One Shot Posts: Rugrats: Chuckie Loses His Glasses

Rugrats Nickelodeon One Shot Posts 





         So, Rugrats, as of this writing, is returning with a new remade series that's done in 3D animation because reasons and coming to the streaming service number 9,425 or Paramount Plus (formerly known as CBS All Access) ." Rugrats" is my favorite Nickelodeon animated series of all time, and I thought this would be a good time do a One Shot Post about an episode. 

     So today, we are looking at Season 2 Episode 16a: "Chuckie Loses His Glasses"/ 

   Since the first thing you notice about Chuckie is wild red hair... oh ok the second thing you notice about Chuckie is that he wears a glasses. (Fun fact: Chuckie is my favorite Rugrat) This episode revolves around the idea of  "What if Chuckie cant' see?" (What?)  The episode  sets up stuff that a) it's raining and b) Chuckie is worried that Angelia might be mad at him for eating two of her crayons. (eww) They get the parents out of the way because we need this plot to plot. (yeah!) 

         Since it's raining (no government today, because it's raining) they have to be trapped inside, so they need a game to do and Angelica decides to do hide-n-seek (or hide and go seek). Angelica being Angelica and she likes to pick on Chuckie so she decides to make Chuckie "it" because she's mad. Also Angelica tells Chuckie to take off his eyes. (what?)  Good thing she means the glasses (his extras eyes or this would be a dark episode)  Angelica uses the moment of him counting to take his glasses.  So apparently, thanks to Chuckie's vision being not good, he sees strange shapes and thinks they are monsters and junk. The episode's music and visuals are on great display as always. The friends think Chuckie is just trying to get them to stop hiding by faking he's needing help. (Uhh, guys I'm being mauled by a bear! Help !  Nice Try!) 
   
          If this is how Chuckie sees the world without his glasses, he's more scared than he is when he can see clearly. (Now the rain is gone)  Chuckies maunders the house and finally gets Spike to be his seeing eye dog.( I wish we could ride dogs)  He wants Spike to find Tommy for him, inspeaking of Tommy, he thinks Chuckie is in trouble.  Meanwhile, Angelica  continues her chaos reign.  He puts Chuckie's glasses on and gets dizzy then tells everyone that Chuckie is dead. (what?)  She literally says dead , that's not one of my jokes. 

          Back to her being dizzy,  Tommy says they need to keep looking, and now Tommy has the glasses. Chuckie and Spike are outside because that's where Spike too him, because he's a dog and doing dog things.  Tommy gets the idea to "wear Chuckie's eyes) and he thinks that's how Chuckie sees the world (top joke, this episode) Poor Chuckie gives up and just swings in the rain.   I like the parallel of Tommy finding a bag of vegetables and thinking they are Chuckie  and Chuckie thinking a bush is his friends. 
    
         Chuckie steps on glasses that are outside, thinks that they are his and starts to cry, thankfully Tommy hears him and finds him.  Chuckie can see again (it's  a miracle!)  Now that's fine, Angelica was feeling bad from the glasses and throws up on her dad's sweater.  Also the glasses that were broken were Grandpa Lou's. It ends with the young mocking the old.  
       
     Pretty fun episode, good jokes and humor, shows the show's strength of great visuals to make the world look distorted to Chuckie, Angelica, and Tommy's vision.   Episode is pretty fun to watch, I love its atmosphere and set up to get things going. This is a  premium Rugrats episode.  
  
  Anyway, that's it for now, tune in next time, when we take someone's eyes. (wait noooo) 





[POST SCRIPT :  If  you are reading this in May of 2021, the remake series comes out on May 27th on Paramount Plus, I'm not too sure if I'm going to like it, the animation style kind of throws me off, I may or may not write about something from it.  You can watch the original series currently on Hulu and Paramount Plus ]

Fall TV 2021: The CW

The CW TvLookFall2021  Upfronts 


     The CW has released their fall schedule. A big thing to note is that this year they are expanding  into Saturday Night, in exchange the are giving that hour of daytime (a relic from the old KIDS WB days) to their affiliates.  It's predecessor networks the WB (whom the original schedule of the network was based from)  and UPN left Saturday nights to it's affiliates. This is curious since Saturday is usually a "dead" night on network TV.  

