i've seen more the / than enough episodes in order to make that judgement) I can however say that this is a show that I can see little kids loving but at the same time I can also see die hard animation fans hating this show because it's kind of similar to Teen Titans Go! in some respects but it's different from Teen Titans Go in many other / more respects tho. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this show show thus / so far in this very review and since this is only my first impressions of the show I won't be giving this show a rating just because I don't feel that i've seen more then / than enough episodes in order to give it a really justifiable score / rating.

Now then / than as for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then / than boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I used in this very from Google Images and nowhere else and since I only went to Google Images and nowhere else for the images that I used in this very review. Well then / than I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use Google Images if for some reason that you guys and girls want to use images from this very show that I personally used in this very review since all of the images that I personally found that are from this very / particular show are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

I Am Not Starfire Spoiler Free!!!!!!!!!! Review

 


Ladies and gentlemen every so often there comes along a comic book or graphic novel that in all honesty has you wondering what in the hell the makers of the comic book or graphic novel were even thinking. Well as you can no doubt work out by the title of this review there is a now infamous comic book / graphic novel that's just been released and well I have to wonder what in the heck the writers / makers of this particular / very comic book  graphic novel were thinking when they made this trash and so join me as I review the comic book that pretty much everybody on the internet agrees is trash with the comic book in question being called simply just "I Am Not Starfire" and yes this review will be spoiler simply because there's nothing to actually spoil about this book and so enjoy the review everyone.

Now then I would normally summarise what the plot of the book is in this part of the review however the makers of this book chose not to give this book any kind of plot to speak of whatsoever and trust me I combed through every single page of this book just looking for resemblance of a plot and I couldn't find any kind of plot whatsoever. Which is the first of many things that this book gets wrong because regardless of what comic book / graphic novel that your making you still need to have a plot and this book couldn't even give us any kind of plot to speak of whatsoever.


I'm going to be freaking real with you all here the best DC Comics young adult graphic novel that i've read is thus far Teen Titans: Raven and even that book wasn't that good. This is because Teen Titans: Raven isn't focused on shoving the writers own personal political agenda down your throat and is instead focused on giving us an actually good story heck even by simply having a story makes Teen Tians: Raven better then this book in my opinion anyways / at least.

I think that both myself and anyone else who has unfortunately read this book would have liked it alot more if this book was actually fun to read and sadly this book isn't that fun to read at all whatsoever. As such this book very quickly becomes a chore to sit through and read and that is because the characters that are in introduced into this book are just the kind of stereotypical characters that you'd expect to find in a book that's more focused on pushing the writers ideologies onto the reader.


Now then the writer of this book is one Mariko Tamaki and well not only is this book very badly written but she also made the main character look exactly like her and so she basically self inserted herself into her own story. Which everybody when this book was first announced rather rightfully called her out for doing because even tho we all wanted to be superheroes at some point we all also fully understood of what it meant to be a superhero and this is something Mariko Tamaki doesn't seem to fully understand in my opinion anyways / at least. 



Doing the artwork for this film is Yoshi Yoshitani and well if i'm being well and truly honest here the artwork that is featured / presented to us in this particular / very comic book / graphic novel is trash and that is me putting it nicely. I mean no disrespect to the artist who drew this book but the artwork that's seen in this books looks like a first pass piece of artwork and not somebodies final draft and heck in some panels the characters don't have faces.

Now then i'm not going to spoil which other superheroes are appearing in his comic book / graphic novel but I think you can work who it is just by the name of this book but they really did one of the superheroes that are appearing in this book very dirty with there character design. Every other superhero is appearing / showing up in this comic book / graphic novel get some really passable looking designs but for this one character they just went with the most basic as heck looking design that they could have ever gone with so much so that it's honestly laughable and freaking how simplistic and freaking basic this characters design well and truly is in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then I want it known that I didn't go into this particular / very comic book / graphic novel wanting to hate infact I went into this particular / very comic book / graphic novel wanting to be pleasantly surprised by it but this comic book / graphic novel gets so many basic things wrong that it makes it hard to find good things to talk about. Like for example this comic book / graphic novel gets Starfire wrong since this books  has her portrayed as someone who doesn't really care about her own daughter when in actuality Starfire is the most caring person in the DC Comics Universe and so Starfire would care about her daughter more then anything else in the world because that's how much of a caring person Starfire is heck Teen Titans Go! gets more right about Starfire then this Starfire centric comic book / graphic novel does in my opinion anyways / at least.

