Before everyone thinks this is a Disney Anti-Muppet conspiracy, they're WORSE with Disney Afternoon and other cartoon TV shows. They refuse to release any of the rest of them on DVD because they "sold poorly," yet downright deleted accounts that had them up. Not blocked... deleted. And with...

For those going to SDCC (or rather those who will buy from e-Bay what will be sold at SDCC) they plan to have an exclusive flocked version of Snuffy. http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?pid=47485&disp=ilib&oty=1&oid=63822

Here's the thing. If they did give Maria a send off, Luis is still on the show and got a new lease as a character via the bike repair shop. Think of that message, even if unintentional. He's wearing a fedora now. Try and tell me it wouldn't imply he'd be the depressing yet sleazy guy trying...

I'll agree to that, though I'd also add that a lot of the show seems to hinge on who's available that day. I wouldn't say that pushing the older cast members aside is some sort of fault on the part of the writers or the series. Some of them just seem to appear less and less because they've got...

Let's not forget this is her choice and she's not being forced out of the series by any means. And let's also keep in mind how unprecedented that a show that has run from 1969 to this day actually is, especially when they had their share of mainstays and revolving door members. I'm sure most...

Original programming on a niche channel is expensive. Even the higher quality channels only have a handful of shows now. Reruns or just incessant blocks of the same 5 shows is all too common. I wouldn't expect something like Logo to survive for that long without just getting the same cheap...

I have to say I'm pleased that there's one film sequel made 20+ years after the first one that actually was successful and movie goers actually liked. That's one of the rarest things out there. I feel they did it right, using the original as a base and having a logical time jump and commenting...

The oldest sitcom any main syndication channel in my area airs is Seinfeld. The rest of it is either current or semi-current but recently cancelled shows or absolute syndication produced garbage. Judge shows, shock talk shows (other than 3 annoying staples they seem to last barely a year). My...

While I quite enjoy the series, and love the direction they're going in, I really hope that Season 2 is more continuity heavy and utilizes some TFP concepts and characters. I'd love to see Starscream and Shockwave (the only remaining Megatron Decepticons left after Predicons Rising) make a...

I'd say Grace is the worst show they air. I did really like the Drew Carey Show (wonder if they're going to get to the later "weird" seasons) and Spin City and really wanted to see episodes of those again. Empty Nest is a weird nostalgic thing for me, and glad it's around somewhere. And while...

The constant cliche hovering over Ventriloquism is the whole bit about how they look creepy. On the one hand... they sure do. On the other hand, great ventriloquists would bring so much life into them (Charlie and Edgar, not to mention Paul Winchell's crew) they could be endearing. Same can't...

Essentially what I was saying and the debate moved away from that anyway. I do not expect this to be the level of Greg the Bunny in terms of adult puppet entertainment. Early to mid-Simpsons at worst. And remember, the Simpsons always had merchandising and marketing for kids from its first...

I'm very impressed how far this show has come in 2 years. They were a Simpsons couch gag, and an extended on at that. Look at the other guest couch gag animators. Bill Plymton, John K, and the Triplets of Belleville guy (name escapes me). All long established animators and well known in the...

Never liked that one either. On the one hand, it's a little ham fisted and clumsy in its message. There's that old chestnut of a message that kids shows usually give about everyone being special, then you have to tell them that everyone's essentially the same. Both are hard messages to delver...

I've no major problem at all with the current Sesame Street theme (other than the embarrassing use of that Zoe puppet). A little "We're Still Relevant?" Sure. But considering the show embraced Disco the second Saturday Night Fever became a hit, I'll give that a pass. I'd say, if anything...

Now that I think of it, know what that reminds me of? "HEY KIDS!!! If you don't exercise with Binky, you'll grow up to be WORTHLESS!!!!" And the episode of South Park about "A Million Little Fibers." Almost wonder if Trey and Matt saw this skit as inspiration. This sketch was posted...

So Ted Crazy...err Cruz is trying to attract younger voters with a Youtube video where he does terrible Simpsons impersonations. To quote one Springfield resident, "Worst political pandering, EVER!"

Actually, I'd say that this is almost not surprising if you think about it. Her presence in the show was starting to diminish anyway. That can't be a coincidence. While I don't think the casting call that gave us Mando was an intentional replacement of Maria, it's clear they wanted a younger...

In the little baby with a terrible grip handful of Elmo and Grover segments, they manage to make the best use of the characters. Grover does his incredibly incompetent/highly inefficient/completely oblivious routine while Elmo is more hands on and a wizkid. Elmo's the big character on the show...

Me's on it's summer schedule. That's always a mixed bag. On the plus side, Laverne and Shirley Wednesdays. I have too much of a Robin Williams bias to say that's my favorite Happy Days spinoff, but if it wasn't for that sure as Shirley it's my favorite spinoff. Think I even like it more than...
