    What bothers me about Disney's ownership

    Have you noticed that Disney owns Muppet Babies, but trots out stuff like Baby Pooh, Baby Mickey, and Baby Princess? I mean, they can't find any place for the original, but they have enough room for the cheap knockoffs?

    Ready to Learn Promos

    Anyone seen these? They usually air (around me) after the block of shows hosted by that woman and that CGI hamster... they include Get Wordy: featuring Guy Smiley, Cookie, T-Bone (from Clifford), and Grandma Thora (from Arthur) Star Finder: featuring Ernie, Oscar, Theo (Between the...

    What I think happened...

    ..concerning Disney's lack of Muppet attention lately. I feel that the only reason Disney bought the Muppets was after negotiations with Pixar broke down, and they were purchased on the rebound as a way to glom onto something with some quality to it. You see, Disney's last few animated films...

    What became of syndication?

    Remember the glory days of syndication? When cartoon shows and old sitcom reruns abounded? Well, look at the situation of TV now... corrupted by countless annoying "Judge fill in the blank" shows. On the air currently Judge Joe Brown Judge Mathis Christina's Court Judge Hatchett...

    Get up... it's time to play!

    Remember how a lot of us wanted to get rid of JTE? Hope yer happy :sympathy: (j/k) Seriously, this is the WORST thing I've seen on SS, right up there with "Do the Fruit/Veggie Dance" and that "y...Y..YYYYYY... Da letter Y" thing I always complain about. It's verging on Barney-esque down...

    New George of the Jungle show?

    www.studiobproductions.com I was thumbing through the September copy of Animation magazine when I saw a blurb about this production company, and George of the Jungle was listed as new projects. From the discription it seems pretty good... Firstly, it's about time a new Jay Ward animation...

    CBS tries new SatAM line up...?

    I think? I just read this in Animation Magazine: And I didn't think there could be anything worse than the lame Nick Jr. shows they had on now. This is their first original Sat Am line up since 2001 or so, and of course they have to pollute it with more of the same annoying programming...

    Cars: a review

    After getting assaulted by numerous hideous previews (including Disney's Upteenth "feel good sports drama based on ture events" and multiple CGI films about tlaking animals, most from companies starting into the business...poorly at that), I finally got to the Pixar segment. First,a preview for...

    What bugs me about Little Jerry...

    Have you ever noticed that other than Telephone rock all their music sounds like 1950's style rock? But yet, the characters are dressed like late 60's hippies. I find that pretty strange. After all, they sing one type of music, yet dress another.

    Let's say they would make MB DVD's.....

    Let's just say they would for the sake of argument. Now, fantasy thinking, I feel I'd want season by season sets. But more practically, I'd see Disney releasing smaller disks for younger audiences. Secondly, would evedrything be in tact? AS of late numerous Muppet DVD's and videos have...

    After seeing the Sex and Violence pilot...

    I have to say a few things. First of all, I like how there were no guest stars getting in the way of the Muppets, so instead of Musical numbers, they had more wacky skits and sketches. It flowed better, and I really wish they could have done that format at some point. I feel that if I were...

    Chef dunks coworker in pudding

    I swear I did not make this one up! Considering the fact that I'm a Muppet fan, you can imagine what I was picturing in my head. Reminds me of some Olde English poem I read in high school, in which someone scalds someone else with Pudding broth.

    Rocky 6 begins shooting today

    While several (hundred) sequals to long lost movie franchises have been either rumors (Back to the Future 4), in developement purgatory (Indiana Jones 4), or completely abandoned (Can't think of a specific title, there's so many I forgot them all), this one will make it. The filming has just...

    Finally saw Elmo in Grouchland

    In case anyone wants to know, I'm on a mission to see all the Muppet Movies, and I had to see this. I need to see KSY next... but anyway: Usually when I write a review, I give an entire synopsys and comment on it. But since I have limited time, I'll just go right to the Gritty Gritty...

    And the next live action cartoon remake Is.......

    UNDERDOG.... sounds good? not when you read the premise... I regret ever saying "I'd like to see an Underdog film." Considering this is the same studio that SLAUGHTERED the Inspector Gadget movie, I'm not surprised that a cartoon Dog will be played by a real Dog. (BARF!!) How could they...
