    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    It looks like the next season is the last. And on the one hand, it really sucks, especially since they don't even rerun the show regularly anymore. But on the other hand, I really think if there was a time to end the show, it's now. Character arcs are closing, there really isn't too much more...

    These Ugly Sesame Shirts were a thing, apparently.

    I can give them credit for not being forced to stick to the rigid style guides that are absolute law when it comes to merchandising. It's the reason why the merchandise of any given franchise seem to have the same poses and expressions on them. I honestly can't chide these shirts for having a...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    Cuz they grew out of watching cartoons on a regular basis when they got older. heck, Rick and Morty proves that adult cartoons can have depth and not just be a collection of 1980's references and jokes about drugs and sex. Not that I'm prudish, mind you, but it seems those are the easy...

    Bring back the old theatre format

    I honestly don't think the old theater format would have been good for them either. Maybe if MMW were successful, but certainly not in this television climate. Being brutally honest, I don't think any version of the Muppets would fit on television today no matter how much of the causal fanbase...

    Commercial RAVE Time

    While anything can be said about the General Mills Satur-yaaaayyyeeeaaaahhh commercials (I do like the He-Man reference in the latest one), I have to admit I rather like the new Lucky Charms ads where Lucky's just hangin' around with his marshmallow shape pals. Sure, I do kinda miss the "always...

    These Ugly Sesame Shirts were a thing, apparently.

    To be fair, The Count one isn't terrible either. The Cookie Monster one has some charm. You'd think SW would be a little more protective and shove the style guide and model sheets in their faces. On the plus side, at least they allowed one company to do its own thing. I rather like those...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    If there's one thing I hate about how this movie is reported, it's the word "Reboot." I totally think it was a placeholder film and one GB film of many, and clearly made because Sony just wanted another GB film out there. I really don't see how any Ghostbusters movie would replace the original...

    Sesame Street Season 46 begins on PBS Monday September 12, 2016

    I'd assume he means those who don't already know about the massive shifts in the show's format this season.

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    I'll admit, it is a bit unfair to vilify anyone in this without knowing the full story. Home video rights are always illusive, and multiple parties can come to blame for these kinds of things, and in the end it's easier to just go around them and cut things or redub things. Still, if we don't...

    When you need to rant...

    Insurance is a scam. Doesn't matter what kind of insurance it is, there's so much shiftiness behind them that's somehow perfectly legal. But what amazes me is the clustercrap of health insurance and how the entire health industry works. Insurance drives the cost of medicine, procedures...

    Sesame Street Season 46 begins on PBS Monday September 12, 2016

    There was probably more anger at it being on HBO than anything that was changed in the series. I'm sure quite a few are going to be surprised to find out the show actually isn't HBO exclusive.

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    When reading the name of this upcoming episode, I figured it was going to be a clip show. Considering the show's budget and the fact that anime studio animated segment last episode probably wasn't cheap, I would actually have been understanding. But thankfully, we got a collection of very...

    The Steven Universe thread

    I really like this trend of guest anime studios/animators in Cartoon Network shows. First we had Masaaki Yuasa's wonderful spin on Adventure Time, then we had Studio 40C's work on The Fury episode of Gumball, now we have Studio Trigger's collaboration for Garnet's song in this latest episode...

    SST Movie/TV Parodies Wishlist/Ideas

    All the more annoying is that they do have Sherlock Hemlock, and I assume that they probably recast him as well. I don't see why between Sherlock, Elementary, and the Edgar Wright Sherlock Holmes movies they didn't once use the character to capitalize on any of that. Dr. Who...well, at least...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It sounds a little vague about Chris Evans and his roles in the films. It just sounds like Civil War was a natural write off point for the character, and an instrumental plot point for the MCU. I'd imagine that the huge fight with Iron Man was written to be the character's point of conflict of...

    Yeah, but Crazy Bus isn't as important to Arthur as.. the freaking theme song is to Sesame Street.;)

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I know exactly about just that and yeah. Shame on them for letting all of that happen, and shame on them for not adding one freaking minute of credits to accommodate the animators. But it's equally angering that they'd have to shaft the animators like that because no major studio wants to...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    Bumble Ardy did air for a while on the show, and I totally remember seeing it several times. I've never seen Seven Monsters on the show personally, even in the mid-80's where a lot of earlier bits still were on the series. I mean, I'd totally remember that freaky house running into the screen...

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    That's where it gets into a prickly artist rights issue. I'm strongly for artists' rights and all, I know what went down with Jack Kirby and all and it sucked. I applaud the fact that modern Batman projects credit Bill Finger (finally), and when it comes to music, I hate how even some families...
