As much as I understand that it's a cartoon for children, I just can't figure why all of the characters (excluding the only 2 humans) have monster truck tires. Not even just wheels & tires, but the massive tires that are used in monster truck events. Why does and elephant have 4 monster truck tires but a gorilla has 2 rear tires and 2 tires up front with hands? Why the hell does a spider have monster truck tires? Why is Blaze an actual truck with 8 year old human driver, but his immediate friends/crew consist of a dinosaur head/truck hybrid, a cowboy hat truck in pink, a daredevil truck with hat and cape, and a cheetah/truck hybrid? All of those questions were asked by my nephew, who was 6 at the time - and he could understand some things, like the characters from Cars & Planes movies, but the biggest question was always why on Blaze & the Monster machines every character had massive tires. So I had him stop watching the show, and I'm glad too because every time Blaze would yell he needs some speed to win I would always hear a large sniff and imagine white mystery powder trailing from blazes intake. Blazing speed must be needed to make everything with giant tires.

Alter Ego has to be one of the most dangerous shows ever made. Not in the traditional sense of danger, it's more along the lines of involuntary muscle contractions and spasms from cringing after watching several performances. Each Alter Ego looks virtually the same - hot pink hair, electric blue skin, yellow eyes, with an equally blinding wardrobe causes the viewer to have severe headaches, which is further exacerbated with a karaoke-esqe "performance" from a person in a MoCap suit. It's like American Idol, without talented, attractive, contestants. And the judges are the worst, because they deserve better - Nick Lachey, Alanis Morissette, Will.i.am, and last and least, grimes. Each judge had a career in music beyond one-hit-wonders, so for them into judge a singing competition with contestants that are not actually there it makes you wonder how they qualify for the job? When a person can animate a more believable character through game mods on a home computer, how can they really pick the best performer when they gave NOT actually seen them in action? So if you want to shake violently with douche chills and the aforementioned power cringing, then Alter Ego is for you! But if you don't hate your sensory organs, then skip Alter Ego and watch Alter Egos alter ego show, The Voice!
