It's The Girl In The Red Truck, Charlie Brown Film Review

 

The Peanuts gang have been in so many specials and feature films that it's hard to keep track of them all however what all of those specials have in common is the fact that there animated. Well there's one special out there that actually isn't fully animated and that's the special that i'm going to be taking a look at today just because I wanted to see good this film or special was and then join me as I review the special that really doesn't actually feature alot of the Peanuts gang in it with the special in question being called simply "It's the Girl In The Red Truck, Charlie Brown" enjoy.

The plot of this special is the first thing that's wrong with this special as there's very little to know to no plot to speak. I get it that alot of the Peanuts films and specials always have little plot in them to begin with but those always had characters that we liked and cute and charming animation to go with it and this film has none of those aspects and so we the audience are forced to focus a little bit harder on this films lack of story and so what would be a very minor issue in the other Peanuts adaptations suddenly becomes a major issue in this one in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Jason Riffle as The Voice Of Charlie Brown and Steven Stoliar as The Voice of The French Teacher On Cassette. Also starring in this film is Jill Schulz as Jenny , Molly Brice as Molly , Greg Deacon as Jeff and regular Peanuts director and producer Bill Melendez as The Voice Of Spike. This was I think the only time that Bill Melendez didn't play Snoopy in any Peanuts adaptation with the character appearing instead in a silent cameo at the start of the movie to help to set up the events of the film.

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. However that's also the issue as the acting in this film wasn't all that good either with this film mostly using very unknown actors and actresses or people who aren't an actor and actress and it really does show in the quality of the acting that we got in this film. with the acting not really being helped by the script which gives the actors and actresses nothing interms of what their respective characters personalities even are.

I have no idea who is doing the animation for this film I assume that it's Bill Melendez Productions but I could be wrong tho. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the animation being alot better then what it really had any right to be.

Even tho this film uses very similar techniques to Who Framed Roger Rabbit it's important to note that this film was being developed before Who Framed Roger Rabbit. However tho it's hard not to compare the two as Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the more popular of the two and while this film was made on a TV show budget the animated characters really do bend in well enough with the live action elements so well in fact that there are certain shots in this film that had me wondering how they managed to get that shot.

This film writer , producer and Thee Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz once said that he wanted this film to be his Citizen Kane. What he really should have focused on is making a good film because this film just isn't that good of a film at all with this film not really having any likable characters in it at all not that the characters that we have in this film are unlikable characters because there not it's just that there not really all that well written either and so they all just come across as bland and boring and are doing not because it's in their character to so but rather because the plot demands that they do those things instead.

From what little information that I can gather online this film has seen very few home media releases and I can see why. As it's a film that just looks cheap even down to using a small number of actors and characters and not really helping things is the fact that this film doesn't really feel like a Peanuts film or special as there's no heartwarming message and apart from Charlie Brown and Snoopy the actual Peanuts gang don't appear in this film with this film feeling like it was meant to be something else entirely only for it to be turned into a Peanuts special at the last minuet.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty eight minuets and four seconds. Which to this films credit does feel about the right amount of time for this film to have but given that this film has no story to it alot of the ti,e it just feels like your watching the characters just go through their day to day lives and while that never gets boring in this film it is something that can get boring very quickly and I will admit that this film does indeed have some really good pacing to it with the film really just flying by.

So now then since this is meant to be 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 in this very film was in all honesty really bad. With this film not really having any funny jokes in it at all with alot of this films jokes just falling flat which is a shame because The Peanuts specials usually have alot of really great and funny jokes in them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall out of all the adaptations that The Peanuts gang have been in this is perhaps the worst one that i've seen which is a shame because a live action Peanuts special could be really good 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 4 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 Peanuts fandom wiki page , 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 up and on on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being all really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Terminus Review

 

