My First Impressions Of The Goosebumps 2023 TV Series

 

We are now officially living in an age where everything that could be getting rebooted is getting rebooted and heck we just had a new reboot in the Frasier revival series debut as of this writing just yesterday. Well now we have yet another reboot of a classic piece of media hit our computer screen right in time for the spooky season this one coming from the house of mouse itself and Sony Pictures and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that needn't warn us that we're in for a scare with the show in question being called simply just "Goosebumps" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when supernatural things start to happen in a local town that threatens to reveal it's dark secrets a group of teens have to band together and save the town 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 these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that'd actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the plot that we get in the first two episodes of the show that I watched being ding a good job of setting up the plot for the rest of the show as well as being really fairy entertaining and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first twp episodes is Zack Morris as Isaiah Howard , Isa Briones as Margot Stokes and Miles McKenna as James. Also starring in these first episodes is Ana Yi Puig as Isabella Chen Lopez , Will Price as Lucas Parker , Rachael Harris as Nora Parker , Justin Long as Nathan Bratt , Rob Huebel as Colin Stokes , Leonard Roberts as Ben Howard , Ian Ho as Alan Chen Lopez , Ben Cockell as Harold Biddle , Rhinnan Payne as Allison , Francoise Yip as Victoria Chen Lopez and Laura Mennell as Eliza.

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 shows cast turning in some good performances which does make alot of sense as this shows co-creator Rob Letterman really does know how to director his actors and how to get good performances out of his cast and what helps the actors is the fact that the scripts for the first two episodes are really good and so all the cast have to do is just the words as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally. 

Doing the CGI for these episode and hopefully this series is the really very little known studio Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that''s actually featured / presented to s 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 not that bad. However that's also the issue as the GI in these first two episodes wasn't all that good either with the CGI just looking very cheaply made at best and not something that you'd expect or even want to see in an effects heavy show like this one is.

For some reason instead of taking inspiration from the 1995 Goosebumps TV series this show instead takes it's inspiration from the Goosebumps film. In that while the show does indeed feature individual plots it also has one over arching plot which is something that I didn't like as this is a series that works better when it's an anthology series and not one it's telling one over arching plot line which is a shame because seeing how they work together two of the Goosebumps books in these first two episodes is pretty interesting but then it gets dull again when the show gets back to it's main plot which is something that both of the films did as well with both films adapting certain monsters from the books which was exciting but then in the case of the second film it would get dull again when it got back to it's main plot.

For some strange reason Disney chose to release the first five episodes of this ten episode show all at the exact same time. Which to me just doesn't make sense as you could have released one episode per day in the build up to Halloween but because they wanted to have the show premiere on Friday the 13th and release the episodes weekly instead of daily it means that the show will miss Halloween by a long while which is a shame because a show like this one would make for perfect Halloween viewing for young kids and yet for some odd reason Disney chose not to go with the route that would have gotten them alot more traffic to Disney+ and instead chose a route that won't get them that much more traffic to Disney+ on Halloween at all.

Again in a strange move even this show is fully being produced by Sony it's releasing on Disney+ and Hulu. With Hulu airing the show as apart of their Halloween streams I have no idea why there are two big entertainment companies doing different things for this show especially as Disney right now or even back in 2021 when this show was being developed wasn't in the best of shapes which means that it makes no sense from Sony's point of view to working with Disney and it makes no sense from Disney's point of view to working with Sony as while yes Disney will see a slight spike in viewership on Disney+ there most likely not going to be seeing any money coming in from the show and Sony would still have the right to pull the show from Disney+ should things with Disney head south.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty seven minuets and nineteen seconds and episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and eight seconds. I really have no idea what to think of this running as while it does allow for the overall plot of the show to breathe more it's not really the kind of running time that works best for this show and heck even the original show only had running times this high on certain special episodes thus making them feel all the more special but I will admit that each episode of this new show does indeed have some really good pacing to them.

