    The Funny Videoe Thread

    One of those things that's probably not funny to anyone else but me, but... "He's going to ride his Ice Cream Truck" killed me. If that's not random, I don't know what is. Oh... and French TV parody of Japanese sentai shows called Leguman (obviously a gag on Bioman which they got...

    TV shows and movies turned into comic books

    To no surprise as the comic has much more freedom than the TV series does. Especially since the comic is clearly directed to Bronies but still sold as a "kid's comic." Yo Gabba Gabba was a show meant for kids of hipster parents. I was never surprised by a comic book version. The comic that...

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    Indeed. They could just as easily decide "NAAAAAHHH!!!" and pull the plug ASAP. I'd say ratings wise it should get a second season, even if it's a pity renewal. It's not ABC's fault that the midseason break screwed the entire night royally (other than movie Muppets to a later slot)...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    They're reading far too much into it. I severely doubt the writers of the show meant anything even mildly hinting at something like that. I remember those kinds of responses when Daffy had those...odd gender identity issues in The Looney Tunes Show. Then again, I can kinda see why they were...

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    This looks like it's mainly speculatory, and nothing close to official. I'd rather wait until we get official word on if we're getting a second season or not and not a "maybe sort of probably" from a third party source. If this is an indication that things might look good, I'm all for it. I'm...

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

    I feel it was much more clever than the Pyramid Scheme episode where they were playing an adult concern straight. Well... straight enough that it wasn't a meta joke, but straight none the less. The more I think about it, the more I think this show would have worked better on adult swim, where...

    The Loud House Thread

    I'm going to wait till it premieres proper because that's what I'm paying Verizon for. When I have to dump cable, I'm going back to just internet viewing. But so far, and what I'm going to say is obvious, they managed to make a cartoon about a raucous family that looks far superior to their...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Oh but NO McDonalds! NEVER McDonalds! That's the one specific junk food that's specifically making kids fat. Well not my kids, because as an upper middle class mother in a good neighborhood that's pretty much removed from the economic and social reality of others, I simply must impose on them...

    Owners of NBC Buy Dreamworks Animation for $3.55 billion

    While Pixar has creative control over their and Disney's original animated output, Pixar and Disney Animation movies are considered different entities. Anything otherwise would be like saying the live action Jungle Book remake is a Marvel film considering Marvel published a Jungle Book comic...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    While I seriously think the hate this show is getting is hyperbolic and extremely over reactionary, I'll admit the show has a ways to go before it really pops. And you can see hints of that in more recent episodes (even though they're incredibly out of order). The only episodes that fell...

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

    I stand by that the worst episode is "I'm the Sauce." This one actually had me laughing because of how completely adult the subject matter was. Sure, it's one thing that they managed to sneak in Beast Boy beckoning Raven over for something incredibly obvious. But to do an episode about real...

    Owners of NBC Buy Dreamworks Animation for $3.55 billion

    Animated sitcoms were always a pretty big risk, few of which paid off. Especially if you weren't on Fox. Everyone wanted that sweet, sweet Simpsons (or Family Guy as the case may be) money, but those sorts of shows never fit on the network. That said, it was the only adult cartoon Dreamworks...

    Owners of NBC Buy Dreamworks Animation for $3.55 billion

    Dreamworks was never its own company. They always had to have some sort of distribution deal, even when their movies were making hand over fist. They had some sort of silent partnership with Universal back in the late 90's when they were first a thing. Their Toonsylvania VHS had a lot of...

    TV shows and movies turned into comic books

    I'm glad there's an ongoing Rick and Morty series. Really helps the agonizing wait until the next season to find out Rick's fate. There's going to be a Mr. Poopybutthole spinoff. I may get that one if money frees up.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    They've always had that issue and it bitten them in the butt really hard back in the day when the first Mortal Kombat came out. I understand the level of contractual purity they place on themselves, but outright refusing some content has firmly established them as the kid's video game company...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    Once again with a Henson film, we get a quiet sort of update every year before it doesn't happen. The latest...Jamie Foxx is considering taking a role in this. I really want this to happen because I like Jamie, especially since he was very good in his Sesame Street appearance. And while I...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Correction. They've done crossover comics. I think I brought them up here when they were first announced a couple years back. Then there was a second series (which was better) that lasted a shorter run with no side one shot issues. I thought IDW's license for CN expired and they just...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    Personally, I just wish I had prior warning about it. Someone told me "I saw that there's going to be new Darkwing Duck comics from Facebook" and I'm like, yeah...sure. They announced that would happen over a year ago and nothing happened. I hadn't heard anything about it on comic news sites...

    TV shows and movies turned into comic books

    It's essentially the only kind of comic I collect. If I had more money I'd probably get Deadpool too, I guess. Most of them are quite good and well done. I'm so glad that licensed comics stopped being cheapo side merchandising. But I have to say, we are living in blessed times to see both...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    I suggest you skip that one and go to the second big crossover series (Super Smash Up or something like that) where they actually write to the character. I really don't want to be the "this was a disappointment" guy since I'd usually call the "this was a huge disappointment" guy an ungreatful...
