Reviews for Volume Two of Rescue Rangers, A Sesame Street Christmas Carol, Olive the Other Reindeer, and the latest issue of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories.
I think it's funny you're so down on Chip and Monty, as I loved those characters as a kid, but I bet if I watched these episodes again, I would've thought the same thing. I have to admit, my partiality to Chip came from always playing him in the Rescue Rangers game, and my friend was Dale, so I was a Chip/Gadget shipper simply because Chip's victory was my victory. Dale always made me laugh (Lemon Pie-o), but I thought he was an idiot, and I never blamed Chip for being a dick because Dale was so stupid and distracting. I could be wrong, though. I liked Monterey Jack's adventurous attitude, and his cheese thing was funny, but you're right, they are pretty stupid not to take necessary precautions against that sort of thing.
Needless to say, if I ever get around to re-watching this series, I'll have quite the reaction to it.
Remember when Disney cartoons weren't so utterly humorless that they could actually have villains saying lines like "You can't ever expect to be taken seriously as an evil genius

Monty has always bugged me but Chip wasn't this annoying in volume one for some reason. I think he only became a REAL jerk as the series went on. There were times Chip bugged me on the first set but he at least usually learned his lesson at the end. Here he's just a butthole and never gets called on it.
I think Gadget was actually hotter than her doppelganger in Double O Chipmunk and Mind Your Cheese and Qs. She can REALLY pull off smokin' outfits. :D
So Chip is Robin? I'm sure Gadget can pull off smokin' outfits, but I seem to remember her doppleganger getting physical with Chip, which I liked (or as much as a ten year old could).
Haven't seen Olive. I want to, but every time it's on, I just say I'll catch it when they rerun it again, so I never watch it.
Chip is about a hundred times more annoying than Robin. At least Robin has issues and you can sympathize when he goes off the deep end. There is absolutely no reason Chip should act the way he does.
I only spent eight bucks. I plan on eventually getting every Sesame Street DVD there is so I would have gotten it eventually. I just wish I had gotten a better DVD first. The story IS crap. Elmo Saves Christmas is MUCH better. What station did you see this special on?
I like the Postman too. It's nice to have a truly hissable baddie in a Christmas special. I love that he didn't learn his lesson.
My computer's too slow to actually watch anything on it. I don't know if I'll watch the Big Bird thing. Shows like Deal Or No Deal are dumbing down America.
My feelings of Martha Stewart are ambivilant. Yes, she's a b****, but there are MUCH worse people out there who do far more harm. I don't care about her one way or the other.
