    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    The script was supposedly written by someone who wrote Monsters Inc, I think. I know it was a VERY good Pixar movie, and I'm 90% sure that it was MI, which I think is one of the best Pixar films (Mike Wazowski is my favorite Pixar character). So there's that. Sometimes you can have a great...

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

    My sentiments exactly. I agree that showing kids playing in abandoned construction sites doesn't work outside of the 70's, but other than that, Sesame lost its street cred in recent years. I've been joking about how Sesame Street has been gentrified with skits about Yoga (unironically) and...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I hate how that happens with cartoons, and that has a lot to do with network programmers I don't wanna get into right now. However, it seems this is the strategy for releasing movies too. Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released in other countries before the US, for example. I wouldn't be surprised...

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

    As far as a couple shows go, some Netflix originals get released to DVD. I know for a fact at least Dreamworks is releasing its shows to DVD... or at least they just released Turbo. Of course, that's the only show that's actually finished a season. There was supposedly a release of the...

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

    While the fiscal benefits are admirable at best, the fact still stands. Sure, it's still on PBS, but lets we forget, how incredibly gaulish it is to take a free public television show and cart it off to not just a cable network, but a premium cable network. And then have the "sure, we'll give...

    Questions about anything

    These Crappypastas have ceased being creative, clever, or even interesting. They're always the same "look at the disturbing crap in a kid's show" gag when... come on! REAL kid's shows have REAL disturbing stuff in it and it's a trillion times better because it's true. From the Warner Siblings...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    There was a big study that reveals that bullies aren't really the damaged good taking their anger out on everyone else to be tough in the face of tragedy like Nelson Muntz. Nope. They're apparently all Social Darwinists with big egos pushing people around because they can. Okay... was the...

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

    For the longest time I always scoffed when some politico said "Sesame Street could do well on private TV networks" in response to the whole "we don't want PBS to get that teeny amount of tax money it gets" debate. And you know what? Crushing the show into a half hour format is exactly what I'd...

    The Steven Universe thread

    To be fair, SU had 2 weeks of full episodes in the summer promotion while everything besides TTG (which clobbers Spongebob in the Ratings, especially since they show it just as much of the day) only got one. I really dislike how they only have one new night of episodes and only a mall selection...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Then again, certain films that bomb and get horrible reviews tend to get Astro Turfed. But yeah. So, Alpha and Omega has another cheap DTV sequel. And it's retailing for 10 bucks. Yeah... proof positive these things are made on the cheap.

    The Future of Muppet Cinema

    And as a result, that mediocre eye sore has earned my undying hatred. I can't stress enough, there was a song called "Without You" that, as far as I can get from the context of the plot pieced together from some of the songs, was all the Muppets calling Kermit and singing about how much they...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    While I'm not even bothering to post it here or even to watch it, the new Jem Trailer supposedly shows that Synergy is indeed in the movie, and it still hasn't won over 30+ year olds who weren't going to see this thing anyway. Now I said it before, there was no way this film wasn't going to be...

    Thoughts on sponsors

    Hilariously, all things we don't have now. Ah, the Dot Com boom. Well, Talbot's isn't a Dot Com, more of a failing clothing chain store that really offers nothing you can't get anywhere else cheaper or more accessible. It's still around, but it's been on the brink for years.

    The Rick and Morty thread

    I also really like the scene between the alien, Jerry, and Beth. Beth is always quick to defend her father, Jerry hates Rick for all his abuse and coming into his home and acting like he owns the place. Jerry assumes the worst about the alien and Rick while Beth defends him, all the while both...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Alpha Omega is the film no one asked for and no one wanted. Darn straight that it was so cheap to produce that it made back its budget. If it wasn't for the fact that it has a small, but vocal cult fanbase posting terrible screenshots with Comic Sans font slapped on it (something I hate no...

    The Rick and Morty thread

    That last episode was massively important for one thing... That's about as important a revelation as Morty telling Summer about the events of "Rick Potion No9" at the end of the the innocuous enough Rixty Minutes episode (even though it was a long set up about Jerry and Beth's relationship)...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    There's a couple great behind the scenes and asides in this one. Tang Shen was played by the same woman who played Karai in the live action Bay movie. I really like how stuff like this works out with the whole referencing past projects. I'm sure the episode was recorded just after the movie...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Which is the angle I'm actually excited for vis a vis the Kermit and Piggy relationship. We've seen Piggy extremely jealous of female guest stars before, but never a recurring character that she has to work with (the Annie Sue thing was more about her being upstaged as a star, unless I need to...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Okay... the Peabody and Sherman Netflix show is still happening. I don't know about the talk show angle, but I like that it's 2-D animated.