       The network is making moves for it's shows as well.  "Riverdale" is moving from it's long time Wednesday night slot.  Sunday will not have scripted shows instead they 'll have"Legends of hte Hidden Temple" (yes you read that right)  and "Killer Camp".    The fall line is filled mostly with familiarity.  There will only be one new scripted series that's a remake of "4400".  

      In midseason,  "All American: Homecoming"  and "Naomi" are the new series making their premieres.   Midseason will also have the returns of "Charmed" , "DC's Stargirl" , "Dynasty" , "In the Dark" , "Kung Fu" , "Roswell, New Mexico" , "Superman and Lois".

Peanuts Film Festival : Bon Voyage. Charlie Brown (And Don't come back!!)

Peanuts 




       This time we are looking at the last Peanuts movie made when Charles Schulz was alive, and until 2015 was the last Peanuts theatrical movie.  "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!!)"  (Which I 'm just going to call Bon Voyage)  came out in May of 1980.  This movie is a light Peanuts favorite of mine, probably because it was on rerunning on TV so much.  In our blogging order, this is the final Peanuts film we are looking at, this has been fun doing the Peanuts Film Festival theme of posts.  Let's get going. 

     The movie starts with a girl looking at  bag with the name S. Brown on it and writing a letter to some one named Charles. ( I wonder who that is) Meanwhile, in Charlie Brown land (what?)  at school Linus is talking to the class as if he was the teacher because that's how that works, and there are two new students named Babette and Jacques, who are exchange students.  In exchange, Charlie Brown and Linus have been chosen to go to France. 
I kind of want to see what these  French kids had to do for two weeks/ Copyright Paramount


       Charlie Brown then gets a letter, it's from the girl in the credits, in French, which is convenient  that he got a letter from France when he's going to France.  Peppermint Patty and Marcie are going to France too. (Which makes that Peppermint Patty being in Charlie Brown's class image earlier confusing since they go to different schools)   Lucy yells the title of the movie and we'll never see her again. This movie is literally 76 minutes long, which is shorter than a Hallmark Channel TV movie without ads. 

     And most of this movie that says our characters will be in France, barely gets to the France. There's an airplane ride scene where Snoopy does stuff on a plane (back when riding planes were fun) and the other characters do stuff.  They also have a meta moment of the movie being watched on the plane being a Paramount movie, which this movie is. Also Marcie knows French, which is convenient too!   She can read the letter, and the girl wants to meet Charlie Brown and welcome to stay at her home.  Which is called  , Château du Mal Voisin (House of the Bad Neighbor).  (Which means State Farm isn't there)    The girl's name is  Violette Honfleur.  
uhh Copyright Paramount / Paramount 



     This is movie is a movie that has time for stuff, which you can maybe forgive because it's Peanuts and you are here to see Peanuts, but if you wanted the plot to kick off, it's a long ride.  Linus knows Scottish geography  and they  are going to London. Yes, London. Which is not in France. (wow )  This movie feels like it's structured like the comic strip, where events happen with an arc through taking it's time to set it up then get to the meat. Some part of me wonders if this was an idea for a special but was given a theater run instead.  I don't want to be too hard on it, it's just something to note.

But First These Messages: Like a Rock

Commercials 




    I haven't done a "But First These Messages" segment in sometime, so this is time. A special edition this is a look (but not a over detailed ) look at the famous "Like a Rock" Chevy campaign. This campaign ran from 1991-2003, using the Bob Segar also called "Like a Rock" This was used to promote Chevy trucks because the trucks are built "like a rock" get it?

Short Lived Series: Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1996)

The Lookback  




           Finally back to one of our favorite topics, random obscure shows that didn't last long.  This time, we are looking at "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"  from 1996.  That's right there's a series called "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"  that first aired on CBS on September 20, 1996 and ran for the long time of just over a month.  It has 13 episodes.    I don't think this series is based off the 1941 movie "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" about a married  couple who find out that their marriage is not valid and comedy ensues.  I also don't think it's based off the  2005 film with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, that would be hard to do. 

       This series is about two spies, Mr. Smith only known as Mr. Smith is played by Scott Bakula. (Meaning this is where Sam Quantum Leaped) . and Mrs. Smith is played by Maria Bello.  So now, you may be wondering what this series about?

