    Sesame Street Introduces New Autistic Muppet, Julia

    Something tells me that wasn't the reason he left, but it seems like trying to pull Murray back a bit might have been a straw among the pile on the camel's back, and we don't really know what the last one was. The "heart and soul" thing seems pretty sinister sounding, though. Maybe the HBO...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    Hints were dropped with the subtly of dropping a piano down a flight of stairs. Rewatch the "Flowers on the Wall" video, the Star Trek cruise episode of Muppets Tonight, and the end of LTS where Bunsen eagerly asks if he may cut in (with a dance with a hot female model), and Beaker is all to...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The more I think about it, the more it's obvious that Hasbro and Universal (or whatever studio put it out) knew this movie wouldn't do well (though I can't imagine that poorly). The most glaringly obvious thing about this film's predetermined failure is there were no Jem toys or Jem based...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Wouldn't you know? The day this episode airs, TMNT in Space Suit action figures started popping up. There's even a box set of all 4 Turtles and Fugitoid. While I do think the time travel reset thing was a might cheap, I had a feeling they were going to pull that one all along. Plus the rest...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Never was a fan of bouncing premiere dates no matter what the show. I get that they want to have anniversaries and stuff like that, but a little more consistency in their air dates wouldn't have hurt. Something tells me it's more on PBS's end than SW's, and I'm sure the all the sudden deal...

    Sesame Street Introduces New Autistic Muppet, Julia

    I have a sneaking suspicion that part of the reason that he left was that they were planning to do away with the block hosting bit all together. If it's still part of the up and coming season remains to be seen... especially since it doesn't even have a broadcast date yet. Eh, to be brutally...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    If there's one thing I really liked about Gadget and the Gadetinis it was that. Dr. Claw wasn't in every episode and he got to fight other villains. I'm sure Danger Mouse originally had episodes with other villains as well, so they're carrying that on.

    Among other things Mona Lisa is confirmed.

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Zombies as an an ironic meme are over, that is. Walking Dead is far from ironic, and still manages to draw in huge audiences. iZombie, unless I'm mistaken, was a comic book, possibly written before the cutoff and just greenlit. But whatever you can say about zombies being popular, there's one...

    Sesame Street Introduces New Autistic Muppet, Julia

    Everything is pure speculation, and while I usually don't get on the other side of the recast issue, I just don't see anyone else taking up Murray and giving the same effect Joey had. Then again, at a shorter half hour (and the fact they were phasing out his letter and number intros) probably...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    So they're going to have an ad free subscription service because of course they are.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Dexter could have benefited from what they did with PPG. Just release all of it at once and throw as much old CN bumpers as possible in there. Other than the fact they're on double sided disks (read Ultra easy to scratch and lose an entire side), I was very happy with that release. Dexter was...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Seems the only current shows getting DVD's are usually just getting single disks, and that seems to all but have stopped. I'm sure Regular Show, Adventure Time and TTG are still getting season sets, but Clarence, Steven Universe, and Uncle Grandpa only have like one or two single disks each...

    Pairings You Hate

    Well aware of that. But the movies and TV shows (and Netflix series by extension) are some confused distance from each other. All Hail King Julien could be seen as connected to the movies where as Penguins of Madagascar the series is said to be an alternate universe.

    Happy That Day from Back to the Future II!

    Indeed Doc was trying to keep the machine clandestine, for the obvious reasons of what happened in BTTF II. If anyone else got their hands on that technology, they could do some serious damage. I would tend to agree that he wanted to build it for the sake of building it, but would then realize...

    Sesame Street Introduces New Autistic Muppet, Julia

    I have very complicated thoughts about how diversity plays out in kid's programming. There are those who really want to add diverse characters naturally, and those often result in some well written characters that have depth. I mean, look how diverse Hey Arnold is. Every character is genuine...

    Harvey Beaks: New Nick series

    I'm actually excited for Tomorrow night. They're going to show a whole episode of Harvey for a change. :rolleyes: Anyway, loved the last episode and how it built depth for a secondary/tertiary character. And the big build up that leads to the fact that Foo just doesn't get what that kind of...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    The Seth MacFarlane bit on the DVD was only a demo track for the Schoolhouse Rock parody episode, and strangely for someone with that singing voice, he just mumbled his way through them. That said, I'd also add that it could also have been because of Butch Hartman who they actually got to do...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    I'll agree that there needs to be a better balance, but it's just that "unironic sweetness" can turn into unadulterated syrupy saccharine if they're not too careful. Like I said before, LTS was just... diabetic. Especially Uma "kills people in Tarantino films" Thurman as that sugar coated...
