    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    That's the thing that completely baffles me about all of this. Now, I understand that you can't have the puppeteers working 24/7 on all the things they do. They're people, they need to take breaks and they need to recharge in between projects. I get it. What I don't get is how the internet...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    You know what Youtube desperately needs? A "Do not give me these piece of &^%$ videos I NEVER freaking want to watch in all my suggestions because I watched a video with one keyword that sort of matches" option. Errr... a "block all videos from this user" button. I've said this time and time...

    RIP Janet Waldo

    What also adds a little air of gloom about this is that today marks the second anniversary of the passing of Casey Kasem. It still feels like it wasn't that long ago, like it was incredibly recent.

    Questions about anything

    Here's my question. Is it just me, or are talk shows that aren't Ellen all just... incredibly disposable and forgotten within 2 years? Sure, Wendy Williams has been going on a few years, Rachel Ray is still a thing for some reason. But I've seen just long lines of contractual 2 year shows...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    That's exactly the problem. I've always said that a mainstream audience TV show wasn't going to get really good ratings. And it's the fickleness of the mainstream audience that somehow loves seeing someone wearing a Muppet T-shirt, buys a Funko Pop, laughs their butt off at a Family Guy...

    The All-Purpose Transformers thread

    Shout seems to be subject to whatever cuts of the source materials they're sent. That's a shame since Nick gave them the edited cuts of certain Rocko episodes, even though some of the "The Splat" prints of the show have the adult bits in tact. I say some, since "Hut Sut Raw" (stupid name I...

    The All-Purpose Transformers thread

    I for one am happy as heck that Shout factory decided to Re-release the original animated movie, hopefully having a better in print window than Sony's last release. It's almost as if that thing was only available for a couple months, and if you didn't snatch it up right straight away, you'd...

    RIP Janet Waldo

    That much I'll agree with, as more mainstream viewers don't know or care about who does what guy's voice unless it's a Kid's movie with celebrity voice actors in it. That's why you see a lot of "You'll never guess who voiced such and such" articles online that more savvy cartoon watchers have...

    Uncle Grandpa

    After what seems to have been forever, we've got a new "New Experiences" which features Beary Nice getting more sinister with each passing episode ("You'll do as I do and you'll like it!") and a twist ending where Also, loved how the last two episodes handled the "helping kids" plots in more...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    Sad? Don't you mean obvious?

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    While I think later rather than sooner, we'll find them in some form of media eventually. At any rate, I wouldn't mind a slightly sooner than later, but later than sooner so we can get a project that Muppet fans, both die hard and extremely casual (and everything in between) can get behind. I...

    RIP Janet Waldo

    With the exception of Christine, who died sadly young, here's the thing that's really depressing when you think about it. These actors made their debuts mostly in cartoons going back over a half a century. Inevitability takes us all, and I think we forget exactly how old these cartoon shows...

    RIP Christina Grimmie

    There's nothing I can say that wouldn't just be an easy attack on Republicans. I'm trying pretty hard to find a middle, but there's obviously none. I've been saying for years now that the party only panders to the religious types because they know that if they split from those voters and only...

    RIP Christina Grimmie

    Gangs are indeed a separate issue and frankly that sort of thing should be dealt with on its own terms. Seems anytime there's a mental health based tragedy that could have been taken care of, or even in the case of police brutality, gangs are always name checked. You cannot have the same...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    It's a not that funny joke, I agree. I'm not saying there won't be Muppet projects, nor do I agree that there never will be one again. I don't see one on the immediate horizon is all, but only because they're going to really have to do some thinking about what format the characters can come...

    RIP Christina Grimmie

    And they'll call him a terrible president for not doing anything and call him a terrible president for trying to get things done. When something like this happens you can't say "We need to do something!!! 'cept that....and that...and that...I really don't agree with that..." until there's...

    RIP Christina Grimmie

    Except the guy was born in the US, and was a natural citizen. It's not like violence is that exclusive to the Middle East and exclusive to that religion. And frankly, painting all Muslims as violent wackos is exactly what the actual violent wackos want. Remember that Anger leads to fear thing...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    I'd say turn Mereda from Brave into one but A) that's an obvious choice, B) certain film detractors already put that in a negative connotation, thus ruining it, and C) she kinda checked out one of the tributes at the end of the movie anyway. I'd say Disney, at least their animators and...

    RIP Christina Grimmie

    I'll point this out yet again. The very same politicians that always say that this is a mental health issue to route everyone away from gun control are the very same politicians that cut funding for mental health services at every opportunity. Because the mental health industry doesn't have a...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It probably made back its budget in China alone. And remember, this is the country that hated Guardians of the Galaxy and even Star Wars episode 7 because they got terrible subtitles. TMNT:OOTS had no less than 3 Chinese production companies (including Ali Baba), so it's clear we're making...
