Hello, all. Even though I write all of these posts from the heart, it’s rare when I just sit down and, as the old-school ’70s folk used to say, rap to you guys. I thought I’d outline the direction in which Moniqueblog is going: This website has always been about entertainment, and it’ll stay...

Just yesterday I wrote a post on how Cartoon Network is keeping up their alternative cartoon line-up with the additions of Regular Show and Sym-Bionic Titan. Well, it appears they’re getting even bolder by greenlighting MAD, a cartoon sketch show based on the same weird, satiric humor the magazine had. I’m not sure if I...

I’m glad that Cartoon Network hasn’t taken the power of cartoons for granted, what with their live-action shows. I can’t wait for Regular Show and Sym-Bionic Titan, two shows that seem to be continuing the trend of smart, witty, older than Y7 audience-aimed cartoons. Regular Show, created by J.G. Quintel, the former creative director...

I didn’t review this show when it first came on, mostly because I was perplexed by it. It was a good perplexity, but still, I wasn’t sure how to take the revamping of the tried-and-true (at least most of the time) setup of Scooby-Doo. I may be a long-time Scooby-Doo fan, but I did...

With the inaugural post of “Hadji Demystified,” it is fitting that I outline the basis of this on-going series because there is a lot to cover. Before I get into my spill, I don’t want to sound like I’m completely hating on WB and the JQ:TRA team’s work on the series, especially with their...

Who’s going to indulge their inner magic nerd and go to Universal Studios’ Magical World of Harry Potter? Well, if you’re like me, you probably wish there were more theme parks based on awesome places from movies, Disney Parks not included (but even Disney missed a few movie places that would make killer parks)....

I think it’s safe to say that practically every kid growing up in the 1990s watched “Hey Arnold” on Nickelodeon. During-and after-its run on Nick, it has been hailed as a success in storytelling and still has fans who (im)patiently await its return. I had a chance to converse with Jim Lang, the composer...
