Here, Ben Minnotte looks at a couple of the Sesame Street videos that were made for the Interactive Vision. Looking back, it does seem a lot better than the Captain Power toys in the 1st segment and all other VCR games before, it as the system can produce its own graphics and you can alter the...

Long-time 60 Minutes journalist and CBS News correspondent Morley Safer has passed away at 84 from pneumonia, just over a week after announcing his retirement from the former show. He should be able to reunite with Ed Bradley, Mike Wallace, and Andy Rooney soon. :cry...

This is a long-overdue thread for another celebrity death, but I figure this one is deserving. Japanese musician Isao Tomita died of cardiac arrest back on May 5 at the age of 84...

Can't believe no one's reported this yet. JHC has produced a new series called Word Party, which is a vocabulary-based preschool program using its digital puppetry system, and will be heading to the streaming service around June 3 along with two other original series...

I admit, I've never really given a crap about this Bowdlerized amalgamation of two completely unrelated animes growing up, but this reboot coming to Netflix in June has certainly piqued my interest. It will utilize more stories focusing on the human characters, and will supposedly have a...

Break out the Irish Spring and the Guinness (or the Shamrock Shakes for the underage and teetotalers), 'cause today is the one time of the day where it is easy being green! Namely because you're immune to getting pinched! :):confused::D:skeptical::crazy::electric::grouchy::search::coy::busy:

Watching the first two episodes last night, I actually kind of liked this show, but I don't see how its concept of a "perfect" religious family who all hide dirty secrets would carry itself as a TV show. Unlike the other ABC sitcoms on today like Fresh Off the Boat and The Goldbergs, the O'Neals...

I think this is one of the best web animations out there. It's about a world where "Huntsmen" and "Huntresses" fight against supernatural creatures using weapons and tech powered by a mystical element called "Dust", and focuses on four female protagonists training to be Huntresses at a special...

Famed author of To Kill a Mockingbird, and more recently Go Set a Watchman, passed away in her sleep this morning at age 89. http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2016/02/harper_lee_dead_at_age_of_89_t.html It's unfortunate that up until last year, Mockingbird was Lee's only book she published, but...

The actor best known for his roles on Barney Miller and Godfather (and to younger audiences, in the Good Burger movie as well) has passed away peacefully at 94. All those running gags about him mistakenly being dead can finally be put to rest...

Cancer claims the life of yet another celebrity, this time the guitarist/pianist/lead singer of The Eagles at the ripe old age of 67. :( http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jan/18/glenn-frey-eagles-guitarist-dies-67/

I got to thinking recently about Bill Cosby and his alleged sexual assault controversies, and it made me wonder: is it still right to enjoy his past work and laugh at his jokes given all this? And does some of the stuff in his infamous "Pound Cake Speech" from 2004 suddenly become irrelevant...

I admit, watching the first episode I had doubts about this show since it seemed to fall into the same trap so many others of its kind fall into with vulgarity (like with the little redneck boy who's still in diapers despite way past the age of growing out of them) and mean-spiritedness (with...

Recently there's been a ton of mergers this decade not seen since the 1990s, both completed and in progress: Kraft merging with Heinz (hasn't the former been bought out and reorganized enough already?), Anheuser Busch with Miller (both of which have already merged with other brewing companies...

I will admit, I didn't find this show that's like Miami Vice-meets-City Hunter-meets-Archer very fantastic compared to its latter inspiration, but like the muppets., I feel that it started to reach its potential by the end of the season, especially with the twist in the finale about Rad...

I've gotta say, this whole Lion King meets The Avengers business has been real solid, especially considering its for preschoolers. The animation is especially beautiful, and very close in quality to the movies (surprised it isn't CG like so many other shows of its kind, but it's welcoming...

Anyone remember this old video series? They were aimed at preschoolers with music written & sung by Hap Palmer, essentially a competitor to Raffi back in the '80s-mid '90s. Nowadays most of these are babyish and a bit awkward for me to enjoy unironically. This especially goes for songs like...

You know that bizarre unlicensed My Little Pony fighting game that got a cease-and-desist letter from Hasbro a couple of years ago? Well, it's being revamped thanks to Lauren Faust with an original plot and characters, and with a cast of a variety of hoofed mammals in place of the ponies...

I'm no Trekkie, but this should excite some fans: Star Trek is getting the first new series since Enterprise went off the air a decade ago with Alex Kurtzman, writer of the reboot movies, on board with its development. Who knows if this will take place the same continuity of the movies or if it...

Since we've had a thread for Wabbit, I decided to make one for the latest incarnation of those meddling kids and their dog. Even though this series isn't as good as its predecessor Mystery Incorporated, which really piled on the drama and nightmare fuel the further it went on, it holds its own...
