I'm going to review some new Saturday morning shows from the 2006/2007 season. Most of the shows I've seen were pretty bad. And I don't care what anybody says or thinks of my opinion.
Viva Piñata
This show is horrible. Who got the idea to have talking piñatas?! Some people this this is a great show. I don't know what they are on. 4kids is trying to cash in on this show based on an X-box 360 game, since they lost the rights to Pokémon, and they need another cash cow.
Horseland
This is a good show. I really like the way it's drawn. But that's not why I like it. The show actually has a plot to it. And I love the theme song. This show is based off a virtual pet site, which I have never played. It has a retro feel to it.
Cake
Dic is really trying to cash in on those tween comedies. This show is about this teen girl named Cake who is supposed to be like a teenage Martha Stewart on speed or something. Plus it has a bad canned laugh track. One of her friends creeps me out because she's like 7 and wears eye shadow. I was offended while watching this show. They made fun of quinseras and the l.a.m.b. line. Plus there is this crafting segment. This would have appealed if I was 5.
Dance Revolution
Whoa! This is like Dance 360 for kids. Well a watered down version mixed with So You Think You Can Dance? The three celebrity judges I had only heard of one of them. The host is annoying a little less than Seacrest which is saying a lot. The Slumber Party Girls sing an opening song. Then they talk over the dance routines with health tips. To help you get active they teach some dance moves which I thought were hard to learn. Plus the Slumber Party girls are annoying by them selves. They have way too much attitude and do those neck movements. I might have been into this show if I was 8.
The Replacements
Who thought of this show? It's horrible. I mean I know people like the idea of escapism by replacing people. But the real problem with this show for me is that it wasn't entertaining. People can rant and rave about a show all they want, but if it's not entertaining to me I won't keep watching. Somebody compared it to Teamo Supremeo which is another Disney cartoon I don't like. Now most Disney animated series I see are crap. The few modern ones I do like are The Buzz on Maggie and Fillmore!
Tom and Jerry Tales
This is pretty good I mean it can be as violent as the original and they have to get rid of all the racial jokes and stereotypes. The one thing this show was lacking was sound effects. It needs good sound effects and music to make it work since Tom and Jerry do not talk. That' what made the old series so great. Even the Flimation and HB (Tom and Jerry show) versions.