So now then as this is a horror show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in these first few episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in these first few episodes were in all honesty not really good. As outside of one scene near the end of episode one there was nothing that was all that scary in both of these episodes and while there is a scene near the end of episode that tries to scary that it just comes across as trying to hard in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this show trys to be scary but it just isn't that scary even taking into account that this is a kids horror show and while there are some good things to be found in these first two episodes those are very few and far between 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 episode airs or even 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 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 , the official Goosebumps 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 post being the wonderful the official Goosebumps fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and on the official Goosebumps fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Frasier 2023 TV Series

 

Every so often there comes along a sitcom that needs no introduction because everybody just already knows it's main character. Well the show that i'm going to be talking about today is one of those shows as it's a continuation show that uses the exact same name as the original show effectively making it the next season of the original show and so then join me as I give you SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that brought back tossed salads and scrambled eggs with the show in question being called simply just "Frasier" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is after leaving Chicago with his nephew David the duo find themselves in Boston where Frasier attempts to reconnect with his son and gets a new job. Now then interms of what I personally thought /felt about the actually plot that's actually featured / presented to,us in these very episodes well then n all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the first two episodes just basically setting up the rest of the show with the plot of these first two episodes also being rather enjoyable and fun to watch as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane and Only Fools & Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst as Alan Cornwall. Also starring in these first two episodes is Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frederick Crane , Anders Keith as David Crane , Jess Salgueiro as Eve , Toks Olagundoye as Olivia Kevin Daniels as Tiny , Danice Cabanela as Jenee Chao , Jimmy Dunn as Moose and Renee Pezzotta as Smokey.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these two 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 two episodes was in all honesty alot better then what I thought that it would be. As the acting in alot of sequel genuinely isn't that good and yet for some reason the acting that have here was really good and alot of that does come down to the fact that we have a bunch of really good and really funny actors and actresses and the fact that the scripts were also really good as well.

As this show does take place in a certain that just so happens to feature a certain bat it would be unrealistic not to expect that bar to get mentioned. With that mention being the only time that the bar does get mentioned and if i'm being honest that's all we really need as while the die hard fans will love the reference there will be alot more people who like me didn't know that Frasier was connected to another show in the first place and while it was nice to tip the hat to that bar and that show doing it to much might risk alienating new fans who might feel put off by the prospect of having to watch another long show just to understand one reference.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of tipping your hat to the past it would be unrealistic of anybody not to expect this show to make a reference to John Mahoney. However not only do the first episode of this new show feature a very touching tribute to the actor but it also makes his character Martin Crane the main character of the episode this was a great way to not only pay tribute to the actor but to also give fans of the original show some form of closure to the character and while his absence would have to be explained away at some point during the shows run the fact that they did it in the first episode in the opening scene and have it be a running theme throughout the first episode does show that is some kind of love ad respect their for the original show.

On the downside tho the episodes oddly makes the Alan Cornwall the butt of alot of the jokes in the first episode. Which doesn't really make the character seem like a likable person as we have alot of the shows cast just running him down which might be fine for a scene or two but when it's something that happens in both the first two episodes of the show then all it does is leave you wondering why we the audience should take the time to like this character and while yes you could argue that Only Fools & Horses did the exact same thing with Trigger i'd also like to point out that Only Fools & Horses also took the time to fully develop the character and show us other aspects to his character where as here in this show we haven't been shown any other aspects to the Alan Cornwall character. 

While the show rather obviously has no need to fully develop the Frasier Crane character thanks to not only the previous series but also Cheers. These episodes really did need to start to develop there new cast of characters and that's something that these episodes just don't with each of this shows new characters just being nothing more then one dimensional characters and when you take into account this show has a ten episode first season order you really do need to start to fully develop your newer characters alot more even more so when your expecting the older fans to accept them just as much as they do the older characters.

Now then both of these first two episodes has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly no longer then thirty minuets with episode one lasting twenty nine minuets and three seconds with episode two lasting twenty seven minuets and four seconds. Both of which are the perfect running time for their respective episode to have and i'm glad to see then the traditional half and hour sitcom is still a thing but at the same I would have liked it if episode two was a bit longer just so they could start to fully develop the newer characters alot more as this is something that episode one couldn't do as that episode had alot of things to set up and I will admit that both f these episodes have some really good pacing to them.

So now as this is a comedy that means tat I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episode was in all honesty really good. With both of these episodes having some really good jokes in them but what makes the comedy in these first two episodes work is the fact that both Kelsey Grammer and Nicholas Lyndhurst both of whom are old hats when it comes to TV sitcoms can still manage to get a laugh out of people and that really does help, make the jokes in both of these first two episodes work out really well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall while this sequel show does indeed have the right comedic talent infront of the camera to make it work I don't think it does behind the camera outside of returning director James Burrows that is 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 episode airs or even 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 lades and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Frasier 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.

