Here's another one of my combining a classic "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" episode with the original Muppet Babies; this time, the tots accompany the gang in the classic mystery "Hassle in the Castle!" I used a few bits from the "Muppet Babies" episode "Muppetland," largely due to Gonzo's spooky...

I can understand not showing actual footage from Episode 847, but the way they used that classic Mel Blanc WB/DePatie-Freleng scream for the Elmo jumpscare made me laugh when it came up! I think it's because I've heard the scream used in too many humorous moments (including in some of my own...

Yep, I too watched it as well. While the Wicked Witch does seem more comical compared to her truly frightening portrayal in the 1939 movie, I can see why this scared little kids; stuff like that would fit fine in a Sid and Marty Krofft Saturday morning TV show, but not a PBS preschool show like...

I've made two YTPs so far this year, what with my work schedule at my computer tech job, not to mention Anthro New England 2022 happening last month (and it was great to be back!) First up is one I did of "The Funky Phantom," the first Hanna-Barbera show to be largely produced by their then-new...

Well, this is too bad. Every year when I ring in the New Year after playing/singing "Auld Lang Syne," I play "Faces That I Love", which was basically Sesame Street's version of "Auld Lang Syne."

I've been thinking of and noticing how Christmas just isn't the same as it was when I was a kid. (No snow, fewer traditional decorations, a small non-traditional roast beef dinner, etc.) But at least it's not as bad as what happened in "Elmo Saves Christmas" when Elmo wished for Christmas every...

Just saw the float on NBC! Awww, that's cute how Elmo's new dog got to ride in the nest with him, in place of Abby Cadabby. Of course, I also liked seeing Julia on the float as well, in her noise-cancelling headset and her cute winter hat! And of course, Oscar refusing to sing is always a...

Nothing like kicking off Thanksgiving with me and my dad reminiscing how NBC used to actually care about the Macy's parade balloons and floats, compared to today where they virtually ignore them in favor of the Radio City Rockettes and such! You gotta tune to CBS to get decent coverage of those...

Pretty cool! I also find it neat how they had Marvin the Martian wear his green suit and gold helmet that he had in "Hare-Way to the Stars" and "Mad as a Mars Hare". His costume was probably the most on-model out of all the Looney Tunes. REPLY

Yeah, in many cases I find masks to be more effective than makeup. Though I've seen numerous Halloween safety guides for kids advise against wearing masks and recommend makeup, but in most cases they are talking about those cheap plastic face masks for children, the kind often included in those...

With Halloween coming, I thought I'd share my latest cosplay, the title character of the 1952 Merrie Melodies cartoon "The Turn-Tale Wolf!" The head is a vintage vinyl rubber "Bad Wolf" mask made by French mask company Cesar from the 80s to the 2000s. Cesar made some of the best vinyl masks in...

Heh, I like how I even heard them use the classic Castle Thunder sound effect like the original Disneyland Haunted Mansion (the Disney World Magic Kingdom version replaced it with new thunder sound effects as part of the 2007 renovation), and the same scream when in the Stretching Room! (BTW...

Though to be fair, at least Oasis Animation's work on the show is a noticeable step up over 9 Story Entertainment's animation, despite being Flash-esque. And it seemed to improve a bit more with Season 22. But even with that, why am I not surprised Glen Kennedy's Arthur storyboards look a lot...

OMG, I can't believe they've brought back Johnny Fiama and Sal Manilla! Good to see a couple more of the "Muppets Tonight"-original characters get used again besides Pepe the King Prawn, Bobo the Bear and Big Mean Carl!

Yep, I actually really enjoyed "The Last Day." I particularly liked the plot about D.W. starting kindergarten, now attending the same elementary school as Arthur! It was also nice to see Muffy help out with Emily, and Alex finally playing a more prominent role in an episode after years of being...

The trailer for "Arthur's First Day." Once again, they're going to throw continuity out the window by having Mrs. Grimslid be the gang's fourth grade teacher, the no-nonsense teacher Buster was dreading in "The Last Day" (though when she was shown as a P.E. teacher, like in "Arthur's...

That's right. I used a picture of Dr. Disguise as Richie, as I was initially only aware about that one. Richie's dog Dollar also got impersonated twice; first in the first season episode "Counterfeit Dollar," which is based off a comic book story, and again in the aforementioned "Villains...

I can understand they replaced the original 1974 "NEWS FLASH" logo with the 1986 version due to the old one being so large overscan would've badly cropped it on TV sets of the time, but it's too bad they didn't retain Jerry Nelson's unique announcer spiel ("We take you now to Kermit the Frog for...

I've noticed for a while now that it seems during the Hanna-Barbera studio's existence (1957-2001), they were fond of doing episodes where the main story, or at least some kind of plot point, involved a main character being impersonated by a villain (usually a villain-of-the-week) disguised as...

Happened a month ago, but Jeffrey lost the lawsuit... No surprise, knowing Disney.
