Total DramaRama

I like Total Drama (well not the later seasons) as well as its Ridonculous Race spinoff. Apparently, the original show as well as RR are cancelled forever because according to Tom McGillis, reality shows like TD are hard to market these days. Okay, that's not true.

In order for Fresh TV to fulfill Canadian content laws, they greenlit Total DramaRama, which is like those baby spin-off shows like A Pup Named Scooby Doo or Baby Looney Tunes. There's no real drama, and no challenges either.

I thought the idea was stupid, but I watched some episodes and honestly its not that bad. It's really funny, especially the episode with the chicken. The characters are all likable too. But they give too much screen-time to Owen, Izzy, Duncan, Courtney, and Jude. I'd like to see episodes about Bridgette, Cody, and Harold (especially since Harold is one of my favorite TD characters). Plus, the character designs are adorable.

The theme song is awful, but luckily it doesn't last long. I think if you imagine that this doesn't involve TD characters, you can enjoy it more since its more than your typical baby spinoff.

I personally find this show to be, very annoying and unnecessary. This also fully ruined the Total Drama franchise for me.

This show has a lot of problems under its belt. Starting off, I don't see the actual purpose to this show existing other than to profit off the younger demographic that prefers loud, colorful shows like this, no wonder this show has been so god damn successful so far.

Next off, all of the characters have been reduced to a singular stereotype, while some characters may break out of character occasionally, they've all been reduced to those common stereotypes you'd find in a poorly managed show produced by Viacom. While I will admit that the animation is smooth and all, its been the same quality its been since the inception of the Total Drama Franchise. Also, did I mention how annoying the show's music is? the music is basically just sound effects of chanting toddlers making annoying sounds mixed with a beat, and I personally cannot stand it.

The show's humor also needs a lot of work, the humor is low-brow and juvenile to the highest possible degree, while I can admit that show sometimes makes a funny joke, it's usually rare and it only makes me let out a little chuckle.

Overall, I don't like Total Dramarama, and I don't really see it going anywhere far, even if the short-term success the show has had is pulling off, it's going to eventually backfire. I suggest skipping the show. (also how the hell did this already get greenlight a second season?)

I saw the first episode and my only question is why. Why is this a show? Why are they infants? Why do they know each other when there is tons of evidence that they only know each other because of a reality TV show? I give this a 6/10 because it was kind of funny, even though it makes ZERO SENSE WHATSOEVER!!!!! When they announced they were making a new season of Total Drama, this is not what I had envisioned. It might get better later is all I can hope for.

This is show is dumb Trash, but its ironic that the black guy, the one in charge of the daycare is named "Chef." and wounds up running a daycare. I feel sorry for Chef because he has to put with those snotty kids. My mom doesn't like when this Total DramaRama is on. She says its Dumb Trash and all colorful words.

As a huge fan of TDI as a kid, it hurts to see it come to this. Even if you watch the show from the view of just a new show, it's not good. It kind of makes me feel uncomfortable.
