Ok, I checked out the series premiere on Wednesday night. I didn't have much
else to watch (thank you, NBA, for screwing around with my social life.
Here's what I thought of it.
"Monkey See, Doggie Doo": This was silly to a fault. The narration (Tom
Kenny
taking over for the late Ernie Anderson) was inspired by, in my opinion,
"Rocky & Bullwinkle" (the late William Conrad) and "Batman" (Bill Dozier),
but
came off as tres lame. Why make Mojo Jojo an Asian simian? Lame finish.
"Mommy Fearest": By the numbers girlfriend/stepmother from hell BS. Sedusa's
hair is similar to the
comic book heroine Medusa (from the INHUMANS, as if you don't know), but
Sedusa comes off as a
lame villain, beaten by the Professor (Kenny again) when the PGs can't stop
her.
Point of coolness, contrary to popular opinion: the return of the swirling
star logo. Cool!
Grade: B-.
