Not to mention Ernie did have an understudy before during Play with me Sesame. But when a recast comes out of nowhere, it does throw you. I remember seeing one of Eric's first appearances as Grover and wondering "what the heck happened to Frank Oz?" While retrospectively I get what Disney was...

Loved the subversive line about "Regan's Masters." Nice to see them doing something with Stan's rivalry with Ford, and showing him in more serious moments about how he knows he'll never measure up. Also great to see Gideon calling Dipper out for doing the exact same thing Gideon later did in a...

I also love that in a move decades coming, Bugs finally got revenge on Cecil the turtle. I also enjoyed seeing how the characters play out in a sitcom format, but I really wish they pushed it more with the other characters. While I have no problem with the series centering around Bugs and...

They have their 80's voices because Ross and Janice have much much more creative control over this series than in the films. No Fox execs telling them they need to go Hollywood. Ross and Janice own this series...heck, Janice's name is on the title card. I have to admit, I really wish they'd...

Scooby-Doo is a strange case. The series has changed formats multiple times, sometimes completely, sometimes keeping the original formula but changing up how it's presented. By all means it either works or doesn't, and when it doesn't another one comes along soon enough. Meanwhile, they still...

Well, to be honest, even a great LT movie doesn't really work as the characters somehow don't translate to a movie quite right. I mean, Tweety's High Flying Adventure was essentially an hour and a half episode of Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries with other Looney Tunes characters awkwardly shoved...

Nice to see that Rowlf gets one, but this really could have been a bit funnier if they did Uncle Deadly.

To further show how much ennui Warner Bros has shown The Looney Tunes Show, consider this. There's a Looney Tunes Show movie that didn't get any publicity, advertisement, or even acknowledgement. That's right. A Direct to DVD Looney Tunes Show styled movie that you never heard of. And I...

Not that I was skeptical, but the fact it wasn't announced that he was taking over before last season aired kinda threw me. But seems Billy went from understudy to main-ish performer quickly. And by all means, that means more Ernie due to the ready availability. Jim's death left a huge gap...

That's probably it. Kinda looks cheap, though. The PWMS backdrop and just Elmo. I guess they aren't putting that much money into these things because the home video physical media market keeps shrinking. Other than a tiny glottal/nasal minutia, Ryan sounds closer to Elmo than most recasts...

Monster Clubhouse was too hyperactive and nonsensical to really fit in with the series. It was met with various kinds of "whaaaaat?!" in the fandom when it first popped up, then of course general annoyance. I don't think it was by any means a bad skit, but it felt much more like spinoff...

The thing is I know that, but it really feels that this is a little too specific for just a DVD. It feels like this was something else, even if it isn't. I could totally see something like this as a segment. That's why it feels weird.

I'm sure that Nick Jr. and PBS/Sprout among others have been contacted and passed, otherwise it probably wouldn't have directly gone to Hulu. I'm very disappointed PBS didn't pick it up with their relationship with Henson for Sid the Science kid and Dinosaur Train. Probably couldn't have found...

Wait... is she supposed to be some sort of spoof on Leslie Stahl (or however that's spelled) from 60 Minutes? I got to admit, the punchline being that her serious question to Grover was a lunch order was a little more comical than the Mumford one. Didn't see it coming, like that sketch. I...

Ah. Wasn't listening closely. But I had a hunch. Ferlingetti was pointing to erased text.

Just for fun, I found the Burrito/Burger fight song and I Love Pie dubbed in Japanese. Love how they say "I Ravu Pie" in English

I know this is reading waaaaaay too much into this, but SW just posted a clip of the new Play with Elmo DVD, and there's something interesting with it... It really seems that this DVD is a collection of Elmo segments that look like they were intended for something besides a DVD. Which leads...

While not extremely old Nickelodeon, I've came to a realization lately. Ren and Stimpy has always been my favorite Nicktoon, but lately I've come to the conclusion that Rocko is a better show overall. The Spumco and just post Spumco enough that they were still using their scripts era of Ren...

I'd hate to say this, but I'd say I like this guy's flow better than Kevin's in the original. It would have been so easy to just pop out one of those jumbled, poor translations of songs that you see once every so often, but this one manages to keep the rhythm. Maybe even sounding better. Of...

That's why the relationship was interesting, if sometimes toxic. But that version of the relationship really seemed to be Muppet TV show exclusive, whereas the movies were always much sweeter. There wasn't the same tension in TMM, GMC, or MTM because that didn't fit into the plot of any of...
