The Simpsons: Lisa the Vegetarian (1995) Season 7, Episode 5

The beginning of where Lisa Simpson ruins everything

[6/10 · 30 May 2024]

This episode here is where Lisa Simpson starts to ruin everything for everyone. It all started where after she visits a petting zoo and gets attached to a little lamb, dinner comes and the family end up eating meat and Lisa finds herself unable to eat the lamb, but not only can she not eat lamb but everything that is made of meat. Then this is where she starts trying to force her beliefs onto everyone, during Homer's BBQ, she wants everyone to stop eating meat and tries to get people to eat cold tomato soup, to which they all laughed at her. Right when Homer brings out the pig, Lisa comes on a small mobile vehicle and drives the pig away, ruining the BBQ for Homer. After arguing with Homer, Lisa runs out and ends up eating a hot dog, but finds out that it is actually a tofu dog. Apt brings Lisa upstairs to meet Paul and Linda McCartney, who are also vegetarians. Apt teaches her that she can have her own views and let people have their own, which makes her make up with Homer.

People praise this one for the guest appearances of Paul and Linda McCartney, but it wasn't good for Lisa to begin wanting to ruin things for everyone after she started to not want to eat meat, yes there was a good lesson here, but it doesn't seem that she learned it for how she acts in future episodes after this one, from Maggie being smarter than her in "Smart and Smarter", Bart being a jazz drummer in "Jazzy and the Pussycats", to Bart also being a pro gamer who almost made a ton of money with his team in "E My Sports".

The Simpsons: How Lisa Got Her Marge Back (2016) Season 27, Episode 18

Not a bad episode for Lisa and Marge.

[9/10 · 30 May 2024]

Basically on these current Simpsons seasons Lisa is hated for knowing to ruin things the other members of the Simpsons family has, Marge also is another that does the same, but this one sees them both likeable and really goes through their bond as mother and daughter. Lisa gets upset at Marge for her pretending to enjoy and like her interest in Jazz music and takes off the pearls that she gave her, and even calling her "Marjorie". Homer doesn't seem to think that's a big deal since Bart sometimes calls him Homer instead of Dad. And speaking of Bart, he tries to do pranks as usual but he thinks they went stale, and surprisingly enough, bonding with Maggie helped him do pranks again, but after Homer thinks that he went far, he stopped using Maggie in his pranks. Back with Lisa and Marge, Marge tries to bring her bond back with Lisa by taking her to Capitol City and showing her a play, which she didn't like, but after hanging out with a celebrity she then realized that they both have different interests that they both don't agree with and they don't really have to like the same things. The celebrity was actually interested in her saxophone playing and she then bursted into a musical number. Marge and Lisa then enjoy a tour bus ride that didn't seem that great but they liked it anyways. Yeah there are many episodes that have Lisa and Marge being unlikable but this one isn't it, it was a good episode that goes through their bonds and with the lesson that everyone has interests but you still can be friends even with different likes and dislikes.

Bluey: Dunny (2020) Season 2, Episode 48

Not really the most exciting episode.

[2/10 · 5 May 2024]

Now I usually don't rate Bluey episodes this low but this one really isn't a great episode to me. Basically for the entire episode, Chili forbids the family on saying "Dunny" because it's a word the Queen wouldn't use. All the Heelers are doing this entire episode is staying in one room avoiding on saying Dunny (which isn't a bad word but another word for toilet) and trying to make Chili say it so they can say it too. Chili tries to make Bluey and Bingo not say the word by doing other things like playing "4 in the bed", but not even that can save this episode. Eventually Chili lifts the ban on the word Dunny and the family are happy that they can say it. Another episode that also wasn't that good to me is "Family Meeting", it may have a good message on telling the truth but it was focused too much on the subject of Bandit farting in Bluey's face.

Bluey: The Sign (2024) Season 3, Episode 49

A good long episode but with mixed feelings over the ending.

