Summary: Great guitar duel
Comment: The guitar duel at the end of the episode is worth the price of admission, and some of the jokes at the expense of the ABC network's bureau of standards and practices are great...
All in all, my second-favorite episode of the first two seasons of ReBoot...

Summary: The sprites decide to put on a show for Enzo's birthday
Comment: Reboot was the first ever animated children's show made 100% with 3D computer animation. As if it were not enough to make it stand out, the scripts were inventive and the artwork superb. The voice actors had real talent and the animators were always adding subtle or blatant references to contemporary matters in the background. More than half of the episodes were wonderful examples of a blend of wit, adventure and social content. "Talent Night" was such an episode. The premise of putting on a talent show to celebrate Enzo's birthday gave the occasion for a series of hilarious parodies of everything from a poetry reading by William Shatner to imitations of the 70s New York group "The village people", with short takes on Elvis and others. It all ended with a rock concert containing a guitar duel between the arch-villain Megabyte and Bob, the one and only hero of the series. Hmmm...well, OK, maybe Ms Matrix stole the spotlight from Bob now and then. They really did their best to portray Ms Matrix as a good role model for girls, despite the fact that she was dressed in a rather tight jumpsuit most of the time.
