This is one of those things nobody asked for but somebody has to ask to cancel. Actually, there was never a reason to exist in the first place. The original Blake Holsey High, a Jim Rapsas creation, had an average 1.3 million viewers in the U. S. and Canada every week. The first short of "Echoes" had only 6,000 viewers and the last one 1,600. But let's say something about the production itself.
Where do I begin? Let's say the cast. Mr. Rapsas, the original cast of Blake Holsey High was something that happens once in a lifetime. Emma Taylor-Isherwood, Shadia Simmons, Jeff Douglas, a dream of a cast. They had magic. Magic, Mr. Rapsas, the kind that only a person who followed the show in the 2000's could perceive. Instead, "Echoes" features in its first two shorts a couple of George Romero's school dropouts who give the misleading impression that someone's going to kill the other at any moment. Seriously, when one of them walks through the room, the floor begins to crack like it was going to break into pieces.
And what about the writing? The original show was nominated twice for an Emmy Award for best writing of a children's show episode. And now you give us things like the short #4 starring a guy who babbles the most boring summer camp sci-fi story ever, with you, Mr. Rapsas, as the interviewer who doesn't dare to show the face. Every script feels like one of those fanfiction crap stories that flood reddit, wattpad, you name it.
And the manufacturing. "Echoes" looks like a failed high school sociology project who deserves a D, for Pete's sake. What a shame, Mr. Rapsas. The best thing you can do is to wipe this thing out of the internet. There's no need to try to ruin your own work. Because not even you can ruin the memories of what you acheived from 2002-2006. Not even you. Thank God.
