Night of the Living Dummy

This episode was clearly the bait after the cliffhanger from first 5 mediocre to decent at best episodes . Using Slappy finally and keeping the interest of the viewer pays off with a relatively serviceable origin tale and extension on the overall Harold arc. What I still can't get over is the cast being so mediocre aside from Long and maybe a couple characters. The 90s themed desperation comes off a bit forced at times as well. I'm still slightly annoyed they are going to use the most interesting parts of the series so little. Slappy and Justin Long should be THE main focal points at the core while other classic tales are told around them intertwined for a story arc style and it feels like they take a backseat to the uninteresting Teeny cast and their uninteresting romances . While the remaining 4 episodes could build off the momentum I'm still very skeptical. Either way solid episode and best so far .