[7/10 · 4 May 2024]

This was a special episode of Bluey, which was 27 mins long instead of the usual short 7 mins. It dealt with several topics here, of moving and a wedding. Bluey was very upset about having to move and Bandit decided to do this move since he has a new job in the city, Chili wasn't excited for it but she felt like she didn't have a choice in the matter either. Rad and Frisky were also getting married, but after Rad announced that they're moving, Frisky calls the wedding off. Before that Bluey was too upset to do flower girl practice with Bingo, Muffin and Socks because of the house getting sold, Bingo doesn't mind (at first, until she finds out later what it means for a house to be sold). So Bluey, Bingo and Muffin try to pull out the sign and Frisky almost helped until she got the call. Chili then takes the girls and Bluey gets to experience the front seat of the car for the first time in a chase to find Frisky and to talk to her on still keeping the wedding. Funny antics ensue and the moment that Socks has to use the bathroom slowing down the chase, they finally catch up with Frisky and Chili attempts to talk to Frisky and to Bluey about everything, from getting the wedding back and about moving as well. The wedding is back on and Rad and Frisky are not moving and they had a dance party afterwards. The next day Chili reveals to Bingo about what happens when the house gets sold, which then leaves her devastated, trying to pull the sign out, and Bluey comforts her with the story Calypso told her. The dogs that were going to buy the house changed their minds and found the house they actually wanted with a pool, and Bandit changed his mind about selling the house which made the rest of the family happy.

Now the ending has definite mixed opinions here. First this was a good epiaode for its first long episode, and it was great to hear Socks fully talk, she really grew since season 1 had her like a normal dog until she started growing up and progressing in talking and walking on two legs as seasons went on, which is great development. Muffin had her silly antics too here. Calypso's message about good endings existing because there's so many bad ones was good as well as the message in "everything will work out the way it supposed to", which that got totally retconned with the ending though. Now what made people not like the ending much is that the Heelers didn't move with Bandit changing his mind. Many people like episodes of Bluey because of the themes that it covers and that how some can relate to them, but with the whole topic of moving it seemed to be unrealistic to some. Not everyone can just change their minds about a move like Bandit did. Especially with movers coming in and taking the furniture out of the Heelers' house with Bingo sadly reacting afer the news and what it meant for the house being sold and Bandit being excited about going to the city to a higher paying job. So the movers eventually came back with the rest of their stuff and Bandit declined the offer then? Again, the ending was questionable and not everyone can cancel a move and plans that they had with a move either. Yes the sheepdogs did cancel the offer but Bandit still could've made the move with the family despite that, there could've been another buyer. It also could've shown Bluey and Bingo slowly adjusting to their new house and area, and going to new schools and getting new friends. They still can go back and visit their old friends and relatives in their old area. They may grow to like it, and it will show that moving isn't all bad. If parents that are going through moving with their kids watched this episode you know some would wonder why they're still moving when Bluey's family aren't. So other than this ending it was good for a first long episode.

Bluey: The Show (2020) Season 2, Episode 19

Bingo and Bluey put on a Mother's Day show and a hidden reference to Chili's past before Bluey was born.

[9/10 · 5 April 2024]

After Bingo accidentally drops Chili's breakfast for Mother's Day, she gets upset and claims that she always ruins Mother's Day. Chili then tells her a "checklist" that she follows: "Have a cry, pick myself up, dust myself off, and keep going. The show must go on." That gives Bluey an idea with Bingo, to make a show for Chili. The show was about how Bandit and Chili met, but as it got to the part where Chili (played by Bingo) was pregnant, the balloon popped under Bingo's shirt, and Bandit and Chili held each other's hands. Now this has confirmed to be a reference to Chili having a miscarriage before Bluey's birth, others thought that Bandit and Chili were upset for Bingo and being ready for her reaction to the balloon popping. Bingo runs off and almost gives up until she repeats what Chili taught her with the "checklist", and the play continues, with Bandit hilariously playing the part of Bluey as a baby xD. This was a great, entertaining and a emotional episode, especially on how it went to reference Chili's past with her miscarriage, the creator did confirm that this was the case when Bandit and Chili held each other's hands and that it wasn't about Bingo messing up on the balloon popping part, although it could've been both, it was definitely a reference to the miscarriage.

Donkey Hodie (2021– )

Not really for everyone but it's good for what it is.

[9/10 · 25 February 2024]

Yeah I seen some of the low reviews for Donkey Hodie that are saying "how terrible it is" or "how it isn't educational". There are many other shows that are geared for kids that aren't educational. This however doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Another spin off of Mister Roger's Neighborhood next to Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, it takes place in a land called Someplace Else, featuring the main character of the same name, Donkey Hodie, and her friends Purple Panda, Bob Dog, Duck Duck, and many more. It covers many things that kids would enjoy with creative and imaginative ideas with situations that they can solve when faced with them. The scenery, songs, and the puppets are nice. Some people even consider this more than Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, but I like both the same. So while it may not be in everyone's tastes and may not be considered educational, it's still an enjoyable show for others.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series: Farewell, Nyahoja? (2024) Season 1, Episode 40

Nothing like "Pikachu's Goodbye" or "Farewell Raboot", but great episode for Liko and Sprigatito.

