Worzel Gummidge "The Scarecrow Hop" Review

 

I don't really think that I need to tell you just how much that I love the show that i'm going to be talking about today as i've talked about this show quite alot now. However it still needs hitting home just how much that I love this show because it's a show that I actively look forward to talk about and so then join me as I review the episode that brought the first series of this really and truly fantastic show to a close with the episode in question being called simply just "The Scarecrow Hop" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Aunt Sally is let go from her job at the big house Worzel takes it upon himself to cheer his beloved up. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the episodes plot being really entertaining when it needs to be and really very engaging and thought provoking when it wants to be as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Jeremy Austin as John Peters. Also starring in this episode is Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Denis Gilmore as Harry , Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , Norman Mitchell as P.C. Parsons , Bill Pertwee as The M.C , Michael Ripper as Mr. Shepherd and Joan Sims as Mrs. Bloomsbury-Barton.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which for this series let alone this show isn't something that's all that new as every single episode of this has always had some really good acting in it and the actors are helped by the episodes wonderful script and so all the cast have to do is just say the words as they are written and boom a good performance will come out naturally.

This episode is very a good example of Worzel being a kind person as he takes Aunt Sally to a local dance just because he wants to cheer her up. This just goes to show just how kind of a character that Worzel has grown to become as the Worzel that we meet at the start of the series wouldn't do anything like that and yet due to the things that he;s gone through over the course of the series he's become more kind and has now started showing that kindness to the person in the whole entire show who isn't kind to anybody but herself.

For some strange reason on the recent DVD and Blu-ray release of the series that I own they turn Worzel's skin orange for one small scene in this episode. Which was something that I found to be very distracting and if it was just limited to this episode it wouldn't be to bad but this is the second time in this one series that i've seen this come up and so I have to wonder what happened when they were restoring this show that caused characters to change their skin color as it's something that is very distracting.

What I really loved about this episode is that it not only mentions the previous episode with the ending of that episode being the driving force behind this episodes event but it also mentions the third episode of the show as well. This does provide the series with a sense of continuity and world building that you just don't get to see any kind of TV programmes these days but on the flip side of that it is something that I could very easily see putting of and and all new fans of this show as well as it would mean having to watch basically an hours worth of programming just to understand a few lines of dialog in this episode.

If you thought that this episode was going to end it's first series on happy note then I have some bad news for you. As it actually ends on what might be considered a sad note but it's how it ends that makes this series stand out as we find out that it's when she's in her attic that Aunt Sally dreams her dreams of marrying a rich royal and it's when Worzel is on his pole that he dreams his dreams this was on oddly poignant ending for a show whose first series episodes often ended in an upbeat way and it's an ending that I really did love as it really does show that the hero doesn't always get the girl and sometimes just because you did the right thing doesn't mean that you get to have a happy ending.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty four minuets. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for this show and while this episode does make the most of it's running time I do wish that this episode was just a tad big longer just so the more emotional ending could have more of an impact and you could have had more scenes at the dance hall just because those were some really fun and funny scenes but if you did that then you'd end up messing with this episodes pacing as this episode does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode having some really funny moments in it but at the same time there were also alot of of jokes that just straight up didn't land as well as they should have done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really solid end to a great first series of this truly wonderful show that truly does show you just what this show can be like when it's at it's absolute best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 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 review from Amazon . Co . Uk , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Saved By The Bell: Wedding In Las Vegas Film Review

 

There are some shows and movies that just scream nineties and well the movie that i'm about to review today is one of those movies. It's also a movie that has for some strange reason been lost to the sands of time which is weird because the 2020 reboot of the show openly referenced this movie and so then join me as I review the movie that should have served as the end to this franchise with the movie in question being called simply just "Saved By The Bell: Wedding In Las Vegas" enjoy.

