    Halloween is just around the corner

    mr3uious is right! You ever read the expiration dates on those things? Technically you can buy them now for next year and they'll still be good by then. I have candy that doesn't expire until at least 2018, and it looks like it was on the shelves a while.

    The Wander over Yonder Thread

    Different company. Hanna Barbera works only on nostalgia. They still make Hong Kong Phooey merchandise from time to time and it does well despite not having any revival. Still, I got a Rikochet Rabbit Pop for like 3 bucks on clearance. Just because WB licenses out classic HB characters...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    It feels like something that desperately wants to be Tatsunoko but isn't. As in the characters look quite a bit like they'd come from that particular Japanese animation studio. Ken himself looks just a little like a certain other Ken from Gatchaman. I forget his Battle of the Planets name...

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    I doubt this is something they can easily control, to be fair. The blame lies mostly on whatever copyright holder his songs are in the hands of. Why they're refusing to let the show the songs were written utilize them in these legally released episodes is a matter of stubbornness, ineptitude...

    The Wander over Yonder Thread

    You'd think that a collector's toy company could read the room better and go with a show that has a loyal enough fanbase rather than a series that'd would be polarizing had more people spoken positively about it. And I don't just mean Wander. They certainly could have had Star Butterfly or...

    These Ugly Sesame Shirts were a thing, apparently.

    Just... Just... These exist. And I thought "Elmo loves the Bears" was bad. Yeah, I get that these are made out of recycled fabric and all, but... Sigh... How...how did these get by Sesame Workshop's licensing division? I can't even make a joke about bootlegs being better made...

    The Wander over Yonder Thread

    This just totally honked me off. So Funko made Pickle and Peanut vinyl figures. The show no one really likes got merchandise and WOY which has a sizable fanbase didn't get squat. yeah. That's fair.

    New 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' TV series

    I don't see a prequel working well. It's probably going to be just Flynn making failing inventions. They really should have done something with the (far superior) sequel's plotline on the food island, even if it's a kiddier, Westerner version of Toriko (only they don't eat the food creatures)...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I'm more of a mind to say that SW just can't keep track of everything it ever had created for the show. There's thousands of hours of footage, thousands of episodes... I don't think they have the money, resources, and manpower to sift through all that, especially when everything has multiple...

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    Ugh. That is disgusting. I don't know who's to blame for that, but it's a complete disservice to Sesame Street fans. As much as I'm usually a proponent of releasing old Sesame Street episodes on different platforms, if they can't get the rights to their own songs that were written for them...

    The Muppets on Netflix? Hulu? Amazon?

    It's obvious that a certain percentage of casual Muppet fans just want The Muppet Show, but even if we got that exactly, it'd be all like "Ew! I don't like such and such celebrity! Why can't they work with such and such who's either incredibly old or probably dead that I like much better?" or...

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    Okay. I think I am confused. The Raposo songs being edited are only for the rerun footage 30 minute episodes? I somehow got the feeling it also affects HBO/HBO Go run older episodes.

    Milo Murphy's Law: Upcoming Disney XD Cartoon series

    Oh...You mean this theme song? The show already had me at Weird Al and Marsh and Povenmire. These visuals send me over the top. This show isn't on TV soon enough.

    When you need to rant...

    Because no one listens to the radio anymore. It's just for the same popular music and idiotic rant shows that people mindlessly put on for background noise when they're driving and can't afford XM Sirius crap. When was the last time anyone here listened to the radio when it wasn't an alarm...

    Learn Something New Everyday Thread

    Huh. Found out the same producers of Angry Beavers were behind the production of the C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa cartoon. Not the creators, though...that was Mirage Studios collaborator Ryan Brown. Heck, Angry Beavers' creator was executive producer.

    Mixels Thread

    While I still think they should find a way to continue the franchise as toy only, pfft...whatever. At the end of the day, it's just a bunch of pre-existing blocks (with the exception of the rounded tooth piece) bunched together that someone else designed. It's not like they had to spend money...

    Mixels Thread

    So without major confirmation, it looks like these will end with series 9. I'm a little broken up about it. A little. I wish they could at least make a series 10 or rerelease some older sets that are now impossible to find. I really agree they botched the cartoon series and didn't give any...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    If the case is poor distribution like mine, I'm not surprised. Poor timing as kids who aren't already in school or about to go back and have no time to see movies is also a factor. But I swear... there's no love for stop motion movies anymore. I'm sick of seeing Laika's films underperform...

    Positive and Negative: Elmo In Grouchland

    MFS was all because of behind the scenes drama and a lousy director, and quite a bit of Joey's script was tossed out for banality. Uncle Matt was going to be in the movie, the ending was supposed to be more subtle and kept Gonzo's heritage ambiguous. EIG just felt like everything about the...

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    I'm just waiting for the day all the older episodes are replaced by a blurry still of a generic Anything Muppet over the sound of nothing for 50 minutes because they can't even get the rights to their own characters and actors. I understand that rights issues were written by madmen who had no...