When a new season of classic Doctor Who is announced to be joining it's ever popular Blu-Ray range it's always a course for celebration. As it means that new fans will get the chance to to discover episodes that they perhaps might have never even heard about with this episode being a very good example of that and so then join me as i review the episode that sees one companion leave the show for good with the episode in question being called simply just "Terminus" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when something causes the TARDIS to go wrong The Doctor and his companions find themselves on a spaceship they have to prevent the ship from exploding and causing the end of the universe. 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 pretty bad with this episodes plot being weak at best so weak infact that it's hard to tell what the actual plot of this episode even was as the plot is that weak in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Peter Davison as The Doctor , Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka. Also starring in this episode is Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough , Valentine Dyall as The Black Guardian , Liza Goddard as Kari , Dominic Guard as Olvir , Andrew Burt as Valgard , Tim Munro as Sigurd , Martin Potter as Eirak , Peter Benson as Bor , R.J. Bell as The Garm , Martin Muncaster as The Voice Of The Tannoy and Rachel Weaver as Inga.

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. Wit all of this episodes cast turning in some decent performances the issue is tho that the guest cast aren't really given all that much to work with interms of what their characters personalities are and so they can't really match up with the series regular cast performance wise.

To me this is the episode that feels the most like a horror film as it has alot of  the elements that are found in horror films.Like for example having deformed people walking around wile our main heroes are hidden underneath is a very common trope as is the spacecraft setting all of which give this episode an Alien type of vibe and that is something that does work really well to this episodes advantage as it gives the episode some much needed atmosphere as it means that there could be a scare coming around the corner at minuet now.

Usually when Doctor Who does an episode where a companion leaves the show that companion is usually replaced the next episode or even in the exact same episode. However this particular era of the show did something different by introducing the next companion in the previous episode and by giving them a whole story arc with this episode being the middle of that arc for the character of  Vislor Turlough and this was a really cool idea as it gives the audience the chance to see the character go through some rather radical changes before he becomes fully excepted as the new companion to The Doctor.

With that being said however I don't like the idea of a companion trying to kill of The Doctor as it's something that a companion should never try to do. As to me a companion is someone who the can be a friend to The Doctor when he needs one and someone who can tell The Doctor of when he does something that's close to being a Dalek and while having Vislor Turlough start of as this evil character does give his character somewhere to go interms of character development it also makes him seem like a rather unlikable character as well.

This episode is the one that saw Nyssa leave the TARDIS for good and to put it bluntly I really didn't like her departure. As it's something that's really built up it's just something that happens for no reason and that's not what a companion departure should be like as it should be something that's built up over of the course of either story or a single episode so that way when it does happen it feels like a natural conclusion but here it's something that only gets mentioned near the end of the story and that doesn't do either the show or the character any kind of justice.

Now then this episode has four episodes which means that this episode has / had a combined grand total running time of roughly one and thirty minuets. Which was a bit on the short side for this episode as it doesn't give us time to fully develop either the story or it's characters which ultimately leaves the story leaving a bit flat and the characters feeling rather one dimensional at the best of times which is a shame because the basic idea of this episode is a very solid idea it just needed more episodes to fully do it justice but I will admit that this episode does have some really good pacing to it.  

So now then as there was some action in this episode 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. Especially since classic Doctor Who wasn't really known for having really good action scenes and to see some really good looking action scenes in this episode was truly shocking to see in in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a fairly bad companion departure episode as it doesn't really give any kind of closure to the leaving companion and the story as a whole feels rather under-cooked 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 earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , the official Doctor Who 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being all really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 "The Batwoman" Review

 

If there is one little show that just keeps of going it's quite easily Mystery Science Theater 300 as the show has been cancelled so many times by so many different companies. Heck i'm willing to bet alot of you didn't even know that the show has finished airing it's thirteenth season this time airing on it's streaming service and so then join me as I review the episode that features a new host with the episode in question being called simply just "The Batwoman" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is host Emily finds out she is two percent robot all the while Kinga goes on vocation with her grandmother. 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 being thin but enjoyable at the exact same time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Emily Marsh as Emily Connor , Kelsey Ann Brady as The Voice Of Crow and Conor McGiffin as The Voice Of Tom Servo. Also starring in this episode is Yvonne Freese as The Voice Of GPC 2 / Mega-Synthia Forrester , Mary Jo Pehl as Pearl Forrester , Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , Patton Oswalt as Max , this franchises creator Joel Hodgson as Ardy and Ivan Askwish as Bonesy.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 not that bad. With this episodes cast turning in some pretty decent performances which was really what I expected as this show isn't really known for having good or even great acting in it.

