I'm a little mixed about the return of The Electric Company. I'm amped about it because the original was just so good and evocative of its time. I watched just as the series was finishing up the rerun cycles. Watched them all, and loved them all. Even had crushes on Rita Moreno and Jennifer...

Back at my usual hangout at Toon Zone, there was a thread talking about "Worst Ideas For Animation," and some uneducated bumbarah thought that The Muppet Show would be a bad idea for animation. I couldn't have disagreed anymore because, well, a Muppet animated series would be awesome. Heck, I...

Oh, man. I dreamed about a Jim Henson theme park ever since I found out who he was way back when I was a kid. A cool, tall bearded guy who sounded a lot like a slightly deeper voiced Kermit the Frog (hey, I was four years old, I was just a little guy). I looked at The Mupper Show, Sesame Street...

You know what's funny? I've been thinking a lot about The Great Space Coaster for a couple of months now. I You Tubed the original opening about a couple of weeks ago just for nostalgia's sake. I was like, whoa! this was a frelling cool show opening back in the day, and it's still cool. They...

Ah. It stands for Royal Crown. It's a cola product made by the Dr. Pepper/Seven Up (7Up) Company here in the States and Cott - Royal Crown Cola International in non US/Canada/Mexico territories and markets.

Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi or Coke? There is a third option. There is a choice. And my choice is RC. The others are good, but RC is a perfect balance of that Coke creamy dryness and the Pepsi sweetness.

I'd pick three categories myself: - Best Voice Actor (Male and Female): The fact that Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Andy Serkis, Mel Blanc, Pinto Covig, Clarence Nash, Jack Mercer, Mae Quesel, Sterling Holloway, and countless other voice performers have never been nominated for an Oscar for their...

Sorry for the late response. Been busy with my other online endeavors (normally, this is where I would plug my site, but, that could be kind of crass if you don't know many people here). I've used FIMO and Sculpey on numerous occasions. I made a Spielberg medalion when I was in high-school out...

My Schedule #1: A Retro-themed network I really, really want a Retro TV network, because Noggin lost its way, TV Land has become a joke, GSN has forgotten that the GS stands for Game Show, Boomerang is getting lamer (and I still can't get it), and there is still a demand for older properties...

Frankenstein It's A Wonderful Life Miracle on 34th Street Citizen Kane Casablanca Clerks Sin City Day at the Races Night At The Opera Animal Crackers A Streetcar Named Desire King Kong Modern Times The Great Dictator Anything by Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton

FIMO, eh? Very, very impressive.

Did I kill the thread? Eep!

How about a crazy comedy movie that blends The Muppet Movie with the original Blues Brothers, featuring Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as the prominent characters rather than the "traditional" heroes of these Muppet romps. Here's the premise: Dr. Teeth, living a sanctified life in a...

I thought the production was mostly British, from Garth Jennings (the director) to a bulk of the cast and creative types. I've never seen the series nor have I read the books. This was pretty much my intro to H2G2, and I pretty much dug it. It was wry British humor not unlike Monty Python, and...

For starters, I'm not an expert on such things, so what I may say may not mean a whole hill of beans around these parts. A "Muppet" is a combination of traits that originally made up marionettes and puppets. Muppets have features prominent in both of those storytelling devices. The term was...
