    The Chipmunks

    They did it because they're Nickelodeon and think their viewers actually like Ricky Dicky...that stupid thing and put it on all their channels. Plus it's a girl's show so unless it has anything to do with Ponies, it's doomed to fail. CN wriggled out of that crap when the female characters on...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4618 - A Very Cookie Mother's Day

    The only thing that really ticks me off about the lack of appearances from those two is that they made such a big deal about both of them coming on the street, only for them to be priced out of the show. I'm sure the fleeting demographic doesn't mind, and only the older kids will wonder why...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Those who refused to give the show a chance and said nothing but terrible things sank the show. While there were legitimate complaints, I can't stress enough that it was the first season of a show. First episode of a first season. I'm absolutely furious at those people because no matter how...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    To be perfectly honest, if this show were to somehow survive by streaming, I kinda want them to go another angle. Something (sigh) more familiar so that the uptight nostalgiaphiles will be on board. What I'd like to see is "Late Night with Miss Piggy" as the show. Keep the behind the scenes...

    The Chipmunks

    Okay. Anyone else see today's new episode "Wax Dave?" When I saw the title I was like, oh...they're going "The Garfield Show" route and just recycling old episodes. Something forgivable because the demographic wasn't around 20-30 years ago for the first one (though Garfield and Friends was...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Actually, I think that was taken the wrong way. I like those sassy gals too, especially Dorothy and Sophia. Everyone in my generation and the one just under it had a mother that watched it, that's why Betty White became a meme. My point is thus. Sexual situations have been the norm in most TV...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Unless the network was willing to put it on Wednesday Night in between family sitcoms (where it was a terrible fit anyway), I doubt any other nights would have been great for The Muppets. Something I've been freaking saying since everyone was all like "They totally should be back on television...

    The 7D Thread

    I'm extremely not surprised given the terrible treatment of the show. Firstly, let's all agree that Disney XD is all but a failure. They put these shows on a strange channel that you have to gert the super gold platinum premium ultra package to even see. That doomed quite a few third party...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I'm far angrier that there is an audience for NCIS than I am at ABC for canning a show running against it. But I digress. The fact of the matter is this. The show probably wouldn't have been cancelled so abruptly and callously had it not been for the fact that the television division of...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Any show about a kid (or a group of kids) either trapped or voluntarily in a magical world/alternate dimension is doomed to have the characters stuck there because no one knew of closure back in the 70's and 80's. I think it was strictly enforced to keep the show on infinite reruns without...

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    Hilariously, Ronald only exists because early McD's locations wanted to have a Bozo the Clown like character (if not outright Bozo himself) appear to get kids into these places as the Happy Meal didn't exist for quite some time after. And frankly, the old Ronald looks like they just couldn't...

    The Clarence thread

    Baker's pretty much a realistic teacher character in that way. She really wants the kids to like her, but gets flustered with Clarence being Clarence. You actually get to feel sorry for her instead of the usual teacher character who becomes the designated bad guy for being an authority figure...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    While I caught the Love online before, I was happy that the broadcast version kept the "Love breaks all the rules" segment wherea female shaped silhouette and a male shaped one run past each other into the arms of their same genders. Between Clarence's "Jeff has two mommies" and Steven...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I finally caught the new Peanuts show on Boomerang. Mainly because I just sort of forgot that it was on at a weird time every day for the past 4 days. It's good, but it really doesn't lend itself to a programming block. There is room to have the series as intended a series of shorts inbetween...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    Disney wants it but ABC doesn't. All the synergy in the world couldn't save Marvel's TV properties, a freaking franchise that has multiplied the Marvel Purchase several hundred fold if not a thousand in movies and merchandising, what makes you think they'd be able to save a show from a modestly...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    While there is one thing I can agree is totally different about the new series vs the old series, it's the humor. It's new humor, clearly. Everything is a product of the time it was created, no matter how much anyone denies it. This episode really felt like the writers were trying to blend...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    Finally caught the broadcast of The Button. Maellard is totally a D-bag with this one. Benson is becoming less of a Jerkbutt Woobie and more of the biggest Woobie in the series. They all know that Benson's life is a mess and if it wasn't for this park job he's been steadily maintaining at the...

    The Clarence thread

    Surprisingly nice call backs to aside jokes in this one. Chelsea commenting that Jeff put too much glue in his hair today. Weird that a line in the song from the Cooking Contest episode comes back as a reference like that. Mr. Reese has really become one of my favorite characters as of late...

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

    At least it was an alien conspiracy instead of journeying to the magic land of such and such. I guess that's a step up.

    Sesame Workshop Launches "Sesame Studios"

    Here's one of the first new clips. I don't think it's made for me. Clearly, this is for little kids, so I'm not going to say any further about it. Though it really looks like if it was on the show I'd also feel pretty ambivalent about it.
