    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    Nah, it will probably have it's timeslot changed. Probably to one of the other 10 a day. You don't put a show on that many times a day if the ratings suck. Then again, if it's on that many times a day, it's impossible for the ratings to suck. So they'll probably just crap out a couple...

    Commercial rant time...

    Terrible, but still not as bad as the "free virus software" ads that automatically and immediately take you to the virus infection site without your permission. Anyway, at the risk of pawning this off on Cracked, this article mentions a bunch of my personal pet peeves as far as advertising...

    20 Years Since MT

    The thing that made the Howard Tubman skits work was that it could have just been "fat guy like food," but they took that to the level of mocking British period piece/costume dramas and gave the dialogue a certain flair. The food he loved so much was lyrically written as very sophisticated...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    The PPG premiere date has been set at Monday April 4th before going to its usual Thursday Slot (HEY! It's TTG's slot...hmmm). The previews are confirming my suspicions that this isn't a "reboot" so much a stealth continuation. The girls are clearly older and time seems to have passed, and I...

    20 Years Since MT

    I think the problem was that they were trying to find a blend between old and new, just they didn't know how to blend them and what should have been blended. Tales from the Vet (one of the better segments) seemed to want to be Muppet Labs with a horror angle, but Bunsen and Beaker were still...

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

    It's depressing that SHIELD can't get that audience it should have. It's nice that the show finally distanced itself enough from the Marvel movies to actually find a voice for itself. Anyway, ...really!?! The Family is tanking?!?! HA! Just...just...HA! You know something is wrong when even...

    The Discontinued Snack Foods thread

    Rice is a cheap enough filler, plus it is an ingredient in more authentic dishes. And maybe it'll add some nice fiber or whatever to their menu so more patrons won't have...unpleasant side effects.

    20 Years Since MT

    Everything I said about what made The Muppets work, even though some feel otherwise (painfully otherwise) is what made MT not work. Know how I always said how we really shouldn't have a Muppet program that tried too hard to be TMS? That's what I feel was the main problem with MT. It had to...

    Scathing Elmo Article

    You saw last Sunday's Family Guy, too? Sesame Street characters, heck Muppets in general, have a history of Monster Speak. Elmo's third person speech impediment was actually more prevalent when the character was given to Kevin. He talked more like what a 3 year old monster would talk like...

    The Discontinued Snack Foods thread

    I think the fried pies thing was discontinued due to pseudo-healthy reasons that it's much less fat if it's baked. The best substitute was Taco Bell's Apple Empinadas introduced a few years back. Don't know if they're still on there. Didn't exactly have a pleasant time last time I ate at one...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    And if you're still unhappy with this film, Two more are still happening, including the animated one. I dunno about this being the first directorial job of someone who's behind app based game commercials, but everyone has to start somewhere. I still don't like how whatever reports on the...

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

    It's an episode I'm certainly mixed about. It's not a bad episode where they're doing something stupid, and it's at least a little experimental and creative. I really don't know how to feel about their original villains. Still don't see why "Puppets...WHAAAAAAAT?" didn't feature The Puppet...

    The Real O'Neals impressions

    Eh, I watched a Bob's Burgers rerun on Cartoon Network instead. I should give the show another chance, perhaps next week. If I didn't like watching FOTB so much, I'd start up with "The Flash." I'm not going to be all passive aggressive about this taking over the timeslot of a show they only...

    Big Hero Six IS going to be an Animated Series!

    For the record The Tangled animated series is still happening.

    The Discontinued Snack Foods thread

    The closest thing to White Castles we have here are the nationally released frozen burgers in half the regional supermarket chains here. Ah, yes. Only one I've ever seen of those was at this Wendy's in New Hampshire. Had the salads and tacos and stuff. We had this really large Wendy's that...

    Animated Hotties?

    I'll give you the easy answer. It's cuz Teen Titans Go is written by those who never watched the original series (though they do have that one writer from the original that actually wrote good TTG eps) or even care much about the characters' mythology. The Teen Titans in the original series...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    That's why they're professionals. I know someone has the exact details of how this sort of thing is done, but I take it they record as much as they can in a session per show. Tom's one of my favorite current voice actors (though, frankly I have a bunch of them), and the only time I really feel...

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

    Fuller House already got greenlit for a second season due to viewership, despite eviscerating reviews. All I'm sayin'.

    The Discontinued Snack Foods thread

    Funny thing is, those cookies were discontinued very recently. I mean, at the same exact time they introduced the bakery style cookies a few years ago. I got some of the last bags at my locations, they were starting to become scarce and I knew it would be the end of that. I think I got a...
