The Northside Show
"The Northside Show" is an American/Canadian musical sketch comedy TV sitcom created by M[r]s. Lynn Jackson and developed by Nashville-based Jaysen Thomkins and Ross Bollinger (creator of Pencilmation). Three characters named Disney (voiced by Derek Savage), Ninny (voiced by Jayden Sosa) and SkullMan (voiced by Micah McGonigal) appear occasionally, and starting with season 11, Yoshi (voiced by BanX) was introduced.

Summary
It's about a school in Brooklyn. California shark Chad moved in recently.

Why it Rocks!

 * 1) This series is AWESOME. The setting is portrayed as realistically as possible, and it gives a vibe on what high school is like.
 * 2) It's a major improvement over NBMS Live (especially season 8).
 * 3) Several characters are very likeable:
 * 4) *Chad himself. He is a very uplifting and optimistic character, and in season 10, he is very cute.
 * 5) *Chad's friend, Jordan. His teen talk is very accurate with today.
 * 6) *Chad's friend, Maddie. She is a nice girl.
 * 7) *Mrs. Brediger. She's a nice woman who almost never gets angry.
 * 8) *And several others.
 * 9) It airs an episode every single day on NickSprout.
 * 10) The songs were greatly performed, and sometimes restructured.
 * 11) It's used as a framing device for Pencilmation. Several stories are connected with the story and usually, it's Chad who tells the story.
 * 12) Several sketches are well-written and great, including the Garfield quickies (reminiscent to Garfield and Friends' Quickies), Justin & Jabril (who now have their own series), The Zula Patrol songs, and several more.
 * 13) Three characters: Disney, Ninny and SkullMan, who are stick figures from Planet Logo who crash-landed on Earth. Their heads are a Disney logo, a Nintendo logo, and a Scholastic logo. They are awesome characters.
 * 14) The voice acting for the cartoon segments is awesome, especially from Micah McGonigal as SkullMan.
 * 15) Decent voice acting from Rhys Huber as Garfield and Scott Beaudin as Odie.
 * 16) The Yoshi's World segments are very interesting, especially with Tyra Banks (from America's Next Top Model) voicing Yoshi, and the animation being provided by Film Roman.
 * 17) Several likeable episodes:
 * 18) *"Chad & Jordan Go To Boston"
 * 19) *"Bird Feeding"
 * 20) *"Shantti's Vengeance"
 * 21) Phenomenal acting.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some characters can get unlikeable at times, like Mr. Cox, Mason, Brayden, and even Chad himself.
 * 2) It tries to be as faithful to The Clyde Erwin Show and NBMS Live as possible, but it's just hard, since it lacks the charm.
 * 3) *Its non-canon Pornhub spinoff Emma & Michael is absolutely dreadful.
 * 4) The Pencilmation cartoons can be seen as unnecessary.
 * 5) The platypus always getting chased can get annoying at times.
 * 6) Some of the songs are too much on Kidz Bop levels, and sometimes, they're changed completely. The fact that pre-existing pop songs are used as background music occasionally makes it worse.
 * 7) Several unlikeable episodes:
 * 8) *"The 2-Week Death Trap"
 * 9) *"One Male, Two Male, Black Male, Blue Male"
 * 10) *"Ze Ghoti Whisperer"
 * 11) *"Chad Gets in Dead Meat"
 * 12) *"Woodberrys and Washingtons"
 * 13) *"Alien Invasion"
 * 14) *"Locked!"
 * 15) The puppet segments are unnecessary, and all they do is pad the runtime of the series. Plus, their puppets do not translate well to the drawn characters.
 * 16) Season 11 mainly relied on "furry" episodes, which isn't bad, but when you do it too much, it becomes unlikeable.
 * 17) Amanda Soha's take on Nermal sounds hardly anything like Jason Marsden's or Desiree Goyette's. It sounds way too young and feminine, like Chirp from Peep and the Big Wide World or Wendy Testaburger from South Park.

The Game Reaper (NBMS Live!)
"The Game Reaper" is a syndicated episode from season 8. In this episode, many people are warned to stay away from game traps and not to act like animals.

Plot
The episode starts in space with the Nintendo Space Station. Down on Earth, Chad is enjoying cleaning desks, when Ms. Young breaks in the room, startling the kids, warning them about game traps. Mrs. Coy doesn’t want to listen, and instead reads a manual. She tells Chad about them, scaring him. After realizing that they won’t get him if he listens to Ms. Young. He gets back to work, but his friend Michael distracts him, convincing him that there’s a Gaming Convention called Player Expo. Chad wants to go but tells Michael that he can’t leave during school hours. Michael tells him the difference between leaving and taking a break, and Chad believes him.

Later, Michael shows Chad around, who get suspicious. He notices something odd about the floating games and remembers what Ms. Young said. He warns Michael not to mess with the games because they’re dangerous, but Michael won’t listen, and even listens to music. One of the games yanks Michael up to the mesosphere, scaring Chad because he thinks he lost his friend. When Michael drops down unharmed, Chad is relieved. Michael tells Chad to play with the games like they were balls, and Chad doesn’t recall Ms. Young saying he shouldn’t do that, so he and Michael play catch, baseball, and fight with it. They then hold on to the game and it yanks them up to the mesosphere, with various cuts from the NSS to Earth. They jump down and Mario (Tom Kenny) is angry at Ryuta (H. Jon Benjamin) for not catching anything.

