The Price: Series opener. Enjoyable opening to the animated series that inspired by the big screen movie which in turn was based on the book of the same name. Good setting up of the premise with siblings Peter and Judy finding Jumanji and meeting Alan. The end of the episode seems to show that the situation is over but it is only just the beginning.

Bargaining for Time: Season 1, Episode 2. Quite sinister the character of Trader Slick and what he offers when making deals. Intriguing when time stood still and Peter gradually turning into a turtle. Quite a trick that Judy pulls on Trader Slick resulting in him getting nothing.
Incidentally finished this episode on September 8 2016, the 20th anniversary of the Jumanji animated series.

Masked Identity: Season 1, Episode 3. Interesting episode by the physical appearance that Peter goes through and ultimately a good lesson for Peter how to deal with bullies.

Ransom of Redhead: Season 1, Episode 4. The episode title feels prophetic to the fact that the redhead Karen Gillan would be cast in the second Jumanji movie set for release on July 28 2017. Not sure what the redhead of this episode was referring to as there was not one in sight. However it was fun Aunt Nora being dragged along here including being held captive by Van Pelt. At the end she seemed convinced her brief time in Jumanji was a dream only for her to see the bullet dent on her tape recorder!

Master Builder: Season 1, Episode 5. Whilst doing homework at the beginning, Judy uses her laptop computer and on reflection now I should not be surprised that Peter later took it to Jumanji with them. Not bad the use of the computer in this episode and ultimately teaches Peter the value of using his brain.

No Dice: Season 1, Episode 6. Feeling responsible that he nearly got Peter killed, Alan threw confiscated their dice so that Peter and Judy would not come back to Jumanji. Quite a determination that Peter and Judy made in getting back to Jumanji including physically attacking it. Quite scary by what turns up at the end.

My wife Karen on twitter responded to reactions to her outfit in the Jumanji 2 photo: "Jumanji! Yes I'm wearing child sized clothes and YES there is a reason! The pay off is worth it, I promise! #Jumanji"
Meanwhile Rhys Darby has been cast in Jumanji 2 playing Kevin as well as Ser'Darius Blain in an unspecified role.

Love On The Rocks: Season 1, Episode 7. Judy learns about young love starting with a boy at school who had no interest her other than getting her the answers for a test. She then learns about young love with another young boy in Jumanji who turns out to be the villain and a pretty good one at that. Her experience at Jumanji sure provided Judy with a way to get back at the boy at school at the end.
Judy says that her nickname is Daisy. Daisy is also the name of my wife Karen Gillan's character in NTSF:SD:SUV:: and Karen is in the next Jumanji movie.

Law of Jumanji: Season 1, Episode 8. Alan, Peter and Judy defeats Van Pelt only for Peter to become Van Pelt. Good episode on what the law of Jumanji truly means. No matter how much one makes a change, the law of Jumanji makes sure that things stayed the same. __________________

Stormy Weather: Season 1, Episode 9. This episode is a Groundhog Day of an episode as Peter and Judy keeps on going through a time loop in order to save Alan’s life who keeps on getting killed one each of these loops. A very fun episode. Incidentally Groundhog Day was released in 1993 just a couple of years before the first Jumanji movie in 1995. Coincidentally after watching Stormy Weather saw the movie Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children which also dealt with time loops.

El Pollo Jumanji: Season 1, Episode 10. In order to impress Maria, a girl he likes, Peter introduces her to Jumanji. Problem is that bully Rock claims ownership ofher and all three of them with Judy ended up in Jumanji. Not bad incorporating Maria and Rock into the game. Peter impresses Maria in the game but Jumanji ultimately gives the lesson to Peter about being himself with Maria. Peter gets called Romeo here and Jumanji 2 cast member my wife Karen Gillan once played Juliet in a sketch for The Kevin Bishop Show.

Perfect Match: Antepenultimate episode of season 1. Aunt Nora gets back into Jumanji with the kids as Peter took Jumanji with them during a ride to a wedding. This time around Alan is being forced into a marriage with the Jamazon Queen Gina. So Peter and Judy got Aunt Nora to get together with Alan to stop this wedding. Quite fun how the wedding to Gina got stopped and how it led to Aunt Nora to skip the wedding they were going to in the real world and go to an amusement park instead.
