Are they ever going to give Spike a real name?

Well, they finally got rid of the Spike's ever-present fuzzy hat -- now he's nearly naked -- and much more realistic.

Did you notice that, while it's morning in Kendall's bedroom, it's nighttime in Spike's crib? He also went from being nearly naked to wearing his jammies. Then he was back to nearly naked again.

I posted the following in response to someone on alt.tv.all-my- children who LIKED the camerawork, and I decided that my opinion bears repeating here:

It's a cheap gimmick that puts the focus on the camerawork instead of the storyline. It makes MULTITUDES of people seasick as they CONSTANTLY have to readjust to the movement. Think of it this way - - does your HEAD constantly bob up and down and side-to-side as you watch what's going on in real life? Unless you have Parkinson's disease or something else that affects your ability to hold your head still, then the answer is probably NO. Even if you try to watch TV while moving your head up and down and side-to-side, you can STILL keep the TV in focus, because it's the HEAD that's moving, not the TV.

IMO, the only thing that can be conveyed by this "technique" is that someone can't afford a better camera or better-trained camerapeople. I expect higher quality from a major network.
