    The Oh-So-Permanent Thanksgiving Thread

    Charlie Brown Thanksgiving never gets the respect it deserves. The Christmas and Halloween ones are beloved classics everyone can quote like Monty Python, and every Halloween and Christmas episode of something mentions gags from either two. Dinky trees and getting rocks for Halloween are a...

    Pairings You Hate

    Besides. Skipper doesn't even know how to play Spanish Guitar. Seriously. Skipper X Hans the Puffin stuff is excessive. I get the whole "they hate each other so much that they must love each other" bit, but... there's dA pieces where they have a family and everything. Really.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Actually, little kids are prone to want more idiotic, infantile humor because they're little kids. That's why they kept making the same movies over and over. The only thing that comes close to a live action talking animals movie I liked was George of the Jungle. It had some puerile stuff in...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    And he was just promoted to bike shop owner too. I really really hope this isn't a negative sign here. Even if they're being phased put of the show proper, the least they could do was let them on the float one last time.

    Joey Mazzarino leaving Sesame Street

    I'm more worried about season 47 than 46. I'm sure there was some internal fighting during the production of season 46, though.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Seems she's taking on more female character roles since Fran's retirement. Nice to see she has more than a couple characters and the occasional incidental. This one has a lot more potential than Crumby Pictures has. While I was initially a bit disappointed to hear that segment was...

    The Oh-So-Permanent Thanksgiving Thread

    So, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is on tonight. So isn't that hideously dull "This is America, Charlie Brown" pilgrim episode. I never really liked that miniseries, since it wasn't what Peanuts was all about, and it shows. I had a lot of faith that the new movie would be a love letter to...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    This one? There's a whole bunch of preview videos, actually. Somehow that feels like an ETM segment... And most importantly, here's a full episode of "Smart Cookies." So far, I'm actually liking this better than Crumby Pictures. I really like the cookie designs here. A Fig Newton...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I honestly don't think any Nick show should be revived. At least, any of the older ones. It would have been cool to see more El Tigres, and I really think TUFF Puppy deserves a second chance, but this time with an actual treat of a villain instead of various mental defectives. And a little...

    Old Nickelodeon

    Agreed. HA was a great show, and I don't think adding extra episodes is going to be a good fit. I just want to see the Jungle Movie made at some point. It's completely disheartening that one of the reasons it was never made was Craig Bartlett doing a pilot for CN that didn't even get picked...

    Cartoon Network loses its 8pm hour, with more Adult Swim

    I really didn't like the 8 and 8:30 slots going to Adventure Time and Regular Show like that anyway. I really dislike how the nighttime line up was so Teen Titans Go! heavy, especially when they could have easily fit a nice rotation of the shows in the 5-8 PM slots as they have been doing...

    Cartoon Network loses its 8pm hour, with more Adult Swim

    Okay. It appears this was just temporary for about a month. [as] will continue to start at 8 next week.

    I try hard not to double post on the same day, but this news just popped up Hey Arnold is getting a TV movie The description says "it picks up where the TV show left off" and not any details further. It would be great if that mean a TV version of the Jungle Movie, but there's no clue that it...

    The Lion Guard

    This special was pretty good, and I'm looking forward to the TV show it's spinning off to. As far as continuity and Disney movies vs TV shows, I wouldn't think too much into it. These things rarely connect, and it's one of those movie is canon to the TV show, TV show is not canon to the movie...

    Joey Mazzarino leaving Sesame Street

    I don't think that's really the case. Sesame Street is more famous for the Muppet characters than anything else. We didn't see Christmas shopping rocked by "Tickle Me 40 Dots" or "Sing and Snore film about picking Peas." "Scaling back" doesn't mean "doing away with." Just more of a focus on...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Actually, it's to make room for more commercials if anything. It's a choice between a long theme song or decent enough show runtime. I'm mixed about TV theme songs. I like them, but if it comes down to more show, I feel that a fleshed out runtime is more important. But if the theme song is...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    The only trailer I really saw was the new Christmas one, and I'm not impressed. The plot actually sounds decent, and there's a talented cast behind it. Hopefully it'll look better in film form and hey...at least this isn't an Air Buddies deal where they're live action dogs and cats with mouths...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Even in good movies I'm sick as a dog of that trope. It's been way too overused and they really need to retire that gimmick. It's a poor fit for a ukulooloo accompanied theme anyway. That's the only real sore point here for me.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Here's what was revealed. It totally could have worked as a big budget version of the original series, but none of the studios would touch it. My theory was that the film was picked up as a contractual obligation, given a paper thin budget, and no time to punch up the script to make the most...

    Old Nickelodeon

    Last Week's "The Splat" theme was Ren and Stimpy. Last night they managed to air two of my least favorite episodes, Aloha Ren and... the worst Ren and Stimpy cartoon of the original series's run. Heck, I'd say probably worst than the adult ones, maybe? "It's a Dog's Life." Now, I have to...
