Introduction

Hey folks. The name's TurtleMarlowe and this is my blog. On this blog I'll mostly be doing reviews. Those reviews will mostly be of cartoons. What cartoons you ask? Well, for right now I'm going to be writing about two shows.

The first being about an average kid that no one understands.

That's right. Every episode of Fairly Oddparents reviewed! All the wishes. All the hijinx. All the additional main characters we didn't need.

I will only be covering the TV series, though. So no Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts. Gonna be starting with "The Big Problem".



And secondly....

Yes indeed! The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy reviewed.




Now how this will work is I will walk through the episode while providing commentary, and then give a rating of "Good", "Meh", or "Bad". I realize this system is used elsewhere, but I enjoy its simplicity, so I'm going to snag it.


I may add on a couple of series as I go forward, but for now I'm sticking with these two shows. The first review will be up pretty soon.

Cheers!

FOP Review #6: "Dog's Day Afternoon"

Image
Hey folks. Turtle here with another FOP review. Today, Timmy switched places with a dog for the perks. But all is not what it seems. Let's dive into “Dog's Day Afternoon”. Title card from the Fairly Oddparents Wiki Our story begins with Timmy's mom and dad leaving for a night out. It appears that Vicky is praising Timmy. Did we wind up in some bizarre parallel dimension? It turns out it's her dog Doidle she's praising. Timmy complains about Doidle being over again. “ She sure does love that dog more than she loves you.” “ She loves everything more than Timmy.” Including hemorrhoids, the year 2016, and the Star Wars Christmas Special. Vicky makes Timmy do stuff for the dog. Doidle is also given a steak for dinner while Timmy has to much on the plastic tray of a TV dinner. With those teeth, he should be able to break through it pretty easily. Timmy complains about being second banana to a dog. ...

FOP Review #5: "Chin Up"

Hey folks. Turtle here with another FOP review. Today is the introduction of Superhero Jay Leno the Crimson Chin. Can the Chin overcome an existential crisis and save the day? Let's find out in “Chin Up”. Title card from Fairly Oddparents Wiki Our story begins at the Comic, Fantasy, and Reality Avoidance Expo. Five seconds in and we're shitting on nerds. Timmy is in line to enter and wants to get his comic book signed by the Crimson Chin. Ummm does he know that the Crimson Chin isn't real? Chester and AJ are also there for the costume contest. Remember that. Inside, Timmy (figuratively) wishes Cosmo and Wanda could be there, and they apparently are. Timmy tries to hide them, but Wanda assures him that people will think they're just kids in costumes since it's a comic book convention. That doesn't explain how you can fly, Wanda. Also there's kid dressed as a tree. Probably just a random cosplay...

FOP Review #4: "Transparents"

Hey folks. It's Turtle again with some more Fairly Oddparents. This time we're meeting Denzel Crocker, and man is he off his rocker. Will Timmy be able to keep his FAIRY GOD PARENTS?!?! Let's find out in “Transparents”. Title card from the Fairly Oddparents Wiki Our story begins with show-and-tell. “ Well Mr. Crocker, for show and tell I brung my dog, Mange.” Wasn't that Buttercup's superhero name from when the Powerpuff Girls went solo for an episode? Also Mange eats first graders, which are all kept in a giant glass jar. How are those kids not dead from the lack of air? Timmy speaks with Cosmo and Wanda, who are disguised as pencils about his show and tell project. Oh now they can shapeshift into other things. Where was that ability last episode? Francis receives a “D” and Timmy comes up to the front. Timmy opens a lunchbox to reveal a small purple dinosaur. Oh no! It's the spawn of Barney! ...
