January 12th, 2007
Premieres at 9:30pm [Deciding on a consistent time might help ratings huh]
Reruns at 8:30pm

Operation: T.R.I.C.Y.C.L.E.
Tommy loves Numbuh 2's crappy, old tricycle but gets laughed at when the other kids see him riding it. Using his 2x4 technology expertise, Tommy rebuilds it into the "best bike in the Whole World."

Notes
Later Tonight - Reruns! Yay! ...oh and The Big Field Trip Movie for those of us like myself who missed it.
Next Week - Class of 3000 :sad: and Kids Next Door. :anime:
Musical Guest -Either they're done with it, or they couldn't find anyone to perform. Can't really blame them.
Apparently this debuted a few days ago on CN Video. I don't use the service, so I don't care.
Third week in a row it's in a different time-slot than the previous. Big mistake Cartoon Network.

This is one of the best episodes i ever seen
"It's pink!" XD
I like the ending and it's good to see Chad again and see more of The Tommy

[DocForbin]

This was actually a pretty good ep tonight. I liked the pastiches of Lance Armstrong (Numbuh Ten Speed, and his first name's Lance to boot!) and Mr. Magoo (Numbuh 20-20). Did anyone catch the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends ref Numbuh Four made when he said "Foster's Home for Loser Bikes"? :D

Overall, a good ep.

[ShadowGUN]

Look like the writer of this episode is a fan of Stephen King's Christine. Good episode. Poor #2 he has to ride a tricycle from now on.

As far as Christine homages with evil tricycles go The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy already did it before and they did it better. Still it was a good episode. I like the Kids Next Door episodes where the "Villain" is not doing anything evil.

Of course Chad is only 13 which is too young for ether a job or a driver's license. If he was sixteen then all of sector B would be Teens too.

[Dr.Pepper]

It was a good episode. I didn't get the Chad having a job part when he is like 13 (though he looks 16). I liked the Foster's referance and the fact it was the sequel to op. T.R.I.K.E.

[Freedom Fighter]

Eh, I don't know. I liked the premise, but overall this episode turned out to be really boring IMO. Sure, there were bits like Kuki keep thinking they were throwing her a birthday party (accentuated by Wally's "For the last time, your birthday isn't for another a year and a half!" - a great reference to how slowly the kids age in this show) and Wally's 'Foster's Home for Lame Bicycles' scoff at the end of the first act.

But overall, while it was interesting seeing Tommy take what was essentially a little girls' bike and turn it into the Tommymobile, which eventually went crazy... I can't really place my finger on it, but I couldn't get into the episode despite its attempts to make it feel all epic with the impending destruction of the Bike Hub bit.

"Operation: T.R.I.C.Y.C.L.E.": 2.5/5.
