    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4603 - Grover's Street Safari

    What makes it baffling is that Elmo and Grover are 2 of the most popular characters on the show, but they don't have as much screentime together as you'd think. I really loved that bit they showed from a season or so ago in the last episode where they're explorers and Elmo was kinda getting...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Actually, I just found one of the pilots to Angry Beavers and it illustrates my point about how important the eeeemprovah-ZAAAAY-SHEEawnn (as Norbert would say) between Richard and Nick was in the series. Here, Mitchell Whitfield was the original performer of Norb, and the lack of the...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    To be fair, Galavant is essentially the sacrificial lamb so Once Upon a Time doesn't have to compete with all the shows they sang about in the first episode (and compete with those shows they did). If Disney synergy gets the Muppets renewed, I'll be happy even though it's cold comfort...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4603 - Grover's Street Safari

    To be fair, it was the first time Matt performed the character, and hopefully not the last. While I personally think he lacks the voice quality of Jerry, his performance more than makes up for it. Mr. Johnson feels a tiny bit restrained here, but I'd count that more as writing than anything on...

    New Labyrinth film in development with Guardians of the Galaxy co-writer

    I've been saying that for years. Problem is, there's not really any takers. One partner only liked them for cheap CGI movies, another just for home video releases. Just all around no one was going to give them the time of day. I'm happy as heck they got a new series coming up on PBS, but at...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Considering they were caught numerous times when they did, I'd imagine they'd have Nick go over the show with a fine tooth comb. I mean, sex hotlines jokes, sex hotel references, the whole "berry" picking scene? I'm surprised they didn't catch that before the episodes went out. My problem...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. The older I get the more I feel Rocko was a better show overall than Ren and Stimpy. And yeah, to be fair, that's because of the ever weakening quality of the Games Animation episodes. If it were purely the original season 1 and 2 John K Spumco...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Another thing I love about Beavers is the show's music. Someone who worked on the show must've loved Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. I also love how certain episodes had well done sound-a-likes underscored. I remember an episode having a Jimmy Hart version of "Meglio Stasera" (the song...

    We Bare Bears

    Here's something I didn't find out until Cartoon Hangover posted a 107 Facts. To answer D*Snowth's question a while back, Daniel Chong isn't exactly a guy who does a webcomic that came out of nowhere. Apparently, Daniel is a classically trained animator who worked with some of the biggest...

    Golden Globes - What's the Point?

    Still think the Oscars deserves its own thread and all, but I feel I need to weigh in on this. The whole controversy about there not being any Black actors or writers or directors or anything getting Oscar noms. I mean, how come they're complaining about the Oscar academy being a bunch of old...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    A day late, but Comic Book Resources gives a nice essay on why Deadpool is an R rated character It's a mix of cussing and violence. PG-13 films are not the hard R that parental groups say they are. The Wolverine (the relatively good one that didn't feature Deadpool) had so many gore...

    New Labyrinth film in development with Guardians of the Galaxy co-writer

    Even if it was a reboot, I wouldn't be too worried. It took them over 10 years for the Dark Crystal sequel to go absolutely nowhere before they just said "screw it" and forgot all about it. When Robot Chicken hands your butts to you over the debacle, you know it's a laughing stock. I'd expect...

    Comic strips you'd love to see as animated series

    Nintendo has its head up its butt about the whole thing. I'm annoyed that they didn't even bother to translate the Mario-kun manga for the US market. I've seen worse cases of incredibly Japanese gag manga being translated awkwardly into English, so there's no excuse there.

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

    Not so much because it was cold, but for a couple feet of snow and driving in blizzard conditions. That stuff is deadly, and the storm has caused massive accidents. North Eastern states don't shut down for anything less than a foot (unless it comes down really fast and really bad), so that's...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    They picked shows that could fit into the TV/EI rating system, and they basically just threw the slice of life/moral quandaries type shows in there (and thank Glob it included Arnold). I remember specifically because I was really hoping they'd put Spongebob on there, since this was at the rise...

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    I have to admit, when it came to that, at least McDonalds owned up to blatantly plagiarizing those kinds of characters having them interact with each other. I was hoping there would be a McDoanlds Minions tie in just because of that. Rabbids was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, I only got...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Took me years to finally see that one, and it was the only Nicktoon I've never seen up until that point. They aired some of them weekends before Christmas, and I have to say, it's not the greatest cartoon Nick ever did, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. It's a lot more Ren and Stimpy...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Figured that we have separate threads for some of their current shows and one for Old Nickelodeon, some of the more modern but not necessarily current cartoons (and a few old ones as well) are left out. So here's a nice little place to converse about those cartoons that don't fit the mold of...

    The Clarence thread

    Clarence says he's going to his grandmother's funeral. Hmmmmm.... does that mean Phylis died? And in the next episode, Clarence goes back to the original concept of the series and makes a live video game to cheer up Jeff. Loved hearing Mega Man sound effects pop up. And nice little gag...

    Comic strips you'd love to see as animated series

    Even though he's one of the least relevant comic strips in the modern world, it's sad that Dick Tracy got screwed when it came to animation. All there is is an obscure as heck Filmation cartoon (with the Archie characters doing the voice work...no kidding) and that awful 1960's cartoon with the...
