    TV Alert: Muppet Christmas Carol to air on ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas

    Yay! Last year, I think they showed it on the Hub, so this is kind of a surprise, though a pleasant one!

    Do you have any pets?

    My family's six-year-old tricolor Shetland Sheepdog, Skylar (she's conked out behind my chair). My mom also has a class pet, a tricolor Holland Lop rabbit named Oswald (he's had to stay at home for two years in a row, since she's had kids in her class this year and last who are allergic to fur).

    TV Tropes

    Even though I still like TV tropes (in that I visit the site regularly, and still am a member, a lot of the criticism the site has gotten in recent times is absolutely legitimate. As a person on another forum has said, TV Tropes nowadays seems to run under the idea that being nice is more...

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    Don't remind me. ;) It's my last semester of college before earning my BA. It's not something I brag about, but it is what it is, I guess. But the important thing is that I'm almost there!

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    I woke up, walked and fed Skylar, ate breakfast, went to school, went to my weekly counseling session, met up with a group for one of my classes, came home, ate dinner, and now I'm at my computer, putting off cleaning the bathroom and kitchen before I have to go to bed (work in the morning).

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    I think if you're a public figure, you have to learn to deal with criticism, including "cheap shots." You're in the public eye, so you're fair game. And the point of the song was criticizing the sexist paradigm such public figures contribute to, so I don't exactly lose much sleep over their...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    Negative Nancy much? But anyway, this looks like it could be good. I would like to see a Muppet Christmas special where they were the stars (which it doesn't look like this is, and the last time they tried that, we got Letters to Santa...less I say, the better), but I like Lady Gaga's music...

    Hate Jessie

    The "be yourself" moral is also a bad one to give if the character, as we see him/her in each episode, is an unlikable jerk. It's like an often-quoted-in-social-media saying goes: "'Be Yourself' is just about the worst advice you can give some people."

    Popular Shows that You Hate

    I used to wonder how it was that Jesse had such hard time disciplining his own kids, but not nearly as much trouble when he had to be tough on his nieces (even when it was unwarranted, like that episode when he thought DJ was drinking beer at a dance [really, it was her date and a couple of his...

    Hate Jessie

    I loved Even Stevens. It was similar to shows I used to like on early-mid '90s-era Nickelodeon (real kids dealing with real problems, like school, sibling rivalry, friendships, dating, etc.), and there was no annoying laugh track. But while Lizzie McGuire did have it's moments, there were some...

    The "I Did Something Stupid Today" Thread

    I spilled some soy sauce on the table while I was eating lunch, and used my fingerless glove to clean it up (I was too lazy to go get a napkin:o).

    Questions about anything

    About the Big Bang Theory, does anyone think that a gender-flipped version of this show, with four average looking female nerds (as in, NOT the supermodels in Buddy Holly glasses Hollywood tries to put out as female nerds) who get a smoking hot guy roommate would be nearly as successful? (I'D...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I was reading this thread on the TV Tropes forum called "Worst Disney Villains" ("worst" as in character-wise, not as in their villainous actions). It's a few months old, and it sort of devolved into people arguing (I kept waiting for someone to post "my favorite villain can beat up your...

    Hate Jessie

    Bunnies make buzzing noises when they're happy, but you're right, they don't warble. Something else that bugs me about Jessie is the fact that these kids' parents just leave them to be raised by their nanny (and from what I understand, three of them are adopted). I don't know whether some...

    Questions about anything

    Same here. He was the only thing about the movie I didn't hate (well, I liked some of the songs, too). I don't know why, but for some reason, the villain and his assistant remind me of Mr. Burns and Smithers from the Simpsons. Don't know why, just the first thing that comes to mind. ;)