Rambo: The Force Of Freedom "First Strike" Review

 

It was weirdly not an uncommon thing for popular live action properties in the nineteen eighties to get an animated TV series spin off. However what alot of things have in common is the fact that the original property was wither made for kids or made for the whole family but for some weird reason it become oddly popular to make a kids cartoon series based of off mature rated films as is the case with what i'm going to be talking about today and so then join me as I review of the first episode of a show that even franchise star Sylvester Stallone didn't like with the episode in question being called simply just "First Strike" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is that when an evil general tries to invade a peace loving country it's really up John Rambo and his team to get the general out of their and really put a stop to the invasion for good. 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 al 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 the plot being alot better then what I thought that it would be with this episodes plot also being rather really enjoyable and fun in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Neil Ross as John Rambo Michael Ansara as General Warhawk and The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air and Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles star star James Avery as Edward "Turbo" Hayes. Also starring in this episode is Transformers legend Peter Cullen as Sergeant Havoc , Don LaFontaine as This Shows Narrator , Mona Marshall as Katherine Anne "K.A.T." Taylor , He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe star Alan Oppenheimer as Colonel Samuel "Sam" Trautman and Scrappy-Doo actor Lennie Weinrib as Gripper.

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 not that bad. With the acting in this episode being exactly what I thought that it was going to be and that was nothing more then just OK with this episode featuring alot of really good actors ad actresses all of of whom are trying to make this idea and this script work for them but the issue is is that the idea is so dumb and the script is so bad that they just can''t turn in that good of a performance as the script just won't allow for it.

Doing the animation for this show and i'm guessing this episode is Daewon Media and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Toei Animation. 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 alot better then what it really had any right as while the animation in this episode doesn't hold up all that well given just how lazy that they really could have been the fact that the we got animation has alot of really creative camera angles and is really impressive is quite an impressive feat none the less.

For some strange reason Hollywood thought that it was a really good idea turning the R rated First Blood movie into a kids cartoon. Which means that the more mature elements of both the film it's first sequel and the book that both the film and the sequel are based of off don't get included in this episode which means that you really could have named this show anything else and you'd have to change nothing as there's really nothing that resembles Rambo in this episode hell with this show really kicking of the trend of turning R rated movies into child friendly kids animated TV shows i'm surprised that they didn't try to turn Die Hard into a kids animated TV show.

If your like me and you didn't even know that this show was even a thing this is a show that aired in syndication. With the show starting with a five part mini-series which sired daily from April 14th to April 18th 1986 and the shows full length series airing from September 15th 1986 and airing daily until December 18th 1986 why the makers of this show chose to air this show daily is beyond me as this show apart from the mini-series is very episodic and so they really could have aired this show weekly which would have given the show more of a chance to find an audience but as it is the show pretty much got alot of hate from the people making the show as they were concerned about making an R rated movie into a kids cartoon series and even the star of the franchise Sylvester Stallone was reportedly really annoyed and really embarrassed that the Rambo character was used as a cartoon character.

What I really didn't like abut this episode was the fact that they made Rambo out to be this unstoppable action hero and yet none of the main heroes got alot, of screen time. This would be fine if this was a Rambo solo show but it's not it's meant to be Rambo as part of a team and so the team needs to be fully  developed and yet they don't do that which means that the rest of the team just come across as being rather bland and one dimensional with the same thing also being true for Rambo himself who is given one personality trait of none stop action hero and that's it and that's not enough to make him an interesting character and it doesn't make his team interesting characters either it makes them all really bland and boring characters and really nothing more then that.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and thirty eight seconds. Which was a really good running time to give this episode as this episode is mostly just about setting up the plot of the mini-series but at the same time I would have liked it if the episode was a bit longer just so some of the other main characters could get some development which would have helped the show out in the long as it would have gave us more characters t care about then just Rambo and it would have given the show makers a chance to gave Rambo more of a personality as well instead of just rushing from plot to plot point and I will admit that this episode does have some fairly good pacing to i tho.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk abut 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 actual;y featured /presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the action in this episode being the best part of the episode as it was where the episode got the most fun ad got the most crazy but at the same time as the plot of the episode was so thin it meant that I just didn't care about the action in the episode despite the action in this episode being really good and really impressive to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while the idea of turning an R rated movie franchise into a kids animated TV series will always confuse me this was a really fun episode that was just a joy to watch 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 earns itself a rand 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 ad 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 Legends Of The Multi-Verse 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 as since all of the images that are all currently up and of course featured / presented to us on the great Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Beetlejuice "The Big Face Off" And "Skeletons In The Closet" Review

