    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Fun fact, the S1-5 character designer (Richard Morris) was still in contact with the writers when S7 was in production. The initial draft in response to 9/11 sensitivity for that ep was for a major accident to...unfortunately cripple Sue Ellen It's probably why Sue Ellen's section of that ep was...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    It really shouldn't have been squished with another half ep, especially with how mediocre that one was. I'll sum it up as "another way to flanderize Buster for a trash laugh" I'm also disappointed in how 90% of the ep was "what if" predictions from the game that...mostly got copy pasted to be...

    2022 kicks off with a return to the Elmo and Rocco argument…

    God the SNL sketch was cringe. Outside that mess, the Elmo and Zoe conflicts help show Elmo's other qualities. He's legit a lot better when he has chemistry with other characters (this is also well shown in the many interviews Clash did with Elmo). Yet Sesame Street frustratingly keeps making...

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

    Well not 8 ft, but.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War Jokes aside, this kind of makes me think of the status of current PBS Kids in general. Development for shows since the mid 2000s has gotten horrifically limited, and the push in introducing quirky characters and the education concept...

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

    I kinda feel bad, cuz landscape wise it's actually pretty nice ...too nice I honestly don't think kids living in the worst Urban areas in the Mid to Mid East US can relate. Heck, for Uni for my major we did research on a NJ City ....Really doesn't look anywhere as nice as this, which again is a...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The Compsons bug me in replacing characters Ledonna mostly replaced Fern in terms of storyteller, and it got worse when they outright had an ep of Fern stealing her stories (which is weird cuz Ledonna also had issues coming up with new tales...). Bud has completely replaced Emily most of his...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Made this earlier this year, so some things changed Like Slink finally having an ep focus on him, Arthur slipping to "meh" the bottom middle 3 (DW, Sue Ellen, George) bugs me a lot though What do you guys think?

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The same occurs for Cyberchase. The storyboards are more visually dynamic Unrelated, I hate how Arthur's face is clearly pasted here

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Species diversity has been weirdly poor in Arthur (typically it's rabbit, dog [poodle, beagle, or bulldog], aardvark, cat, Francine and Muffy for Monkey, or moose), so this was interesting. Rip the S1-4 Ducks, and the ever occasional Gator though I kind of wish they spent a bigger budget hand...

    Sesame Street Special "Furry Friends Forever: Elmo Gets a Puppy"

    Yeah it's weird. It seemed like late S40s Elmo was starting to flesh out despite Clash leaving, but then the Second Elmo's World, the talk show, the robot special coming, and this... Not to mention late 40s were trying to make abandoned Muppets return gradually, but that stopped.... I feel like...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Back in the 80s, everyone hated on the nerds after the late 90s it seems everyone IS a nerd Though I'd argue that the Chicken Pox ep is more outdated

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    To be fair, that occurred since S9 starting with Cameron Ansell At the very least I liked his Arthur, even if I prefer Mark and Michael though every after S12 (incidentally when AKOM stopped animating) it's poor I feel DW is worse ironically. Doesn't help how after S6 writing for her has been...
