Does TZ have an image ready for JL, yet?

Can you please make a LATOJL icon as well as a Camp Lazlo? (Slightly off-topic).

Was'nt able to see the third act, but what I was able to see was great. Sketter was hilarious, especially his first scene, that poor cult leader. The Juniper and Marcus interaction was interesting, favorite scene though was the the pan of the rib shack with zombie's limbs going everywhere.

Zombie 1 (After knocking Zombie 2's head off and onto the grill.): Sorry.

Zombie 2 ( Whose decapatied head is frying on the grill): Eh, don't worry about.

An definite imoprovment over last week B-.

I'm still trying to get into the series. That mummy thing was funny, I guess, but right now it seems odd to me. Are we going to be seeing wacky things like that commercial all the time? I don't know how well this mixes with the action considering we see a lot of June's strength and speed fighting off all these guys.

Still going to stick with it, though.

TV Critic and former publisher of a David Letterman newsletter (Late Show News) reviews Juniper lee Here (http://www.tvbarn.com/archives/029516.php)

[Marinite]

Apparently they're airing the episodes out of order (this is suppose to be the 4th according to TV Tome) Anyway, interesting series, but this show seems like the type you need to watch more than a season to get into.

And despite popular belief, the theme song is catchy and addicting as heck.

[tucsoncoyote]

Oh man, this one was down right hilarious... first off Ray Ray conjuring up a Worm monster in the bathroom toilet.. and Poor June having to fight it off (Ray Ray I feel could put the Possible Family Twins to shame here..(Jim and Tim Possible, Evil.. Ray Ray .. Demonic..)

but let's get back on track.. A 3000 Year old mummy that sounds like a used Car Salesman that is opening up a Franchise of Waffles and Ribs houses..(Can we say Blatant McDonald's Plug Here?) but when June has to face down Skeeter..(Who in their right mind would call themselves Skeeter?) well let's just say the Zombies and everything else was down right funny (Then throw Ray Ray and Monroe (The Char-pei) into the mix, and you got Hilarity..(I give extra Points for the Blatant Star Wars References. and the Fire extinguisher Joke was again another laugh riot..)

All in all this Juniper was better then the previous one, and i have to say June's definitely "In the Zone" here.. believe me this time we saw Less of the other characters but yes June an Marcus.. they sort of make a cute couple..(Though I also had to laugh when Monroe trashes June's Homework..

all in all, a Great episode.. I give this one 4.5 out of 5 stars..(I hope Next Week's Episode can match or Equal this one.. (And I hope Skeeter returns.. Tarnation! He needs more airplay!)

This was a much better episode, and was practically enjoyable from beginning to end. Even the theme song is growing on me. There are only two things that are bothering me about this show.

1) Juniper complaining about everything of her job... how every week someone digs a dead person from their grave, how bad guy creatures always have dungeons. It's fun and all... but just how many things can one person complain about before they run out of things to complain about?

2) This is a big one for me. I love that Juniper's kick-butt and all, but right now believeability is a big caveat right now. She has the power to jump onto and leap off of rooftops, fight off that many creatures, AND punch through... what was it... 200 feet of concrete to burst through the floor? I'm just wondering if this is all her powers that were given to her by her grandma, or is it a mix of that and independent learning of martial arts? If any show needed an origin story, this one does. Until I see one, I'll have a hard time believing some of the things Juniper can do. I took off a full point off this episode because of that.

I'm giving this episode an 8 out of 10. I'm really enjoying this show now... but that whole 'believe-ability' issue is really an issue for me. One that needs to be addressed, and quickly.

Ummmmmmmm....it's a cartoon....it's not really real........

[Quarter-Dragon]

Have to say I agree with FreedomFighter about the latter. Personally I'm hoping that all the super strength and mad skillz are actually being augmented by her bracelet/mystical pager. Oh, and Ray Ray does rule, don't knw if he's up to Jim and Tim's levels yet, will just have to see.;)

Well just wait till Ray Ray Conjures up a High Level Demon from the Abyss.. then we'll all know..

(Believe me if this kid can conjure up a Worm in a bathroom toilet.. he's definitely got one thing on his mind.. More mischief then Loki, Coyote, Puck, and all the Mythological Mischief Makers all Rolled into one..)

And Speaking of Loki, I shudder to think what might happen when Loki meets Ray Ray head on.. Can we say Complete and Utter Chaos?

Ummmmmmmm....it's a cartoon....it's not really real........You're looking at it from the wrong 'believe-ability' angle. I know it's a cartoon. That's not what my argument is going for.

My angle is this... there are superheroes like Superman who have powers and can fly, or punch tons of people/creatures/objects/etc. in a day, jump onto rooftops from the ground. And, though I don't really want to bring in another KP comparison... Kim has her gadgets and cheerleading. Granted, it's not 100% plausible, but it's believable enough to not matter to me.

All I'm asking for is an explanation to Juniper's ability. Did she learn martial arts? Does the bracelet give her all of these powers? Or did her grandma teach her these abilities? Or maybe it's a combination of them all...

Juniper pummeled a lot of monsters in that dungeon. That's believable enough for me. But between the rooftops and punching through that much concrete flooring with no explanation? Yeah... that's a bit surreal for my tastes.

Hopefully either we'll learn the origin of Juniper's powers real soon, or they'll refrain from putting her in situations where she has to do inhuman things until they do.

[Quarter-Dragon]

I just watched it again and noticed two things about Ray Ray. First off he didn't "summon" the worm, he just decided to throw some potions and blue crud and orange jelly that vibrates in the toilet because he was bored; and yet he doesn't seem to be as oblivious and mischevious as Jim and Tim. Yeah looking back at the last sentence might make you wonder if I'm certifiably insane*, but hear me out.

When I say oblivious/mischevious I mean that Ray Ray just might pause and think about what he's doing before he takes apart, I don't know, the hydraulic tubing of a plane he's riding in that is tens of thousands of feet in the air. Despite his whole "DO THAT AGAIN!" mind set, Ray Ray seems to not be a complete and total idiot. Not that I'm saying the tweebs are, I'm just saying that he's slightly less focused on driving his sister crazy and that there is a slightly larger serious side to him (the whole thing with the mummy being on TV for example). While on the other hand, the tweebs spend almost all their time either torturing their sister or designing their next doomsday device. There's also the small fact that if Ray Ray wants to beat out the supreme mischief makers he's going to have to deal with the fact that not only are they twins, but their both genius's also.

So I'm just going to have to wait and see. I can definitely see that he has the potential, but we'll just have to seee if he's able to live up to it.

*No worries, I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.:D
And yeah, i am a student of t-shirts;)

[NozeNuggets]

Good show tonight. Who'd expect Adam Wylie and Jeff Bennett?

[Prism]

Pretty good episode. Oh and I'd say Juniper's powers are genetic combined wih training considering that RayRay can also see and talk beings from the netherworld as well. The bracelet may amplify her powers but it still seems genetic.

[Numbuh 4]

I don't usually like anything cowboy related. But this time I laughed. Hard.
5/5

...I don't like Ray Ray. He's not really funny aside from that conversation with Marcus.

:shrug:

[Swonker]

This episode was pretty good, but I doubt Skeeter's coming back considering he turned into dust. You never know, though.;)