The plot of this movie is teenage sweethearts Zack and Kelly are about to get married if only they can pay for the wedding. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best as the film adds in another plot line which just isn't needed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Zack Morris and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen as Kelly Kapowski. Also starring in this film is Mario Lopez as A.C. Slater , the late Dustin Diamond as Samuel 'Screech' Powers , Lark Voorhies as Lisa Turtle , Liz Vassey as Carla , Spencer Rochfort as Curt Martin , Mark DeCarlo as Freddie Silver , Melody Rogers as Mrs. Melanie Morris , John Sanderford as Mr. Derek Morris , the great Dennis Haskins as Mr. Richard Belding , Elizabeth Berkley as Jessie Spano , Bob Golic as Mike Rogers , Kiersten Warren as Alex Tabor , Gilbert Gottfried as Bert Banner , Pat Corley as Sheriff Myron Thorpe , Marianne Muellerleile as Diana Beaujolais and Richard Schiff as Deputy Dano.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As Saved By The Bell was one of those shows that was never known for having great acting in it and so to expect this film to have high quality acting in it would just feel weird and really oddly out of place for this franchise.

For those of you that don't know this film is a follow up to the final episode of Saved By The Bell: The College Years. With the events of this film having been set up in the final few episodes of that show however you don't really need to have seen that show all that much as apart from one scene at the end and one at the beginning there's next to nothing that connects the movie to that show and while yes it would help to least watch those last two episodes it's not really a must watch as this film doesn't tie up an of that shows storylines at all.

In what was a shockingly common trend for movies that featured teen sweethearts getting married in Las Vegas this movie also has a mob story. Which is just unneeded as it adds nothing to the overall plot of the movie and is there just have a car chase scene and nothing more then that which makes me wonder why they bothered to include that plot line in the movie as the main plot line is what the fans of the show are here to see and it's that plot line that alot of people who even had just a passing interesting in Saved By The Bell are here to see.

This movie really should have been the finale for the franchise as a whole as the whole hook for this franchise was the whole will they won't they relationship between Zack and Kelly. With that now settled and all of the characters having moved on to the next stage of their lives there was no need for that dreadful spin off Saved By The Bell: The New Class to even happen as this film already gave us a satisfactory conclusion to this world and to these characters and so there was no need to produce a spin off show without these characters that people had really come to love at this point in the franchises history.

This film just looks and feels cheaply made which does make sense as this was a made for TV movie but at the same time you still have to look expensive. You can tell that this movie was cheaply made because they make it really obvious when their a stunt person and they have some really obvious dubbing for those scenes as well and on top of that the opening credits look like the type of thing that someone would put on one of their home movies and not something that a major network like NBC would have on one of their movies.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty five minuets and fifty three seconds. Which for a film like this one is pretty much the exact running time that you'd expect it to have and to this films credit it does make the most that it can do with that running time however they really could have expanded upon the main plot and given the returning something more to do then just a cameo near the end of the film all by removing the pointless mobster subplot but I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best. As this film does have some jokes that will put a smile on your face but at the same time his film features alot more bad joke in it then it does good jokes in it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if this film was the end of the Saved By The Bell franchise it would have been a very serviceable end but as it is it;s just a decent film that's a time capsule in to the nineties and nothing more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 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 review from the official Saved By The Bell fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressiojns Of The American Born Chinese TV Series

 

Disney has a really busy week this week with the release of The Little Mermaid live action remake currently in cinemas. Not only that but the house of mouse also has a new live action TV show out on Disney+ with them releasing all of the shows eight episodes and while i'm not going to be reviewing this show I will still be giving you my first impressions of the show and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that really is basically an Everything Everywhere All At Once reunion with the show in question being called simply just "American Born Chinese" enjoy.

Here is where I would normally write what the plot of these episodes is and give you my opinions on the plot as a whole. However this show has done me a huge favor and decided not to include a plot at all which is a huge red flag for me as now the show has no reason to exist and so when your opening two episodes have no plot to them it makes you wonder why you should stick around for episode three because now the show gives you no reason to watch episode three whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in these first two episodes is Ben Wang as Jin Wang , Yeo Yann Yann as Christine Wang and Chin Han as Simon Wang. Also starring in this show is Ke Huy Quan as Jamie Yao / Freddy Wong , Jimmy Liu as Sun Wei-Chen , Sydney Taylor as Amelia Taylor , Daniel Wu as Sun Wukong / The Monkey King , Mahi Alam as Anuj , Stony Blyden as Andy , David Bloom as Josh , Justin Jarzombek as Travis , Ethan Rich as Greg and Michelle Yeoh as Guanyin.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the cast for these episodes doing the best that they can do however this shows script just doesn't give the cast alot to work with interms of what their characters respective personalities actually are.

