    Really?!? This again? (Talking toys)

    Exactly. But some parents like to think that they're protecting their kids from everything, and sometimes need to invent a problem at the absence of an easily solvable one. Still, gibberish nonsense coming out of a cheap 2 cent speaker? Even well articulated words can come out sounding wrong...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    Seeing that thing in action, it's decidedly less interesting and more baffling. There's being experimental and then there's "Dear Lord! What have we done?" The fur face and clean shaven torso are mildly disturbing, not "this is horrific" so much as think of a very hairy guy with hairy arms...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    Seems like Muppets Tonight done right. The obvious excuse for that series was that Henson wasn't using Kermit as much and Frank Oz was only available every so often. I love the concept that Piggy's got her own show, and the popular characters have these behind the scenes jobs instead of...

    Really?!? This again? (Talking toys)

    I think it's less of "what you want to hear" and more of "what you expressly would hate to hear, but hear anyway because making it sound like an evil force is corrupting your child who probably hears worse language than that at school." Besides. If Minions actually swore, it would be in their...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    That's the thing about Sharknado. It's not that it's just in on its own joke, it's painfully self aware to the point where they're bigger creator trolls than Teen Titans Go's writing staff. It's one thing to put in X-list celebrities just because they know they're going to be recognized as...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Usagi would all have to depend on how nice Nick is to Stan Sakai. It would be a shame if this was the first animated series to not feature him in any way (especially with the stellar job they did in the 2003 series). There was a rumor that Flaming Carrot was supposed to appear. Nothing came...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    It always takes a major tragedy, a celebrity, or a white chick for people to pay attention. That's a shame and it's all on the public for that. But that doesn't mean it can't be a positive conversation starter either.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Seems that TMNT Has been renewed for a fifth season Even though it sounds like it's the upcoming one (which is only the fourth). But it looks like we're finally getting into the Turtles comic book space adventures. The Fugitoid and the Triceritons are mentioned (and being played by David...

    Really?!? This again? (Talking toys)

    I wanna collect as many of them as I possibly can, especially the caveman one. As long as they don't overreact and recall the thing. Save that for actual toys with actual design flaws that are harmful to children. To quote an episode of Recess (as best I can remember) "Anyone who finds...

    Pairings You Hate

    As someone who kinda has mild mental problems due to childhood traumas (none thankfully from my family), there is a tendency to fear rejection and building walls to prevent anyone from getting close enough to wind up losing. What I find fascinating about Helga is she takes that to a very...

    Sesame Street's most disturbing bits

    That's a very special cartoon, I guess... I know the earlier skits were meant to be weird and surreal, but there's something really off about this one. And coming from the same series that had a cartoon about an elevator opening to find 2 twin George Washington busts, that's saying something...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I'd say the second one is the most likely of cases. Easier and cheaper, and making these things more disposable. Only thing I really like about these new WB produced DVD's are the fact they have older made for home video productions on them. I can see why they wouldn't release "season sets"...

    How's this for a bizarre crossover?

    Hey. Remember how bizarre this toy line was? Randomly mashing a completely unrelated video game into a famous toy line instead of just creating their own. The very thought of G.I. Joe crossing over with Street Fighter was the most ridiculous, inane thing out there that has no substance or...

    Really?!? This again? (Talking toys)

    Okay, apparently some overly protective parents with a black belt in offensive mondegreen are up in arms about one of McDonalds cheap little Minion toys sort of cursing maybe.. Anyone ever get sick of this always popping up? I know I am. Very much so.

    Pairings You Hate

    Lucky was a freaking terrible character to add to the cast. You have this entire series devoted to how these suburban Texans aren't cartoonish rednecks and are actually decent people with odd personality quirks. Like this whole sunny memory about people and places they knew and had fondness...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It really seems when everything's moving too fast, that does nothing but help the stigma of major motion pictures being throwaway cash grabs that can easily be ignored until they hit DVD Bluray streaming. Unless something's too big and loud to translate to an iPhone screen, or just lucky as...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Sounds like that's some collector's website preorder price. They'll probably be like 10-15 bucks a set (at worst) at comic book stores.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I really don't like that. I think the internet is to blame because we hear of movie rights as they've been bought. But just because a film is announced does not mean it's going to complete production first of all. But I miss seeing a film announced in teaser form 2 years before it comes out...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    That's a very loaded situation. It's like a race lift in a comic book movie. One way you call it out you're a bigot, the other you're supporting something without nuance. My concern is this. It took a reality TV star for people to care about the transgender community. And while it is...