The film that's being featured in this episode is the 1968 Mexican rip off film The Batwoman which as the title would suggest is a rip of off Batman. The film itself just looks so laughably bad and it's such an obvious rip off of Batman that it makes me wonder why DC Comics and Warner Bros Pictures didn't get in touch with the original film makers to tell them to stop what there doing because it's laughable at just how much it's an obvious Batman ripoff but at the same time tho I do wish more people knew about this film as it does look at the very least laughably bad like a movie that's so bad that it becomes good again.

While this episode isn't the first episode to feature the Emily character as a host for the show it is I think the first one of hers that i've seen. I have to admit that I really did like her as she does seem like a very fun and funny person and she does seem like a good fit for this show as she makes alot of painfully jokes in this episode but I will admit that bringing in a new host when they have the Mike character right there just seems pointless to me as they could have brought Mike back to get some more of the old school fans that aren't on board with this new batch episodes and will get them on board with this new batch of episodes.

When this recent batch of episodes first started it was getting alot of hate for it's CGI and it's CGI heavy intro and yeah I can kinda see why. As the effects just aren't that good even for this show which was known for having really cheap looking practical effects the fact that this batch of episodes has just really flat and boring looking CGI just doesn't do the show any kind of favors and I get that this show is funded by the fans but that is still not an excuse for bad looking CGI as there are effects heavy shorts on Youtube that were done for free that have better looking effects then the ones that we got in this new batch of episodes.

What I didn't like about this episode is the fact that alot of the evil characters don't get alot of screen time in this episode. Which is weird because the episodes pre-title scene promises that we'll get to see alot of more of them in this episode but barring two or three host segments we don't really get to see alot of them in this episode which given how this episodes ends really shouldn't have been the case as the episodes ends in a way that hints that there was a lot more going on with them in this episode which would have been really fun and funny to actually see in the actual episode itself.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty four minuets and nine seconds. Which for this show is pretty much the bog standerd running time and to this episodes credit it really cram alot in in that amount of running time with the episode really just flying right on by I just wish that the episode was a tad bit longer just because the host segments in this episode were so fun to see that I wanted to see more of them and this episode is also really helped by the fact that it has some really good pacing to it as well.

So now then since this is a comedy show 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 really good. With the jokes that this episode makes about the The Batwoman movie being really funny with the same thing also being true for this episodes host segments as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this wasn't that bad of episode it's just that it wasn't that good of an episode but for a season who's intro really got slammed by the fans and the fact that this season was self financed they did the best they could with what little money they had 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 7 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 IMP Awards . Com , the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 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 every so truly wonderful Google Images and since that all of the images that are currently up and and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Deep Breath Review

 

It's always exciting seeing a post regeneration episode as you never know exactly what it is your going to get. Well that was also the case with the episode that i'm going to be reviewing today as this episode comes on the heels of not one but two very successful runs on the show and so to say that was alot riding on this episode was a huge understatement and so then join me as I review the episode that saw two versions of two characters debut with the episode in question being called simply just "Deep Breath" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a dinosaur appears in the middle of Victorian London it's up to a freshly regenerated Doctor to find out what's going on. 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 doing a good job of setting up the plot for the season and telling a really good individual story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Peter Capaldi as The Doctor , Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald and Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra , Catrin Stewart as Jenny Flint , Dan Starkey as Strax , Peter Ferdinando as The Half-Face Man , Paul Hickey as Inspector Gregson , Tony Way as Alf , Maggie Service as Elsie , Brian Miller as Barney , Ellis George as Courtney , Michelle Gomez as Missy and Matt Smith as The Doctor.

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 isn't that surprising as Peter Capaldi is a really good actor and the same thing is true for alot of this episodes cast members as well.

Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Milk and BBC Wales VFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty alot better then what I remember it being with the CGI dinosaur looking really good as does the CGI London.

