    Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

    It's funny that about 10+ years ago, we were speculating that a new Muppet Babies would be CGI, and everyone complaining about it as if 2-D animation is any different. What can I say but, I totally wanted them to do this ever since word caught on of The Muppets being canned. If Muppets are...

    When you need to RAVE!

    Sometime last decade they gave Ryan Seacrest a star on this thing, and some local radio station were telling people to literally crap on it and take a photo. Can't remember if they jokingly added they'd get money for it or not and I think someone did attempt it and got arrested before he could...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    YAY! Looks like Homestar Runner is going to get a Halloween special again this year.

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

    I feel terrible for the kids on this one as our school year ends in June. June is exactly when stores start up Back to School Shopping because they tend to think nationally, and some schools get out in May regionally (or so I'm told). And the thing I get is that a lot of parents want the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    The fact Orange Rage wants to sue the heck out of anyone who talks smack about him, especially if it's fact, should be scaring the heck out of more of the American public. If nothing else paints him as a despot, it should be suppression of the press. All I'm saying.

    Commercial rant time...

    The sad thing is, I really wondered if that was that song considering how it's covered. I've noticed a pattern. When it's a guy singing the downbeat cover, it's supposed to be soothing, but when a woman sings one, it's supposed to be unnerving. I've hated both of these. I've hated how the...

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

    Yeah. But for a candy company to completely want to skip Halloween. That's just... incredibly counter-intuitive.

    Will Looney Tunes ever find success again?

    I have no idea why they decided to make Disney cartoons so inaccessible in the 80's and 90's. I mean, I get they were trying to sell a channel and all back when it was a premium. But Looney Tunes cartoons have always been much more accessible. It's just weird that merchandising was the...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Let's be honest here. What is this amazing indie screenplay they're going to produce instead of remakes and sequels? Cuz it sounds amazing. I totally understand that the entertainment industry is just that an industry. And I understand there are hundreds of scripts, thousands of scripts that...

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

    Why the heck did Hershey start airing the Christmas Bells Kiss add from forever ago a week into October when there's another totally candy based holiday coming up that would make more sense to advertise? Just because I've given up on Halloween doesn't mean you get to.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    And releasing it at the end of July where most films go to die wasn't too much of a good idea either. I agree it's unfair that this movie pretty much made back its budget and will no doubt carry that over to DVD sales and broadcast rights. There's something weaselly about movie accounting...

    Sesame Street Halloween episode to air on HBO October 29, 2016

    TV listings said "Snazzy Society," but I usually take those with a grain of salt up to a week before.

    Animated Pilots You Wish Became a Full Series

    For a really old one, I remember reading in the book "The Moose that Roared" that the last thing Jay Ward productions did outside of Cap'n Crunch commercials was a series called "Rah Rah Woozy" about a mouse playing college football. Ward was a big fan of College Football, you see. Hence the...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    Here's some old Nickelodeon promos for non-Nickelodeon shows. Now, I remember that Inspector Gadget kept ping ponging from syndication to Nickelodeon every so often. The last time the show was on the network was when Disney released that awful movie in '99. hey. Remember when a movie...

    Commercial rant time...

    I wanna make the obvious joke about "hey! It's probably healthier than what they put in real children's candy." It's just...surreal considering we have this epidemic of a drug you can actually overdose from and how it's become a political prop in New Hampshire (which we get the political ads...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    I'd see some sort of mythology behind the series's backdrop. Seems like there could be something interesting there. As long as it isn't one of those terrible excuse movies that puts all the current stars of their kidcoms into some schticky, sitcomy situation. As for Double Dare, I'm psyched...

    Nintendo makes the Switch!

    Hopefully the advances in technology helped with the cost. One of the biggest problems with game developers in the NES era was that it was a financial drain for the developers to have to send things to Nintendo's factories to encase their games in expensive plastics. Among other things...

    Commercial rant time...

    While I wouldn't normally use this to rant about political attack ads, I found out something related to my state's new anti-pot legalization scare ads. They're bankrolled by the freaking alcohol industry. :rolleyes: I'm not going to go into a rant about pro or con voting to legalize the...

    Nintendo makes the Switch!

    At this point, the only real reason to own a Nintendo system is to play games with Nintendo characters. And that's perfectly fine by me. I'm glad Jaxx Pacific actually has a Nintendo toy line as spotty as the distribution is. Nintendo's viable as a brand outside making actual video games as...

    Nintendo makes the Switch!

    Personally, I'm out of the video game loop completely, and I know someone's gonna give me something for being a retro-gaming fan over all the newest innovations and games. I never really cared much for 3-D platforming games and I really just can't into FPS and stuff like that. The last thing...