Do Watch Elliott From Earth

Cartoon Network  Opinion 



     I was going to do a blog post about each episode, and give my thoughts on episodes one by one, that was my intention before the series premiered.  Then the series premiered, and I watched each day it came on the air (all 10 days straight).  Watching the show, I wasn't sure what to expect first, but now that I've watched it, I think this is a better way to a post about this show. 

       "Elliott From Earth" is a Cartoon Network series made from Cartoon Network's European Studios the same studios that made " The Amazing World of Gumball". You can see they might have a similar aesthetic to the series.  It is a different creator and writing staff. 
Copyright Cartoon Network Studios Europe 


  The very thing is called "Chapter One: The Journey Begins" and this chapter is 4, 11-minute episodes called "Wednesday" .
    
     The show starts with a very thematic feel to it start, we meet Elliott who is 11-years-old and seems to be on the quest to make friends. His mother a geologist named Frankie and live and travel in a R.V where she goes around trying to prove...aliens are real. She has this particular rock that she says came from outer space and might be a clue, she's also  been made fun by other geologists.  From the start, you can see Elliott is an optimistic character but long for stability and friends. He also likes dinosaurs, as noted by his toy dinosaur, that he introces to another boy with the same name.   
       
    The show sets up the characters well and I do like how it's the parent who thinks aliens are real  and it's not a kid trying  to have to convince his parent.  The art style is already amazing, and I like the designs, but more on that later. 

       
  The show is called "Elliott from EARTH" but he's still on Earth. We have to get to from part.  That means the meteorite.  So the meteorite is activated  sends them to another world. This is like a world like a forest/jungle/swap area. Strange frogs, which you will be seeing in future episodes as the little intro cards. I'm going to do this spoiler free, but do watch the show (heh the title of the post) and notice the little nuggets and details, this show rewards those who rewatch after the first time, you'll love it. 

      They also lose the meteorite, because we need our characters to stay from Earth not on Earth, or we have no plot. A dinosaur is met, a good boy, they name him Mo. They speak dinosaur and somehow the dino speaks their language, it's weird, but it's alright.  



      It's still Wednesday, we go to part 3, they find out, yes they are in a different world, but they were actually in a biosphere.  They are taken out of the biosphere because they aren't supposed to be there. This is the start of where you get to see the different alien creature-folk as the world building comes alive.  Already, we had some cool world building going on, and this makes it even better. 

    Episode 4 is the conclusion of Chapter One and the "Wednesday" arc. We meet the world of the show ,now we are in this beautiful city.  I won't give too much, as I promised but this episode does a good message of don't judge a book by its cover and it's actually the Mom who has to learn that. These four episodes set up the series well and it seems like it will be an interesting journey.  It is story-driven show, if you like that type of thing, like you can't watch it out of order really at all, so mind that for this part and the rest. 

           This show does have comedy and it's some great moments, that don't want to explain because this a post making a pitch to you to watch and enjoy this series yourself.   Episodes 5 and 6, I love how the tiles of these episodes are alliterative. I do love episodes and stories that take place at the same time but from different sides. I think case: episode 5 is same time focused on what Elliott and Mo are doing, while Episod 6 is with Frankie. That's fun.  Elliott goes to a school like place and is apprehensive about joining because we get some more backstory about how his constant moving made him not able to make friends. It's a nice touch, and the episode works well. Episode 6 drives the plot along with Frankie trying to learn more about this world and getting help with finding the meteorite.  



      Some episodes in the series are characters experiencing this world.  Pause. I'm going to mention it here the theme intro is awesome, I'm also surprised it was longer than 5 seconds, or at least allowed to air on tv and be longer than 5 seconds.  Gumball's theme is short for example on Live TV. Un pause. (what?)  I like these episodes where you learn about different characters, creatures and strange things in this world. Because it is a not a grounded our Earth world, there's stuff to play around with. Episodes 5 to 16 are Chapter 2, this book is little bottom heavy. (slight joke?) 

 
   What are some episodes that stood out to me between 5-10?   "Chaotic Clumping" is fun because of Mo and Elliott getting combined. It's also good example of a strength of this show, it takes plots we've seen and gives them twists.  The endings are especially great. 