 

The spooky season is upon us and well with there soon to be alot of ghouls and ghosts running around I thought that i'd remind you all of someone who is qualified to handle them all. As it's been a while since I last talked about an episode of this show I thought that now was the right time to delve back into the madness that is this show as it really is just an insane show that for strange reason had a bunch of eleven minuet episodes mixed in with a bunch of twenty two minuet episodes and so the join me as I review the episodes that really do need to be seen to be believed with the episodes in question being called simply just "The Big Face Off" and "Skeletons In The Closet" enjoy.

The plot of "The Big Face Off" is Lydia and Beetlejuice enter a scaring competition and attempt to win the show whilst the plot of "Skeletons In The Closet" is both Beetlejuice and Lydia have to stop of of Beetlejuice's skeletons from telling people how he really feels about them. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty OK for the most part as the plot of "Skeletons In The Closet" was very heavy handed in it's message and the plot of "The Big Face Off" was really entertaining but was also rather lackluster as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is Stephen Ouimette as Beetlejuice , Alyson Court as Lydia Deetz and Roger Dunn as Charles Deetz. Also starring in these episodes is Susan Roman as Percy and Poopsie , Elizabeth Hanna as Delia Deetz , Len Carlson as Barf Biffman and The Monster Across the Street , Charles Kerr as Jacques LaLean , Tabitha St. Germain as Ginger , voice acting legend Tara Strong as Additional Voices , Colin Fox as Additional Voices , Keith Hampshire as Additional Voices , Dan Hennessey as Additional Voices , Ray Landry as Additional Voices , Ron Rubin as Additional Voices and Joseph Sherman as Additional Voices.

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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With alot of the cast members in these episodes turning some really good performances which really isn't shocking given who is starring in these episodes as alot of the cast members that are in these very episodes either are or really would go on to become some really good and even legendary voice actors and would therefor know how to turn in a good performance in both of this shows two segments.

Doing the animation for these episodes is Shanghai Animation Film Studio , Shanghai Morning Sun Animation and Wang Film Productions Company. Now 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 not that bad with the animation in not only these episodes but the show as a whole being really creative and genuinely really impressive to look at as well. 

For some reason the makers of this show chose to include several half episodes inbetween dozens of full length episodes. Which to me makes no sense as having half episodes really wasn't a thing when this show was being made and it's more of thing that that only became popular around thirteen years ago plus it means that episodes in this show as in the case for "The Big Face Off" can't be fully developed as they have to rush along to the next plot point instead of just fully developing the story and giving the story alot room to breathe which is a shame as "The Big Face Off" is a really fun episode if only it wasn't rushed due to being a half episode which is something that really did harm the first segment.

Out of the two segments I enjoyed "The Big Face Off" alot more then "Skeletons In The Closet" as "The Big Face Off" was the more creative episode. However at the same time I liked "Skeletons In The Closet" as well as that episode could at times get really creative and was a really fun episode and the idea of literally having skeletons in your closet was a really fun and creative idea if only the segment wasn't so heavy handed with it's message of lying is bad with that heavy handed message really bringing down my overall enjoyment of the episode whereas the previous segment was just a fun little segment that wasn't afraid to just be fun and at times really funny as well.

What really bugged me about the second is that while it does rightfully make lying out to be a bad thing. They ignore the fact that one of Beetlejuice's lies was to protect the feelings of one of his friends and the episode never addresses that aspect of the episode which is a shame because it would have brought up a very good point in that while yes lying is mostly a very bad thing to do there are however times where you have to lie be it in order to protect someone's feelings or when your keeping a secret for a friend both of which are things that the segment could have addressed but they instead chose not to in order to make things more simpler for the shows child audience.

Now then segment one of this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twelve minuets and six seconds whereas segment two of this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twelve minuets and five seconds. With the shows second segment having the better running time as that storyline really didn't have enough plot to cover anything longer then that but with the shows first segment you could have stretched that out to a full twenty two minuet episodes which in the end would have helped the segment out in the long run as it would have allowed the segment to breath but I will admit that both of this episodes segments really do have some really good pacing to them.

