The Professor modifies his automobile into K.A.R.R.: Kinetic Automatic Robotic Roadster, which is not to be confused with K.A.R.R.: Knight Automated Roving Robot from the 80s show Knight Rider. *Cough* Anyway, the PPGs immediately become jealous of K.A.R.R...for some reason...and then discover...*gasp!*...that the Professor's relationship with his new creation is unhealthy. Now get ready for this unique twist! K.A.R.R. is evil, and it's manipulating the Professor to do its bidding! I know, I know. You didn't see that coming. Oh wait, that's the same kind of thing that happened in "Mommy Fearest" and "Cat Man Do." And the idea of a possessive and evil car has been done before, too. The difference is that those other stories had a more logical explanation why the antagonist was acting the way he/she/it was.
The PPGs are so powerful, they could level the city if they wanted to. Why are they afraid of an automobile? What's it going to do? Leak oil on them? If this was a show involving mortal characters, I'd understand their apprehension. For cry-not-loud, why the cloak-and-dagger routine? Just smash the darn thing to bits!
Ah, there were a few bright spots. First, a couple of quotes:
Buttercup: Fighting Robot?! For what?! Professor: So all the nerds will think I'm c-o-o-l.
K.A.R.R: I'm sorry Blossom, I'm afraid I can't do that.Second, the resolution to the problem was very interesting. The Professor's treatment of Mojo in the PPG Movie could be described as neglectful. In this episode, the Professor and PPGs discover K.A.R.R. has the same kinds of feelings. The "villain" is pacified by giving it a robotic surrogate father. It's nice to know that I'm not crazy when I notice these things. So, here's an extra half-star to this otherwise two-star episode.
Two and a half stars

Heh, I liked that episode... I'm a car freak! and I remember the 'Knight Industries Two Thousand' (aka glorified 85' Pontiac Trans Am)
I half expected Professor Utonium to be wearing a red T-shirt, black leather jacket, and blue jeans just like David Hasselhoff did on Knight Rider...
BTW there is no way you can really modify a Studebaker Avanti, it would defile its value as a collectible car. |

Oh yeah, REAL soap-opera :roll:; I still need to see this one, but from what I hear, it's not worth requesting. No rush here. |