Another thing that this particular / very comic book / graphic novel gets wrong is the fact that literally none of it's characters are nit even in the slightest bit likable. This is writing 101 you have to make your main hero characters likable because that's who the audience is meant to like Mandy who is our main hero character for this book is completely unlikable and just like with the rest if this particular / very comic book / graphic novels cast of characters Mandy has no personality and no personality traits to speak off whatsoever and not helping things is the fact that this book is one hundred and sixty six pages which means that are stuck with these very freaking unlikable characters who have very little to no character development or who grow as characters in a story that has no plot to speak whatsoever for a fairly freaking long time. 


Now then this book is a superhero book after all and that means that there is some actual action that's featured / seen / resented to us in this book and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's featured / seen / resented to us in this book and well if i'm being well and truly honest here people the action that's featured / seen / presented to us in this very book is the best thing that's about the book. Which isn't really a high bar to reach since the rest of this book is pure trash and nothing more then that but even so the action that's in this book is at best OK which for this book OK equals phenomenal.


Overall I don't really think that this needs saying to be said at this point but I personally think that this book is utter trash and judging by the responses that just the trailer for this book got as all other comments online alot of people also feel that exact sae way as me and it's books like this particular / very comic book / graphic novel which is why manga is currently beating out comic books when it comes to sales in America. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this film particular / very comic book / graphic novel which means that this particular / very comic book / graphic novel gets a 0.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very / particular review from a website that I cannot name because it means that I used "other methods" in order to read this book , Wikipedia and the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that are actually from this very / particular comic book / graphic novel is the one website that like I said I cannot name because it would mean that I used "other methods" in order to read this book and all of the images that are currently up and on the website in question are all fairly high in quality and well as being fairly in high definition.

Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2 Film SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!! Review


Batman and DC Comics fans there is yet another new direct to DVD DC Comics animated movie that has just been released and well since we have a nice little tradition going here. As such you just know that I was going to check out this the very first chance that I had and boy oh boy do I have some things to say about this film and so join me as I review the film that is the final ever film role for actress Naya Rivera with the film in question being called simply just "Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2" and yes this review will be a spoiler free review and so enjoy the review everyone.

The plot of this film is Bruce Wayne , Harvey Dent and James / Jim Gordon continue there never ending hunt for the now infamous Holiday killer and all the while something dark is stirring deep within Harvey Dent. Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this film in all honesty I personally thought that the plot of this film was really good but at the same time I strong feel that alot more effort could have been put into creating the plot of this film since in all honesty the plot of this film as good as it is could have been alot better in my personal opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Zach Callison as Young Bruce Wayne. Also starring in this film is the late Naya Rivera as Selina Kyle / Catwoman , Josh Duhamel as Harvey Dent , Billy Burke as James Gordon , Katee Sackhoff as Pamela Isley / Poison Ivy , Titus Welliver as Carmine Falcone , David Dastmalchian as Calendar Man and Oswald Cobblepot / The Penguin , Troy Baker as The Joker , Amy Landecker as Barbara Gordon and Carla Vitti , Julie Nathanson as Gilda Dent , Jack Quaid as Alberto Falcone , Fred Tatasciore as Solomon Grundy , Alyssa Diaz as Renee Montoya , Alastair Duncan as Alfred Pennywort , Robin Atkin Downes as Jonathan Crane / Scarecrow and Thomas Wayne , John DiMaggio as Jervis Tetch / The Mad Hatter , Laila Berzins as Sofia Falcone and Jim Pirri as Sal Maroni.

