Lately I've been looking into a lot of videos about the body swap plot, so I figured reviewing this episode would be my next step... to continue the hype for these plots?
Well, about the actual episode, this one references the popular movie "Freaky Friday". Considering I like that movie (the 2003 one), this episode was expected to be at least decent: and yes it was, especially for being the first segment of the last episode in season 1... even if this one has more of a 'TV show season finale' due to the fact that it tackles Brandy and Whiskers' friendship as a fresher start for the new season, which is thankfully what happens (but episodes like "Auntie Dote" kinda messed up the flow).
I used to have a problem with this episode, kinda similar to how used to think of problems with episodes like "The Monkey's Paw" and "A Really Crushing Crush". It went from my top 10, then it dropped to an 8/10, then I started hating it then... it's a lot. With this episode, the problem I had with it was the fact that everyone is oblivious due to the fact that Whiskers becomes Brandy and Brandy becomes Whiskers. However, I realized that them being oblivious wasn't a bad thing in this episode because it was beneficial for the plot and nothing that bad happened when they thought she was lying. I'm mentioning this to combat the horrid IMDb score it really doesn't deserve.
This also ties in with the characters, as even though most of them admittedly are jerks, they are all funny and kept reasonably in character as they really aren't too intelligent. I can excuse it for this show, screw my bias. Mostly Brandy though, her somewhat descent to madness is really hilarious, especially when she starts acting like Whiskers with the "I've had too much to drink at the bar" voice.
It's a very fun episode to be sure, especially those last 4-5 minutes.
I don't know what else to say... 10/10.