[10/10 · 17 February 2024]

Despite the title, "Farewell Sprigatito", it was nothing like Pikachu's Goodbye or Farewell Raboot. Unlike when Ash almost left Pikachu and Goh almost leaving Raboot, Liko didn't do the same to Sprigatito. Sprigatito herself was having thoughts of traveling with Liko as her partner after she accidentally hurt her with Leafage. During training against Roy and Fuecoco, when Sprigatito used Leafage, it accidentally hit Liko, shocked and upset, Sprigatito went off to a building that was a place for Cat Pokemon, which might've been her old home. Liko decided to go there and see if she can find her Sprigatito. She found the caretaker of the place and she kinda knew about Liko, I guess somehow her Sprigatito ended up being picked for a partner Pokemon at Liko's school. But before that, she had a backstory. Liko's Sprigatito used to hang out with other Sprigatitos. However, a Spidops attacked, with Liko's Sprigatito trying to help with her Leafage, but ended up accidentally hurting her friends, who then didn't accept her anymore, which is the reason why Sprigatito ran away. She thinks Liko would abandon her like her friends. Liko finds Sprigatito but she keeps trying to run away from her, even scratching her, but when she tries to scratch her again, but Liko explains that it's fine, and that she wouldn't mind if she got scratched again, and that it happened when they first met too. Liko tells Sprigatito about the many adventures they had together, and wants to have more with her. Sprigatito then taps Liko and they made up as friends again. Hatenna and Terapagos find Liko and Sprigatito, only to be caught by the same Spidops that caught her old friends. Sprigatito was hesitant at first but Liko assured her that it'll be fine, as Sprigatito was commanded to use Leafage, she learned Magical Leaf and saved Hatenna and Terapagos without hurting them. Liko was very proud of Sprigatito of how she overcame her fear of hurting her friends and that she saved them. She surprisingly also beat Roy's Fuecoco with Magical Leaf (which probably usually wouldn't overpower a Fire type but note that Ash's series had many things that don't happen in the games either). So yeah, despite being titled "Farewell Sprigatito", it wasn't like Pikachu's Goodbye or Farewell Raboot, but it definitely was a great episode of Pokemon Horizons, which built up the friendship of Liko and Sprigatito even more, and gave Liko's Sprigatito a very good backstory.

Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (2012– )

Great show for kids and grownups alike!

[10/10 · 17 February 2024]

Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is a spin off of Mister Roger's Neighborhood It covers the Land of Make Believe, where Daniel Tiger and his family and friends live. Like Mister Roger's Neighborhood, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood tells great lessons that kids can follow and relate to. The episodes which are 2 stories based on one topic, and sometimes a whole special episode (such as one covering Winter, Visiting a New Neighborhood, and even one that covered staying inside due to a pandemic like what everyone had to do during the COVID-19 pandemic). For example, there was one that covered being sick, first was when Daniel catches a cold and had to go home early from school, missing his friend Prince Wednesdays birthday party, with the other having Mom Tiger being sick. And usually with these topics, there's a song that goes with it, for the "Sick" episodes, it's "When you're sick, rest is best". Another set deals with learning about what you can learn about doing something new, there's actually 3 episodes and sets that does this one, from visiting the doctors for the first time, Visiting the dentist, and starting school for the first time, with the song "When we do something new, let's talk about what we'll do". Yeah there are also times where Daniel does get mad, upset, etc but it does get corrected and learns from it with songs such as not wanting to do something and to calm down, being frustrated, and calming down from feeling mad. It's such a good show for kids, and grownups, also grownups that grew up watching Mister Roger's Neighborhood, for it has a similar feel like that show, with very good lessons everyone can learn from.

Bluey: Hairdressers (2020) Season 2, Episode 5

Bingo finds her voice while Bluey learns to find her ears.