Doing the CGI for these episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Double Negative and ReDefine. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty average at best. As we did get some decent looking CGI effects but at the exact same time tho we also got alot of just really very bad looking CGI effects as well.

For those of you that don't know this film is based of off the 2006 graphic novel of the exact same name written by Gene Luen Yang. I will admit that until the writing f this post I never knew that this TV show was based of off anything and just based of off a quick of the books Wikipedia page I will say that adapting this story for television was the right move just because if you tried doing it as a movie then your audience wold get so confused with all of the different setting and time periods where as with a TV show you don't really have to worry about that.

This show is most defiantly made for today's audiences and I don't mean that in a good way with alot of the side characters complaining alot about things being problematic. Which is something that gets annoying really fast and it just screams of Disney trying to put politics into a story that really doesn't need it in their granted things do get a little better in episode two but it;s something that really didn't need to be in the show at all with the shows creator only putting it in as a way to make the story appeal to everyone and i'm not making this up either as this was something that he said in an interview with the website Time.

For some strange reason Disney has now gotten into the habit of releasing all episodes of alot of their shows at once. Which is something that i'm dead set against as it's not something that works well for this show as this show works better when you have a week to create theories about the next episode and to get excited for the next episode both of which are important for any good TV show as it now means that you have that extra time to get hyped about the show and that's not something that your going to get when all of the episodes are being released at the exact same time.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty three minuets and sixteen seconds whereas episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty nine minuets and forty six seconds. With episode one having a really good running time as it really does need that long of a running time just to set up the story of the show , the shows world and the shows characters but both episodes have dreadful pacing due to the lack of a story happening and as such your just watching these characters go about their day to day lives and there's only so long you can watch that before it starts to get really dull and really boring.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad/ Altho at the same time it wasn't that good either with the action in these first two episodes being very slow paced and just trying to hard to be cool and awesome in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall I find it hard to say if this show deserves all of the praise that it's getting because I only watched and will only ever watch the shows first two episodes but based of what I saw this show is nothing more then OK at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and as this only my first impressions i'm not going to be giving this show a rating i've not really seen enough episodes to give the show as a whole a fair rating.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The Gremlins: Secrets Of The Mogwai TV Series

 

The Gremlins franchise is one that has long been dead since the nineteen nineties with various attempts of making a third movie mounting to nothing so far. As such it came as quite shock when it was announced that the franchise would be returning as an animated series and well then that series has just dropped it's first two episodes and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that seeks to relaunch a dead franchise with the series in question being called simply just "Gremlins: Secrets Of The Mogwai" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is when Sam Wing finds himself of a dangerous creature known as a Mogwai he has to return it to it's home before the creature is taken by someone who is raising an army of evil Mogwai. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good as it does a good job of introducing this world to new fans and reintroducing the world to old fans as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is Gabrielle Green as Elle , A. J. Locascio as Gizmo and James Hong as Grandpa. Also starring in these first two episodes is Matthew Rhys as Riley Greene , Izaac Wang as Sam Wing , Ming-Na Wen as Fong Wing , BD Wong as Hon Wing and Ratcatcher , Eric Bauza as A Adoring Fan , A Yeti and A Circus Assistant , Henchman 1 , Noggin and Snout , SungWon Cho as The Circusmaster , Keisuke Hoashi as The Conductor , Customer 1 and Customer 2 and voice acting legend Grey Griffin as Candy Vendor , A Furry Mogwai and Claw.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that' actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. Which was something that really did catch me of guard as most of the cast for these episodes is mostly made up of unknown actors and actresses barring of course one or two and so I really had no idea whatsoever what to expect from these two episodes acting wise.