This episode is technically the final episode to feature Matt Smith as The Doctor as he did film a cameo scene at the end of this episode. I have to admit that while his cameo does make sense for Clara's arc in this episode it was also kind of distracting as all it does is remind fans of a really popular version of The Doctor which is something that you really shouldn't be doing when your trying to win those fans back other with this new version of The Doctor which is a shame because his dialog about this new version of The Doctor is scared and needs Clara's help is very well done.

I will admit that having the characters of Jenny , Madame Vastra and Strax appear in this episode was a smart move. As apart from Clara they are the only characters that the audience will recognize and so having them appear together in a post regeneration episode does serve as a great way to ease your audience into this transition between Doctors as those characters can now serve as avatar's for the audience and so when they trust The Doctor hopefully as the audience will also be won over and start to trust The Doctor as well. 

I'm not a fan of The Doctor killing anyone or anything as to me that would make him no better then the enemies that he fights and so seeing him kill someone off in this episode just didn't sit right with me. As that's not in his DNA to do so and for him to do so even if it's somewhat of a last resort just seems out of character which granted might be the point but given that we as audience members are still trying to learn if we can trust this version of the character or not having him kill someone in his first episode just doesn't work as something that dramatic should be earned and that is simply not the case with the death in this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and sixteen minuets and twenty nine seconds. Which was a tad bit of a long running time for this episode to have as it really doesn't have alot their in terms of either plot or story to cover that large amount of running time and as such we spend alot of time with the characters just doing nothing or just going about their day to day lives which is fine for a scene or two but we get more then handful of scenes that are like that and it gets very boring very quickly and this isn't helped by the fact that episode does have some fairly bad pacing to it.

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 really bad. As you couldn't really see alot of it due to the fact that there was a cut every couple of seconds which made this episodes big action set piece near unwatchable at best and just flat out bad at it's absolutely worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this wasn't a bad way to introduce the world to new a Doctor but this episode does get a little bit to ridiculous which is something that I can see putting of people of but this is still a rather enjoyable episode 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 means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for 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 IMP Awards . Com , the official Doctor Who 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The My Adventures With Superman TV Series

 

After two long years of waiting the newest solo animated Superman TV show is now finally with us well I have some thought about it. This is a show that alot of people were somewhat excited for back when it was first announced all the way back in 2021 however we then heard nothing for two years and then suddenly we got a trailer and well the show is now finally here with it's first episodes having just been released and so then join me as I give you my first impressions that really is airing on the really wrong network with the show in question being called simply just "My Adventures With Superman" enjoy.

The pot of these first two episodes is when a bunch of robots go missing it's up to interns Lois Lane , Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen to convince their boss Perry White to break the story. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually 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 not all that bad with the overall plot being rather fun and as well as being really entertaining and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes are Jack Quaid as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman and Alice Lee as Lois Lane. Also starring in these first two episodes is Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy Olsen , Darrell Brown as Perry White[ , Chris Parnell as Slade Wilson / Deathstroke , Reid Scott as Jonathan Kent , Kari Wahlgren as Martha Kent and Young Clark Kent , Zehra Fazal as Leslie Willis / Livewire and Jason Marnocha as Jor-El.

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 alot better then what I thought that it would be. As K really haven't seen any of this shows cast apart from one or two cast members and so I ad no idea what to expect from this show acting wise and so I was shocked to see some pretty good acting in these first two episodes.

Doing the animation for this show and these episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio Mir. 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 pretty good for the most part as the animation does seem rather choppy in certain parts of episode one which really does bring down the overall quality of the animation that we got in these first two episodes.

What was truly shocking to me was the fact that this show is the first solo Superman animated series since Superman: The Animated Series. Which is odd because Batman gets one every couple of years and is due to get another one at some point this year which makes me wonder why Superman hasn't gotten more animated solo shows as if you give him the right creative team you can tell alot of really great stories with this character and yet due to DC not giving him a solo animated series for twenty years just shows that they really don't know what to do with this really truly iconic character animation wise.

As you can no doubt work out from the above pictures this show foes have a very heavily influence from anime. Which given that this show is being animated by Studio Mir isn't that surprising and you can tell right from the first scene of episode one that this show is rooted deep with anime influences from the animation style all the way to something that happens in episode two which is very quite clearly inspired by various magical girl anime and heck the characters even have huge eyes just like characters do in various anime shows and movies.

