The Powerpuff Girls (2016–2023)

Not surprised for the second season

[1/10 · 22 July 2016]

The old "The Powerpuff Girls" was one of CN's best animated TV shows of all time. When they announced the reboot I was so excited to see The Powerpuff Girls come back again. But just after watching the first couple of episodes I was turned off and infuriated. In fact, the reboot is like a huge slap on the face to Powerpuff Girls fans everywhere. The villains look ridiculous compared to the old ones, in one episode "Man Up" The Powerpuff Girls face a villain known as Man-Boy ( A boy who has powers of a man ). In another episode known as "Blue Ribbon Blues" The Powerpuff Girls faces yet another villain turning all of there school mates into half animals known as Janitaur ( Half janitor and half horse ). There's also a lot of other things wrong with the show that I don't even know where to start but I'll make a list.

1. They took Mrs.Bellum out because she looked "Offensive" 2. They steal jokes from other TV shows 3. The Villains look like a joke ( as I mentioned earlier ) 4. They rarely show the action the old TV show had 5. They try to blend in with pop culture which makes the show even harder to watch

I would go on but I wouldn't want to take up the whole review. Anyways, I would rather wait for this show to get cancelled ( sooner or later ) so they would make a another reboot ( hopefully better than this one ). I will never look at The Powerpuff Girls the same way again thanks to this show.

Backstage (I) (2016–2017)

Rip off of Degrassi?

[6/10 · 12 July 2016]

Disney has made some good sitcoms, and some bad ones. But never have I seen a sitcom like this before. Backstage is about these teens who have talent, dealing with the pressure that's put on them in school by teacher's and students. But Degrassi has a almost similar plot. They always have problems at school, home, drugs, sexuality Etc. I never really heard of the show ( probably because of the viewer ratings? ) but trying to compete with there version of drama, and nickelodeons version wouldn't be easy. Disney always want's to make there TV shows "Family friendly" but end up making annoying ones that kids at the age of 6-14 won't bother watching. I'm not saying the show is bad, but the drama doesn't grab viewers attention when the director was attending to. Maybe the writers just forgot what drama was like for them when they where teens. Just watching a clip from YouTube made me incurious from watching another one. They mostly just have really boring arguments that again doesn't appeal to anyone. If your looking for a decent drama that's more for teens, skip this show. If your looking for a family friendly drama you've found the right show.
