    Sesame Street will continue to air on re-branded Sprout Channel

    The Fat Albert cartoon was more a creation of everyone who worked on it than Bill. I'd say the cartoon has "Smallville Syndrome" where it's supposed to be the past but looked and sounded too much like the present. I remember an interview with Lou from the first DVD saying something like "Yeah...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    Those are all the way out on the highway over here, and no buses go by them. But thankfully managed to get a Chocula from Target last night. Ate something else this morning, so it's ready for tomorrow. The Target ones seem to have this gimmick... you buy all three cereals and cut out the...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I'm shocked that no one else paid attention to this story. DC has teamed up with Nick (and possibly IDW) to bring A FREAKING BATMAN CROSSOVER!!!!! TMNT and Batman. That's...that's huge. The closest the two ever got to appearing in official media together is Mikey's cameo in The Lego Movie...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    To be honest, I never cared much for those books or the television series. I'm sure those who grew up watching and reading Goosebumps will have a beef with this movie essentially being some sort of odd anniversary parody movie. But I don't have the perspective to grasp. Anyway, I saw the...

    Questions about anything

    To show how screwed up and disorganized that party really is, even when they want the same exact things. You basically have two sections of Republicans. The same neo-con flavor for rich guys, fakey fundie and hypocritically preachy flavor for the poor guys that are sadly the moderates now...

    Wabbit: The new Looney Tunes series

    I find Cheese a weird case of the creators purposely trying to make the most unlikable annoying character possible, and that rare case where he's absolutely hated in-universe. I kinda like the character, actually, as an agent of chaos. Like the one where they're locked out of the house because...

    Sesame Street will continue to air on re-branded Sprout Channel

    What makes the Bill Cosby case so painful is that he's pretty much been doing what he did even before Fat Albert, a cartoon designed to teach kids morals. he was willfully doing that while working in the children's entertainment industry. A child star who got desperate and did thing (no matter...

    Wabbit: The new Looney Tunes series

    Nah. The rewritten universe was essentially the original Scooby-Doo cartoon. The goofy music cue and laugh track at the end were the tip off. As far as Scooby goes, it's weird to see they keep certain things in canon. What's New Scooby-Doo, Mystery Inc, and the first 2 live action movies...

    Sesame Street will continue to air on re-branded Sprout Channel

    I'd really like to see SW take advantage of whatever money HBO's giving them and do something with some older episodes. HBO supposedly is going to have 150 older episodes somewhere (unless I read something wrong), but I'd like to see SW offer some older episodes somewhere. Unfortunately, yes...

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

    That makes me wonder if the funding credits are going to mention HBO. Sounds like that could be a possibility. Anyway, not seeing that Uncanny Valley commercial where a human kid's head on a CGI body is a major plus. :p

    Wabbit: The new Looney Tunes series

    They're planned. They said movies and TV specials. Warner Bros is basically Lego's media partner, so I wouldn't be surprised to see something around the same capacity of the Justice League specials and movies. They have like 2 of them a year. I can foresee a video game, even though one's not...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I should have posted this a month ago, but... The film is 3 years old now. Somehow it feels like 5 years ago to me because of how far in the rear view it is. Now let's review. Movie was released to theaters: Bombed quickly and embarrassingly. Promises of another movie: Thankfully never...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Funny thing about that. I don't know how they got this shipment in, but years and years ago I was at some bargain outlet that sold Bugles...from some Middle Eastern country. Freaked me the heck out. It was the same exact packaging except the writing was different and the illustration of a...

    What made you think today?

    I remember once during the big 70's comeback of the 90's saying that the 80's would come back in the 00's and they didn't believe me. Frankly, I'm NO 70's fan, mainly because I never lived it and could find the nostalgic angle as I never had one. There's plenty of great things from that decade...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    The only thing I care about is the Monster cereals. And they're even harder to find this year. Target just got them in when I've seen them get in shipments before the rest of the Halloween merchandise in the past. When they had Yummy Mummy for one lousy year I manged to get it first weekend...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Found a Japanese Cartoon Network Promo. They apparently had Toonami as well, and to no surprise they're American action cartoons. Except for one thing... Japanese Toonami has American Cartoons that look like Japanese cartoons. I'm...I'm dizzy.

    Muppet Film and TV References

    Hotel Transylvania 2 features Dennisovich (Drac's Grandson) watching his favorite monster on television, a stand in for Cookie Monster called Cakie. He's closer to Elmo in terms of personality, but the reference is obvious. It also features a blue elephant Snuffy stand in as well.

    Old Nickelodeon

    I'd rather Nick show their other shows on a regular basis instead. I'm glad the new Chipmunks series is a success. That way they actually want to run a new cartoon series besides the Sponge. They don't even have a single daily slot for TMNT and that thing's a merchandising goldmine. Sure...

    Wabbit: The new Looney Tunes series

    That new Scooby series somehow looks like a Seth MacFarline parody of some sort when the characters are in action. I don't know if that's intentional or not. I'm keeping an open mind with this one. I've seen bad Scooby shows before, and they're usually the ones that go off formula. The...

    Rovio Is Teaming Up With Marvel To Create Angry Birds Movie

    Yep. What I meant by trailery. I can't say I've been huge on Sony's animated films. Cloudy did grow on me, and at least I liked it better than Rio. By no means do I really like the film, but it has its moments and once you distance yourself from the book, it's alright. I did really enjoy...
