    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Looking back on it, so much of this episode went right over my head as a kid, but man, this frame sure does look incredibly odd out of context.

    What made you think today?

    Honestly, this month has reminded me why I always prefered to expect the worst to happen and then happily be proven wrong as opposed to getting my hopes up and having to deal with disappointment, because that's exact what this month has been, a tremendous disappointment. I was so looking forward...

    Could the original setting of Sesame Street work for today’s modern day audiences ?

    That's just the way this industry works; writers who work in a specific area of entertainment have a tendancy to keep working in that same area. You brought up ARTHUR, well, Joe Fallon and Ken Scarborough were two of the most prominent writers of that show's earlier seasons, and they both have...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    The only thing worse that unseasonably warm weather in winter is when the local meteorologists act like it's such a blessing to be had; it's like the reverse of when somebody is really happy or excited about something, and then there's that one guy who has to kill their happiness for the sake of...

    Could the original setting of Sesame Street work for today’s modern day audiences ?

    This in and of itself brings to mind another topic of conversation we've discussed on this forum in years past, and that's, yes, SS has veered a little too far into fantasy as opposed to the old days. Not that there was never fantasy on the street to begin with, what with Muppet characters...

    How "Elmo Saves Christmas" Should Have Ended

    Yeah, I doubt any SS special would've ended like that, but it's amusing that everyone on the street practically turned on Elmo, even to the point that Big Bird held a grudge against him for eclipsing him, lol.

    Could the original setting of Sesame Street work for today’s modern day audiences ?

    The closest thing I've seen to anything in NYC resembling any part of Sesame Street is when I did research on gentrification years ago, and a Google Image search turned up this: From what I understand, this storefront is located in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn, but if you take a good, close...

    Could the original setting of Sesame Street work for today’s modern day audiences ?

    Again, you can thank the former Viacom employees who now run Sesame Workshop for making those decisions, based on a more corporate approach to handling the show. Remember, these are the people who were in charge of competing children's shows like DORA THE EXPLORER, and otherwise that contained...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Ironically though, their brand of ice cream is still sold in local grocery stores.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    I don't even remember; I was still a kid at the time, so my parent(s) paid for it, lol.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    It makes me miss when we used to have a local burger joint around here: not a chain like McDonald's or Burger King or anything like that, just a little local joint, and I swear, they made the best burgers ever: thick, greasy, juicy patties, just like you'd expect Jambon to cook up for you. For...

    Could the original setting of Sesame Street work for today’s modern day audiences ?

    That's exactly why their present production designer, David Gallo, made the changes he made to the set back in Season 46, because he felt the street had strayed too far away from its original gritty, urban roots, and even used a lot of drawings and such that inner city children had made of their...

    Biden isn't the one who canceled Christmas this year: Mother Nature did.

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I get that religion kind of isn't popular anymore (and honestly, organized religion itself has done a poor job representing itself in recent years), but I do actually find it kind of astounding that some of the younger generations have absolutely no idea that Christmas is, in fact, a religious...

    As it turns out, my health insurance plan is a Limited Indemnity plan, so apparently, there are certain healthcares services that they won't actually cover, such as diagnostic lab (blood work and the like) . . . which nobody explained to me when I was sold this plan in the first place almost two...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    A lot of content creators on YouTube must be out of ideas right now, because there's suddenly an influx of videos of doctors, surgeons, and other medical professionals analyzing the injuries Harry and Marv endure via Kevin's booby traps in the HOME ALONE movies, and it's like we've already had...
