While I didn't dislike last night's episode, I felt that they tried waaaay too hard to copy what made the last inter-dimensional cable episode special and just couldn't capture that lightning in a bottle. There were some good bits in there, but nothing quite as inspired as Ball Fondlers...

I'll take your word for it, but I still don't want to bother. Even with Ferb in the cast. These YA novels all seem to blend in, and it's obvious why. I understand that younger readers will always be drawn to books about characters their age. But everything that's trying to be Hunger Games...

I could have guess that. Don't know why these anemic renditions of not that good tweenage drama stories are still so popular. Especially since the level of writing is always just so... I mean, it's like whoever wrote this came up with the title "The Scorch Trials" because it sounded cool...

CN's pretty much...yeah...when it comes to scheduling these things. Lots of things come as spur of the moment. They added Shaun the Sheep to the weekday line up with no promotion, and they yanked it off for another TTG marathon mid-week without any notice. The new Mixels special just popped...

I'm splitting this up from the Looney Tunes Show thread for obvious reasons. So apparently, and without any promotion until just today, Cartoon Network flip flopped and decided to premier at least the first 5 episodes of Wabbit starting tomorrow at 5 on their own network, not its sister network...

I wanna see more stories where Phyllis interacts with her evil counterpart. Something tells me the fact they look alike and have the same accent might open up some possibilities. Larry's loyalty is the key trait that makes me love the character. He really doesn't seem the evil villain sort...

HEY! A whale that sounds like Griz! I'm really starting to dig this show. Turning the "you don't believe in my dream, but I'm going to make it" trope to something only they would do and paintings stealing themselves because they're too bored to be in a museum? Great to see they got a song...

The misfire for me was the early attempt at faux-interactivity. Who'd've thought Sesame Street would be the first children's television show to inflict that, even before the age of personal computers? Never liked that at all, especially in modern kid's shows where it comes as patronizing and...

Didn't the pilot get rave reviews? Sometimes you just gotta wonder. This sounds like another MMW situation where the reviewers are only barely familiar with the concept, want something nostalgic that wasn't really there in the first place, or something else idiotic. If this is the same...

The only movie that was able to pull off the decades old wait for a sequel was Jurassic World. And even then, while the second and third movies made money, they weren't really all that well liked compared to the original. Plus, JW was kinda tongue in cheek, almost making fun of itself for...

By no means do I have a major problem in general with easy use of popular music in commercials (anything would have to be very specific), but there's taking a popular song and pairing it up with a product that's a no brainer. Yeah, I hate when they use those kinds of songs for prescription drug...

I fail to see why the coerced backstabbing and disgusting sensationalism of reality programming never registers on the "smut" level, yet fictitious material always bares the brunt. The obvious can be said, the whole Muppets are all Sesame Street bit. And as we all know, there were plenty of...

Remember back when I was complaining about the hip new thing was to have shaky voiced women covering slow, moody, acoustic versions of decidedly not that versions of popular music to make some TV show or movie seem really brooding and dark? Well, I found it's male counterpart. Only this time...

They set that up and dealt with it quickly. The season's last episode looks like it will deal with that. But for that sort of thing to pay off in a wacky episode like that at the very end? While I knew that would happen all along, the fact it came so quickly and at the very end of an episode...

One Million Moms is essentially a hate group consisting of waaaaaaaaay less than one million of anything, and definitely not Moms. I'd turn this into a rant, normally, about how they're a group of homophobic theocrats spreading their own brand of Sharia Law (or as it's known "Family Values")...

I love how in the latest episode, we get a goofy story about Star using too much magic to give Marco a beard

I recently got into watching this series, and I have to admit I like it almost as much as Wander, Gravity Falls and Star. I think this is pretty much the lesser respected of the bunch, but it seems that the further this series went in its first season, the better it got. They definitely...

That's cool. I was actually more worried about her being dropped from the show than Prairie. Hope she gets utilized just as much. Well...at least a little more than she was lately.

HUH! Apparently Key and Peele and MadTV star (where he played a dead on parody version of Sesame Street's Gordon) Kegan Michael Key was half brother to comic book and cartoon series writer and creator of Static Shock Dwayne McDuffie That's really something! :wisdom:

I said "in the first place." Seems they changed the format once the second season came around. And, frankly, that season was far better than the first where they were trying too hard to be The Muppet Show mixed with The Tonight Show because that was considered the cool, edgy updatey thing...
