    Things the Muppets can't do anymore

    I kind of see it both ways, to be honest. This is why I, personally, don't believe in either being LGBT is a "choice," but I also don't necessarily believe that you're "born that way," either. I can't really explain it, but as @MWoO points out, I don't think really little kids (like, preschool...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Year-wise, yeah, but mainly because there was such a long gap between the original seasons and the uncanceled seasons, as well as the Big Picture Show; otherwise, I think Dexter as well as PPG lasted longer, episode-count-wise. But then again, unlike Dexter and PPG, EEE also had separate...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    CN actually had a really clever way of launching the advertising and promotional campaign for EEE in November 1998: they launched it after the first broadcast of the C&C episode "Night of the Ed."

    Things the Muppets can't do anymore

    Yeah, but, here's the thing: This. Primetime shows - whether on network, cable, or streaming, are kind of expected to test boundaries, push envelopes, and shock people with the content they can get away with. The Muppets, on the other hand, being a more family-oriented (notice, I didn't say...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    This is strictly observational, not trying to start anything. . . . So, there's this stigma/stereotype that if a woman wear a necktie, she must be a lesbian. Whether or not that stigma is true is beyond me (maybe people think that because Ellen De Generes always wear suits, I dunno), but from...

    EEE's freakin' twenty now! I still remember, vividly, as a kid, all of the hype surrounding it as a new show on CN!

    Things the Muppets can't do anymore

    That's pretty much the response from YouTubers who were watching clips of Old School SS for the first time; once guy even said, "Wow! Kermit was a b!+c# back then!"

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    So . . . :sigh: . . . the next handful of days are gonna be above average. This is really becoming rote. What happened to all that, "El Nino's gonna bring about an exceptionally cold and messy winter for us this year" jazz?

    The Nostalgia Critic Thread Lives Again!

    I guess people have gotten over the whole #ChangeTheChannel movement, because it's almost as if it never happened: neither the Walker brothers, nor Michaud ever really did anything to address or speak out about the incident, and they've pretty much just carried on with Channel Awesome as if it...

    Boy, is this forum dead today or what?

    One newer feature MC has that I will say I think has been abused, to an extent, is changing usernames. Way back when, the only way you could change your username was to either put in a request to Phil and see if he would granted it, or abandon your current account and register a new one with a...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    All I can say is, I'm not much of a fan of when there's an extra "limbo" week of November after Thanksgiving Day, because then that just causes even more problems, especially with people who feel it necessary to put up Christmas immediately after Thanksgiving, even though there's still like a...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I wonder if kids today even know how to play games like hide-and-seek, tag, duck-duck-goose, Simon says, I spy, or other playground favorites?

    That was a good example of Jim seeing potential in somebody who didn't think they had the potential.

    I had to keep looking until I saw mine. I submitted more than just the photo, but the photo is all they used, so, oh well.