At school, the kids are not learning anything, and Mrs. Coy spots that Chad and Michael are not here. She reports to Ms. Young that “they took a break,” setting off her anger. She uses a radar to detect where the boys are and gets scared when she sees them acting like cats. The games take them before she can and gets sad. She then makes a threat when they land on their feet, unharmed. She chides them, and Michael tells her about it. When he introduces Litton Entertainment, Ms. Young gets mad and warns them that if they don’t stop acting like animals, they’ll be put in a plastic bag of chocolate. She scares Chad straight and makes them promise to stay away from the game traps.

The next day, Chad wants to prove himself loyal by going to class. Michael somehow gets in his way and tells him that he can’t go to class so he can play Mario Kart 8 and pretend he an Michael are dogs. Chad reminds Michael about yesterday, and Michael calls him a chicken, which gets Chad angry. Michael playing MK8 is even more stressful to Chad. He encounters a game trap on his way to school and walks away from it to class.

Ms. Young is about to leave the class, so she gives Chad rules. Then, a distracted Chad hallucinates floating ABC, CBS, The CW, and NBC logos begging him to watch them. After reiterating what Michael told him yesterday, Chad gives in, and says, “Is this seat taken?” and takes a ride.

The logos mess with his mind. Ms. Young tells kids to stop playing a “dog whistle” sound, and when Chad says that he never wants to hear it again, Ms. Young tells him to notify her if he does. The way she says it makes Chad (who was holding back tears) cry so much, he needs to go to the bathroom. He immediately feels better after urinating with his leg up at a fire hydrant.

He wrings his shirt (which was wet from his constant crying) before Ms. Young points out that he has a dog’s tail, and then…

Chad gets tailed, terrified, he runs to his next class. Ms. Kelly, who is selling souvenirs spots Chad acting suspicious. When Chad tells her why he’s late (though possibly lying), he becomes less human. It becomes blatantly obvious what he was doing, and Chad admits what he did and starts crying. He shows Ms. Kelly his tail, and she is not surprised. Chad asks for tips, so Ms. Kelly asks him to take off his shoes (since cats don’t wear shoes). Hesitant at first, he finally does it. He notices that he should go naked but can’t do that in public. Ms. Kelly says she’ll replace him. Chad is confused as to why this is happening to him on a Friday, and Ms. Kelly calls him “Lucky Dog” and says they should change that to “Immature Scaredy Cat.” Then, she summons 2 girls to drag him to the Nintendo Space Station. The floating logos from before (but with wings) grab him and suck him up to the Nintendo Space Station. Chad calls for help, but no one dares, but the logos give away and just take his clothes. The tree he was holding onto flings him to a window, naked. Everyone jokes that he’s Dogbird, and he’s humiliated. It’s later revealed that it was a planned prank to scare him out of ever acting like an animal again. He runs home scared and gets a postcard from Michael. He reads it.

The episode ends with Chad screaming so loudly, that it shakes the Earth. The weather man says, “Wow. I didn’t know there was going to be an earthquake.”

Why It's The Top of the Hour

 * 1) This episode has the best kind of good humor, not to mention it's a great reenactment of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, "Hooky," except the dialogue is slightly modified to suit a more terrestrial setting, and it just replaced the fishing hooks with floating video games called "game traps" and even replaces the "surface" with the "mesosphere" and "gift shop" with "pet shop."
 * 2) It's a major improvement over the episode, "Chad's Tantrum," which is also a season 8 episode. And since this is a season 8 episode where Chad doesn't have anger issues, that's really something!
 * 3) It tries NOT to be a Chad torture episode, and succeeds.
 * 4) Michael is a funny character, even though he tries to get Chad in his dangerous game.
 * 5) Great acting as usual, but especially for season 8.
 * 6) Plenty of good jokes like:
 * 7) *"I can't wait to beat Smells' high score!"
 * 8) *"Not so lucky NOW, huh, Lucky Dog?"
 * 9) Several pop culture references, like Mario Kart 8.
 * 10) Funny lines like:
 * 11) *"Well, I had my fingers crossed with one tail tied to my toes."
 * 12) *"Well, bloop, bloop, bloop to you too! We'll never be seeing THAT pervert again."
 * 13) Great moral: Don't get obsessed over dangerous things.

Gametrap Qualities

 * 1) Michael calling Chad a scaredy-cat can be kind of insulting.
 * 2) This episode is literally the SpongeBob episode "Hooky" and rips off scenes from other shows, like The Bernie Mac Show episode, "Night of Terror." For this reason though, some might like.
 * 3) Chad getting sucked up to his death can be pretty disturbing. Part of what got this season's TV-14 rating as opposed to TV-Y7 and TV-PG.
 * 4) Ms. Kelly is a bit harsh, as she tries to get Chad naked in school, which is extremely inappropriate, even for a TV-14 rated cartoon. And this aired on Teletoon (albeit at night).
 * 5) Misleading title: Nobody really dies.
