Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • Book: The Higher Power of Lucky

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    A beautiful story for higher thinkers

    My son and I read this together for a book reprot in forth grade. Despite the lack of action, we were both drawn into the plight of a little girl whose life feels so precarious that she turns to the ...

  • TV: Metalocalpyse

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Doodilidoo!

    Metalocalpse is an acquired taste but worth the effort. I reccommend adults watching it with the subtitles on--some of the dialogue is difficult to follow because of Nordic accents and speech ...

  • TV: Cowboy Bebop

    I rate this titleonand give it3.0

    Successful Fusion of Anime, Westerns and Sci-Fi

    Cowboy Bebop is a great introduction into anime for those new to it. Bebop is a benign show--adult themes are dealt with delicately and female characters are protrayed as strong and multidimensional. ...

  • TV: Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Inane Parody of Classic Cartoon Characters

    Harvey Birdman is a hit-or-miss comedy that is probably one of the most tame offerings on Adult Swim. Playing off of Hanna-Barbera insider jokes such as Shaggy being a pothead or Race Bannon being ...

  • TV: Assy McGee

    I rate this titleoffand give it1.0

    Assy McGee is Crappy!

    The title of the show tells it all--its about a naked ass. The show is crude, misogynistic and bloody but that's not the problem. Its not very smart or clever or even funny. In fact, I've watched it ...

  • TV: The Powerpuff Girls

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Too Many Role Models to Chose From

    PowerPuff Girls is a classic and perhaps the most feminist cartoon ever made. The girls have personalities that range from tomboy to cutesy to braniac and the villians are as multidimensional as the ...

  • TV: The Venture Bros.

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    The Best Show on TV

    Again, I am frustrated with the CS review--its inexcusable to have factual errors on the official review page (Dr. Venture is addicted to diet pills, not painkillers. Duh!) Regardless, absolutely ...

  • TV: Robot Chicken

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Too Funny for the Corn-Fed Kiddies

    I love this show--absolutley adore it. I must admit my kids have caught a couple of episodes with me and they laugh so hard they nearly bust a gut. In the end, however, I have had to explain topics ...

  • TV: Dexter's Laboratory

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    A SHow that Encourages Brains over Brawn

    Again, I am shocked at the official review posted by common sense media. Dexter's Lab puts a scientific spin on sibling rivalry between supergenius baby brother Dexter and his flitty, dense and ...

  • TV: The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    Subversive and Silly

    I was shocked to read the reviews posted by commonsense media for this program. First, the show is no scarier than your typical Brother's Grimm, after which it is modelled. The anti-heroine, Mandy, ...