So now then as this is 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 / resented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With both episodes having some funny jokes in them but I will admit that out of the two segments it was the first segment that was more funny just because the plot and set up for that segment allowed for there to be alot more really funny jokes and that did make the segment all the more funnier because of it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall these were a pair of really good segments even tho the second segment did have a really heavy handed message in it it was still a really enjoyable segment that was really fun to see for the most part 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 review and as such that really does mean that these very episodes really do earn themselves a grand total combined 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 the official Beetlejuice 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 official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being really very fairly freaking high in definition.

Thunderbirds 1965 TV Series "Pit Of Peril" Review

 

Thunderbirds is to date the TV show that I can think of that has fans not only from it's original 1965 run but also from it's repeat viewings in the nineteen nineties and it's not hard to see why. As this show has action , suspense , romance and comedy all packed into a single episode of the show and well with the show fastly approaching it's sixtieth anniversary I thought that i'd take a look at an episode of the show and so then join me as I review the episode that is really a huge let down when compared to the shows first episode with the episode in question being called simply just "Pit Of Peril" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is during a military exhibition a machine carrying three men falls down a hole with the hole getting by the second and the crew almost out of air it's up to International Rescue to rescue them and safe the day. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented t 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 but that's also the issue as this episodes plot wasn't that good either while it was a very entertaining plot t just wasn't as gripping as the plot to the first episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Starring in this episode is Peter Dyneley as Jeff Tracy and Lieutenant Ralph , James Bond star Shane Rimmer as Scott Tracy and Johnny and David Holliday as Virgil Tracy. Also starring in this episode is British voice acting great David Graham as Brains , General Peters , Sergeant Reynolds and Frank , Ray Barrett as John Tracy , Lieutenant Mead and Colonel Sweeney and Matt Zimmerman as A Helicopter Pilot and Charlie.

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 the actors turning in some really good performances which for this show isn't all that shocking as this show from what I can remember anyway has always had some really good acting in it and what helps that cast out here is the fact that the script for this episode is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally. 

This show features the debut of the fan favorite machine The Mole which has the ability to dig underground. This is a machine that I really don't remember all that given that it can only be useful in one type of rescue mission which means that the machine doesn't get used all that much which is a shame because it does look really cool and it must have made an impact on some people as it played a key role in the terrible 2004 live action movie Thunderbirds if only it could do more things that just dig underground which would make it alot more useful for other type of rescue missions bug as it is it is a fairly solid machine.

This episode doesn't feature Alan , Gordon , Parker or any of the shows female cast of characters which does make sense. As they really wouldn't ave been able to do much in this episode give that the episode mostly takes place in the forest and so all they'd be doing is just appearing in what would basically be nothing more then cameo roles ad that is something that wouldn't do the characters any kind of justice and while I would have liked to have seen them in this episode i'd rather not have them in the episode then have them in the episode but in a cameo role as these characters are only suited for certain stories and this episode just wouldn't suit them.

What i'm surprised that they didn't do in this episode is go hard on an environmental message as that would have been very easy to do. As at the start of the episode the machine that needs rescuing is seen trampling through a forest and destroying tree's and so nobody would have blamed the makers of this show if they instead chose to go in really hard on an environmental message as that is something that they could have tought the shows kid audience but no instead the message was rather suitable an not really very heavy handed and that made it all the more impactful,then if it was a very heavy handed message. 

I'm just going to be real, this episode just didn't do it for me as it was a very boring with the titular rescue taking alot of time to really get going. This isn't helped by the fact that the episode is just downright boring with the episode lacking any of the thrills that you'd expect from this show which is understandable as every single show out there is going to have bad episodes in it but at the same time each episode of this show is basically a mini movie and in the case of this episode the story just isn't there to make to feel like a movie and there's no thrills or tension and so there's really no reason for anyone to watch this episode as all it would do is leave you feeling bored quite alot of the time when you should be on the edge of your seat with excitement.

Now then this episode has /had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty minuets and forty seconds. Which for this story isn't the right amount of time for this episode to have as there's not really enough story there to cover that large amount of running time even with the episodes first twenty or so minuets which was added to every episode to pa the episodes out to fifty minuets and even with that padding there the episode still just doesn't have alot of story to cover that really large amount with those first twenty minuets feeling like just that padding as apart from showing how it is that the machine in question fell into the pit nothing within those first twenty minuets plays into the rest of the episode but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it 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 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 episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episodes action being for the most part very entertaining but again t's a huge step down form the heart pounding action that we got n the shows first episodes and alot of that comes down to the fact that the machine that's being rescued is this big lumbering thing and that doesn't really lend itself to exciting action packed sequences in my freaking opinions anyway / at least.

