    Commercial rant time...

    You know what ticked me off? There was this absolutely sweet commercial for Campbell's Star Wars soups with a baby and his gay fathers. The whole joke ran on the lame father type humor of bad Darth Vader impersonations of "I am your father." "NO! I am your father!" The kind of unfunny but...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I see this a lot. Roger Ramjet is not related to Bullwinkle at all. However, it's been said that Bullwinkle's Bill Scott was a fan of this series. But hold on to your hat. This show may not have any Bullwinkle connections, but it does have some concerning something we all should know...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    I think that's one of the smaller things they need with the show. I did like in the new movies how they constantly referenced other projects, and I really think this series could use jut a smidge of that. Even the new Peanuts movie they managed to Easter egg and reference things, like the...

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

    To be perfectly honest, I think there have been writing problems with Fozzie since MTI. They got him sort of right in VMX and TM as far as character goes. I disagree with your feelings about his portray in the new show as far as Bear Write and the thing with Statler is concerned (the latter...

    Commercial rant time...

    Actually, it sounds more like the host of Popeye and Friends... a terrible local TV show I've mentioned in this thread. As in, completely uninterested in her work, if you don't want to follow that link and watch the clip. Dear GLOB! Okay... Rabbit hole time. I was going to make an addition...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I have to admit, I'm disappointed that Peanuts didn't get a 50 Mil-60 Mil open, but they're calling it a win and it performed slightly higher than expectations. I guess some were skeptical that this was the non-edgy, classic versions of the characters in a film that isn't as schizophrenic as...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Funny not really related story. I kept passing by this new condo development that has a hard "fall 2015" projection date. It's Fall 2015, and the thing is still a skeletal metal nothing. Unless they have plans to finish it up by December 21, giving themselves a projection date (and provided...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    I would tend to worry if they threw the show's main plotline of Piggy and Kermit struggling with having to work with each other and realizing their break up wasn't a great idea and is tearing them apart. That's as far as the concern for the in show writing. Changes do need to be made, but...

    The Clarence thread

    Yep. he's a spoiled little brat who sometimes sneaks off to an abandoned house so he doesn't have to answer for his mother who doesn't do much to discipline him anyway. That said, that takes away my theory he was crashing at that house after the events of Dust Buddies.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I was going to say I wish they had some of the Bullwinkle episodes on Netflix, but they're also on hulu for free, so... I do like the new Peabody and Sherman series, though I have to admit, the Amadeus episode was disappointing. I'm getting to like the talk show elements a bit more, but wish...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    The only real modern music in the film itself was that Megan Trainor song written expressly for the movie and the other thing that you see in the trailers, but in context it's not that bad (there's a school dance sequence, so one of the songs is used there). Seems that it was the one thing the...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Hopefully. With all the hype of this thing turning into a half hour and being an HBO first run series, you'd think that we'd get some info at least on when the episodes start airing. Late fall is turning into Early winter.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    So now they've revealed the latest of this series's best running gags, a new Show within a show. Capitalizing off the fact one of their characters was a parody of him, they made a delightfully biting parody of Chuck Norris Karate Commandos, only using Chris Bradford.

    TV Tropes

    So a week ago, I looked at the TVTropes YMMV page on Teen Titans Go, and under Fan Nickname they had an interesting entry that said that the show is referred to as "It's Always Sunny in Jump City." Why this is remarkable is because I was referring to the show personally as something similar...

    Commercial rant time...

    Kid looks kinda dorky. I still question absolutely everything about that commercial. I have a theory they wanted something more horror movie looking, but they figured something like that would never get past network censors, so they went with something that theoretically should have been less...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Holy crap, yes. Remember, I'm from New England. We have violent shifts in temperature around here. You'd personally be ticked that the past week was above normal in our region (tied a couple records, too) only to "cool down" to the 50's, where we should be (not that I'm complaining about the...

    Commercial rant time...

    I'd say Clutch Cargo at least had effort. I can't even say this commercial is a trainwreck because even trainwrecks are mildly interesting. I especially love how the grandma at the beginning doesn't even match the one at the end. I really don't understand the process with this one. Don't...

    The "Adventure Time" Thread

    Well... Mama Said was... ehhh... a special episode, wasn't it? Really think the best part of the episode was the giant mushroom giving out various mushroom facts in a robotic voice while it was attacking Finn and Jake. Surprised the bit about Kombutcha managed to sneak in. That's alcoholic...

    Pig Goat Banana Cricket

    I liked the episode a lot, but I'd be at a loss if I didn't say that Quanderious Gooch was the best part. Sure, I love how they brought back Armpit Willie and Psychopath Giraffe in a couple episodes, but I want to see more of Gooch. Lots more. There's something Ren and Stimpy-ish about him...

    The Clarence thread

    Okay, I'm rewatching "Chalmers Santiago" and I just got something. Remember how in the Pilot Belson lived in the house across from Clarence? Seems he's been squatting in that house all along.
