I just had a worrisome realization. Not so much about the ratings, but considering next Tuesday is Super Tuesday, I'm confident that most of the affiliates will pre-empt the night for election coverage. I really wish they'd move this up a week, as well as the finale of Agent Carter.

Besides. Why should we care if we get Rowlf in the show? And singing to boot!

It had an 18 million budget (even though it looks like it should have the budget of a single episode of a CGI cartoon series), and counting the overseas releases it made about 22 Mil. There was marketing, but it was all over kid's television. Maybe a couple family sitcoms. I believe I was...

Nevermind that Homer has brought all three of his kids to Moe's on several occasions. Edit: Also, duh... isn't Rowlf one of their friends anyway, and therefore wouldn't Kermit want to take him to visit an old friend?

Yeah, but then The Muppets are never going to get that "old person keeping the TV on for background noise" audience. :)

Saw another before it actually aired called "The Advice." It's more of the show's dark comedy, but not quite with a subversive message or surreal humor of most other ones. It does have the oft tread message that teachers become teachers because they want to inspire students, but eventually get...

At this point, I really hope "The Real O'Neils" flops worse. I want to give it a chance, but every extended preview just makes Boardertown look subdued and subtle by comparison. We GET it! They're hypocritical religious types. Doesn't seem like any traction there. ABC's massive mistake was...

I don't think there was ever a second appearance of TV obsessed Telly. While there certainly are hours of Sesame Street we haven't seen yet, I don't think they ever revisited that idea. I don't really buy the whole "he's a bad role model" being the reason they changed the character. There's...

I chose to pretend that didn't happen. You all know my stances on Disney's Tweencoms (though, I can't lie. If I was much younger, maybe I'd enjoy the family of spies one). I have the feeling the writers aren't taking any chances about the show getting a second season and not wanting to...

It looks far more "meh" than anything legitimately bad. I don't want to say this is a case of Finding Nemo and Shark Tale to Zootopia and this thing, but there's some intent there. The concept doesn't seem to carry a film all its own. And even then, Glee was a flash in the pan, Smash was a...

I'll admit. When I heard about the show's only guest star being a Good Morning America anchor, and only because of synergy, I was a little worried. Seeing the episode, they could have written her part as anyone, and that's the only tiny complaint I have. This episode really didn't need a...

It takes quite a bit to recast a Muppet performer. And they're not going to sound 100% the same. It's about who can get the closest approximation of personality and who's available to perform the character then it's how close they sound. No bones about it, Jerry had a distinct voice quality...

Really hope the lack of good guest stars the last couple episodes isn't a bad sign of them just plowing through the last few episodes before they contemplate some mediocre sitcom to shove in its place come September. Lack of advertising and interesting guests doesn't sound too promising. This...

I'm sure everyone regrets that movie by now. Anyway, lemme just add this. It's danged if they do, danged if they don't with that sort of thing. Tigerlily and Tonto aren't especially as progressive today as they were when they were written (and barely at that). No matter how the characters...

Not a movie but... ...yeah.

Duckula is totally deserving of a Reboot as well. As long as it keeps the weird traveling to exotic lands and getting in trouble format the original has. I actually quite like some of the changes they made to the character. Turning into a flying carrot (though, shouldn't it be a Tomato?)...

And that's why the show's going to be cancelled. They have to please idiots like this.

Besides. ABC needs all the ad revenue and time to promote their obviously going to fail "The Family." Seriously, didn't they do the whole "mysterious reasons why dead family members come backs" thing and it was somehow renewed for another season before it was cancelled? If they can give that...

Not only did they have an episode with the (obviously non-canonical) origin of Scooby Snacks, but they also grapple with the moral ambiguity of bribing Scooby and Shaggy with them. I also like how, while Daphne has become written a lot less Pinkie Pie-ish in recent episodes, they have a nice...

Orrrr...not hire her in the first place?