Doing the animation for these episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Blue Spirit Productions. No then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty no that bad altho alot of the characters are given very large heads which are just very of putting and very weird looking.

I won't lie ad say that i'm die hard fan of the Gremlins franchise because i'm not heck i've not even seen any of the movies all the way through. However I will admit that i'm glad that this show has stuck the rules of the Mogwai which just goes to show that this show is in good hands and is quit clearly being made by someone who is a fan of the franchise as if they weren't a fan of the franchise then we could quite possibly get something that's just as bad or if not worse then the animated Velma TV series but as this show is being made by fans of the Gremlins it's actually quite good and is even accessible for people like myself who aren't really die hard fans of the Gremlins franchise.

Even tho this show is being made for little kids there's some stuff just in these first two episodes alone that would scare some little kids. I'm not going to spoil what they are but if you've seen these first two episodes then you'll now exactly what i'm talking about and i'm glad that the makers of this show included some horror elements as kids do like being scared and scaring kids in a family friendly way is always something that I love as it just goes to show you that it's OK to put some horror elements in children's media.

For some strange reason HBO Max chose to release the first two episodes of this show which is something that just doesn't work for this show. As this show could really benefit from having one episodes released per week as this would then allow the fans of the franchise to speculate on what's going to happen next and for the people who are just starting this franchise with this show to really get absorbed into the franchise and while some shows do benefit more from having more then episode release a week not all shows do and this show is a prime example of a show that doesn't benefit from releasing more then one episode per week.

Now then these episodes have / had an exact grand total running of no longer then twenty three minuets. With both episodes having roughly a twenty two minuet running time which is perfect for a show like this one to have altho in saying that as these two episodes tell one story they really could have released this episode as a forty five minuet episode as there's really no need to have these episodes split up in half and it really does help that both of these have some really good pacing to both of them with both of the episodes really just flying by.

So now then since this a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the issue because it's not that good either with their being alot more bad jokes in both of these episodes then there are good jokes in these episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is so far a really good show and it really does deserve all of the praise that it's been getting from the critics and i'm so glad that this show has already been picked up for a second season as it is so far that good of a show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released and then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

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 post from the official Gremlins fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Superman: The Animated Series "Fun And Games" Review

 

To many when they think of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe) they only think of Batman: The Animated Series. However alot of them just straight up forget or just don;t know that another superhero also had his very own superhero animated show from the exact same tam behind Batman: The Animated Series and so then join me as I review the episode that gives a classic villain a very creepy design with the episode in question being called simply just "Fun And Games" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a mob boss and Lois Lane is kidnapped by an unknown villain it's up to Superman to save the day before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being a really fun plot and was really entertaining and engaging as well ad when it needs to be it can quite a heartbreaking and fun filled plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Tim Daly as Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman , Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm star Dana Delany as Lois Lane and Back To The Future: The Animated Series star David Kaufman as Jimmy Olsen. Also starring in this episode is Bud Cort as Winslow P. Schott Jr. / Toyman , Bruce Weitz as Bruno Mannheim , Joe Nipote as Spider Spinelli , Kevin Michael Richardson as A Cop and A Thug and Joe Lala as A Electrician.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances which given that alot of this episodes cast members have become to many the voices of these characters isn't all that surprising at all.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at TMS-Kyokuichi Corporation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good and was really alot better then what I remember it being and was more then up to the high standerd set by Batman: The Animated Series.

I'm just going to say the design for Toyman is really creepy and could very easily pass for being the design for a new slasher horror villain. There's just something about the characters creepy plastic smile that is just very of putting and it's something that really does work well for this character as the character loves his toys and he loves making toys and so having him look like an actual toy is oddly fitting for his character and seeing how everything that he uses is toy like just goes to show you just how creative the makers of this show were and still are.

If Batman: The Animated Series was more of a noir crime and mystery show that just so happens to be a superhero show then this show and this episode is a straight up superhero show. Which is something that works well enough for the character of Superman but at the same time with Clark Kent being a reporter I would have preferred it if the how had more of a mystery element to it as in this episode we the audience become ahead of Clark interms of what he knows and so all the mystery gets sucked out of it and that's something that really shouldn't be the case as it does make for compelling TV as now we're just left waiting for him to catch up with what we already know.