[9/10 · 17 January 2024]

In Dance Mode, everyone kept taking Bingo's Dance Modes and Bingo was unable to open up to say no, but here on Hairdressers, she learns to "find her voice" in order to speak about her ideas. Bluey also learns to "find her ears" and not just find them on her head xD, she had to actually listen and let Bingo open up to find her voice to talk about her ideas, even if it takes a while. Bluey and Bingo play Hairdressers and Bingo is having trouble letting out her ideas and Bluey tries to help her out by finishing for her. Chili thinks it is good that she's not talking over Bingo anymore but she needs to "find her ears". Bluey and Bingo spot nits on Bandit (who calls himself Bert Handsome) and they have to find ways to get rid of them. Bluey continues to finish Bingo's sentences until Bandit says he ran out of nits, making Bingo sad because she actually couldn't tell her ideas,until Bluey decides to let her finish after Chili asks Bandit to see if he had more bits. Bluey finds her ears and Bingo finds her voice, saying that she wants to tie Bandit upside down, cover him in "nit powder" (flour), throw water balloons at him and scratch him with rakes xD, and that apparently did the trick. Bingo now can tell Bluey her ideas since she found her voice and that Bluey found her ears.

Quite a funny episode and definitely good that Bingo opened up here and found her voice, unlike in Dance Mode where she just said yes for the family to keep taking her Dance Modes. People didn't like the idea of the "Bandit abuse" in the episode though and for Bingo to find her voice in wanting to do something to Bandit, however, he went along with it, it wasn't like he was forced to, plus he had fun with it, so it really wasn't bad. He does this a lot for his kids so it's not anything new or a bad thing if he enjoys it. But yeah it's a great and funny Bluey episode.

Bluey: Exercise (2023) Season 3, Episode 39

An episode that had few minutes cut due to controversy, but still has a good lesson.

[8/10 · 31 December 2023]

This was a good episode, whether cut or not. The reason for this cut was due to the controversy of possible "fat shaming". The cut beginning of the episode, which was a scene in the bathroom of Bandit and Chili upset with their results of their weight, with Bandit squeezing his stomach and saying "Oh man.." and He tells her that he needs to do some exercise, with Bluey asking him then "why don't you do some exercise then?", Bandit's answer was "You kids and work" and that he wants to make his boss happy. After all of that, and where the cut version begins, of Bandit in the backyard, ready to do some exercise. Bluey and Bingo play, with Bingo playing as a new employee for work and Bluey being the boss and showing her around while Bandit does exercise. He then gets a good result from his doctor at the end of the episode.

Now like I said, the bathroom scene was cut due to possible "fat shaming" and that some people thought the scene would give kids the wrong idea about their weight, and also claiming that it was saying that exercise was only about losing weight, and that it could've shown more that it's good for your health too and not show Bandit and Chili upset in the bathroom about their weight and Bandit squeezing his stomach. It really didn't seem like a big deal like everyone who complained made it out to be, and the episode as a whole, whether cut or not, shown the benefit of exercising how it's good for your health and can be fun too with others helping out, like how Bluey and Bingo's playing helped Bandit with his exercising and gave him a good report for his doctor at the end.

Bluey: Burger Shop (2020) Season 2, Episode 32

Bluey's fun game of Burger Shop.

[10/10 · 5 December 2023]

This episode of Bluey, "Burger Shop", deals with Chili trying to get Bluey and Bingo out of the bathtub while Bandit decides that he can let them make their own decisions, and that they can get out of the bathtub on their own, which turns out to not work as planned, for he gets roped into playing Burger Shop with them. Bluey makes Bandit all kinds of burgers, and when he runs out of money, she hilariously quickly becomes a bank teller to give him more money for burgers, which then leads him to doing work for them when he runs out of money (again), which has Bandit in the tub as well. It ended up with Bandit ready to pull the plug on the bathtub when Bluey announces to "open a taco shop". Bluey and Bingo are finally out of the bathroom and getting dried by Bandit,getting ready for bed. Bluey apologizes from not getting out of the bath when told and Bandit says that sometimes it's right to be "a meanie", and that listening to a book doesn't always work. This episode was funny with the antics of Bluey and Bingo making burgers, also Bandit: "Your lips are blue!" Bluey: "I'm a Blue Heeler!" was also a highlight and Bandit ends up saying that when Chili sees Bluey's lips being blue xD. This is another one of my favorite Bluey episodes.

Bluey: The Sleepover (2019) Season 1, Episode 39

A tired Muffin causes chaos for Bluey and Bingo's sleepover.

