Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile (2022)
Should've been straight to DVD
This movie was so bad my 5yr old asked me why I made him watch it. Our theatre was full of kids and even the fart jokes fell flat. The budget was obviously low but that's no excuse for something to be this boring. At one point the "bad guy", a neighbor that has 100% legitimate complaints, threatens to call the school to get the family evicted. The school. It's obvious that this is aimed at younger children, like preschool, but it's live acting so there's no chance they would actually watch it. The first act of the movie is spent establishing how miserable every character is. The 2nd act is spent showing the audience how perfect life is with a singing, dumpster diving crocodile. The conflict isn't even established until 3rd act and it's resolved almost immediately. Absolutely dismal experience. Nothing redeeming or positive about it. Watch literally anything else. Save yourself.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
Essential
I did not watch the show when it aired. Only recently began the series. It's abundantly clear that The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett are live action additions to this series. Once you get beyond the plastic style of animation it is an excellent show.
Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures (2013)
Terrible but my kids loves it
This might be one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Nothing clever, or unique about it. First episode, is tolerable but after that, everything goes downhill. The storytelling, the animation, voice acting and your brain cells all begin to get worse after the first episode.
My preschooler loves it and that makes sense because it appears to have been created by preschoolers.
Stargate Universe (2009)
It's rough at best
Everyone in this show is inept and unqualified except Dr.Rush and literally no one listens to him. They bicker and argue from the moment the show starts in some feeble attempt to make it "real". So much of this show is just so... tedious and unnecessary.
The handheld camera moves/cuts/zooms/focuses like there's a camera crew on board. It's filmed like The Office and it is terribly annoying. They even go so far to have a confessional cam. It's an embarrassing addition to the Stargate franchise.
Stargate SG-1 (1997)
Excellence
Absolutely the best modern sci-fi show. 10 seasons of aliens, action, suspense, humor, and drama creatively woven throughout the galaxy. Complete perfection.
Stargåte Infinity (2002)
Stargate-ish
The Bad:
This series has almost nothing to do with Stargate. It's corny, stereotypical and campy. If you're wanting to expand your personal Stargate world you'll be disappointed. It seems like a show that already had all the creative decisions made and then they got the license to say the words "Stargate Command".
The Good:
My kid loves it. There's action and a story in each episode. The animation and progession is slow and simple enough for him to follow. Now he pretends to travel by Stargate. This a show obviously not targeted at the movie/SG1/A audience. It's for kids and should be watched and rated as such.
The Totally Radical:
The theme song. Tasty licks and riffs on the guitar throughout.
