    Commercial rant time...

    Hmmm... you're right. The commercial all the sudden started back up again. Glad to see that Campbells didn't cower to the whines of the few. Anyway, I have a small side rant. I'm really sick of seeing the son of Mr. Italy tours commercial. It's not by any means a bad or unprofessional ad...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Both of those cases were special, I feel. They managed to make the jump from original medium (book and play) to movie to television quite well without exhausting the concept early on. BFGW was not one of those things that made the jump. It went from loving ethnic romantic comedy to wacky...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Nah, it was some fat doofus that looks like Paul Blart Mall Cop trying to make something out of nothing for 15 minutes of fame. That said... I hate coffee. It tastes like burnt. It's liquid burnt and the fact everyone obsesses over it is why we have all these dumb coffee places. At least...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    If you watch current episodes, well... there's not much they need to cut. AFFS takes up a good 10 minutes of the show, ETM takes another 10... add in a couple other inserts, the show's clearly padded with reused footage that cost them a fortune to produce, and that they want to squeeze every...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    The fewer characters was something we've already known about. There was always some level of market research for the show to an extent (show wouldn't have had Elmo be a huge influence if that wasn't the case). Something tells me whatever's going to be wrong and the reason why Joey left will be...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    As I said, that's because the family is extremely protective of their father's property, and Snoopy is a big enough worldwide beloved character that they have enough pull to fight the film distributors and come out with a win. The sons of Charles wrote the film for the most part. Not only did...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Big Fat Greek Wedding had a very unpopular TV show that they thought would be an easy win. It wasn't good. Even Andrea Martin couldn't save it. I'm just puzzled as to why it needs a sequel. Comedy sequels are very much hit or miss, and often in the miss category. Especially if it's one of...

    Finding Dory coming to theaters Summer 2016

    Maybe, like most trailers, the CGI isn't exactly completed, but they wanted to get something out there. I didn't see a real difference though.

    Harvey Beaks: New Nick series

    The "It's time to Slam and welcome to the Yam" line floored me. Anyone else feel this episode was channeling Chowder with Harvey in the Mung Daahl role and his father as an assistant? Even the yam with the face on it seemed very Chowderish. I could totally see the "Wake Me Up Before you...

    The Chipmunks

    The new series already has a soundtrack. Found a copy yesterday, and it's 13 of the original songs from the show. Not that I wouldn't expect a soundtrack eventually, but I was surprised at how timely this release was. I'd almost expect a second volume by the time the rest of the episodes air.

    Worst/creepiest puppets/puppeteer work

    I'm very programmed. I can't even read the words "Good News" without hearing Prof. Farnsworth in my head. Anyway, yeah. This is one of those rare cases where they actually have a good puppet, but everything else is wrong. I really rather like the lion here in design terms. Sure, he's no...

    We Bare Bears

    Ice Bear was hilarious in this one. I had a feeling that the context would be that his boss would have him have to smile. The part where he got caught in the fountain was priceless. I especially like how Panda's portion of the job got out of hand, but they didn't resort to obvious I Love Lucy...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Yes. People who are genuinely awful and the furthest thing from Christian railing on it is about as surprising as it sounds. The comedy news shows got it right. This Nontroversy is the ramblings of a complete d-bag (he looks like one, he has the d-beard and everything and looks like...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Ugh. Late fall turns into mid-Winter, just as I figured it would. Like I've said a hundred times already, they should have started with season 47, which would have been fully financed and produced by HBO. Does the 9 months include January? Either way, it's going to be almost a year before...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Not even Thanksgiving and there's already an old people on Facebook Click-bait Nontroversy about how some company selling Christmas themed crap isn't Christmasy enough. Yeah. I'm talking about those Starbucks cups that clearly they didn't want to pay some Illustrator to design. Some (to quote...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Nah. Kung Fu Panda had 2 movies and a Nickelodeon series that ran for three seasons before they dumped it. I'm really looking forward to this one, especially since the second film couldn't have been a bigger sequel hook at the end. I just have to say... January?!?! Really!?! Sure, they...

    We Bare Bears

    I finally got a chance to see that episode, as I missed it and didn't get a chance to catch it until yesterday. This show is just adorable, and I really love the expansion of friends and characters in the Bears' world. I really like how this was a day in the limelight for Ice Bear, a character...

    Worst/creepiest puppets/puppeteer work

    Well, he's more dinosaur like, I'll give him that. Guess that's what happens when you have little to no budget. And ugh..the colors are puke purple and a nauseating green (that's at least nauseating in contrast to the purple). Not the more TV friendly pinkish magenta and complimentary green...

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

    It's a mixture of that and those who run blogs...well... they tend to just wind up leaving and moving on to other things. Plus, there's tumblr, so...yeah. While I'm not a huge game reviewer watching guy on Youtube, the one straightforwardish review show I like watching is not so much coming to...

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    Absolutely. There's something about when things keep going advance, it takes away the imperfections that give something a little personality. It's no one's fault, it's just something that progresses naturally. For the longest time I had some trouble with digital animation. Not Flash or Toon...