Now then as for what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film / movie in all honesty I honestly thought that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film / movie was really good. Which shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone really since alot of the actors and actresses that are starring in / appearing in this very film / movie in indeed really good actors and actresses and it really does help that  the script for both this film and Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1 is such a good script with all of the characters being very well written and this honestly does help all of the actors and actresses performances since it gives all of these actors and actresses alot to work with in my opinion anyways / at least.


Doing the animation that's seen in this film is The Answer Studio who I have honestly never even heard of before now which is a such a shame considering what i'm about to say about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this film / movie because i really did like the animation that's featured / presented in this film / movie. Since the animation in this film was so good that you can straight up tell that every single animator that worked on this film was putting in there best work / bringing their A game to this film.


Now then without giving much  anything away there is a scene that's near the end of this movie that gave me strong Batman Begins vibes. Simply because the scene in question is pretty much a rip off of a scene that's in Batman Begins there is also a scene that's near the start / middle of this film that also gave me strong Batman Begins as well but it was the scene that's near the end of this film that gave me perhaps the freaking strongest Batman Begins vibes in this freaking entire film in my opinion anyways / at least.

I honestly have no idea why this film chose to give of very strong Batman Begins vibes since it's easily the second worst film in the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy series of films but for some reason the makers of this film chose to include not one but two scenes that would give anyone very strong Batman Begins vibes. If anything it would have made sense if the makers of this film chose not to include anything that was a a reference to another piece of Batman media since all it does is remind you that you could be watching a  much better Batman film and that was most certainly the case with this film in particular.


Again without giving anything about this film away the actual mystery element of this film is handled very freaking poorly in my opinion anyways / at least. Since the revelation of who The Holiday Killer is not only comes out of nowhere but it also feels rushed and not earned in the slightest since we aren't given any clues as to who The Holiday Killer is since this film becomes more and more focused on the Harvey Dent plot line instead of focusing on the main mystery of both parts of this two part film it's only when we get to the final twenty to fifteen minuets that this film remembers that it's supposed to be a mystery type of film and so it just speeds through alot of key things that are in this mystery and so the reveal of how The Holiday Killer is just comes across as being rushed and it comes out of nowhere and not earned in the slightest in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this very / exact film is exactly one hour and twenty seven minuets and four seconds long which if i'm being very freaking honest here people is a bit on the long side for this film. Since all this film mainly has to do is wrap up storylines from Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1 and so I see no reason as to why this film couldn't come in / have a grand total running of exactly one hour and fifteen minuets since even tho this film has more then enough story to cover it's actual running time and not helping things is the fact that the pacing for this film is pretty bad since the start of the film does drag on a little bit but the pacing does indeed improve as this film goes on tho.


Now then since this film is a superhero action film after all that does infact mean that there are actual action scenes that are in this film / movie and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action scenes that are featured / presented to us in this very film / movie and well if i'm being honest the action that's featured / presented to us in this very film is really good. It's always going to be good seeing a certain pair of characters teaming up and fighting bad guys together and the same thing is true for this film and it really does infact help that all of the action scenes that are in this film are really fun and as well as being really entertaining to watch with all of this films action being filled up to the brim with some really cool and as well as some really bada*s moments but thats jus what I think anyways / at least. 


Overall this a decent film but at the same time it was a bad Batman film since even tho there's one scene that could be argued delves into the inner psyche of Bruce Wayne that scene is very quickly forgotten about and the rest of the film really doesn't show us why Batman is considered to be the world's greatest detective but as you can tell by this review there are some really good things in this film tho. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this film in this very review and as such that means that this film gets a score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Google Images , the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page , Bleeding Cool . Com , the official Batman fandom wiki page and the official Batman The Animated Series fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from the actual film that I personally used in this very review being Google Images simply because all of the images that are from this actual / very film and that I personally found that are currently up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

Masters Of The Universe: Revelation SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!! Review

 


He-Man fans the day that we have been waiting for is finally here since Netflix have just released a new He-Man animated series and well most of what was said on Youtube about this show was is actually pretty freaking true. I'm not going to say anymore in this introduction because in all honesty I have alot more to say about this show and so join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!! review the show that has alot f die hard fans wondering why this show was even made in the first place with the show is question being called simply just "Masters Of The Universe: Revelation" enjoy.

