    COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

    We finally continue to make some progress: as of today, the CDC has reaffirmed if you are fully vaccinated, the only instance in which you still need to wear a mask as this point is if you are among strangers; otherwise, masks are no longer necessary for vaccinated people to wear.

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    It does feel kind of sad though that Jim's original intentions of having the Muppets be these various different colors to make them adaptable to any kind of race without them obviously representing any specific races has become sort of a moot point in our contemporary times where racial...

    The Loud House Thread

    I was kind of hoping the animation would be really bumped up for the movie, and it probably would have if Chris Savino's theatrical movie didn't get axed after he got fired. I mean, the backgrounds look a little more lush, but otherwise, the overall animation's still exactly the same, and I...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For the longest time, I thought Johnny T. performed the leopard DJ on ANIMAL JAM because I remember the character having a kind of Steve Whitmire-esque voice (similar to Weldon) and that was around the time John was filling in for Steve as Ernie on PWMS, but as it turns out, John actually...

    Little things we've noticed

    Given that Jerry was one of the core performers back in the day along with Jim, Frank, and Richard, I just know that after TMS became immensely popular, and other Muppet projects took up a lot of their time, they usually would travel back to New York for one week a year to dedicate to taping new...

    Little things we've noticed

    It seems like Jerry Nelson's availability throughout the 90s and into the 2000s had really increased a lot more to the point that not only did we see more of Count, but also Herry seemed to become a major character again during this time, and a lot of AMs and other incidental characters were...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Marty Grabstein's anecdote in this video reminds me how Tony Sampson apparently went through about 200 takes of Eddy saying, "Yep, good times!" because Danny Antonucci wanted it a certain way, and it apparently took him about 200 tries to get it just right. On another note, in rewatching his...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    One thing that Greg Bailey has said is that the guests get to request what sort of animal they want to be depicted as, but more often than not, they request bunnies. When they had the Bang on a Can All-Stars on the show, frontrunner Julia Wolfe also requested to be a bunny, but they told her no...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    Maybe, but at the same time, I feel like in years past, they probably couldn't have offered a more serious response, let alone give us the "they are if you want them to be" option without it severely hurting them as a brand, when you consider that even as recently as, say, fifteen years ago, you...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    Perhaps 50 YEARS OF SUNNY DAYS wasn't exactly the most accurate title to give this special as a whole, since, again, the history of SS was more or less used to set up context for how they were never afraid to tackle such serious issues, and how that continues and ties into their curriculum and...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    Admittedly, if there was one thing about this special that bothered me just in the slightest, was taking certain clips from classic sitcoms and basically using them to illustrate what narrow-mindedness looked among the television landscape in previous decades . . . that's such a Millennial...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    Yeah, I was getting ready to point this out as well; it felt like the history of SS was but a mere foreword to a documentary of how SS has tackled and handled current events in recent years - and even now, we're getting ready to discuss the COVID pandemic after the current commercial break. I...
