    Free HBO Preview: Friday February 19-Monday February 22

    I honestly don't know if I have this if I will bother. I'm pretty committed to CN running new episodes of The Tom and Jerry Show and frankly, this season of SS hasn't really wowed me. I'm not going to say it's the worst season yet, but it's definitely the season that's on my Murtaugh list. As...

    Sesame Street YouTube Channel uploading less content after HBO debut

    On the plus side, they are continuing to post things, albeit a slower capacity. They posted about 4 or 5 videos in a week and a half period, 2 (or 3) of them old school. I'm just disappointed they aren't posting smaller clips from current HBO episodes. At the very least Smart Cookies and that...

    Commercial rant time...

    I'd say "I had a Willem Defoe under my bed," but you don't watch or like Family Guy, so you wouldn't get the quote anyway. Probably wouldn't get the How I Met Your Mother joke about his name sounding like a frog and parrot talking to each other, either. Agreed 100%, the Brady Bunch one was...

    When you need to rant...

    It's obvious by now, heck, by halfway through his first term the GOP was trying to sabotage him at every turn. They're the party that wanted to get rid of the Filibuster rule when they were the majority party under Bush, only to use the heck out of it under O-man. Kinda wish the left let them...

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

    I'd personally hate to see the show on Disney XD (or as I like to call it the GOOD Disney channel no one gets) or Disney. If the show is to find another venue, it must be online. Hulu, Netflix, even Amazon or Yahoo. If the show can't continue on television, at least try it online before the...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    I'd be a lot less worried if this were a Looney Tunes Show/Wabbit situation and ending the show would lead to another in a couple years. That's probably not the case. But frankly, I shouldn't be this burned up about the show being all but cancelled, but I am. It's not the fault of ABC or...

    Commercial rant time...

    The Burger King was intentionally creepy because...well... somehow creepy and offputting ads (Puppy Monkey Baby for one) are somehow more buzzworthy than a well done ad. Aren't half the "jokes" in those commercials that he's a creeper, anyway? Tony the Tiger, however? There's just something...

    "Up Late with Miss Piggy" Mug

    Here's some pics of other various Muppet themed drinkware to be released by Diamond unveiled at Toy Fare... So also expect some nice pint glasses with famous Muppet themed logos on them.

    The Muppets Episode 13 - Got Silk?

    If that head isn't generous to The Muppets, I'm hoping he's not generous to that GAWD-awful Last Man Standing show either. How the heck does that keep getting renewed? Even the cast of TTG isn't that unlikable. It seems like a refugee from the terrible 2001 ABC line up.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Pelswick was one of the few, if any, shows where that kid was the star. He wasn't the background character or the unbelievable friend of the main cast. That show is highly underrated and under-appreciated. That said, I haven't seen one in years, but I remember enjoying it.

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Holy Cow. Apparently Cookie Crook somehow was created when Cookie Jarvis the Wizard was still around. Here's a commercial with them co-existing.

    Commercial rant time...

    I find it funny looking at adult cereal commercials for kid's cereals. I'm casting aside the "look at how healthy we are" ads, because those are tricky (Bran flakes have the same amount of sugar kid's good tasting cereals have, BTW). Kid's cereals tend to skew towards the "magical lands where...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I haven't seen the yet to be aired "Carl's Concerto" episode, so I don't know what the deal with that one is. But yeah, writing for anything that isn't an able bodied white, straight male basically is catch 22. Any character depth and flaws will be seen by someone as negative, and if the...

    The Muppets Episode 13 - Got Silk?

    I really like the idea of Pizza going behind Kermit's back, but it really felt like there was so much more they could do with it, and it really should have had more energy. Seems to me like whatever traction the story could have was cut for time to fit things in. I do like the new skit and...

    Rovio Is Teaming Up With Marvel To Create Angry Birds Movie

    There's a new TV spot for this film, and it actually involves sequences of birds launching themselves at pigs through giant slingshots. Cool. They got the thin as it is already premise of the game in the film. All the speculation that the movie will be a prequel story, where the birds learn...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    The string of made for TV movies happened under Henson because they were unable to get any bigger projects out there. I think we're all aware of how everything they've been trying the past few years were a hard sell. MWOO, for whatever I can say about it is exactly the path Henson would have...

    Commercial rant time...

    You know, after watching the commercials for Halos, I can't help but think there's a level of hypocrisy somewhere. The whole "give your kids something or they'll act like dinks" thing just feels off. I know they're done with a level of irony and all, but somehow it seem like if this product...

    The Muppets Episode 13 - Got Silk?

    There's potential, and I liked the first episode of the reboot (still didn't see the second, should be available today). I like the idea of the brand manager trying to have the show fail, and I like that they addressed the problems with the show head on. The Piggy storyline seems like...
