    Possible Muppet Babies Reboot?

    I...I don't know what to make of this. Seems a little suspect. But I've been saying since the sitcom got cancelled that it's the right time to bring the Babies back for merchandising and preschool television. I have faith in Disney's preschool shows turning that ghastly "derp, let's do what...

    Should Fraggle Rock be revived?

    I really think the Doozers cartoon missed too many opportunities for being its own thing. Truth be told, I only seen a couple episodes and I can't say they never made some reference or acknowledgement, but they didn't in either of the episodes I've seen. Then again, the fact the show was...

    Fraggle Rock to return to HBO, remastered in HD on December 14, 2016

    Personally, I would be very happy if it didn't look like the trainwreck "remastering" that Freeform's broadcast of the Bells episode last year was. Why...why did they make it look like it was filmed? I mean, there's all those cleaned up DVD transfers they could have used, even if they wanted...

    Sesame Street Season 47 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for January 2017

    I'm watching it right now, and almost everything seems to be a vast improvement over the original. The only thing I really miss is the special Muppet character e-mail/home video appearances from the original. Only thing that really doesn't work is that "interactive game" segment. If this were...

    When you need to rant...

    You know, I completely forgot what the most horrifying thing about Drumph is. Looking past all the everything utterly completely terrible about him, the one scariest bit of him came back this weekend. He cannot take criticism, and will discredit anyone who dares speak ill of him. I'm...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Wow. Who would have thought a movie based on a franchise that never really amounted to anything, based on a toy that garnered no merchandising, dumped into October with virtually no marketing wouldn't do well? What's really condemning is the fact that none of the critics even knew what the...

    Ecto Cooler (and other stuff) for sale for Halloween

    Oh. You're selling stuff. I thought this was a discussion thread. Anyway, whatever can be said about the Ghostbusters movie, I think the fact that the food based merchandising was almost impossible to find was the real bungle for the franchise. I can take any bad reboot or crap movie if the...

    Sesame Street Season 47 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for January 2017

    On the plus side, new Letter and Number intro songs. I do like how the number's Cookie related and that The Count isn't entirely out of the picture.

    Jennifer Barnhart's Zoe!

    Here's the first actual clip. Ehhhh... I'm not a "wrong sounding Muppets" guy, but Zoe somehow went through puberty. Her voice is much deeper. Eh, she gets the laugh down.

    Sesame Street Season 47 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for January 2017

    Okay... uh, they released the sizzle reel for season 47. Uh, I'm going to break the bad news first... you know how they brought back old Elmo's World segments? Yeah. new Elmo's Worlds. :rolleyes: Nice step backwards, Sesame Street. Also of note, Eric's Oscar and Jennifer's Zoe, which...

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

    I forgot to mention a couple things about why I love this last episode so much. First off, I really appreciate that the voice actors went back and did the voices of the characters from the original series instead of having them do their normal TTG cartoonier ones. It wouldn't have been half as...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I'd think that the slip into the abyss of madness and destruction would be fun, but even I can't get on the Ken Bone Meme train. Okay...maybe a little.

    Will Looney Tunes ever find success again?

    Actually, that's something that has always fascinated me about Looney Tunes vs. Mickey Mouse. Looney Tunes was always much more accessible than Disney's cartoons, yet Disney cartoons were always more popular and you'd see their characters on more merchandise despite it. Prior to cable buy outs...

    Will Looney Tunes ever find success again?

    I really don't want a Space Jam sequel. Space Jam is a moral quandary for me. I like the film, I k now the film knows it's not taking itself seriously yet is a pretty cynically made movie to cash in off the better short form commercial interactions between NBA all stars and Looney Tunes...

    Should Fraggle Rock be revived?

    I'm sure there are capable hands out there that could do the franchise proud. Problem is, if the unmade movie was anything to go by, studios are very much incapable hands that can smack a project out of the capable ones and force them to pick them up while pointing and laughing at them. I...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    To the surprise of no one, the new PPG are going to be part of Lego Dimensions. Almost wish they'd double the TTG, AT, and PPG Dimention game pieces with actual sets. I know AT is going to be a set, just more Mixel-like as you use the blocks to build the characters rather than have Minifigs...

    Hanna-Barbera

    Yeah. That was an odd one. I had it in my Netflix queue for a bit before it disappeared and never got to watch it. I've heard of the odd other country getting some weird version of an American cartoon before (Japan's 1970's Little Lulu anime and the infamous TMNT OVAs, not to mention that...

    Hanna-Barbera

    I agree, but feel more disappointed not so much they're doing something again with the WWE but the fact they have to in order to keep these classic franchises going. As I've said countless times before, The Flintstones for at least a generation will remember them only as cereal and vitamin...

    Will Looney Tunes ever find success again?

    Oh...that Tiny Toons episode. I have sooooo many problems with the logic in that one. Mainly the complete myth that Bosco cartoons were funny. ;) I've heard tell that even Jar Jar Binks hisself was redeemed in episodes of The Clone Wars. I really think TLS was Lola's second chance, even...