Lois in this episode really doesn't do all that much as they start a subplot with her and Clark trying to get a story written quicker but then they drop it for no reason. Then the character gets kidnapped and instead of using Superman's hearing ability to help locate both her and the villain she just sits there in a cute looking doll costume with Lois in this episode just being inserted into the main plot for no reason whatsoever which is a shame because her character does work but she really didn't need to be in the main plot of this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and sixteen seconds. Which for this episode is a great running time to have as this episode really doesn't really have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover that long of a running time but at the same time I feel that if this episode did have a slightly longer running time then it could have fleshed out the character of Toyman a bit more just so they could make him a more three dimensional character but I will admit that this episode does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. However it's clearly not as good as it perhaps could have been as it's just not as fun and creative as it really should have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really fun filled that had alot of really good jokes in it but at the same time it felt really tame and wasn't really up to the high standards that this creative team have set for themselves in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 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 used in this very review the official DC Animated fandom wiki page , the official DC Database fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman "Harlequinade" Review

 

I've been reviewing episodes of Batman: the Animated Series for a while and all of the episodes that i've covered have been very serious episodes. Well i've finally found that's a bit more comedic in tone which is very fitting given the episodes main character and it might also be the inspiration for the Batman And Harley Quinn movie as well and so then join me as I review that really is alot funnier then what it really had any right to be with the episode in question being called simply just "Harlequinade" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Joker decides to blow up Gotham using a nuclear bomb Batman and Robin have to team with Harley Quinn to find out where The Joker is hiding out. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very review well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good and was also really entertaining and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is the late Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Loren Lester as Richard Grayson / Robin. Also starring in this episode is Bob Hastings as Commissioner Gordon , The Twilight Zone star Lloyd Bochner as Mayor Hamilton Hill, Star Wars and voice acting legend Mark Hamill as The Joker , Arleen Sorkin as Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn , Dick Miller as Boxy Bennett and Neil Ross as The Dealer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that he actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which for this show isn't all that surprising but what is surprising is the fact that Kevin Conroy can pull a more comedic Batman as well as the more serious version of his Batman and still turn in a really good peformance.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Dong Yang Animation Co., LTD.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good which again for this show really isn't all that new with the characters having some really nice and fluid movements to them and the backgrounds looking really great as well.

As I said at the start of this review this episode is alot more comedic then previous episodes of this show. Alot of that comes down to the fact that we are seeing Batman and Robin teaming up with Harley Quinn which gives us a great dynamic as we get to see both Batman and Robin play the straight man to Harley Quinn's funny man and that is something that works as it allows our heroes to be their usual selves and it allows the episode to really get alot more comedy just out of it's set up and it's premise alone.

While this is a really good episode there are some things that I really didn't like in this episode like the fact that Harley sings a song which is a funny song but it adds nothing to the overall plot of the episode. I also didn't like that this films more comedic tone clashes with the seriousness of The Joker's plan to kill to millions of people and as such I really do think that the makers of this show should have just stuck with one tone instead of having two that clash which only serves to create tonal whiplash for us the audince. 

This episode does show us something that I really did love and that's the fact that we get to see Harley Quinn herself go to some really dark places mentally. With the character even threatening to and almost killing The Joker with her only being stopped by the fact that she was using a fake gun but it's just that one action alone that goes to show you that the Harley Quinn who has a PHD and was a good person is still in their and will only come out when she's pushed to her limits and heck even seeing her realise that The Joker might not be good for her is a pretty dark and heartbreaking scene.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirteen seconds. Which for an episode that's as comedic as this one is is the perfect amount of running time to have but I will admit that this episode doesn't have alot their interms of either plot and story with some of the early scenes between Batman and Harley Quinn just feeling like that there on repeat which is a shame because this episode really does have some really good pacing to it with this episode really just flying right on by.

