I waited until the first week of the “new” Rocketboom was finished before making a comment, and here it is: The new Rocketboom looks and feels a lot like the old Rocketboom. Shocking, I know, and evidence that personality-driven television isn’t always as personality-driven as the personality doing the driving would like us to think it is.

Today’s episode, I think, is pretty much an instant classic. Give a lookie-loo at Casual Friday.

Seriously, Rocketboom is a show — a concept — not a person. I adored Amanda and hope we all see her again soon, but Joanne Colan brings new life, energy and opportunities for conflict that only help the program. Good job, Andrew.