The plot of this show is after an epic battle results in the sword of power being split into and all of the magic in Eternia being starting to drain it's up to Teela and a crew of former heroes and villains to find both half of the sword of power and to restore the magic to world of Eternia once and for all. Yeah i'm not going to lie the plot is the first thing that's wrong with this show because it sidelines He-Man for the vast majority of this first batch of episodes with Teela becoming the shows main character but I will very fully admit that the plot of this show is very well told and is entertaining / intriguing to see play out in the actual show itself.


Starring in this show is Chris Wood as Prince Adam / He-Man , Mark Hamill as Skeletor and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela. Also starring in this show is Liam Cunningham as Man-At-Arms , Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn , Diedrich Bader as King Randor and Trap Jaw , Alicia Silverstone as Queen Marlena , Stephen Root as Cringer , Griffin Newman as Orko , Susan Eisenberg as Sorceress , Kevin Michael Richardson as Beast Man , Kevin Conroy as Mer-Man , Henry Rollins as Tri-Klops , Jason Mewes as Stinkor , Alan Oppenheimer as Moss Man , Justin Long as Roboto , Tony Todd as Scare Glow , Phil LaMarr as He-Ro , Cree Summer as Priestess , Harley Quinn Smith as Ileena and Tiffany Smith as Andra.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very show in all honesty I honestly thought that the acting thats featured / presented to us in this very show wasn't that bad. Altho I do have to question why showrunner and executive producer chose to give Tiffany Smith a leading role in this show since she's the worst actress in this show since she delivers most of her lunes rather flatly in my opinion and it doesn't really help that alot of her scenes have her acting with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lena Headey who are two actresses who you just know are going to knock it out of the park performances wise since almost every single time that either of those two actresses are acting in something they always deliver some really good performances and the same thing is true in this show in my opinion anyways / at least.



Now then doing the actual animation for this TV show / TV series is Powerhouse Animation Studios who of course did the animation that was featured / presented to us in the Castlevania Netflix TV series and as such it should come as no surprise to anybody that the animation that's featured / presented to us in this show is really freaking good. This is because Powerhouse Animation Studios always put quality before quantity and plus Powerhouse Animation Studios are known for turning out good animation in pretty much everything that they've ever worked on.



Now then I will very fully admit that this show is alot better then She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power was simply because this show can be fun at times. However this show falls into the exact same trappings as She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power since this show is far to busy trying to please an audience that simply wasn't interested in seeing this show and they do that through the fact that this show cannot go five minuets without Teela being on screen in some degree and due to the fact that none of the male characters are given much if a personality where as all of the female characters / cast of characters are given tons of personality.

This show has the potential to be something that alot of Masters Of The Universe fans both old and new and causal and die hard fans alike can enjoy. However because this show is so Teela focused it's going to risk alienating the die hard fans while also possibly even confusing the casual fans and that means once again the older fans are going to be mocked by the so called new fans and well if you've seen the Star Wars fandom over the past five or six years you'll know how toxic that can be from both older fans and newer fans alike and that's something that shouldn't happen with this show because all they'd have to with this show is tone Teela's appearences not to the point where she might as well not be a character in the show but to the point where she can become a co-lead character with he-Man since this way the show and thus the older fans can show us how cool of a character He-Man can be and that would thus hopefully create a more united He-Man / Masters Of The Universe fandom / fan base but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.


Like I said this show can be entertaining to watch but at the same time this show doesn't fully embrace the silliness that the Masters Of the Universe / the He-man franchise is at it's core. Since the basic premise of this entire multi media franchise is kind of silly and while the 1983 He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe embraced the silliness of it's own premise this show takes itself far to seriously which does make this show less fun to watch at times.

