The Christmas Experiment 2015: Hours 29+30: That's So Not In My Demographic

Time for more of stuff that is outrageously outside of my demographic.

Girl Meets World: So, this could also be called the Nostalgia Episode. A sequel series to Boy Meets World, a sitcom from the 90s, the parents from the original along with Ryder Strong's character, Shaun, are here for the holiday. The main plot revolves around Riley, the daughter of that series's Cory and Topanga, feeling inadequate because Shaun barely acknowledges her. Also, Cory's mom is terrible. The overall plot seems to end up being that Shaun was tired of seeing everyone having kids but him. Personally, I could care less that some of my friends have kids but that's just me.

The Fairly Odd Parents: Christmas Every Day. One of the episodes where Timmy makes a wish and it ruins the world. Okay, that's a lot of episodes. God, Timmy is a terrible child. It's not quite a case of Christmas repeating everyday. It's a case where every day is actually Christmas. This, of course, does raise the question of why don't people stop observing Christmas but whatever.

Anyway, the spirits of the other Holidays decide to kill Santa. This leads to a fight sequence that's actually kind of cute and inventive. Too bad so much of the rest of the episode is so shrill.

Nickolodeon's Ho Ho Holiday Special: So, ummm, I have no clue here. There are a ton of Nick shows I will never watch. Apparently all of the stars got invited to a party. Here's the thing, I don't know if they're in character or just playing versions of themselves. Almost everyone is annoying and they're being held captive by someone in a giant house. I'm assuming everyone has traits from their shows. I really don't care.

There are also all these random sketches in the middle as well. I wonder if someone was trying to apply the old celebrity Christmas Specials to a bunch of pre-packaged child celebrities that were not born but distilled from pods beneath the old Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studion Florida.

Also, the villain is Manny from Modern Family for whatever reason. It's kind of random and also has moments of hanging a lampshade on everything. It's all rather terrible and needs to never be shown again.

Notable Commercials: How is Kidz Bop still a thing?

Non-Viewing Thoughts: I wonder how long it takes to make a gingerbread house? It might be worth exploring someday.

Late Christmas Ideas: The last hour of my life back. Barring that, a good chance I never have to find out who any of these horrible children are.

Tally:
Mountain Dews left: 9
Amps left: All Gone
Coffee Left: All Gone
Pumpkin Pie Left: 1/4th left
Sanity Rating: (1 being A Quiet Night of Caroling, 10 being A Star-Studded Special with 5 Celebrity Guest Stars): 7
