    Pet Peeves

    Trolls that aren't even clever or funny. I do get some nonsense comments on DA from time to time, and even then, at least its structured nonsense. Speaking of which, I kept getting this obnoxious guy, I don't even think he's a troll so much as just someone with the mind of a small child asking...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Yeah. Cuz Sesame Street has never been cancelled. Though the deal with HBO pretty much saved the series from it. I like to think of Sesame Street, The Simpsons, and Saturday Night Live as the extreme opposite of a revival. Shows that have been on long enough, change were gradual enough that...

    The "You know what?" thread

    These are clearly for nostalgia purposes. I understand the reasoning behind bringing the big purple doofus back, and I must admit, at least he didn't ask kids which triangle was the green one for 30 seconds of silence. Other than that, preschool programming (with the exception of certain shows...

    The "You know what?" thread

    It's a little too early to be a 90's throwback. Maybe in a couple more years? Maybe in five years when the 00's come back? I am starting to see adult nostalgic Barney merchandise, and much has my feelings about the character have changed over time, I still can't really fathom it. I'm of the...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Real O'Neals managed to grow into its premise. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me when it stopped being "look at the weird family that can't even get accepted by their own peers" and started using the main kid's sexual persuasion to the full extent of trying to make it as someone that...

    The "You know what?" thread

    So... Teletubbies made a grand return to television on Nick Jr recently. All I ask is why?

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I have tried very hard not to be really insulted by this show getting cancelled and replaced by something far inferior, since that's kinda what I expected all along here. But then I saw the trailer for ABC's next quirky family sitcom. Speachless. No...that's not what I am, that's the name of...

    The Wander over Yonder Thread

    Probably because they have that Nickelodeon like obliviousness to what kids actually like? You know...like how Nick keeps on making TV shows based on internet things that no one wanted or asked for. I'm absolutely elated that the "Kids react" series was only a pilot. So far... I hope... But...

    Bits you'd like to see re-done for today's show

    I'd actually like to see more of those stop motion versions of older animated skits and songs, but similar to the "Pinball Number Count" competition, something that uses the original recordings. Haven't seen that European (?) studio's animation for some time in the series. The same ones that...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    To be perfectly honest, Trolls doesn't look technically bad, just like something that would have been acceptable as a kid's CGI movie over 10 years ago. Certainly before Dreamworks turned the corner with movies like Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. It looks at least relatively...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Not five minutes after I posted that, I found a really stupid and probably dangerous movie that is far more worthy of overreacting to on TVTropes... AmeriGeddon, a paranoid delusional far far right propaganda piece unsurprisingly produced by medicine wagon barker sociopath Alex Jones. Now, I...

    The Wander over Yonder Thread

    I like XD in theory, but the fact that Disney didn't insist that it be as available as its main channel on cable packages, dooming it to be the obscure channel that only comes in the more expensive packages. Wander never got the audience it deserved mainly due to that inaccessibility. Look at...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I can't believe the original movie mentioned is 4 years old at this point. ONLY 4 years ago. Somehow it feels a lot longer than that. And we haven't so much as seen a DTV Oogieloves project since. WOW! I guess this is the one time we should be glad that preschool movies never make money at...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I'd at least agree with that sentiment more if "wholesome family movies" didn't automatically turn into bad talking animal movies and/or manipulative garbage that even Hallmark Channel wouldn't touch by movie producers. I agree there should be quality family movies that aren't animated, but I...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Maybe because Dory doesn't blow up every five seconds so China doesn't know what the heck is going on. I really shouldn't be harping on the fact China loves terrible movies since that's the only way Pacific Rim became profitable, cuz it wasn't released against an Adam Sandler movie that...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    And after Dexter's late night block on weekends, Billy and Mandy apparently. I really hope this means Boomerang is at least considering a rival to Teen Nick's "The Splat" with older CN shows. They also used to have Chowder, but that disappeared off of weekends months ago.

    Uncle Grandpa

    Don't know how to feel that they burned out that many episodes in one day, but ...alright I guess. Pizza Steve was at his worst in Dinosaur Day. Wound up getting it in the end anyway by getting eaten. Like, what is that? The third time, fourth time he was eaten? Let's see...once by Ric...

    I'm not surprised by these results at all Well... a little surprised that Tarzan managed to do that good. I had a feeling BFG wouldn't do well, and it did slightly worse than I thought it would. They were insane to release it too close to Finding Dory, as that's been proven a picture that's...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    In the case of the Chipmunks, Viacom didn't produce the show in any capacity. They just bought it and it was a big enough hit that a second season was ordered. After all, the show was searching for a home in the US for a couple years. I'm surprised that Nick of all companies jumped on it...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    Hilariously, the new Tarzan film is being chided for it's awful looking CGI, but getting negatively compared to the absolutely gorgeous CGI job of Disney's Jungle Book movie. That said, I have absolutely no desire to see Tarzan, especially when they say Samuel L Jackson's the only good thing...