[8/10 · 5 December 2023]

This episode is well known for an overtired Muffin going wild during a Sleepover at Bluey's house. Bluey and Bingo are excited to be able to stay up late when Muffin comes over, however the plan has changed since she arrived overtired from skipping her sleep and that Stripe orders her to have a early bedtime, which makes Chili tell Bluey and Bingo that they also have to go to bed early, even though they were promised that they can stay up late. Bluey then purposely makes the game longer so that they still can stay up late. Muffin going wild makes the game difficult for Bluey and Bingo to play. Bluey then finally realizes (after several times of Chili telling her that Muffin should've been in bed) that Muffin needs to sleep, leads her into the bedroom, with a flamingo. Bluey was tired out, and Muffin wonders why she had a flamingo in her sleeping bag xD Now this I rated 8/10 due to how Chili and Stripe were. Stripe for bringing over Muffin when she skipped her sleep and Chili in promising Bluey and Bingo that they can stay up late only to tell them that they also have to go to bed early because of Muffin. Muffin should've either stayed home or just slept early while Bluey and Bingo stayed up late. Other than that, Muffin's antics and phrases ("I'm the flamingo queen!" "Coconuts have water in them!") were very hilarious to see and it was still a good episode.

Bluey: Granny Mobile (2022) Season 3, Episode 33

Muffin trumps over a grumpy pug with her own granny ego, Gladys!

[10/10 · 27 November 2023]

Muffin is known for having issues such as being a bit bratty and entitled in episodes like "Charades" and "Library", but here she was quite good at giving a grouchy granny pug her comeuppance in making her pay $1200 (and 14 lollies) for Doreen's old mobility scooter. Muffin wanted to join Bluey and Bingo in being grannies, and she got to be a grouchy granny. At first she didn't like the part in being a granny that was mean, but it worked out to help Doreen get her vacation money. The grouchy granny pug was mean, insulting Doreen's hat and even insulting Bandit on his weight. Muffin and the pug were going at it with the price haggling after the pug first wanted it for $100, Chili thought it was too low a price and Muffin refused to get off the scooter until she made the pug pay $1200 (and 14 lollies) after telling her to paint it when she said she didn't like the color xD It was thanks to Muffin that Doreen sold her old scooter and can go on vacation, and Muffin chose to have an old towel to become a Super Granny. One of Muffin's best episodes, another one that was good for Muffin is "Pizza Girls", which is another favorite episode of mine of Bluey.

Christmas in Conway (2013 TV Movie)

A very beautiful non traditional Christmas movie.

[10/10 · 27 November 2023]

This was such a beautiful Christmas movie that I seen on Pluto TV's Hallmark Movie Channel. It dealt with a husband caring for his sick wife and wanting to give her something special for Christmas before her time is up. He had help from his wife's young hospice care giver and her old students who her husband didn't care for at first because of what he done in the past. His plan for a gift was to get a ferris wheel built in his backyard to show his wife something special and to also remember her by. He surprisingly got the parts from a crazed hillbilly man after he seen the old tree he had in his truck. However, there was one obstacle: a nosey, snooty neighbor. She wanted to have the most creative decorations for the holiday contest and she attempted to get the cops to take the ferris wheel down, the student got hurt refusing to get off in the process but even so, the hillbilly guy and his workers fixed it up, but still the cops wanted to get them to take the ferris wheel down but they finally gave up, and so did the neighbor. The judges for the contest even left her place to see what the husband was doing next door, and they all were surprised. They seen a beautiful lovely display, and the husband surprised his wife and even took her on it, and everyone, even the nosey, snooty neighbor, were surprised and happy for them both. Again, this was a very beautiful movie, very different from your average traditional Christmas movie filled with Christmas carols, Santa, and whatnot, but a great one.

Saturday Night Fever (1977)

Very hard to watch, not a movie about good music and dancing.

[3/10 · 26 November 2023]

I heard so much about how good the dances were in this movie with John Travolta, and was willing to give this a shot, but unfortunately this is not really what this movie is about. I know this is supposed to be how it was like back then with realistic things and that it's not always going to be a lighthearted side of the world with flowers and rainbows, etc but the amount of swearing, suggestive themes and violence (including a rape scene) is very appalling. It's like after seeing these great dance scenes and music, it cuts down to people calling each other insulting names and swearing at each other, having sex in cars and explaining suggestively how they're enjoying it, or attacking one another. It's just disturbing and disgusting on how this movie is, not sure if the PG version is totally clean from this but unfortunately that version is hard to come by. The dancing and music of this movie is great but not the rest of it.

