In a review the Sarah Jane Adventures, Tod Emko at UGO writes:
So, children's show, yes. Has young teens in it, yes. Yet, a show you may actually want to watch, despite your probable hatred for Wil Wheaton-type characters through the years. It's definitely one of the most intelligent shows for kids you'll ever see, and if you can't get enough of the Doctor's universe, this will give you a decent fix.
Well. Glad he liked the show, and is encouraging teenagers to watch intelligent programming; we certainly need more of that to act as a counterbalance on Hanna Montana. But I feel compelled to point something out that is apparently lost on Tod Emko-like writers: I didn't invent that type of character. I just played one of them for a few seasons. Twenty years ago. Using my name as a pejorative in this case isn't just profoundly offensive to me, it's profoundly inaccurate.
Despite my probable hatred of Tod Emko-like writers through the years, though, I'm totally going to do Tod Emko-like writers a solid here: Hey guys! Send your resumes to Entertainment Weekly; they love your style.