I'm not going to lie and say that these first two episodes are perfect because there not as the first episode in particular feels alot ore like a Lois Lane show that it does a Superman show. Which was something that I didn't like as it made Superman feel alot more like a side character in his own show and heck even the fact that this is on Adult Swim is an issue as there's no reason as to why this show should be on a network that was created exclusively for adults and they even somewhat butchered Superman's origin and I say somewhat because they don't really get into that much backstory and so they could fix those issues later on.

Now then both of these episode has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then twenty two minuets. Which is a great running time for both of these episode to have altho I would have preferred it if this was released as an hour long special episode as that would have allowed the show to have one plot line running through both episodes instead of having two episodes that are very weakly linked together and with that extra running time both Lois and Jimmy would able to be fully developed more as characters as in these first two episodes they aren't really given much screen time to be fully fleshed out but I will very gladly admit tho that both of thee episodes do have some really good pacing to both of them tho.

So now then as 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 pretty average. As there's nothing that really makes the action in these first two episodes really stand out and as such the action in these first two episodes while impressive to look at is still pretty boring and really pretty lifeless in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this doesn't like that bad of a show does it deserve all of the praise that it's currently getting online no but it also doesn't deserve all of the hate that it's getting online either 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 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 online 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 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 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 on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge "Aunt Sally" Review

 

I think that i've made my love of Worzel Gummidge quite clear at this point so much so that I actively look forward to talking about the show. Even tho i've made me hatred of a certain character being really over used in this show later season that wasn't always the case as for the shows first two series this character would only show up a few times per series and well this is the episode that introduces that character and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces an iconic Worzel Gummidge character with the episode being called simply just "Aunt Sally" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Worzel goes to the local village fair where he meets someone who he wants to be his intended. 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 as it was a rather simple plot which for is the type of plot that works best for this show as this show really is all about having simply plots for it's episoes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Joan Sims as Mrs. Bloomsbury-Barton. Also starring in this episode is Jeremy Austin as John Peters , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Laura Graham as Miss Lewisham , Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , Norman Mitchell as P.C. Parsons and Michael Ripper as Mr. Shepherd.

Now then inters 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's to be expected from this show has some really good acting within and alot of that comes down to the fact that this show is not only made up of some really good actors and actresses but also because of the fact that the scripts for this show are so good and so all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and good performances will come out of all of them very naturally.

As mentioned at the very start of the review this is the first episode to feature the Aunt Sally who in this episode I really did like quite alot. This was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case as due to the character being overused in the shows fourth and final series I grew to really hate her as alot of her stories all just ended the exact same way and so then to see an Aunt Sally story that not only doesn't end the same way that alot of her stories tend to end but to also see that Worzel isn't as loved up was really shocking. 

Again what was really surprising to me was the fact that the Aunt Sally that we got in this episode seemed alot more tamer then the one that we got in the rest of the show. Yes she is still cruel to Worzel but we also get a scene where she does seriously considering staying with Worzel and is something that we never got in the later episodes which is a shame because it shows that the character did start of from a place where she could learn from her past experiences and grow as a character but for some reason that's not the approach that the makers of the show chose to take this character in.

What really caught me of guard is that it's Jon who gives Worzel the idea to go to the fair in a disguise of sorts. This really did catch me of guard as for the last two episodes he's the one that's telling Sue that Worzel is trouble maker and heck he even as says as such at the end of the shows first episode and so to see him be the one that gives Worzel not only the idea but the means to go dressed in someone else's clothes just didn't gel with the character that we'd seen in the past two episodes which is a shame because it is nice to see him acting more like a friend to Worzel it just doesn't really seem in his character to do so.

There is one shot in this whole entire episode that I have no idea how they filmed it and that's the scene where we first see Aunt Sally go from her doll form to her human form. This is why I wish that they included a DVD commentary for this episode as it would hopefully have answered that question as the shot starts of with the doll version off Aunt Sally upside down and then when Worzel puts her the right way up she transforms into her human form now obviously your not going to have your actresses hanging upside down for any period of time which really does make me wonder how that shot was accomplished.