Bluey: Postman (2020) Season 2, Episode 36

Postman and Ground's Lava

[9/10 · 14 October 2023]

This episode was about Bluey being a postman wanting to settle a squabble between Bandit and Chili, believing that they're becoming enemies. She makes Bandit write Chili a letter that states that they aren't enemies, and he writes her a letter with a heart on it, saying that he loves her. However, Bluey has her own problem, apparently she promised Bingo to play Ground's Lava with her, but she then tells Bingo that she can't because she's playing Postman to deliver a letter to Chili, which upsets her. Bluey then agreed to play with her and they kinda end up squabbling themselves several times, but the very last time they ended up squabbling made them feel better since Bluey started to tell Bingo the reason she wasn't able to play Ground's Lava, to make sure Bandit and Chili don't become enemies forever. They then figured out how to get the letter to Chili and with a close call of the airplane letter landing by Wendy, it successfully makes it to Chili. This was a cute episode and shows that squabbling doesn't always mean that people hate one another, and that it sometimes is just a debate that needs solving.

Bluey: Kids (2019) Season 1, Episode 45

Bluey learns how it is to be a parent and that there are no favorites in kids.

[9/10 · 11 October 2023]

During a trip to the supermarket, Bluey plays a game of "Kids", she is Mrs. Heeler, Bandit is her son Dittums, and Bingo is Snowdrop. Bluey at first doesn't see that Snowdrop is the one misbehaving and causing trouble, and getting Dittums blamed for things that she did. She wrongly disciplines Dittums and says that Snowdrop is her favorite child. She puts him in timeout by rolls of toilet paper, until she spots that Snowdrop was acting out and that Dittums was not. Bluey apologizes to Dittums from not seeing that Snowdrop was the one misbehaving and that she said that she was her favorite. They then complete their shopping and not let Snowdrop get away with mischief, and Bluey says that both her kids are her favorites, meaning that there aren't any favorites in kids.

This may be an older episode than recent ones like "Mini Bluey", but "Mini Bluey" goes backwards with this lesson as I stated before on that review, even though Bluey was pretending to be a parent, she learned that there aren't any favorites in kids, compared to how Bandit and Chili acted towards Bluey in "Mini Bluey" about having Double Bingos, making it look like they were favoring Bingo over Bluey, which really isn't right. "Kids" was definitely the better episode than "Mini Bluey".

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury: Rock Out (2023) Season 1, Episode 5

A lost Zord and a hilarious distraction involving dressing up like monsters in a death metal band

[9/10 · 1 October 2023]

This was a entertaining episode of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. It involved Bajillia finding a lost Zord in a mining planet, and the Cosmic Fury team have to find a way to get it without Bajillia and the corrupted Ollie knowing. They end up making a plan of disguising as a monster death metal band, which was very hilarious when they started playing, monsters watching and all. I found that part very hilarious. Unfortunately, Ollie did find out that the Cosmic Fury team were there and that they were the disguised monsters, and the team end up fighting him but they successfully retrieved the Zord,and even ended up fighting in space. One of my favorite episodes here. It really was a entertaining episode.

Bluey: Mini Bluey (2021) Season 3, Episode 7

Not really good when you show favoritism over one child

[5/10 · 8 September 2023]

The episode "Mini Bluey", was about Bluey and Bingo not being alike, so Bluey decides to make Bingo similar to her, making her "Mini Bluey". Bluey isn't crazy about chores like Bingo, so Mini Bluey acts the same as her. Bandit didn't like that he has two that won't help with chores so he asks for "Double Bingos". Bingo makes Bluey into "Big Bingo", and with Bluey not liking chores, Bingo likes doing chores and being helpful, but when Bandit said, "he can get used to this", this upsets Bluey/Big Bingo. Even Chili kinda agreed about preferring two Bingos, which really isn't fair, and shows favoritism over one child. Bluey is sad because she thinks that her parents want two of Bingo and none of Bluey, and thinks it's because she's annoying. Bingo shows Bluey that she can also be annoying, so she puts on fake teeth with tape and scares Chili and Bandit which makes them want one Bluey and one Bingo, with Mini Bluey and Big Bingo appearing by them.

Yeah, the issue with this episode was how it shown favoritism over one child, "Kids" shown this also, but Bluey, even if she was pretending, learned that she can love both Snowdrop and Dittums, and that there are no favorites in kids. A shame that Bandit (and Chili at one point) would have a favorite in Bingo and not Bluey, which is definitely why many people don't like this episode.

