I've been seeing super hero shows since I was really young. But if there's a show that involves super heroes and is really comical, it's PJ Masks. While there's technology and powers, the heroes and even the villains would sometimes get silly. This is a decent yet funny show for all ages.

The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show
(2015–2017)
A Little Quirky But Still Fun
21 April 2018
A few years earlier, the film Mr. Peabody and Sherman was released in theaters. Like all films based on segments of the 1960s Rocky and Bullwinkle show, the film flopped at the box office, even though its revenue was greater than its budget. Nevertheless, the film's positive reception was enough to inspire the creation of this TV show.
Unlike the film which uses 3D cgi, the TV show uses 2G cgi. But that's okay. Sherman here sounds younger than his 1960s counterpart but it still fits the character. There's also a bit of quirkiness on how some of the characters act but that's common to animated shows with classic cartoonish nature. When animated cartoons first hit the screen decades ago, they were originally adaptations of comic characters.

Bubsy 3D
(1996 Video Game)
Not A Perfect 3D Platformer But Not Close To Being One Of The Worst Games
6 May 2017
As 3D games were becoming the norm in the mid-1990s, a number of well-known characters were making the transition, and Bubsy is one of those characters. While Bubsy creator Mike Berlyn had no experience in making 3d games, I could tell he certainly put up a great effort. However, the game was so not well received by game reviewers. Because of this, Berlyn and his team were probably demoralized from making more games in the Bubsy series. Since then, Bubsy 3D (and in some cases the character) have been severely put down and meanly ridiculed by net users.
If there's a problem I see in game reviewers sometimes, that is they tend to give their reviews after playing the game for only five minutes. A game can be difficult at first, but If you get a little familiar with it, then it will be easy or less troubling.
When I was about to play this game on my PS3 (which is compatible with PS1 games), I was having low expectations because of the excessive negativity surrounding the game. But when I played it, the game didn't turn out to be as bad as they say. Bubsy moves smoothly, and grabs on floating platforms really good.
When it comes to jumping on enemies, I used to get unwanted results like overshooting or undershooting the target, and therefore taking damage in the process. However, it didn't take me very long to become adept and accurate with my jumps.
Perhaps the main concern is the way Bubsy needs to be rotated before going in another direction because this might leave him vulnerable to being attacked. Well, with sufficiently quick reaction and proper planning, this should be almost not a problem. And contrary to what some gamers say, it is actually possible to steer Bubsy while he's running.
As for the graphics, the ones in the first round may look unappealing. However, they start to look a little better as you go into the later rounds. True, the graphics maybe a total departure to the naturalistic designs used in the previous Bubsy games. But if anyone wants to know with regards to the game's appearance, these are called polygons. Polygons are a technique used in vintage 3D games. Polygons may not display curves on shapes very well but at least the character moves smoother and faster. Bubsy may look a little weird because of this but it's not that bad. In fact, I think they give him what I like to call a surreal look. Also I don't think the graphics of other polygon games like Virtua Racing and the first Virtua Fighter game are any better than this one. And considering that the game is set on an alien planet, weird stuff like the trees and checkered terrain shouldn't surprise anyone.
Despite what some may say about the controls, I didn't find the game too difficult. In fact, I managed to finished it in only a month. So what I would say is this. Bubsy 3D is not a perfect 3D platformer but not worthy of being labeled one of the worst. Also, I enjoyed playing it. The feel of this game is sorta similar to that of Blinx, a highly regarded 3D game.

Bubsy II
(1994 Video Game)
I wish we could see more of those cute bobkittens
27 July 2016
After seeing the first two Bubsy games, I then imagined what would it be like if Bubsy had two pals who would occasionally greet and assists him in his adventures. It became reality when Bubsy's nephew and niece appear in the second game. It should be noted that those two bobkittens debut in a TV special which predates the second game. When the bobkittens appear in the second game, they're even cuter than before. I sometimes imagine them wearing velcro sneakers.
After Bubsy retired from video games 20 years ago, some publisher is planning to bring him back there. Should he appear in a new game, I hope those bobkittens would appear also. And if I am one of those working on the new game, like I said earlier, I'll give them velcro sneakers.

Sonic Heroes
(2003 Video Game)
A Classic In The Sonic Series
11 June 2016
Over a decade ago, a played an Animaniacs video game for the SNES. The game is a side-scroller (as with most games in the early-1990s). But instead of controlling a single character, I get to play a team of three characters. And as long as the one I control does not die, the other two will be fine.
And when I started playing Sonic Heroes, I was amazed to relived that beautiful Animaniacs experience. The difference between this game and the aforementioned one is that Sonic Heroes is a 3D game, and it has more features. As with the Animaniacs game, I get to play three characters. Each character has a set of moves for certain situations, and I could switch between them during a game.
Because of its uniqueness, I would consider Sonic Heroes a classic in the Sonic series. The games' developers perhaps wanted to try something different by having the player to play a group instead of an individual character.

Scaredy Squirrel
(2011–2013)
A Really Cute And Comical Show
1 June 2016
After watching a few episodes online, I find the series (as I said in the title) cute and comical. Some haters say the show borrows a lot from Spongebob. Me, I don't think so. What aspects of this show are they looking at? In fact, I think what's in the series are things very common in most cartoon shows. It is common for characters to become hyperactive and extremely emotional on certain situations.
When I saw some stuff about the show on this website, I develop some curiosity as I'm a bit of a squirrel fan. The show centers on Scaredy Squirrel who goes on slapstick adventures with his best buddy Dave who is a skunk. Scaredy, as the name implies, is a squirrel who can easily be frightened, although he does show some daringness in a lot of cases. Besides daringness, he's also a great stacker and organizer in grocery items.

Bubsy
(1993 TV Movie)
Not All That Bad
25 May 2016
When I started playing those Bubsy games, I already liked the character in an embracing way. And since then, I been having interests into just about any media that centers on the character.
I wonder why a number of viewers find this cartoon unfavorable? I wonder if all that disdain to Bubsy is based on the negative reception received by the character's first and only 3D video game? Whatever the reason, people should treat each media individually.
Some viewers say the rhythm of the show is loud or too upbeat. Well I have no problem with that. In fact that rhythm was something popularize in cartoons from the 1940s and 1950s.
As to what I appreciate in this one, the action and gags are adequate, and pretty standard for its time. Those action include aggressive excitement and exaggerated passion which is best suited for younger audiences.
The only flaw perhaps is the way Bubsy says his catchphrase maybe a bit to repetitive. Viewers don't need to be annoyed because one the characters in the show feels the same way.

Blue's Clues
(1996–2007)
One Of The Shows That Defined Nickelodeon
20 October 2015
I saw an episode of this show nearly twenty years ago. After knowing a little about it, I had no idea it would have a long run. If there's anything that made the show such a hit, perhaps its the cute characters and the themes that are totally original. Also, the idea of picking up clues, and putting them together to get the answer could inspire youngsters to have strategic thinking like detectives.
Again, the show was such a hit that it ran for over a decade. And because of how long it ran, Blue's Clues is definitely one of the series that defined Nickelodeon, along with Dora the Explorer, and Spongebob.
If girls would wear shirts depicting Blue, boys would probably wear shirts portraying Periwinkle.
