    Early on-location videotape segments

    SS was shot on videotape from the get-go: the producers felt like shooting the show on videotape could give it the appearance of a live broadcast. They were ahead of their time in that videotape had finally caught up to recording color, though not that great at the time, hence why Oscar ended up...

    Whose Line Is It Anyway Fans

    While I do love improv comedy, and I really admire the comics involved with the show, such as Colin Mochrie, Brad Sherwood, Wayne Brady, Greg Proops, and many others, it's hard for me to watch the show anymore, given the hard time the fandom had given me when I was a kid. In hindsight, I realize...

    Home Improvement fans

    I'm watching every Sunday on UPtv, and I think they just got started on Season 5 the last time I watched. So far, it's a really funny season, so I'm not sure how late the later seasons you feel are weak.

    Home Improvement fans

    I'm not sure yet, but I mean, honestly, a lot of shows start running out of steam in their later seasons, so that's pretty much normal.

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    There once was a fanfiction author whose work I was a fan of - I always liked her writing style, and I felt like her stories were very well-written, and that she wrote the characters very well in-character. I got to thinking and reminiscing about how it's been so many years since I've read any...

    Home Improvement fans

    Many of them are kind of subtle, like if you're a fat guy (like me), you pick up on it, but other people might not.

    Home Improvement fans

    Yeah, like I said, with George, it was random moments where somebody would mention him being "stocky" or "having generous proportions," but with Al, it's as much as part of ridicule he receives for just about everything about his very being: his flannel, his beard, his being "dull," you name...

    The New New Quote Thread

    Perhaps, but how do we know they weren't using whatever older puppets they had on hand? Or, maybe they just had enough of the fur in their stock to do new builds of those characters?

    The New New Quote Thread

    Inside info has it the reason why we've been seeing less of Rizzo (and other rats) is because they don't make the fur that was used to fabricate them anymore.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Ugh. Back to subscription updates being like a week late. :rolleyes:

    Home Improvement fans

    In watching more episodes of HOME IMPROVEMENT, I'm struck by something I've noticed that happens not only to Al, but something he seems to share with George Costanza from SEINFELD, in that they both seem to be on the receiving end of jokes and remarks about being fat. With George, it's more or...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    Despite the better part of the latter half of May being above average, it's looking like we'll actually stay below average for the next couple of weeks . . . which is fine by me! Especially if it'll stay that way for my birthday this year, which has only happened, to the best of my memory, only...

    When will The Muppet Show Seasons 4-5 and Muppets Tonight arrive on DVD?

    Oh no, how terrible it is! Just like it's also been 11 years since Warner Bros. released Season 2 of ED, EDD N EDDY on DVD!

    Was it Romain lettuce? My mom got food poisoning from that earlier this year.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I was kind of hoping that the particular cast members who were doing the convention tour for Season 50 (Caroll, Steve, Alan, Roscoe, Emilio, Bob, and Alison) would return to my town again this year, since the annual Knoxville Fanboy Expo (the summer one anyway) is now a little over a month away...

    Do you personally think the future Muppets show on Disney+ will fail miserably like the ABC show?

    Yes, because Disney is basically making this as exclusive as possible: if some people out there already have Netflix or Hulu or Amazon, why would they want to buy yet another streaming service just because it's Disney-exclusive? That'd be like already having, say, Comcast, or Charter, or Dish...