The Simpsons: I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot (2004) Season 15, Episode 9

To me, Lisa's side story was better than Bart and Homer's story of the episode

[9/10 · 6 September 2023]

The main story dealt with Homer attempting to bond with Bart, that he even disguised as a robot for a battling robot event for Bart, but that too much reminded me of the South Park episode "AWESOME-O", where Cartman disguised as a robot for Butters, but he did that for a joke, not to bond with him like Bart and Homer. Now Lisa's side story I liked, and it was an emotional one, for it dealt with her losing her cat, Snowball II, who died. She tried to adopt many cats, but sadly they all had sad deaths, all, but one. Lisa almost gave up on finding another cat until Gil's car got wrecked instead of the cat being killed, she then considered it a "good luck kitty" and decided for it to be the new Snowball II, Principal Skinner walks by considering it a cheat to name it that, into which Lisa brought up "Principal Tamzarian" from the controversial episode "The Principal and the Pauper", which made him walk away. Because of that people don't consider this a canon episode, but I count it and liked it. I know how it is like to have a cat die since it happened a lot in my life, which is why I liked Lisa's side story more than the main Bart and Homer storyline.

Bluey: Library (2020) Season 2, Episode 30

Better outcome than "Charades" had with Muffin's behavior.

[8/10 · 1 September 2023]

Now at first I didn't like how Muffin acted in this episode, and didn't like how she was in "Charades", but for this episode, Stripe tells Muffin that she's "the most special kid in the world", which makes her think that she can do whatever she wants and not have to follow any rules. This made it hard for Bluey and Bingo to play Library with her. She would be loud and noisy with her Cat Squad bike, and she would never return her books on time. Bluey and Bingo got fed up with Muffin's action and told Chili about it, and at first she told Bluey that she should let Muffin play however she likes, until Bingo said the reason she didn't play properly was that she was told that "she's the most special kid in the world and that she doesn't have to follow rules", which made Stripe tell Muffin that to him and her mom, she is special, but maybe not to everyone else, and that she should follow rules like everyone else. Muffin then agreed and finally plays right with Bluey and Bingo, which made them have a good time.

Like I said, I didn't approve on how she acted in Charades, nor for the solution for it, but this episode was definitely a better approach for resolving Muffin's behavior.

The Simpsons: Alone Again, Natura-Diddly (2000) Season 11, Episode 14

A great and also emotional episode of The Simpsons.

[10/10 · 9 July 2023]

Many Simpsons episodes have humor in it, and some have some emotional points too, such as "The Sound of Bleeding Gums Murphy", and "I (Annoyed Grunt) Bot". This episode is definitely one of those episodes, which focuses on the death of Maude Flanders, Ned Flanders' wife, and how he tries to cope with her death. During a race event, Homer wanted a t-shirt to be shot at him, but he bent down to pick something up and the shirt accidentally hit Maude to her death. Ned was very depressed and devastated over Maude's death, everyone tried to cheer him up. Bart cheered up his kids, Rod and Todd, though by playing a Christian video game with them. Ned however was still upset, Homer wanted to help him out somehow by trying to find him another woman to date. Ned's grief was getting worse to him saying that he would give up going to church, which shocked Rod and Todd, but he quickly changed his mind and went back to church. He heard a Christian Country Rock singer when he got there and felt very moved by her song, and was getting attracted to her. Their interaction together had made Ned feel better. This had humor, but more importantly this focused on the emotional points of how Ned Was trying to cope with Maude's death.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Yakity-Sax (2018) Season 8, Episode 14

All of the Mane Ponies were unlikable here, and the lesson was all over the place.

[3/10 · 18 June 2023]

So this episode had Pinkie Pie get a new instrument and enjoys it as a hobby, however, she would end up annoying every pony and mess them up on their tasks. The other Mane Ponies then decide to tell Pinkie that she's not good at playing the yomidaphone, which was a terrible thing to say just to get her to stop playing, as was just as bad as Pinkie being inconsiderate to others with her playing, or maybe worse. Pinkie then gets into a very bad depression and what was the "solution" Twilight thought of? To remind her of the other things she's good at, which of course didn't work, nor did the party the ponies plan.

