Two fun shows, involving the return of the Silver Shell, and Krackus actually doing something right.

9.0

By jboice0, Oct 23, 2008

These were two fun cartoons which advanced the show's plot slightly. In the first, its the Sadie Hawkins dance (they still do those?) and Sheldon wants Jenny to invite him. She won't of course, but she would invite the Silver Shell if he were interested. Sheldon sees his opportunity to finally win Jenny's heart. Things go OK until the Space Bikers from Orion show up. Then Sheldon, being Sheldon makes some decisions which mess everything up. I rather liked the scene where Jenny asks the Silver Shell out, as well as the reactions afterwards. The second episode is better than it sounds, Krackus has invented a disassembler device that actually works on Jenny. Sheldon, Tuck, and Brad work together with Jenny to try to locate her parts and put her back together before Krackus can inform Vexus of his success. There are lots of fun little throwaway gags here-I liked the one with Tuck in the jet car, and the quartet fighting Ivan in the castle. So to sum up, two cartoons that advance the Sheldon/Jenny & Cluster storylines, that are also quite funnymoreless
