I had some Muppety goodness on Laserdisc: GMC (the version where "Night Life" has no vocals, and all you hear as Piggy wanders down the dark alley is Big Ben tolling instead of Joe Raposo's scoring), and the rarity that is THE MUPPET MUSICIANS OF BREMEN.

I notice this year, instead of cutting the traditional A CHRISTMAS STORY marathon short for a marathon of THE BIG DANG THEORY, TBS is cutting it short for a mini-marathon of AMERICAN DAD! and FAMILY GUY . . . what do either of those shows have to do with Christmas? Well, this year's theme...

We already have general holiday threads so we don't have to keep starting new ones again every year: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/christmas-are-they-shoving-it-down-our-throats-too-early.56307/

According to Google's Santa Tracker, the fat guy and his little elf friends were just in my town about six minutes ago: Seems like his timing was about the same this year as it was last year (and the year before that he apparently arrived a few minutes after midnight).

Before my time. I do, however, remember Laserdiscs . . . for those of you who don't know, they were giant DVDs before DVDs were ever invented . . . and like records, you had to watch the flipside to finish a movie since an entire movie couldn't fit on one side.

I noticed the Subway has stained glass now - almost makes it look like a church.

I ended up bumping into a shelf on my wall where I have some collectibles - one of my Chipette figures fell off and right down the vent. She's too far down the air duct for me to reach by hand, wire coat hanger can't get her, and my vacuum doesn't have a hose for me to suck her out; it'd cost...

I asked the castmembers when I met them at the Knoxville Fanboy Expo if anything special for Season 50 was in the works, and they each told me that plans were already being made, and Bob even said there was the possibility of making special live appearances for concerts and such, so that at...

I think the less you watch a tape over and over again, the better it holds up, because to add to my previous post, a lot of my older tapes that still play well aren't ones that I particularly watched a lot growing up, whereas some of the more recent tapes that don't play well are ones that I've...

My cable provider (Comcast) always flat-out refused to carry Boomerang, they said it was because it was a commercial-free channel (ironic, considering they had no problem carrying any of the commercial-free Nick sub channels like Noggin, the N, Nicktoons, and what have you) - the only time I...

And irony is VCRs just went obsolete within the last year or two. My current one is really, really picky about certain tapes . . . it'll play really old ones (like say 15-20 years or older) just fine, but then there are certain tapes that are less then ten years old that it won't play without a...

And apparently, this was a real incident. The Uber driver looks like a Rankin/Bass orc at times, though.

And here's a similar one: ever notice throughout the 70s, a lot of secondary sitcom actors provided the voices for supporting characters? Pat Buttram (Mr. Haney on GREEN ACRES) did voices in THE ARISTOCATS, ROBIN HOOD, THE RESCUERS, and THE FOX AND THE HOUND George Lindsey (Goober on THE ANDY...

So apparently the new YouTube design has one good thing about it: the video player conforms to the size of the video clip. So, if you're watching a video that's 4:3, the video player will be 4:3, not 16:9 pillarboxed. Like I've been saying for a decade: now if they can only invent TV sets that...

I take it back, I do remember the last time I watched CN now: November 2009, because that was when EEE's Big Picture Show aired, and it was kind of a big deal.

Seriously? Cartoon Network hasn't been good since 2004. I honestly don't even remember the last time I watched Cartoon Network.

I'll agree the writing for SNOWDAY wasn't particular strong (and Hal comes off as a creepy, obsessive stalker when you think about it), and giving almost every major character in the movie a subplot that were intertwined with the other plot threads was unusual for a kids movie . . . still, as a...

Well, GOOD BURGER and SNOWDAY were . . . well, okay, I enjoyed them, I know most people pan both of them, but they entertained me. I actually still remember watching GOOD BURGER for the first time as a kid - I didn't laugh so hard and loud and frequently at a movie until I was a teenager and...

Alright. Today kiddies, our special midday matinee double feature will be RESEVOIR DOGS, followed by THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2!

I honestly don't even remember the last time I went to Blockbuster, but I can remember as a little tyke (this was before DVD), going to Blockbuster was actually quite fun: they even had a little corner of the store set up as a kids area, where they'd have kid tapes playing on a TV (SST...
