    The Mighty Magiswords thread

    Rewatching the episode about Grup's odor and the episode about the giant fungus, I noticed something that I really like about Probyas and Vambre. At no point did they get angrily frustrated and lash out at Grup for not bathing or Zombie Pumpkin for not being able to battle the giant mushroom...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4635 - Halloween

    It's easier and quicker to keep songs untranslated. There's a fair amount of language gymnastics involved to getting the lyrics to make sense, fit the melody as best they can, in cases make it rhyme (something that's not necessary in certain languages) and sound as acceptable as possible. Some...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I dunno about you, but that sounds epic. Even if it was just The Rock. Between him and Vin Diesel, I love action movie stars that don't take themselves too seriously. As for my eye roll... well, it turns out the terrorists patriots that stormed into reclaimed a national park are not going to...

    The next Transformers Cartoon REVEALED!

    Just said that about the third season. I'm a little concerned about how the toy line is going to go since next year is another movie. And we all know what happens when a movie toyline and a cartoon toyline collide. The retailors prefer the movie toyline to the cartoon toyline. I'd say at...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4635 - Halloween

    This was a pleasant surprise. And all this time I was thinking they were adding just a Halloween song to the Snazzy Society repackage. Still weird that's what the TV listings said. Pretty good for an Elmo and Abby episode. I like that Elmo was able to get angry and jealous in this episode...

    Favorite Seinfeld moments?

    So, this happened in the new Homestar Halloween cartoon. Poopsmith's costume was a reference to the strange sci-fi movie in "The Heart Attack." "Like Flaming Glorbs, Poopsmith! Flaming Glorbs!"

    Uncle Grandpa

    This episode feels like it was the complete opposite of what an Uncle Grandpa helps a kid story usually does. Usually it seems that UG is several steps ahead of the kid when he isn't. This time, he's the one that had problems with the kid's costume. Nice cameo by someone wearing a Steven...

    Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

    I can see why they want a smaller, limited cast and all. But come on. Baby Rowlf needs to be in this. And we can totally have Baby Scooter in there to. I needn't put up the "I'm always gonna Love You" clip from MTM, we know they pre-existed the cartoon. I really hope there's ample...

    Why do people think that Sesame Street isn't good?

    Sesame Street is just so much greater than what it appears to be. Any complaints about the show not being as good as it used to are first world problems next to what they've done all over the world. It's a cultural phenomenon that has gone all over the world to spread peaceful messages and...

    When you need to rant...

    I'm just going to cut to the quick here... South Park basically said it best. All the horrid racist things he said and the whole "derp I can rape anyone I want because famous!" comments was the line they drew? I'm not surprised that only a handful of GOP women voters said "nope" and left...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    They made another episode that said what I've been saying for years. Christmas is overtaking Halloween. And they played it out perfectly. Sometimes when they do these social commentary episodes, they hit a real nerve.

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    The final Terror Tales from the Park aired, keeping with the "In Space" storyline. I really liked Rigby's story about having a terrible roommate, since it really feels like an authentic writer experiance made into an Alien parody. However, the episode's ending was what I really thought was...

    Learn Something New Everyday Thread

    ...UGH! Screw them. Screw them for making a "this is why Atheists hate us" persecution complex movie. How Christian can you possibly be if you just cling to the "Gawd Hates Gayyuhs" but say "everyman for themselves because we got money?" Wouldn't it be better had they put their reality show...

    Why do people think that Sesame Street isn't good?

    Because there are two kinda of people out there. Those who are willing to wear everything from their childhood on their clothing, and those who grew out of things before middle school and didn't turn back for nostalgia's sake. The kind of people who are in a rush to grow up, and don't exactly...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Everything's been done before since before Shakespeare picked up a quill. It's just that's how storytelling works. Every story is basically someone has to go somewhere, get something, or meet someone, there's some obstacle or struggling point in the way, there's probably some sort of...

    Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

    Whatever that can be said about the Sesame Street segment Abby's Flying Fairy School, I really think they were able to get a great blend of CGI cartoon and keeping the characters puppet like enough that it wasn't too much of a difference in style. If we could get something similar to that, we...

    Nintendo makes the Switch!

    And I'm glad they're doing that, especially since I've missed out on the last time they reprinted them all the way back in the 90's (though i swear there was another reprint last decade). Though I really wish that they'd let someone reprint the Valliant published Mario comics series. I had a...

    The "You know what?" thread

    One correction. Conservatives aren't stupid. They're stubborn. And that's worse. Stupid can be educated, stubborn can't. I'm not saying Obama was going to be a fairy godparent that would wave his wand and make bad stuff go away, but for the love of Mike... you can't whine about the country...

    When you need to RAVE!

    As much as we're glad that Kermit the Frog got one...remember years ago when we had that troll that kept putting absolutely every Muppet thing down possible because he had a superiority complex? Well, he was right about one thing. The Walk of Fame isn't as prestigious as it seems. It's...

    Harvey Beaks: New Nick series

    Anyone catch the second Halloween special yet? I've now seen them use A Christmas Carol as a Halloween story twice, the first being Rosanne. I liked the episode, but I really think they could have used the message of "enjoy being a kid as long as you can, cuz you're not going to be one...
