This is a great addition to the Nickelodeon lineup. Kids will certainly enjoy the eccentric puppets and their sword fighting while adults will enjoy the humor. Everyone will be charmed by the shy bridge toll who burns his bridges and the princess who gives up her tiara and her ribbon cutting duties. There should be lots of fun adventures ahead as the troll and princess combine forces to help others.

Rather than a reunion episode, this is simply a commercial for NBC's Peacock streaming service. Yes, it's nice to see the cast again, but that's not enough to make this montage worth watching.

Maybe it's the writers or maybe it's Katherine Heigl, who can't fill either of Gina Torres's heels, but the new season's first episode lacked the polish and pace of earlier episodes. Let's hope the writers figure out a way to keep the show interesting without relying on any more middle finger 'showdowns' between Macht and Heigl.
