    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    I'll give it the benefit of the doubt if it's on SW's end. But considering that PBS withheld 2 episodes of Sesame Street to make them relevant to film releases (they pulled the same stunt with Arthur and a Downton Abby tie in...and DA premiered a month before), it's easier to see this as...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    (shakes head) You suppose PBS enforces this stuff? I know these are kid's shows and all, but they're just...unbelievable with their air dates lately. This and Arthur. Used to be at least 5 episodes in the fall, 5 in the spring. Now it's like 3 episodes in the fall, 1 in the winter, 1 some...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The hilarious thing about Tron is that, no matter how cult it became over the years, the film was famous for being a failure. For the longest time the pop culture joke about Tron was that Disney lost money off of it. Freakazoid and The Simpsons made jokes about it being a flop. The biggest...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Disney is going completely overboard with the announcement of these live action dark versions of their old animated movies. Maleficent and Cinderella managed to make money, sure. But that's only 2 out of the several they've announced. They've recently announced a movie about Aladdin's Genie...

    Sanjay an Craig: New Nick series

    Just able to catch this on the rebroadcast. I missed the second cartoon because I had to catch a bus. And "The Cat that Laid the Golden Hairball" and that episode of Spongebob where Mr. Krabs was capturing Jellyfish. Seems that "exploiting someone for gross purposes" is a Nicktoons right of...

    Harvey Beaks: New Nick series

    Really great to see Harvey back. This show has a genuine sweetness all over that's grounded and not saccharine. There are positive comparisons to Hey Arnold apparently, and that sort of thing really helps this show stick out on Nickelodeon's channel. Certainly more thought provoking and...

    2016 Hallmark Ornament: Electric Mayhem Bus!!!

    I'm very excited for the Mayhem Bus, but I'd be flat out lying if I didn't say what's just in front of it in the lower right hand corner isn't even more exciting and surprising. ME, Grimlock always love pleasant surprise!

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    To be perfectly honest, there's nothing new (Muppets side, but that goes without saying) on the fall schedule on broadcast TV that excites me. ABC's returning favorites, sure. I'm highly excited for those sitcoms and SHIELD and the return of Agent Carter. But the previews I'm seeing are more...

    When you need to rant...

    By no means am I a Bill O' Reilly-esque "All Muslins are terrorists" guy. However, coming from the state that actually had the only semi-successful Terrorist attack in the country since...well... there is some perspective I have at least concerning the two lone wolves involved in that case...

    The new Inspector Gadget series

    While I don't know why I put this off, I finally managed to watch the second 2 episodes last night. While I wasn't overly skeptical about this series, I was a little concerned how a 2 shorts at 11 minutes would work for Gadget. I'm glad that it does, and quite well might I add. I really love...

    2015 Movies!

    I can say for certainty that Ant-Man was a nice surprise. This is why Disney Marvel does it right. They make sure that every movie has a different feel to it, so it's not just "super hero punches bad guy out for 90 minutes after 30 minutes of origin." What made Ant-Man special was that it was...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Something tells me they'd run the 80's show if they could, but while they own everything essentially about the show (character designs, theme song...you name it), they can't get the rights to the show itself. Wolf Films still owns it, and I bet Lionsgate is stubbornly sitting on the rights as...

    The Steven Universe thread

    SU, UG, and Clarence are the ones I worry most about. Gumball is renewed up to fifth season and all, and Regular Show and Adventure Time are the staple shows on the network. But SU is a very fragile show. Consider this is the network that's absolutely horrified by the concept of girls...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    This season, yes. He's been key to at least 2 episodes this season revolving around bikes (he's in bike repair now). Nice to see him in a bigger capacity than in prior seasons.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I really hope they hold onto that series and run the whole thing. Even Fast Forward and Back to the Sewers, as shark jumpy as they are. They marathoned the series over Christmas and only got up as far as the Battle Nexus. I'd be a LOT happier if they just released these in season by season...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    Plus, it gives another glimpse into Gumball's hypocritical self righteousness. Like "The Potato," only with bigger consequences. Gumball can make a point, and he'll usually stick up for it until it's inconvenient for himself. This is the first time I really saw him sticking to that until just...

    When you need to rant...

    Because banishing any language from anyone's personal vocabulary is quite hard, even for those who know it's wrong. Still occasionally say the "R" slur in a fit of rage when I know I'm not supposed to. No matter how hard I try, it's there again. Then of course, that's like Boston's favorite...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    I know this is a week overdue, but I was able to catch this episode again. Anyone else see "The Nemisis" yet? A great episode overall, and perfectly in the shows subversive and deconstructive tone. But the real surprise was David Warner's return to television animation. Haven't heard his...

    When you need to rant...

    Of course, it turns out the case DSnowth was talking about was probably terrorism related (didn't hear much else about it). I don't think that mental health plays a huge role in all gun crime around here. Especially since there's a crapload of gang violence in one very specific Boston...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Okay... at SDCC, Nick showed a recap of season 3. Thing is, Season 3 isn't over yet. So there's a couple reveals that we're still waiting for. Okay... there's an episode coming up called "Turtles in Time" which has yet to be scheduled. Looking at those clips, it's going to feature 2...