This first season of this very / particular show is five episodes long with no episode lasting longer then thirty minuets which means that the grand total running time for this first season is at the very least at least two and a half hours long. Which I have to say having this first season be five episodes oddly works well enough in this shows favour since this shows first season storyline doesn't have enough there in terms of plot / story to realistically cover anything that's over five episodes in my opinion anyways / at least.



Now then because / since this show is an action show after all which does infact mean that there are alot of action scenes in this show which means that I have to actually talk about all of the many action scenes that are in this particular / very show and well if i'm being honest the action that's featured / resented to us in this particular / very show was the best of this particular / very show. Since the action scenes are so well animated that all of this show's action practically / basically fly of the screen plus it really does help that we get to see alot of cool moments in all of this shows many and I do mean action scenes / action sequences. 


Overall I cant say that this show destroys my childhood simply because I didn't grow up watching He-Man And The Masters Of the Universe just simply due to the fact that I wasn't born when that show started airing but at the same time I can see clear as day where alot of the die hard He-man And The Masters Of The Universe fans are coming from when they say that they don't like this show but I personally found this show to be rather enjoyable. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this show in this very episode and that means that this show gets a 6.5 out of 10 from me.


Now then as for where I got all of the images that U used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Netflix fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the official Netflix simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official Netflix fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition and yes THAT cliffhanger at the end of episode five is freaking amazing.

I Love Lucy "The Lost Pilot" Review

 


Ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls I want it known that even tho i'm doing a review for an episode that's at the very least seventy years old at this very point time that i'm not that old. I'm reviewing this episode because never seen an episode of I Love Lucy and so when I heard that there was this supposedly lost pilot episode you just know that I was going to try and track down a copy of the mythical supposedly lost episode episode in the question and so here is my review of the I Love Lucy episode that was was lost for about thirty plus years with the episode in question being called simply just "The Lost Pilot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Ricky Ricardo is putting on a show for some sponsors with the hope that his show will get picked up and put up and on television and so he tried everything he can to keep Lucy Ricardo which all changes the second that a clown who is supposed to appear on Ricky Ricardo's show gets himself injured and it's up to Lucy to take the clowns place in Ricky Ricardo's show. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this lost pilot episode the plot of this lost pilot episode to me felt a little bit on the weak which given that this show is a sitcom is to be expected but since this was a pilot you really do want to put your best foot forward to impress people for me at least this story simply didn't do that for me personally.



Starring in this episode is Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo , Desi Arnaz as Ricky Ricardo and Jerry Hausner as Jerry. Also starring in this episode is Bob LeMond as The Voice Of The Narrator for this episode Pepito Pérez as Himself and Joanne Pérez as Herself. This kind of an obvious thing to say but i'm doing this review based off of the 2002 DVD version of the episode as mentioned above features new audio of the original narrator for I Love Lucy that being of cause Bob LeMond but i have to say that you can quite clearly tell when it's new audio and when it's old audio since in the new audio Bob LeMond just sounds tired and almost and yet in the original audio Bob LeMond just sounds the complete opposite of tired and bored.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular / very episode in all honesty I honestly really did like the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular / very episode. This is simply because all of the actors that are starring in this episode have some really good chemistry with each other and while the acting in this very episode isn't perfect by any means (which is to be expected from a pilot episode) the that's in this very episode so for the most part really freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then for those of you who aren't aware I Love Lucy was a show that aired on CBS with the show starting on Monday October 15th 1951 with the show lasting six seasons with the final episode of the show airing on Monday May 6th 1957. This show did kind of spawn a continuation show with the show in question being called simply just "The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour" with that show lasting three seasons airing between Wednesday November 6th 1957 with the final episode airing on Friday April 1st 1960.



