Hey everyone! I'll be doing Cartoon of the Week for awhile now. I was watching Popeye on Boomerang today and saw this cartoon, entitled "I Wanna Be a Life Guard," and decided to make it Cartoon of the Week.

In this cartoon, Popeye and Bluto see that a job is available to be a life guard. Both of them want the job instantly when they see Olive Oyl. The both audition for the job and begin to compete to impress Olive and the other girls. Competition later turns into fighting when Bluto severely hurts Popeye. So, Popeye calls for his spinach and it gets rolled to him and he beats up Bluto.

This one wasn't so bad. It was better than a lot than I have seen and since I usually don't watch Popeye, I enjoyed it. The Popeye vs. Bluto fight scene was the best part as it is for most episodes. Olive didn't do much, which is a good thing, but the worst part for me was the singing, even though there wasn't much of it, I really don't like cartoons with a lot of singing.

I rememebr this ep when Popeye was being shown on Adult Swim for a while. Wish it was still back on!
Anyway, I did like the singing and of course the Popeye eating the spinich to defeat Bluto was the best part.
Yeah, Olive really never has too much to do except not be able to make up her mind until the very last minute.
This episode was a lot of fun to see, and like all the Popeyes it contains the message, 'Never underestimate the little guy!'
A really good ep, I give it an 8.