Overall while this was a hugely entertaining episode it's an episode that could have been so much better then what we ultimately ended up with with the episode just being a step down interms of quality from the shows first 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 this very episode earns 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 personally used in his very review from the official Thunderbirds 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 really wonderful the official Thunderbirds fandom wiki page as since all of the images that are currently up and featured to us up and on the really great and really wonderful on the official Thunderbirds fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being all really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Addams Family "The Addams Family Tree" Review

 

It's been a good while since I last talked about anything to do with the live action Addams Family with me last talking about anything do with their live action being a full on series review of Wednesday. Well I thought that i'd end that right now by watching an episode of the classic series and reviewing for you all and so then join me as I review the episode that proves that spider's don't always make the best birthday presents with the episode in question being called simply just "The Addams Family Tree" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is after Wednesday and Pugsley get involved in a fight with neighbors kid the Addams clan set out to discover their own family tree. 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 altho I will admit that this episodes plot wasn't that strong of a plot this is despite it really being a very strong idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is John Astin as Gomez Addams , the late Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams and the late Ken Weatherwax as Pugsley Addams. Also starring in this episode is the late Lisa Loring as Wednesday Addams , the late Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester , the late Ted Cassidy as Lurch , the late Frank Nelson as Cecil B. Pomeroy , Kim Tyler as Harold Pomeroy and Jonathan Hole as Professor Simms.

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 really isn't all that surprising as the acting in the episodes of this show that i've seen have always had good acting in them and as such it only makes sense that this episode would also have some really good acting in it as well with thew acting really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good and so all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

The show never shied away from mentioning other dead family members but this episode straight up shows us one. Which even for this family is oddly dark and yet because it's The Addams Family it's something that oddly works and because of that you can believe that this family would have a dead family member stuffed it's also something that makes me wonder if they have other family members hung up in their house as they mention having quite alot of family members and so it only stands to reason that they would have at least a few of them hung up somewhere in their mansion be they dead or alive.

This episode also straight up makes Fester out to be someone who is willing to commit and unforgivable crime. Granted he would only be doing it to project the honor of his family and he does get talked out of it but the fact that he was even willing to do it in the first place makes what was once a very childlike character seem like someone who has alot more of an edge to them buy I do like the fact that they whole family is willing to defend their family name in various as it just goes to show you that The Addams Family are a tight-nit family unit and i'd even go as far as to say that The Addams Family is the perfect fictional family unit as well.

I didn't like the fact that we didn't get to see Wednesday and Pugsley at the kids birthday party as the amount of jokes that they could have gotten from that one setting alone would make the whole episode really worthwhile. Granted alot of it would just be the same joke but what would make it funny is seeing how these people who we are told re "normal" and seeing how they would react when these creepy and cooky start acting how they normally would and seeing the "normal" trying to save face and yet also acting weirded out would really just make the whole thing not only worth while but also really funny as well.

There was no really resolution to the story here which I found to be rather odd as this show does usually resolve it's storylines. Yes they do say that the The Addams Family is a great family but we don't really get to see anything of The Addams Family family tree with Thing scaring of the person who was putting their family tree together at the end of the episode  which is a shame as finding out what their family tree is could have been really fun an yet the episode just doesn't give us any kind of resolution to that part of the story at all instead leaving it rather open ended which is something that this show never really does.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and thirty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show but at the same time tho this episode really doesn't have enough there interms of plot to cover that amount of running time and so we get alot of scenes that go nowhere and add nothing to the overall plot of the episode even the party that the kids attend doesn't add to the actual plot of the episode and is something that could have been removed from the plot of the episode but I will admit that this episode really 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. However that's also the issue as this episode wasn't all that funny either which does make sense as you can't expect a comedy to have funny episodes every single episode and while there are some funny moments in this episode there are alot more unfunny moment in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode while not that funny does have a good idea behind that more then makes up for the lack of actually really painfully funny jokes that are in this 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 review and as such that means 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 the official The Addams Family 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 really wonderful the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page as since all of the images that are currently up and featured / presented to us up and on the really great and really and really truly wonderful on the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being all really fairly freaking high in definition.