Like most pilot episodes this pilot was never aired and was more then / most likely just shown to TV executives in a bid to sell the show. However this pilot episode unlike most other pilot episodes was lost for many decades with the episode episode basically becoming a piece of lost media for many decades that was until at the very the least the very 1990's when Joanne Pérez the wife of Pepito Pérez informed CBS that Lucille Ball had given Pepito Pérez the only copy ever made of this very episode which she only gave it to Pepito Pérez simply due to his friendship and as a show of gratitude.

This episode technically air on television since it was broadcast on Monday April 30th 1990 on CBS as part of a Lucille Ball tribute show with the show in question being hosted by the daughter of both Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz with the daughter's name being simply just Lucie Arnaz. What is interesting is that Lucille Ball was actually six months pregnant with Lucie Arnaz at the time that this very pilot episode was being shot and for the 1990 airing of this episode , some DVD releases and VHS releases of this very episode Lucie Arnaz provides the voice of the narrator that we hear at the very start of the episode.


Now then people used to say that classic Doctor Who had some very wobbly sets and while i've personally never seen classic Doctor Who episodes where the sets would wobble I could see / understand where they were coming from. However I have to say that this particular / very episode has sets that you can actually see wobbling and I get that they most likely didn't have the / a budget to build sturdy sets for this episode but considering the main set that wobbles is meant to be the home for your main characters you'd think that some form of effort would have gone into making sure that that set doesn't wobble that much since in my case at least it reminded me that I was watching a TV show and that I wasn't watching these two people just going about there very / freaking day.

This particular / very episode has a grand total running time of exactly thirty five minuets and seven seconds and well if i'm being very freaking honest here people due to the story being as thinly drawn as it is this episode feels alot longer than / then it actually is. Which is a shame because this episode is very entertaining but it just doesn't have the right story to fit this rather long running time in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then since this episode is a comedy and this episode is from a very well known and as well as very loved comedy TV sitcom that means that I gave to actually talk about the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode and well if i'm being very freaking honest here people the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very episode are really freaking funny. This is because actress Lucille Ball is a genuinely funny person and so she can get a laugh just with a look or with a facial expression and so she can make all of these jokes which if they were given to any other 1950's actress / female comedian these jokes would have fallen flat but because Lucille Ball is a genuinely funny woman she makes all of the jokes in this episode really freaking funny in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Overall while this particular / very pilot episode was a bit rough around the edges you can defiantly that there's something special in this episode and it doesn't take a genius to see why this show was picked nor does it take a genius to see why this show is considered to be one of if not the great American sitcom ever made. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this particular / very episode in this very review and as such this episode gets a grand total score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this freaking very review frim the official I Love Lucy fandom wiki page , Google Images and Bleeding Cool . com. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this episode being Google Images simply because google Images had alot of images from this episode and plus all of the images that I personally found that are currently up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

WWE Raw July 19th 2021 Review

 


Ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls i'm a man of my word and when I told you in yesterdays Money In The bank 2021 review that I would be reviewing the very next episode of WWE Raw. I well and truly meant it and well this episode of WWE raw didn't disappoint as much as other episodes of WWE Raw did and so join me as I review the July 19th 2021 episode of the show that is called simply just "WWE Raw" enjoy.

The biggest storylines going into this particular episode of WWE Raw are of course the storyline between Bobby Lashley and Kofi Kingston and the storyline that's currently going on that is currently between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair. If i'm being well and truly honest here people I honestly do feel that the Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair feud has gone on a bit to long now and I honestly do feel that they should end the Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair feud and just judging by this particular episode of WWE Raw it does seem like that they have ended the Bobby Lashley vs Kofi Kingston feud but I could be well and truly wrong tho.


Now then this show is the first episode of WWE Raw to be held infront of a live crown for well over a year and so celebrate the fans finally being allowed back into watch episodes of WWE programming live we have a new stage / set for both Raw and Smackdown and well just based of the clips of Smackdown that i've seen and the 2021 Money In The bank WWE PPV. It seems like the WWE are using the same stage for both both of the main roster shows and for all PPV's moving forward which for a company that is continuing to make money is not a good thing since that they can very easily have unique sets for all WWE PPV's and that they could also have unique sets for both WWE Smackdown and as well as for WWE Raw as well.