So now then this is an action show and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With the action in this episode being very minimal at best and what action we do get is fairly solid but apart from the final fight the action in this episode is very repetitive at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a solid episode and was hugely entertaining with this episode being one that I would not only highly recommend to fans of Harley Quinn but also to fans of this show as well because it really is that good of an episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 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 review from the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page ad Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from the actual film that I personally used in this very review being the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom page simply because of the fact that all of the images that are from this actual / very episode and that I personally found that are all currently up and on Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are all very really fairly high in quality and as well as all of the images also being very really fairly high definition.

Worzel Gummidge "The Jumbly Sale" Review

 

TV fans there are some shows that despite being made for children somehow manage to be better then most shows that are made for adults. Worzel Gummidge is one of those shows and I think that i've found the episode that is not only pretty scary but also has what I think is one of the best acted and one of the best written scenes in the whole entire show and so then join me as I review the episode that sees a character finally get what they deserve with the episode in question being called simply just "The Jumbly Sale" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when she is donated to the local village jumble sale Aunt Sally asks Worzel to help her out only for Worzel to accidentally break of one of her legs. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being alot better then what you'd expect from something that's made for kids in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Jeremy Austin as John Peters. Also starring in this episode is Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Barbara Ashcroft as Mrs. Mountjoy , Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Ted Carroll as Gypsy Joe , Norman Mitchell as P.C. Parsons and Michael Ripper as Mr. Shepherd.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is something that I know that I say alot about this show but there's one scene in this episode that really does hit home just how good the acting and the writing in this show well and truly was.

I really do believe that this episode contains what might possibly be one of the best acted and best written scenes in this whole show. With it being in the scene with Worzel just talking to The Crowman and telling him that he no longer wants to scare crows anymore because of the fact that he's ashamed of what he did to Aunt Sally and that whole scene is just wonderfully acted as we get to see the pain come through in Worzel's voice and we get to hear just how reluctant The Crowman is to grant Worzel his wish as he knows that he doesn't really mean it.

When I say that this episode gets dark quick I mean it because this episode gets dark as all heck by the ten minuet mark and it just stays there for the reminded of the episodes running time. While Worzel Gummidge has always had dark moments in it those moments never really lasted longer then a scene or two but when it takes up the overall majority of the episode it just makes the whole episode feel different because of the fact that there's very little levity in this episode which is something that I found to be really shocking.

While this episode is still a later Aunt Sally episode which are episodes that I usually dislike as they nine times our of ten end the exact same way. Here it ends with Aunt Sally not getting her way and ending up back and locked up n her owners attic which was something that was really refreshing as it goes to show that this character doesn't always win every episode that she's in it's just ashame that this episode doesn't force her character tog row as she ends up the exact same way in all of remaining appearances which does cheapen the ending of this episode just a little bit.

If your like me and you've grown rather tired of the Aunt Sally character just due to how she mistreats Worzel then you'll loved this episode. As this episode is mostly about her finally getting what's coming to her firstly with her leg being accidentally pulled of and secondly when she's locked up in her owners attic and while it's a shame that her experiences in this episode didn't humble the character a bit it does show that the makers of this show know that the character is starting to get annoying and making her getting knocked down a peg or two apart of the main story and showing Worzel feeling so distraught that he's willing to go the one place that all scarecrows can't bring themselves to say the compost heap really was a huge stroke of genius on behalf of show creators and writers Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty six minuets. Which to his episodes credit is the perfect running time for an episode like this one to have as it has more then enough there interms of plot and story to cover that large amount of running time and it really does help that this episode has some really great pacing to it as well with the episode really just flying right on by. 

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty bad. With their not really being any laugh out loud amounts in this episode which would usually be a bad thing but given that this episode was more focused on being a pretty dark and scary episode it does make sense and plus we did get a greats stunt near the beginning of the episode with I think stuntman Terry Welsh falling from quite a high ways up which could be seen as joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode is such an underrated episode just due to how well written and how well acted the episode is and even the episode is very Aunt Sally focused it was still a rather good and a rather shocking episode as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 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 review from Amazon . Co . Uk , Wikipedia , Twitter and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
