Ninjas were around first. Heck, there's a Garfield and Friends where Jon's trying to sell either an animated series or a comic book and the publisher/producer says "kids these days want mutants and ninjas and ninjas and mutants" (take a wild guess what 2 shows popular at the time he was talking...

Once you wrap your head around that, the core six doesn't seem like something terrible. I'm glad to hear other characters will still be around, hopefully with some level of frequency. And if it means more Big Bird and Oscar in street scenes, that's always good.

Ehhhh... no. Older franchises are still relevant today because they have larger fansbases. Seriously. Everyone outside of this board is a causal fan at best. Even then, those other franchises keep cranking out expanded universe novels and comics and stuff outside of bigger media presences...

If that's the case, then screw it. You realize this is the same general public that didn't go see MMW and barely saw TM. Doesn't matter if they try anything new or anything the same, the public likes the Muppets in tiny little viral video sized portions, buys a T-shirt or a Christmas ornament...

No matter how much you can try and talk those sorts of nostalgic fans, they'll always have one problem or another with anything that wasn't directly made by Jim himself. They want the old show, fine. I'm sure they might have some of the rest of the episodes on fading VHS. But they want it to...

I'm sorry, but the logic is still the same "WAAAH! This isn't a complete copy of a show Jim Henson himself ended after 5 seasons because it would have got stale." I'd much rather them being humanized than have them flop around going through the motions and rehashing their old jokes in a...

We're never going to solve guns. The NRA has the right wing wrapped around its finger tightly. Listen to the Republican candidates on the subject matter. They're even crazier than Trump. Ben Carson especially. He blames victims for not rushing the gunman (which someone did and got shot 7...

I really don't get the negativity behind Monsters U. Sure, the film skewed a little more young, but technically a LOT of their films tend to anyway. They just seemed to hit a certain nerve after a while that sequelling Cars somehow derailed. But the movie's main message is a strong and smart...

That's what I was referring to. I find it strange they had 2 Christmas compilation DVD's when the few Christmas episodes they had up to that point could have fit on one. And some of the episodes were filler. I really think the Treehouse specials, which are usually the biggest episodes of the...

You'd think that, being Peanuts, it would have been a bigger news story all over the internet. But it wasn't. Strange.

While I didn't dislike the talk show segments, the humor was very different from the adventure segments and thus the original series as well. It's closer to the movie in tone, but not entirely without potential. At least it isn't as obsessively hyper as the cough other Jay Ward cartoon...

For hipsters and D.J.'s... and Hipster D.J.'s. They've had those for a while. Almost bought a Dexter's Lab 45 (it was a couple of the songs from the Dexter's Lab hip hop concept album), and it was like 2 bucks, but never did. And just out of novelty of course.

They seem to be peeling back the layers of mystery bit by bit. Slowly, but we're getting there. Somehow, I get the feeling that Rose Quartz didn't much care for the class system on the Gem homeworld, and considering Pearls are essentially an allegory to slavery, I wouldn't doubt that Rose...

I have to admit, I was there when records were still around in stores, but just at the tail end of it. And three guesses what a toddler wanted in terms of records back then? Yeah. Muppets and Sesame Street and stuff. When I got a little older (but still young), I realized something. I...

Also, no one was buying the overpriced and not really that good Young Justice toys Mattel pooped out. Plus, well...if you have a show produced by Greg Weisman, well... you oughtta know by now that show's not long for this world. I'm more annoyed with Green Lantern and Beware the Batman. The...

Ninjago keeps appearing and disappearing. It's not consistently on the network, not even for reruns. That said, there's only three if you include that. The strange thing is, there isn't all that many superhero kid's shows either. Mainly because WB and DC refuse to invest money in anything...

I swear there was another thread where we were talking about Krofft shows, but I can't seem to find it. So, I'll just put this here. I forget how I stumbled onto this a few days ago, but I was reading some of the Agony Booth reviews of the Pink Lady And Jeff show, as well as the TV Tropes...

There's only like 2 cartoons that are even about ninjas. One should be painfully obvious. The other is Randy Cunningham, and I'm only seen like a couple episodes of it, so I don't know how ninja-y it is. Naruto is no longer market directly to kids (to my knowledge). I think ninja is just an...

If you can stand getting the equivalent of 10 vanilla scented candles punching you in your nose, if you get a bag of Birthday Cake Oreos, they almost taste like Dunkaroos. Almost.

I love those old "look at how many old cartoons we have" bits with all the cartoons interacting. Obviously, I have a Roger Rabbit bias here, but I loved those old parody type bits that made fun of the old cartoons. One of my favorites was the diner full of cartoon sidekicks, and Super Friends...