They find out from her sister Maude Pie that Pinkie left Ponyville to live in Yakyakistan to live with the yaks to "watch the masters play". The Mane Ponies then decide to go see her and basically force her to come back, all except Twilight who wants to talk to her. They meet with her and Twilight asks her what is wrong but then tells her to keep playing and not stop, (even though the Mane Ponies told her to stop because her playing of the yomidaphone was bad) because it made her happy, which didn't address the other issue of how inconsiderate Pinkie was when playing it to annoy others. She played it in front of the yaks and surprisingly to her and the other ponies, that they thought it was good and that it makes her happy and that the instrument is a symbol of happiness.

What could've been done of this episode was for both sides to have been better, Pinkie being inconsiderate to everyone with her playing was definitely out of character, as well as Twilight and the other ponies acting dumb of the situation when Pinkie was depressed from being told to stop playing the yomidaphone because she was bad at it, which also was wrong. They could've told her that she should play quieter or somewhere else that wouldn't bother anypony while they were doing their tasks, she probably would've understood and not be really upset over it, because it wasn't right to say she was bad at it JUST to get her to stop playing, and Twilight being the Princess of Friendship should have known right away that keeping Pinkie away from her new hobby wouldn't fix the problem. So yeah, the lesson on "doing what makes you happy" was good, but it didn't solve the problem of how annoying Pinkie was to everyone with it, she can like it but again, she could've been considerate to the other ponies and not annoy them with her loud playing. So like I said, all the Mane Ponies were the problem with this episode here, not just Pinkie herself.

Pokémon: An Epic Defense Force! (2012) Season 15, Episode 34

Great episode showcasing Pokestar Studios from Black and White Version 2!

[10/10 · 1 May 2023]

Seen this episode and enjoyed it! Ash, Iris, and Cilan meet up again with Luke and his Zorua on their way to get Ash's 8th Gym Badge for a step to enter the Unova League, however Like is on his way to enter Pokestar Studios to try to make a movie to get him in the top to make more movies. Ash decides to join him and help him out. Luke's rival also is making a movie to get the award too. The movie is supposed to be based on a certain theme that involves a Mecha Tyranitar causing havoc on a Pokemon Island. What was cool about this is that it shown Luke, Ash, and the others along with their Pokemon making the movie, editing it, and even showing the full product. It shown a piece of Luke's rival's version but Luke's was well done, again it was cool that they actually shown the full thing. At first when no one clapped, Luke didn't think no one liked it, but a few seconds after, it looked like they enjoyed it! Luke gets an award and gets to be part of making more movies through Pokestar Studios. Ash and the others then continue on their way to get to the 8th Gym so Ash can get ready for the Unova League.

Again, this was quite an enjoyable episode to watch, especially how it promoted Pokestar Studios from Black and White Version 2. I enjoyed making movies on that part of the game and how they adapted it for this episode was amazing, even showing a finished movie from making one! This definitely has to be one of the best of the Black and White anime's episodes.

Superkitties: Hole Lot Of Trouble/Roboctopus (2023) Season 1, Episode 13

Great episodes with good lessons in tracing back your steps and to not make people feel replaced and unwanted.

[10/10 · 30 April 2023]

These were both great episodes of Super Kitties. In "Hole Lot of Trouble", during a Fund Run, Mr. Puppypaws digs holes causing chaos during the Fund Run and causing animals to be in danger and almost getting hurt, the Super Kitties stop his machine and Buddy teaches Mr. Puppypaws on what to do to attempt to find something. He lost his toy duck and he thought that while he was burying bones that he buried the duck on mistake, he backtracked on where he last was and what he did, and from doing that, he found his duck. And in "Roboctopus", Sparks makes an update to the SuperKitty Kit, naming that update "Bitsy 2.0", which made Bitsy upset, and making her think that the Super Kitties no longer need her, same happens with Otto, when Lab Rat makes a Roboctopus, a mechanical octopus in a plan to steal cheese. Bitsy goes away finding Otto feeling the same way, and sing a song together "Left Behind", which reminded me of Styx, "Babe" and many 80's Ballads. Seems like the Super Kitties and Lab Rat needed Bitsy and Otto to stop the mechanical octopus. Sparks and Lab Rat apologized to Bitsy and Otto from making them feel replaced and unwanted, and of course Lab Rat had to give the cheese back to everyone for the cheese festival. Great episodes of I enjoyed these a lot, I did enjoy the song Bitsy and Otto sang too on "Roboctopus", like I said it reminded me of that Styx song and many 80's Ballads, and I wonder if they were referencing those with this. These were great episodes.
