True Luck (True Jackson, VP)

True Luck is the first episode of Season 3 of mh:besttvshows:True Jackson, VP. It first aired on September 11, 2010.

Plot
True's Uncle Troy (Jordan Black) who has a history of bad luck takes over as the receptionist at Mad Style, but after True touches him, She now believes that she has inherited his bad luck in exchange of Uncle Troy receiving True's lucky streak. This all comes at a bad time, due to True working on a fragrance for the company. Meanwhile, Lulu begins to have romantic dreams about Ryan, which causes her to be uncomfortable around him. She then tells Mikey J. who challenges Ryan to a boxing match.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) This is pretty much a torture episode for True, as after her Uncle Troy gives her his "bad luck", many unlucky things start to happen to her, and worse, if she sends one of her friends to do a task for her, they suffer as well.
 * 2) Some bad injuries are in the episode:
 * 3) * True’s was the least bad, but she got her arm stuck in a vending machine, which could have not felt comfortable at all, similar to Dustin’s situation from Zoey 101's "Chase’s Grandma".
 * 4) * Ryan got mauled by an army of cats while trying to do True’s task, and then he slipped on something in True’s lab and fell down. Poor Ryan.
 * 5) * The Nose, yes that’s his name, got the door slammed into his nose accidentally caused by Uncle Troy.
 * 6) * Amanda suffered the worst injury, as after Uncle Troy passed some of his "bad luck" to her, she went to the elevator, only for it to be gone, so she fell down all the way to the first floor hard, similar to Shane’s situation from iCarly's "iSaw Him First".
 * 7) The Nose is a stupid and laughable name for a character, and his nose doesn’t look that good to see either.
 * 8) Like all episodes of the show, despite being filmed in front of a live-studio audience, this show also uses the laugh track occasionally, but in this episode, the laugh track is OBNOXIOUS here, as it plays at the worst times whenever bad luck happens and also whenever someone gets injured, which means the episode relies on cruel moments for comedy.
 * 9) While Lulu’s Dream was funny at first, it started getting repetitive, as it was always dreaming about Ryan, at least until the last dream. The dreams in the episode kind of makes this a torture episode for Lulu as well, as she gets scared whenever she’s near Ryan, unaware that Ryan isn’t in love with her.
 * 10) Mikey J. is mostly unlikable in this episode, as he overreacted when Lulu told him about her dream, and was going to beat up Ryan, unaware that Ryan is not trying to steal Lulu away from him.
 * 11) Uncle Troy, while still likable because of his unfortunate streak of bad luck we understand, gave some wrong advice to Mikey J. before True told him what he was supposed to do.
 * 12) This episode was an awful way to start Season 3.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Beside’s the Lulu dreams part, the real world part of the episode started off good until the bad luck started.
 * 2) Many of the other characters are still likable in this episode, especially Uncle Troy, since we feel bad for him that he has bad luck, and he doesn’t mean harm to anyone, and would never purposely give his bad luck to his niece or anyone else.
 * 3) Some funny moments in the episode, such as Lulu’s first dream, and some of the less harmful bad luck situations, as well as Uncle Troy getting some good luck.
 * 4) At least True tries to go along with her day, and the other characters help her out in her experiment for a new perfume scent, and it went ok for the most part.
 * 5) True and Uncle Troy ended up helping each other out in the end, as True got a good scent for Mr. Nose to smell, so she succeeded, and Uncle Troy got some good job places despite his bad luck coming back.
 * 6) Mikey J. decided not to hurt Ryan in the end, which was ok, and also, Lulu’s final dream was the moment when Mikey J. took down Ryan, leaving Lulu happy and ending her dreams about Ryan loving her, much to her relief.
 * 7) The episode had an interesting premise about bad luck, but it was poorly executed. Disney’s later cartoon, Milo Murphy's Law, executed this premise a lot better.
