Remember though, when Snow White took their room, Grumpy ended up very uncomfortable in a kettle!
Good point.

Scoff... Scoff I say. You have never read the original TMNT comics, have you? I'm just sayin' there's a lot more to that Rat King than the one on the cartoon. Though, in a cartoon series where one of the main heroes is a rat, the power to control rats is pretty impressive a force to go up against.



#2... well, Rosanne had that odd storyline about winning the lottery that ruined the series... Married focused on how hot Kelly was after a while. So draw.
I've read a few TMNT comics, but no nothing with Rat-King, :smile:. I do remember once in the cartoon though that Splinter actually made the Rats go aganist Rat-King though, which in some ways does make his power seem even more useless.

Yeah that's what I was thinking with Rosanne, too. Maybe Merried did focused on how hot Kelly was after a while, but it still didn't change who the family was, though.

Aquaman has the better power because most of the world is filled with water and with global warming even more of it will be in the future.

Roseanne was the better show because of all the writer firings and hirings. The show was constantly fresh and changing while still true to its roots - except for the terrible final season.

Oscar beats Grumpy for my taste because he's much more fun. There's something magical about that character that extends beyond just one or two notes.

I never got Oscar and I never got Grumpy. Oh why oh why? What's the point? Yes, they are Grumpy. Ok. We get that. Now what? For me, Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh gets the win, with his depressing state. Not only is he depressed (and semi grumpy) himself, he is determined to bring everyone else down with him.

Well Grumpy's a good character because he goes through a journey in the story. He goes from this real misanthrope to the one who's the most grieved at Snow White's "passing." It's your classic story of converstion and redemption. My movies teacher once mentioned that in a great deal of movies, the day is saved because one ambivelant character is finally converted to the good guy's side.

Well if we look at the data that recent studies in marine biology have proven, combined with psychological tests on the human condition, particularly in conjunction with the average American's demeanor in key demographics, we learn that in many cases statistics favor Bell's theorem which loosely states that no physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics, therefor it is my personal and professional opinion that, uh, er...

Aquaman is the literal bottom feeder of the Super Friends, Ted Bundy is awesome, and the day Grumpy beats out Oscar on the Muppet Central forums is the day I leave my near perfect life for a spot on Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

Just want to clarify, I still love Oscar and all. Just as a classic movie fan, I need to give Grumpy his due. :smile:

Ted Bundy is awesome, didn't think anyone here would be such a huge fan of a serial killer, :concern:.

The character's name was Al Bundy, :smile:

I never found Eeyore as grumpy, so much as self deprecating. Sort of like Marvin the Paranoid Android, only without the snarky comebacks, and focusing all his problems on himself. Rabbit and Gopher were the ones I felt were grumpy... Rabbit being anal retentive and Felix Unger/Bert like and Gopher being one of those old guys that doesn't like youngins getting in the way of their work.
