iCarly Ramble: iBloop vs. iBloop 2 vs. Blooptorious

Time for another topic discussion! I know it discusses both iCarly and Victorious, but since it goes over more episodes of iCarly than the latter, it’ll be considered an iCarly ramble. The topic this week: rating all three blooper episodes of the two series.

The one that seemed the most enjoyable was the first one, iBloop of iCarly. The reason: it did not have Rex in it. See, the problem with iBloop 2 and Blooptorious is that they were both hosted by an annoying, subject-changing, rude puppet (yeah I said puppet) that did not know the first thing about being a host. It kept interrupting the actors and actresses, changing the subject, and, worst of all, drove out Boogie (T-Bo’s actor) before they could even show his bloopers! What the hay? Also, I’m not sure if it’s just me, but iBloop 1’s bloopers seemed funnier and also included stunts, things that did not go the way they were supposed to, and the actors just plain goofing off. In a word, the first one was just entertaining!

I’m not saying the other two episodes were complete rubbish. At least they included commentary from the main actors and a little of their history. Nevertheless, and you can agree or disagree with me as you please, the first one still remains superior to the other two.

That’s it for this discussion. Until next time, keep enjoying your summer!

iCarly Ramble: Good vs. Evil

Firstly, I feel that this week’s newest episodes of Adventure Time and Regular Show were not worthy enough to be reviewed by me. (hopefully tomorrow’s will be better). I instead thought of a good idea; I will do a ramble about certain topics of certain shows. This way, I can not only discuss new shows, but old ones as well. My first one will have to do with iCarly and the struggle between good and evil characters in the show.

This topic does not only apply to iCarly, but to many other shows as well. Have you noticed that in a vast majority of the episodes, the “evil” character Sam tends to have a more positive outcome at the end of the episode and the “good” character Freddie tends to have a negative outcome? Take the episode “iMust Have Locker 239” for example. At the end of the episode, Sam takes 200 dollars from Freddie, destroys his much coveted locker (her mom does anyway), and for the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae thats already melted, he is caught by Mr. Howard after Sam has already left the scene. He most likely gets either detention or suspension for something that was clearly not his fault.

Another example: “iDate a Bad Boy”. Sam promises that if Freddie creates her a website, she will reward him with half the money she makes off of the site. She continually forces him to make changes to the website, which he does. After a while, he grows tired of these constant changes and he rips up the contract of their shared money agreement. Sam sells the website and does not give Freddie half of the money ($1000) he without a doubt deserved simply because he ripped up the contract. Again, evil conquers good.

I am not sure if you are fine with evil always winning in TV shows like this, but I am not a fan of it happening repeatedly. Like I said, it happens in many TV shows. Perhaps it has been a tradition since television shows came into being, but it would be nice to have the good side win once in a while, which it does. Maybe there is yet hope for the good characters in popular shows. I will go over more examples in other TV shows and also discuss many other interesting topics that can be found from analyzing them. Until then, thanks for reading!

Victorious: The Blonde Squad Review

Courtesy of Victorious Wiki.

For the first time, I will review an episode of Victorious. This week’s new episode was titled  “The Blonde Squad”.

This was a pretty decent episode with a relatively creative plot, creative dialogue and no Rex. YAY!!! The only thing I found predictable was when Andre found Sinjin (what kind of name is that anyway?) eating bird seed instead of the bird. The ending definitely threw me for a loop. I did not see coming that Evan would have just walked away like that. I was glad that Robbie was nice enough  to sing her that song, but of course she pretty much ignored it (WHY?!). The rest of the episode followed the usual pattern of a Victorious episode, which is good.

So that wraps up this review. Thanks for reading!

A Quick Announcement

First, I want to apologize for the really long drought without posts. I was on a vacation with my dad and could not view the latest episodes of the shows I wanted to review. I have now seen them both and I can say that I was so indifferent about “Gotcha” and “Trucker Hall of Fame” from Adventure Time and Regular Show, respectively, that I have decided to not review either of them. I feel they would have essentially been repeats of the previous week’s posts. I will get to this week’s newest episodes soon, and may even throw in the week’s newest episode of Victorious. 

So again, I apologize for the delay. Have a great and safe Fourth of July!
