Thinking that any classic television series can get a mainstream run on a major big three network, no matter what that show is, is idealistic. If the old Muppet show were to run, let's say on MeTV or something that would be a lot more likely. Unless it's a TV special, networks tend to avoid...

Okay. Ground rules. This is NOT the "what sketches scared you as a kid" thread, this is not the "this sound or something bothered me and still does" thread... this is the "this sketch is surprisingly disturbing in its subject matter for a kid's show" thread. I'll start it off. Now, when I was...

Okay...I..uh... found what I was looking for and it was slightly more disturbing than I thought. So I'm going to move it to its own discussion.

As something I was complaining about a lot lately, I was getting annoyed that these characters were getting pushed aside for public domain story characters. Hopefully this means they'll have their own problems they need to solve and not pass the buck to fairy tales. Though, at the risk of...

Whatever Archie does, it doesn't surprise or shock me anymore. They've kind of always had this whole "we're still relevant" type vibe. And they already did that odd thing with The Punished where they nerfed the heck out of him. Archie's getting more relevance lately, and somehow Afterlife...

I'm glad to see that someone appreciates how toned down television CGI has to be. There are those who have the huge disconnect between television animation and theatrical animation. Expecting to see something theatrical quality in CGI on television is like expecting 2-D cartoon to all have...

It's either because the film will play better on home video/streaming or everyone being fickle as heck and hating Seth MacFarline again because he was the worst Oscar host (which isn't saying much since everyone who isn't Billy Crystal gets that distinction) and Million Ways to Die in the West...

The problem was they had to go with the "this is how fantastic characters look in real life" route and I never like that. Not with Scooby-Doo, not with Garfield. I admit, I grew to not hate how the Smurfs looked in the movie and collected pretty much the entire second Happy Meal promotion...

It's the movie they should have made in the first place, sure, but they really should have kept Hank Azaria. He was the best thing about the live action series hands down. I'm sure Rainn Wilson will do a good job, and I hope he hams it up in the role. Other than that, I'm quite happy. They...

Airing the movie The Muppets would seem more likely.

Just said that. It really depends on which artist you talk about. Some are quite forgiving and actually polite about it. Even Henson pulls stuff down, but in at least one case I remember a YT member was asked to pull down the Fraggle Rock cartoon episodes. Only for them to release the series...

I give them credit for trying on that one, but I agree. Emotionally manipulative. However, given the horrible alternatives family movies usually have (crappy low budget book adaptions, CGI talking animals making poop and butt sniffing jokes), it doesn't look nearly as bleak and awful. Still...

I get the whole idea of blocking movies and current TV shows even though it doesn't really save any money either way. Pirates aren't going to pay for movies either way, most fans tend to legally support the films be it theatrical release, home video or legal download releases. Television...

Preschool programming to the contrary is becoming much better. The Dora mode has died off (except Nick pretty much enforced it because they came up with it), and we have some great stuff on Disney Junior. Even PBS has some new good ones like Peg + Cat. The trend of low quality merchandise...

At least it opened better than Million Ways to Die in the West by almost twice as much. Glad to see Max open at a weak fourth place.

Actually, I did some digging and I was right. it WAS Medabots. Found the trailer and everything. Now I fully remember the note from Shout on Tvshowsondvd that specifically said that the show was chopped up too much to be able to synch with the original Japanese version and that it was just...

Normally I would have waited on this one, but... this is just too bad for words. I found out about this on the TV Tropes "So Bad it's Horrible" page. They described it as terrible enough, but it has to be seen to be believed. The adult BBC game Show Don't Scare the Hare. Look for the...

Barney's completely dead now. But trust me when I say this. There are crap tons of preschool programming. Like an excessive number of them, and it's mostly Nick Jr. I am NOT kidding. A new show gets announced almost every week. In the last month they announced a show about Genies, a show...

I should know that this was a skit, but I haven't thought of it until 2 nights ago when it cryptically and randomly popped into my mind when I was trying to go to sleep and I never thought to realize how bizarre it was. But there was this sketch that was either a cartoon or some really weird...

I try very hard not to multi-post found media in another thread, but there's this nice find in a German Sesame Street episode and I think there's more traffic here than the "international skits on youtube" thread. I'll link to the specific post, but... Near the end of this episode in the post...