I said this in my Money In The Bank 2021 review and i'll say it again here because it's somethin that really does need to be said but my god does it feel great / nice to have a live crowd appearing at WWE shows once again. Since for me at least having a live crowd appearing at WWE shows is not only apart of the overall WWE product but it's also a great help to those working in WWE creative because now they have that instant reaction and so they can now see what's working and what isn't working and and as well as what people are responding well to and as well as what people aren't responding well to and that will only serve to make the overall product alot better in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then I will very fully admit that there was one thing I really wasn't expecting and it's something that honestly did make me laugh and that's the very fact that John Cena and Riddle have a full blown conversation just using the word bro. Honestly whoever came up with that joke deserves alot praise because it was a genuinely funny and as well as being a genuinely entertaining segment in my opinion anyways / at least.

Heck the early parts of this show had some very entertaining and some very funny moments in them like in the six man tag team match when Riddle sprays Omos with the drip stick but Riddle then throws the drip stick back to The Miz and so it looks like that The Miz sprayed Omos with the drip stick and not Riddle. The entire part of that match was very entertaining simply because of The Miz's reaction to the whole thing which to me just goes to show you that The Miz could really do comedy if he ever wanted to do a comedy TV show or comedy movie if that was something that he really wanted to do tho that is.


Now then just like with last week we got another useless "Alexa's Playground" segment with Alexa Bliss , Piper Niven and Eva Marie. I genuinely do enjoy the "Alexa's Playground" segments as they can be quite creepy but here nothing happens to advance the Alexa Bliss vs Eva Marie feud other then we get to see the return of Lilly and we get to see Eva Marie take a very unconvincing trip / fall and that's really / in all honesty it.

This episode of WWE Raw was an episode that was full of returns and debut since we saw the returns of a few superstars and the debut of a new superstar but the biggest return of them all is the fact that we finally got to hear "No More Words" playing across and arena PA system once again. In all honesty it felt so good to hear that theme song once again because in my opinion anyways / at least it is the best WWE singles theme that Jeff hardy has every had.


Now then as you can most likely tell i really did enjoy this episode of WWE Raw as it was a huge step up from more recent episodes. However those issues are still there and they will be rearing their ugly little heads again in the next few weeks simply due to the booking of certain superstars and the booking of a certain superstars debut simply because when this person was on NXT they were booked to look like an unbeatable monster but here this person was booked to look like a chump and not a possible future WWE Universal / WWE Champion.

This particular episode of WWE Raw had a grand total running time of exactly two hours and seven minuets and thirty five seconds and well if i'm being honest apart from the useless "Alexa's Playground" segment. Every single second of this show was used rather well / well used simply because alot of the running time was dedicated to either progressing current storylines or setting up future storylines and in the possible case of one storyline this episode also spent some time concluding a storyline and it's these things that meant that this particular episode of WWE Raw had some great pacing when it came to the overall product.


Now then since there are some actual wrestling matches that are featured / presented to us on this actual WWE wrestling show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual matches that are featured / presented to us on this actual WWE wrestling show and if im being very freaking honest here the matches that are on this show are a huge step down in quality from the matches that we saw at Money In The Bank 2021. Not that the matches that are in this particular episode WWE Raw are bad because there really not but it's because the matches that we saw at Money In The Bank 2021 were so good that it was always going to be hard to top the matches that we saw at Money In The Bank 2921 in my opinion anyways / at least.


Overall this episode of WWE Raw is perhaps the best of WWE Raw that i've seen in a long time and I hope to god that WWE Raw starts to become better and better with each passing episode but that is something that only time will be fully able to tell us all tho. Now that i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are on / in this particular episode of WWE Raw that means that this particular episode of WWE Raw gets a huge score / rating of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and from google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that I used from / of this particular of WWE Raw being Google Images simply because of the wide verity of images that Google Images had and also simply because all of the images that are currently up and on Google Images and that are from this particular episode of WWE Raw are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
