First, I started watching the parade on CBS, where they give better coverage of the floats and balloons, compared to NBC virtually ignoring those in favor of the Radio City Rockettes and all the Broadway musical numbers. I also saw a brief glimpse of the Sesame Street float on CBS's coverage...

I enjoyed seeing Uncle Traveling Matt's little segment in the parade! Did anyone catch that, too?

50 years ago today, the very first Sesame Street News segment premiered on episode 409 (the "Rapunzel" one). So here's a revised compilation I put together on how the Sesame Street News logo has changed over the years, including some rare variations (what with over 70 of these fast-breaking news...

Today's my birthday, so in honor of the occasion I uploaded what is obviously the very first YouTube Poop ever made of anything relating to "Big Bag" (Cartoon Network's short-lived preschool series from 1996-98 co-produced with CTW)... Pooping obscure animation has always been a specialty of...

Well, this year's NostalgiaWeen was another disappointment. Just reviews of horror movies, something the Nostalgia Critic already does year round (i.e. FreakShow Cinema). It's like "Halloween is Grinch Night" or "Toy Story of Terror" in that it has nothing to actually do with Halloween (now we...

I recently remastered a YTP I made ten years ago, of the late 1960s Warner Bros.- Seven Arts cartoons... This is partly due to the 20th anniversary of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" (which I consider the spiritual successor to these cartoons, especially since the same company produced both) and...

Yep, I noticed that too. Maybe one day they'll be available on streaming again...

Not just "Sesame Street," but HBO Max also has a great library of Looney Tunes shorts, not just the newer series but LOTS of classics from 1931 to 2004. Even cartoons that Boomerang's (currently dormant) streaming service doesn't want to touch. (Still no Speedy Gonzales, though.) And they're all...

Oh, drats and phooey! It's a good thing I was able to capture this hilarious Dr. Nobel Price News Flash from one of the episodes a couple years ago...

Here's another one of my combining a classic "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" episode with the original Muppet Babies; this time, the tots accompany the gang in the classic mystery "Hassle in the Castle!" I used a few bits from the "Muppet Babies" episode "Muppetland," largely due to Gonzo's spooky...

I can understand not showing actual footage from Episode 847, but the way they used that classic Mel Blanc WB/DePatie-Freleng scream for the Elmo jumpscare made me laugh when it came up! I think it's because I've heard the scream used in too many humorous moments (including in some of my own...

Yep, I too watched it as well. While the Wicked Witch does seem more comical compared to her truly frightening portrayal in the 1939 movie, I can see why this scared little kids; stuff like that would fit fine in a Sid and Marty Krofft Saturday morning TV show, but not a PBS preschool show like...

I've made two YTPs so far this year, what with my work schedule at my computer tech job, not to mention Anthro New England 2022 happening last month (and it was great to be back!) First up is one I did of "The Funky Phantom," the first Hanna-Barbera show to be largely produced by their then-new...

Well, this is too bad. Every year when I ring in the New Year after playing/singing "Auld Lang Syne," I play "Faces That I Love", which was basically Sesame Street's version of "Auld Lang Syne."

I've been thinking of and noticing how Christmas just isn't the same as it was when I was a kid. (No snow, fewer traditional decorations, a small non-traditional roast beef dinner, etc.) But at least it's not as bad as what happened in "Elmo Saves Christmas" when Elmo wished for Christmas every...

Just saw the float on NBC! Awww, that's cute how Elmo's new dog got to ride in the nest with him, in place of Abby Cadabby. Of course, I also liked seeing Julia on the float as well, in her noise-cancelling headset and her cute winter hat! And of course, Oscar refusing to sing is always a...

Nothing like kicking off Thanksgiving with me and my dad reminiscing how NBC used to actually care about the Macy's parade balloons and floats, compared to today where they virtually ignore them in favor of the Radio City Rockettes and such! You gotta tune to CBS to get decent coverage of those...

Pretty cool! I also find it neat how they had Marvin the Martian wear his green suit and gold helmet that he had in "Hare-Way to the Stars" and "Mad as a Mars Hare". His costume was probably the most on-model out of all the Looney Tunes. REPLY

Yeah, in many cases I find masks to be more effective than makeup. Though I've seen numerous Halloween safety guides for kids advise against wearing masks and recommend makeup, but in most cases they are talking about those cheap plastic face masks for children, the kind often included in those...

With Halloween coming, I thought I'd share my latest cosplay, the title character of the 1952 Merrie Melodies cartoon "The Turn-Tale Wolf!" The head is a vintage vinyl rubber "Bad Wolf" mask made by French mask company Cesar from the 80s to the 2000s. Cesar made some of the best vinyl masks in...
