"Superb"

By Half-Ghost, May 18, 2006

Both episodes were great. In Radio Bernie, Bernie decides to make a radio station staring him. Nobody listens to him so Corneil pretends to be someone else and says on the phone his radio station was voted the number one radio station of the year. Bernie buys high quality radio equipment. Corneil uses the equipment to be on the radio and likes it. He makes sure Bernie won't use it by doing various things. Bernie finds out the truth when one of Corneil's plans to get rid of him fails. Bernie agrees to let Corneil help but accidentily turns the radio equipment on and insults the listeners. In Close Encounters of The Alien Kind Bernie believes in aliens which gets him laughed at. He gets Corneil to help him scare Romeo. Romeo changes the story which makes him even more popular. Bernie tells everyone to come with him to the park to see the alien. When they are at the park looking at Corneil in the alien costume Romeo chases Corneil trying to burn him. Bernie protects him for a little but Romeo pushes him away. Corneil uses light to blind and trip Romeo. He burns the ground creating a shape. The next day the FBI find Bernie and take him with them because he pretended to understand the alien(Corneil). I still enjoy watching these episodes.moreless

"Perfect"

By uberito, Apr 29, 2006

What makes "Radio Bernie" so great, is that Corneil finally has satisfaction that he can speak to others over the air without people knowing who he is. Bernie decides to make a radio show since no one listens to him, and when Corneil makes Bernie believe he is popular on the air, Bernie goes all out getting new equipment. You'd just have to finish watching the episode to see the funny antics in it.
The second episode is when Bernie tries to make others think he has met an alien after everytone made fun of him. He of course gets poor Corneil to be the alien with speghetti hair. Another classic example of this shows great storylines.moreless
