Yesterday I read the full summary at wikipedia (I still plan to see the movie, wouldn't be the first time I read the wikipedia summary before seeing the film) and there are a number of interesting things I was surprised by or didn't really think about. I guess TV Tropes will have...

I used to think that the Kit Kat Bar jingle went, "Gimmie a rake! Gimmie a rake! Rake me off a pizza that Kik Kat Bar!" And yeah, I thought it was "rake me off a pizza that...", meaning to rake off a pizza, as opposed to a way of saying "piece of". And thought "rake me off a pizza that...

So if Mahna Mahna isn't actually "flanderized" with saying his own name and doing performances and parodies of his song, then would the string quartet and Sax and Violence sketches count more as "early installment weirdness"/"characterization marches on"?

Another movie I like but everyone hates is It's Pat. I find it a very funny movie. TV Tropes mentions this in its "so bad it's horrible" page. That page mentions things like the sketches not being that funny in the first place (I haven't seen many of the original SNL sketches, but the ones I've...

Quite a few things about The Wonder Years episode "Walk Out"... During the first Home Room Council meeting, the students all suggest things that would interest most kids. One kid suggests the walk-out, to protest the war, and none of the other students are interested in the walk out until he...

Well, Mr. Peabody and Sherman has been released. Anybody here see it? Was it good (well, I've read that it's gotten good reviews)?

What's Morphin' Time?

The other day, I saw the episode of Family Guy with the cut-away where Cookie Monster is in rehab. The orderlies find cookies nearby, asking Cookie Monster who they got there, which Cookie Monster unconvincingly denies knowing how they got there. It's obvious that Cookie Monster was...

With all the clips that have surfaced and after reading the junior novel, it seems this movie will have just as many similarities to The Muppets Take Manhattan as it does The Great Muppet Caper. I'd like to tally up all the similarities I know of.

Well, the book does have the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. And it also has the Cracthet Children, though aside from Tiny Tim are the other kids named in the original book? This book mentions what happened to a number of characters who haven't been seen in a long time...

Yeah, Paramount even released stuff like The Big Stuffed Dog and some of the anniversary specials. The only "regular" special Paramount didn't release was You're in the Superbowl Charlie Brown (are the distribution rights owned by a different company?). Paramount also didn't release the 50th...

Yeah, but I had already expressed how surprised I was about their inclusion a few times. The ones I mentioned being surprised by are characters who I knew were owned by Disney. It's a shame Blind Pew wasn't included. He's a lot better than Spa'Am.

I don't care much for This is America, either. I like the ones involving NASA, the Smithsonian, and music (those last two feature some funny inside jokes about the strip). Speaking of This is America Charlie Brown, Warner Home Video is finally releasing the whole series on DVD. I assume...

The Mickey Mindset has reviewed the book: http://mickeymindset.blogspot.com/2014/03/book-review-muppets-character.html

I thought those park segments were just for the international shows (though I wondered why they couldn't just use the apartment for those). I wonder if the apartment and bedroom sets still exist. I would like to think they would, but there's been so little of Ernie and Bert in the last few...

Looking at the list of what's known to be on Alphabet Songs, there's going to be two songs about the letter Y, which means that not all letters will be represented with just one song. At first I wondered how many songs might be included, if there are songs for every letter and the cover said...

I can't help but wonder if including an image of Muppy on the Rufus page might have been done on purpose, as a joke on how the book says they hate being mistaken for each other. Though if it was a joke, it's probably lost on casual readers who don't even know either character. I know that...

It seems like the recent Metlife commercials with the Peanuts characters aren't that funny, either (I can't remember if the older ones from Schultz's lifetime were, but at least the ones I can remember were enjoyable). Like one where Lucy suggests that insurance be 5 cents, and Charlie Brown...

It seems like the "main image" of some characters isn't really the right image for their main image. Somebody already pointed out that the main image of Hilda was of her in a wig, but also: the main image of Rufus is of him wearing a bus drivers cap which covers his eyes (and the other picture...

On May 6, there'll be a release called "Alphabet Songs", with songs for every letter of the alphabet, as well as "Learning Letters with Elmo" as a bonus feature (I would have included an older alphabet video). Muppet Wiki lists a few of the songs, including U Really Got a Hold of Me (the...