Sailor Moon 1994 TV Pilot Review

 

For every pilot episode that does somehow manage to spawn a future TV series there are dozens that don't. With even more failing to even make it to air in the first place as is the case with the pilot that i'm about to review for you all today heck for many decades this pilot was even thought to be lost forever and nothing more then a myth that was until 2022 when Youtuber Ray Mona did a two part video just about the pilot and shockingly actually got permission to upload the full pilot of this truly weird show and so then join me as I review the pilot episode of a show that thankfully never even made it to series with the show in question being called simply just "Sailor Moon" enjoy.

I really do wish that I could tell you what the actual plot of this pilot episode even was but the pilot itself has no plot to speak off. I'm not kidding either when I say that as during the whole ten minuets that this pilot lasts there's nothing regarding an actual story sure there's something about a school dance but that gets dropped pretty quickly for the girls to be able to fly off into space to defend Jupiter for no reason and this is the first of the pilots many problems as it has no plot to speak and so the pilot is robbed of a reason for exiting in my freaking opinions anyways / at lesst. 

Starring in this episode is Stephanie Dicker as Victoria / Sailor Moon and Melinda "Mindy" Cowan as Sailor Mercury. Also starring in this episode is Danny "Dani" DeLacey as Sailor Mars , Tami-Adrian George as Sailor Jupiter , She-Ra: Princess Of Power star Melendy Britt as The Voice Of Luna , Batman: The Animated Series star Adrienne Barbeau as Queen Serenity and Queen Beryl and Patricia Alice Albrecht as The Narrator.

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 pretty OK at best. As the acting in the live action segments was on par with the acting in Power Rangers and the acting that we got in the animated segments was really alot better then what it really had any right to be but it doesn't help that this episodes script was just flat out bad with one of the characters having alot of personality to begin with.

Doing the animation as far as I can tell is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Toonmakers. 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 not that bad with this episodes animation being very choppy in alot of places which just makes the whole animated part of the episode come across as being really rather cheap looking.

Saban and those involved with making this show chose to go the Power Rangers route when it came to adapting Sailor Moon. Except instead of filming new American live action footage and dub over live action action scenes they instead chose to make this show an animation and live action hybrid show with the scenes in earth being done in love action and all of the scenes in spaces and the episodes action scenes being done in animation which is just very jarring and really isn't the right approach to take with Sailor Moon granted the Power Rangers approach wouldn't work with Sailor Moon anyway in which case they should have either chosen to just do it in fully live action or to just it in animation but not both.

The Power Rangers approach to making a show was a very common thing for Saban to do in the early nineties. With alot of their shows from Masked Rider to Beetleborgs all using that exact same approach however both of those shows are adapted from properties where that kind of approach is very doable this show however isn't as you can quite clearly see the heroes faces all the time and so it would be impossible for this kind of show making to work with Sailor Moon and where as Power Rangers fully embraced it's cheesiness this episode doesn't which oddly makes it more fun to watch as everything is being played straight and while Saban didn't work on this pilot it's not hard to see their influence all over this pilot episode. 

I have to give thanks for Youtuber Ray Mona for going to the lengths that she went to in order to find this lost piece of media. However not only did she find the episode itself which is still really commendable she also managed to find out who was in the episode with their still being some unknown names like for example we still don't know who played Prince Darian and Sailor Venus which means they could be some very well known actors and actresses and we wouldn't know and while I can see why they wouldn't want it known that they starred in this pilot as it is that bad it would still be pretty cool to have a complete cast list for this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly ten minuets and seventeen seconds. Which even for a pilot episode is still a really short amount of time and while i'm sure that this pilot would have expanded upon if the show went to series as it is all it does is leave us with a really rushed episode where things move at such a fast pace that it doesn't leave us long to get a good sense of who these characters are and what their personalities are both which are things that could have been fixed if the pilot was a standerd twenty two minuets long and I will say that this episode has some really bad pacing to it as well.

So now then as this is an action episode that means that I gave 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 this episodes action being the kind of action that you'd expect to see in a kid nineties animated kids TV show and really nothing more then that which does make the action look pretty dated but it also makes the action look really creative as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this show is so bad that it makes the Japanese live action Sailor Moon TV show look good by comparison and that show really isn't all that good either at all 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 1.5 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 Sailor Moon fandom wiki page , the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page , 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 really wonderful Google Images as since all of the images that are currently up and featured / presented to us up and on the really great and really wonderful on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being all really fairly freaking high in definition.
