    Thoughts on sponsors

    Yeah. Cute. But honestly, it's a case of Ralph Nader having his head pretty far up his butt. This season's reality is that the meager sponsors like Party City and Earth's Best weren't cutting it. Makes me wonder if McD's kept funneling money in and still did, would SW still have been so...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    Let's not forget, a lot of us fans aren't part of the Nielsen ratings and as such don't count. The movies were far more democratic, as we all had to pay to see them. We counted towards ticket sales, even if our numbers weren't spectacular. Ratings are always at the mercy of selected audiences...

    Wait a Minute... "DreamWorks' Dragons"? What?

    It's more of a Wacky Races type deal. Something that was a goodwill gesture on the part of Turbo...and frankly you'd have to see the movie to appreciate Guy's (the "villain" of the film). On the topic of Dragons and Turbo, one of Turbo's third season episodes was a weird send up called "How to...

    When you need to rant...

    I'm honestly done talking about him. He's pretty much going to be president unless the angry liberals can outnumber the angry conservatives and figure it's better to be stuck with Hillary for 4 years than Emperor Trump. Frankly, it's not the fact he's running that bothers me or the fact he's...

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    I'll say this much. DVD's made me retroactively hate VHS for 2 reasons. They get eaten up and destroy both player and tape for one thing (though DVD's ain't exactly durable either. One scratch and its history), but mostly for the fact that, overall, DVD's are cheaper for what you get. And...

    Wait a Minute... "DreamWorks' Dragons"? What?

    I have to rewatch that again, but I think it was partially a friendly race between past characters. I really kinda wish they did more with Guy Gagne (or however it's spelled). The character was pretty slimeballish in the movie Though, rightfully so if you think long and hard about the film's...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Surprisingly, they marketed the thing, so it didn't come out of nowhere. And of course, they'd market something like this to kids. I'm sure some really little ones were fooled by the advertisement. I saw the trailer first via Comic Book Resources and was like, why did they think anyone over...

    The Chipmunks

    Yeah, but it's always been like that for teenagers. The whole "let's pretend we're more grown up than we really are, and show it by being as immature as possible to others" is their right of passage. That's when the only cartoons acceptable to watch are ones made specifically for adults. I...

    Is Frank Oz still coming back?

    If it's still just barely good enough, at least Frank's coming back a second time to perform Yoda in Star Wars Rebels. So yeah. That's something.

    Super Bowl 50: The Commercials

    Hey. So, uh... was the Steven Tyler Skittles commercial one made for the Super Bowl? If so, it's the only one I've seen so far that actually made me laugh, though unintentionally. I dunno why, but the part about Steven saying the Skittle portrait was (and paraphrasing) "E to the D to the...

    Free HBO Preview: Friday February 19-Monday February 22

    HBO usually has the occasional weekend preview. Funnier still, I had this one preview last months before the cable company realized it and shut it off. Which, frankly is okay since I don't really watch much on that network when I have it. There's supposedly an unaired ETM coming up. If it...

    The Clarence thread

    Clarence wanders off from the field trip to go to the wrong school. I can really see West Aberdale becoming a recurring thing (antagonist, rival, something), especially the way Shoop and West Aberdale's principal exchanged contempt for each other. I dunno why, but the bus driver sort of...

    We Bare Bears

    An episode where Griz gets (Bland name Product) Hulk Hands with guest star Lou Ferrigno. Wonder what level of intentional that was. Ice Bear watching a pregnant woman's exercise video was the gem of the episode.

    The Chipmunks

    That's the big problem with this show. While there was no doubt it was going to air in the US at some point, the show was made for an international audience and probably made all at once for a single season like those usually are. None of the major networks wanted it because...well... big name...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    I think the problem is one of the scale of Muppet fans who actually watched everything versus casual fans that tune in for one or two projects every so often is the reason this doesn't have the audience it deserves. Face it. As fans who followed every DTV movie, every 5 minute appearance on...

    Hanna-Barbera

    You know how I mentioned Scooby-Doo meeting KISS and how it didn't happen sooner? I TOTALLY forgot the What's New Scooby-Doo Halloween special, where they were somehow the featured performers at a town's Halloween party. That said, I caught the movie on CN a few months back. It's what you'd...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    Unless the episode is just completely lost from the SW archives, the only thing keeping SW from releasing it now seems to be copyright licensing. They did manage to release some of the R2-D2 and C3-PO footage to coincide with The Force Awakens to youtube. Only way we can get the Wicked Witch...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    That's because they want to make the most out of a new program. I'm disheartened by the fact they aren't advertising the Muppets finale. Agent Carter got one at the end of Agent Carter, but only because it aired during the end credits. The time The Muppets uses for a stinger. That said, I...

    Free HBO Preview: Friday February 19-Monday February 22

    I've always said the problem isn't that Sesame Street should be an hour or a half hour. It should be 45 minutes, but even on cable that's an unwieldy size for a TV show. They have too much footage for a half hour (or rather 25 minutes) and not enough footage for a full hour. That's why Abby's...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I'll just out and say it. The internet has ruined politics. It really should have enhanced them, but it took what made the 24 hr. News cycle awful and multiplied them exponentially. Facebook went from how teenage girls bully each other to 40+ year olds swapping not fact checked "news items"...