Now then I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes grand total running time even was but I do know that for a fact 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 to have and to this episodes credit it has more then enough there interms of both plot and story and as such this episode didn't really need to be that long and while I would have liked it if this episode was longer just so we could see more of Worzel and Aunt Sally together that would have thrown this episodes truly wonderful pacing of.

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 really good. With this episode having quite alot of some very genuine laugh out loud moments with all of this jokes landing and there being very few if any bad jokes in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode and heck this whole entire first series for that matter is a great example of what this show can be like when it at's it's best and the fact that Jon Pertwee's acting is so good in this episodes heartbreaking finale just goes to show you just how good of an actor he well and truly was 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 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 on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Bewitched: I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha Review

 

Supernatural comedies are a very rare thing to find indeed but in the sixties we had quite a few of them on TV. Well I thought that i'd take a look at the debut episode of what is perhaps the most well known supernatural comedy out there just because the show itself is very vastly approaching it's forty ninth birthday and so then join me as I review the episode that really did introduce the world to a really likable witch with the episode in question being called simply just "I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha" enjoy.

The plot of this episode while on his honeymoon regular human Darrin discovers that his new wife Samantha is hiding something from him. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this 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 as it was a rather simple plot that was very easy to follow along with as well as being both really engaging and very entertaing as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stephens and Dick York as Darrin Stephens. Also starring in this episode is Agnes Moorehead as Endora , Gene Blakely as Dave , Lindsay Workman as Doctor Koblin , Paul Barselow as Bartender Al , Nancy Kovack as Sheila Sommers , John Graham as Man Speaking With Samantha At The Dinner Table , Bryan O'Byrne as The Hotel Desk Clerk and José Ferrer as The Narrator.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about 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 alot better then what I thought that it would be. As the acting in alot of debut episodes usually isn't that good as the cast are still getting used to each other and are still trying to find their characters and as such to see good acting in this episode was really well and truly surprising to me.

Very sadly you can't watch this episode as it was originally intended to be seen as all of season 1 and season 2 were shot in black in white and have all since been colorized. I'm not against shows originally made in black and white being colorized but by doing that and not giving people the chance to see the episode as it was originally shot is were I take issue because it says that the black and white version of the episode should be lost to the sands of time and yet by turning these black and white episodes into color the show and the episode loses something that would have been present in the black and white version of the episode. 

What I really liked about this episode is just how likable Darrin and Samantha are which was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case. As this was the shows first episode it would have been understandable to make one of the two characters fairly unlikable to begin with but it seems that the hows writer and creator Sol Saks understood that you need to make these characters actually likable characters if you really want us the audience to spend twenty plus minuets watching them in this very episode.

In a rather understandable move I didn't really buy into the romance between Darrin and Samantha which would usually be a bad thing. However in this case it is slightly understandable as the episode isn't that long and so they really can't afford to spend alot of time in setting up their romance and making it believable especially as this is the first episode of a TV show and so they have over twenty plus episodes in this shows first season to make their relationship and marriage seem fully believable and while that is something that should have been done in this episode given this episodes shorter running time and the nature of sitcoms in general it's fully understandable as to why they didn't do it in this first episode of the show. 

I don't know why they ran with a someone tries to break up their marriage plot line for the shows first  episode. As that type of plot line would be much more better served for being a later episode in this shows run as here we don't really know these characters and so putting them in that kind of a situation just won't work as we're not really given a reason to want to see these characters succeed and while this episode does give us a good villain in Sheila Sommers we don't really get to find out why she's trying to break up their marriage which is a shame because she is a rather fun and often times funny character in this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and fifty one seconds. Which for this episode is a pretty solid running time bearing in mind that this is the first episode of a TV show and some things like character personalities don't have to be laid out in the first episode as they have well over twenty plus episodes in this shows first season to get the characters personalities across to the viewers and this episode really is helped by the fact that it has some really god pacing to it as well.

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 really good. While this episode does have some pretty bad jokes in it those are very few and far between with the episode featuring more good jokes then bad jokes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a rather solid to what be a truly iconic sitcom that is still being referenced as 2021 thanks tom Wandavision which just goes to show you just how good this episode was and how good this show was 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 really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 .
