They've been on again off again since 1984. That "I think we're engaged" line in MTM, you can tell he's ambivalent about the idea, lol.

Frustratingly, yes.

I concur! I interned at The Paley Center years ago and their archive of Muppets material is incredible. :)

Yeah I guess that's always been the rule of SNL: "Meh, except at the beginning." ;)

My family was watching Trading Places on TV during Thanksgiving. Then the trailer for Sisters came on. I don't want to pre-judge but man, what has happened to SNL cast movies? :concern:

You're right about trailers often being designed to give off that impression. (Though personally I still see Winter Soldier as an action movie first. A good one, but one that I'd never compare to a 70s political thriller.)

Yeah, Scooter was always the awkward young person, but that whole nerdy thing is a left over from Muppet Babies. You know, ironically, Richard Hunt reportedly based his Emmett Otter character Charlie Muskrat on a childhood friend of his who was always relating everything back to his mom, lol...

Well they're not too far off, you know Dan Ackroyd is a true believer. ;) Yeah it's pretty disturbing how these studios placate to a government like China's.

Uh yeah, lol. Do the writers really think that sentiment is somehow more "adult" than The Muppet Show? You know that show with exchanges like this: Fozzie: You see, my problem was my need to tell jokes. Floyd: Yeah! And that was our problem, too!

That is so strange to me; I guess some of it is generational? I did see Ghostbusters II in the theater when I was 6 years old; I personally was entranced from the very first shot of the crack on the street with the slime coming out, lol. Yes, it's nowhere near as edgy as the first one, but...

Maybe part of what's changed my mind somewhat is all these blockbuster franchises lately and fans being so shocked when not every single movie is amazing. That's actually pretty normal, guys, lol. And, more to the point, not the end of the world. To be fair, I think some fans just don't want to...

Wow, has anyone ever seen this? Someone put together a recreation of a deleted scene from Ghostbusters II, where Ray is possessed by Vigo in the middle of the film and deliberately tries to crash the Ecto-1 into a tree! You can still read the dialogue in the comic book adaptation. Wow, it's...

Three nights now with no sleep. My body is completely worn out, I'm really scared. It's like every time I start to drift off, it feels like I can't breath and I jolt awake. Im laying there in total silence and darkness, constantly aware of my breathing and can't fall asleep at all. I try...

Eh, I'll be honest, I don't understand the book's concept of Oz being a real yet completely inexplicable place. I liked the movie's concept of Oz and its inhabitants mirroring Dorothy's real life problems. Yeah but this has been done already with less than stellar results. They insisted the...

At 1:30am, no hope in sight, I welcome even an inkling of holiday spirit. So no, I don't think it's too early. Why should I put off one of very few things that actually makes me feel good?

Yeah but the presumption is that it didn't happen because someone else was there to cancel it out. With the prequels, Lucas didn't have anyone telling him to pull back on that kind of nonsense. Really, the "Special Editions" bother me more than the prequels anyway. Every time I see that altered...

...Ohhhhh yeah, I kinda remember this. Maybe it was on the Disney Channel or something.

Lol, yes! That's always what I think when I hear that line too. Another thing, it's fascinating how Mr. Great Pumpkin Linus always manages to pull it together to somehow be the mature one with the inspirational speeches on Thanksgiving and Christmas, lol.

I think people remember Charlie Brown and the gang having popcorn and ice cream on Thanksgiving. My Aunt fondly recalled that they made toast, lol. And really, not much else goes on the special. Everybody is just sort of waiting around for dinner. Same as real life Thanksgiving! :) I guess it's...

Well the thing is, I wouldn't mind if the new show went for comedic in that moment instead of heart. The issue people have had is that when the show went to comedic, it could come off as mean spirited. I don't want the show to switch back and forth from mean spirited comedy to heart. I just want...