   Episodes 11-15 have a great strength to them as well.  "Parallel Paradox" (episode 11) does a great job of  taking a plot we've seen before of character has to be in two places at once and executes its own style , spin and humor on it.  It's a funny episode just as much as anything else.   "Temporal Tedium" is a well done episode, the twist  of end is just perfect. This show has a dark humor it works well. 

  Episode 16 is the  Chapter 2 finale and, so far, the last episode that has aired. It ties stuff together from the other episodes and explains the deep the question of Mo learning what happened to dinosaurs. Which um well that's not good.  It feels like it's going to be an episode with one thing but that one thing ties it together and makes it a good episode that also wants you to want more. That's all I'm going to say.  
  
       This post is mostly me just saying I really love this show. It's not completely perfect, but it's a enjoyable ride. You can watch all the episodes in one sitting or as I did watched them when they premiered day by day.   
   
        Since this is a cartoon, the thing you notice is the art work . The colors have a neon look to them, it is a very colorful program, with the different alien species they have unique designs and colors and bring a whole lot to the look of the show.  As the title says, do watch this show, it's has fun characters, environments and stories to tell.  

  That's it for now, tune in next time when we figure out what this message from aliens telling us not to open this box means.

DCOM Creates a Clone: The Other Me

Disney Channel Original Movies 


          The Paul McCartney song, "The Other Me" is oh sorry, wrong blog.   We dip back into a Disney Channel Original movie ,again from the year 2000, to bring you the September installment of that year,  "The Other Me".    The movie stars Andy Lawrence in his second of three Disney Channel original movies.

               The movie starts at school where some kids make fun Andy Lawrence's character, Will Browning, for having a yo-yo (why?, like I know)   Will isn't the best student in school he likes to be lazy and slide by, how do I know this? Because he said it.  There's a girl who makes me scared for Will, like she might like him or might want to kill him. (That would make this movie more exciting.)  Her name is Heather and she wants to ask Will to the dance, but he Will-not (get it?)   The actress playing Heather was in a couple other Disney Channel movies: Phantom of the Megaplex and Cadet Kelly.


         Will has a science project due in 3 weeks, because if he doesn't do well  he Will (stop it) have to repeat the class.  There's also bully character, named Scottie DeSota , who is important for this movie. (Find at 5,6,9, and 10)  To be fair, Will got him suspended, but I'm not sure of the full details. Now at home, we see Will's family.  The mother seems to be a hippy  and the dad is played by  Mark L Taylor, a guy that always seems to be cast as a  Dad in a TV show or movie.

       And he has a sister named Allana, she exists.  Since it's report card day, the parents like the sister's report card and don't like Will's.  The parents say that if he doesn't get his grades up, he would end up at a boys summer boot camp. (Because, that'll fix things)  I would be bad to not mention that one of those cool see through land line phones is in this movie.  His mother tells him they don't care about A grades; they want him to try harder.  He finds a magazine and decides to use it as a science project idea.


   Meanwhile, at a placed Ocean Pups these two guys are trying to do some cloning, called hyper-cloning. They want to be rich. The company is actually a front operation to do what they do. Their names are Victor and Conrad.  (They will be our villains, this movie)  So mouse escapes causing a cat to chase it and knock over some cloning stuff  and some of it seeps through the floor to the products they are selling where it drips on one box that will end up guess where?  Oh yeah main character's house.

      These ocean pup things seem to be like those "sea monkey" things.  Will starts to work on his project and uses his comb to mix the stuff , thus causing him to create a naked clone, that is is his same age and stuff. Also the clone is played by Andy Lawrence, so he's doing a Disney's Parent trap here. (Fun how this works for both versions)  He calls Ocean Pups, and tells them it does some weird stuff , which helps our plot later.   ( I did this out of order but it flows better here)  After a moment of time of constant staring and bemusement we get the movie going again.

 The other me would be the glad one/ Copyright Disney 

        I noticed a fun little shooting error but I won't mention what it was. Anyway, Will decides that the best thing to do with a clone is to pass him of as a science project. (Yep, that's normal)  The lady he called  tells our villains that some strange things happened and they put together that some of their cloning stuff made it out. 

       The music for the background in this movie is done by Mark Mothersbaugh , so that's why it sounds like "Rugrats" somewhat.  The clone seems to be able to read books quickly and absorbing information in a quick fashion.  Parts of this movie will be antics of Will trying to hide the clone, that's much of this film.
