New Nickelodeon cartoons about two step siblings spending the summer together.

I should have done this earlier.

I watched the most recent episodes on their premiere.

"Sad, Single, and Stranded" was a nice episode.

Jack is still trying to adjust to his new surroundings when Will and Min decide to help him find an interesting story. Meanwhile, Halmoni accidentally inspires a still-jealous Lily to take revenge on Jack and ends up accidentally messing up his clothes with her boba drink.

I don't really have much to say about it except that we seem to have gotten a little bottle episode. It's an interesting choice to have one this early, but I do think it works well with furthering the exploration of the half-siblings' dynamic just a little further. Meanwhile, both stories had plenty of funny moments that all came together towards the end. Most of the episode is carried by the dialogue, which is still in good form (and Jean Yoon's Halmoni still gets an anarchic flair). I also liked the soundtrack, especially the *Law & Order* pastiche towards the episode's climax. I suspect we'll get more. The ending was a nice wrap-up with a nice bonding moment between the kids. It's another sign that the two of them will be getting closer together.

Don't really have anything else to say about it, but it was a good and short episode. I would give it a 9/10.

"A Waste of a Perfect Summer Day" was another great episode.

Lily feels bored having to listen to her father's "tip tapes" (on actual cassette tapes) on running the Groom & Board instead of going outside to play on what she calls a perfect summer day. But when Jack wants to explore the town, Lily takes advantage and goes on an adventure with him, leaving William and Min to make sundubu with Halmoni.

This episode introduces us to Canyon Valley, and sure enough, it's a town that is very much a character. I say Sammie's Sammies and Beaver Bend Creek are the two significant locations for me (though the Canyon Valley Museum does bring back memories for me). The former seems to be something like the Soup Nazi's place from 'Seinfeld' if it was run by a pirate. But Beaver Bend Creek…it's like coming back to 'Craig of the Creek', with the wild kids and wild stuff and everything. I love that show, man, and I was so happy to see it inspire another, because that show did not deserve to die. I hope we see more of it soon. The ending is poignant in that it underlines that it's the siblings' bonds that will make the summer special, even if Lily won't always see it. Meanwhile, the sundubu plot definitely feels like a lot of care was observed in making it (like in cuisine). It's a pretty fun exploration about parents being concerned about a stepchild's tastes, especially with stuff like Korean food, underscored by the irony that a kid like him has developed a taste for the exotic, which honestly hits me as a third culture kid. It really shows how important it is to keep an open mind, because things are more likely to work out than not, at least in my opinion. It's subtle, but I think it's a lesson to learn about these days.

It's a rich and enjoyable episode. I give it a 10/10.
