    Why the Time is Right for a New Muppet Babies

    Considering this is all hypothetical, I would honestly rather see the one thing the original series never did. Just have the characters voiced by their respective puppeteers, or at least their understudies. I think that could very well be accomplished.

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    If there's one thing I hate being right about, it's something cynical like that. That only goes to prove that it would have at least got a second chance had it not for trying very hard to please the stock holders. I thought them torpedoing Disney Infinity (which still should have been license...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    I think at this point they're just trying to pick apart anything they can to find ways to hate on it. Though I'd at least I'd count that as a valid enough complaint compared to some of the "WAAAAHHH! It hurtz my chyldhud!" crap. I think picking on CGI is something to expect yet something...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Not that there aren't shows that networks actually believe in and try to get to work. But instant hits tend to lose an audience if the following seasons tend to slide in quality. Heroes is the most well known example, though that at least got like 4 or 5 seasons out of it (not counting the...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Shows that do exceedingly well in their first season never manage to keep that level the whole way through and burn out quickly. Shows need time to develop, this series didn't get it.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    So, Angry Birds had a disappointing 39 Mil opening, but managed to be in the top spot With the nonstop marketing, it really sucks this didn't even crack a full modest 40 mil or even 45 mil opening in the US. I'm not broken up about it, it's a fun film, not a great one, but I had a ball at it...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    The new TMNT movie doesn't even come out for another 2 weeks and already they have to spoil a (fairly obvious) plotline for the next film. While in all honesty, the third film already sounds better than the original third film (though I'm one of the few that actually preferred it to the...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    I'd say this series is just suffering first season syndrome. Seems they're spending most of the episodes establishing different allies and antagonists for future episodes. Though some feel like they've been there the entire time (not in the random Pig Goat Banana Cricket sort of way, though)...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Angry Birds has an inherent story. Fruit Ninja doesn't. I'll save my review of Angry Birds for later. I really enjoyed it a lot more than I should have. But they got the story to work more or less as a movie origin story type film. I have no idea what Fruit Ninja could be or would be. I...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    While I don't think it needed those, it couldn't have hurt to slowly integrate those into the show as time went on. My main issue with the show because it never reached its full potential, there wasn't enough time for more characters to get a developed plot. As in there were too many...

    TV shows and movies turned into comic books

    Anyone going to bother with DC's Darker and Edgier Hanna Barbera comics? They look meh except for Future Quest and maybe The Flintstones. I was really psyched for Wacky Raceland...until I saw what they're doing with the characters. Dick Dastardly shouldn't look like he's being played by...

    Sesame Workshop Launches "Sesame Studios"

    I don't know, but that thing is incredibly visually unappealing. Not that it doesn't look kinda Henson-y. But somehow it looks like someone took that guy from Zula Patrol and did that thing they did with Scooby-Doo and Garfield when they had movies. Yuck.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Ugh. Okay. Remember when The Lego Movie became such an unexpected hit that as soon as it made it's first weekend box office haul other companies were eager to jump on the bandwagon? Like a Pez movie, a Playmobil movie, and even an Emoji movie (which disgusts me to the core, but the little...

    The Clarence thread

    I especially love how the roles were genderbent, making Brady the mermaid and her the centaur. Also Jeff flipping out and trying to sabotage any attempt Baker tries to give them the test he didn't study for. Also I'd like to point out, Jeff must've been happy last episode. Buddy stars were...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    Nice to see Gumball's awkwardness war with Hot Dog Guy escalate to the regular level of chaos expected in a Gumball episode. Especially when everything starts to look like him, like the Papa Smurf looking guy with the incredibly long forehead. I managed to see a leaked episode that I guess...

    R.I.P. Alan Young

    As you can guess, that's what I'm here for. Scrooge McDuck has been an integral part of my growing up with both Ducktales and Mickey's Christmas Carol, where he first performed the character. And the very fact that he was able to reprise the role recently kinda made this a little more...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    That's live action. But I do remember the biggest complaint about Sinbad was that they could have cast anyone and it would have been the same. I think Dreamworks started to hit that big name voice cast stride when they finally got around to the Shrek films. Antz was fifty fifty, and at least...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    While I don't know if I'm going to bother with it or not yet, I really hungered for some 1970's style R rated animated comedy films. Seems that was a completely untapped market. I wouldn't doubt that most of the cast is from SNL since most animated films seem to feature a lot of them now. But...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I still love that the network pretty much advertised the "reboot" to all the news outlets. Maybe if they didn't telegraph that they changed like one or two things that were naturally changing with the show progressing. I was right about that. It made the show sound more desperate and...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    Certainly more than makes up for the last episode. Seems this one was much more self deprecating than a huge middle finger. I especially like how Robin felt a little hurt that even their one fan liked the original Teen Titans series over this one. Wonder if Wally T was some contest winner or...
