Okay... uh... according to the title in its Shalom Sesame appearance, Grover's ABC Disco is called "Grover Travolta." Uh.. okay... makes sense. So was this the skit's actual name or the song, but the skit was called ABC Disco? I'm a little confused on that. Clearly the producers of Shalom...

Funny thing is, even if you didn't reference Peppermint Park, just... ugh... puppetry aside, those song lyrics are just as eloquent as "How could you order M&M's without the letter 'M'" and being so blue that all someone eats is bleu cheese. It's so eerily similar in quality, I'd wonder if they...

They really seem to have got it down in essence. Seems that whoever's puppeteering Mr. M is trying to get the same movements down, but somehow it doesn't quite work as Mr. M looks much smaller this time, and the original one was much larger and unwieldy. Other than that, it does seem like an...

Luckily I don't get those kinds of furnature ads. I get freaking Bob and his cohorts using slang that was considered extremely lame and out of touch in the 1950's. Always complaining about the "Hoity Toity stores." When the heck was the last time you heard anyone utter that even ironically...

Yeah. A whole episode devoted to the lamest twin joke cliche that's usually not even funny in 2 seconds. HEY! I checked my local schedule and both this episode and the Pageant episode are on today. Weird.

Okay, having seen The Cinema Snob review Wired, it makes me feel a trillion times more thankful that the weirdo Jim Henson biopic never got funding. I just found out about it on the "So Bad it's Horrible" page on TVTropes (I check once a week to see them add new movies to the list), and here's...

I laugh in the face of that hopefulness. ;) But yeah. I don't see why more of these segments don't get on DVD or don't get continued sets. I'm sure there's a way they can put the entire collection of AFFS on a disk or two, and I'm really disappointed that there was only one small collection...

Funny thing is, I was right about something. Seems they did recall all those model based Call of War (or whatever it is) ads and replaced them with just game "footage" and a narration by a male voice actor. So yeah. maybe someone did complain. I just think it's sad we're still having to deal...

I'll admit to a difference in tone with the fantasy game, but it is exactly the same concept. I looked it up and TV Tropes has an entire page on it... Apparently she is in the game as a tutorial. Quality of the game aside (essentially if it's a tablet game, I automatically assume it's a buy...

Yeah. You'd think less of them would be better, too. Know what I always hated? When they do that to cereal commercials. Why? Usually shortened cereal commercials are shortened because the advertisement makes room for a new product variation or special offer (be it mail away or free inside)...

I've been talking about this for years, actually. What I hate is the double standards of: Anorexia is a problem but binge eating isn't a problem unless the person's thin and somehow doesn't gain much weight, but somehow obesity is a problem as well, but we're portraying it as laziness while...

(looking back at the first post I made on this thread, it's funny how even I turned the thread into "there's more dangerous advertisements than junk food" to "this commercial sucks, doesn't it?" But am glad to see most of the commercials I complained about no longer exist). Anyway, three...

And more original and clever, too. Dystopian Tween fic just follows the same archetypes of better dystopian society projects (1984, which should be obvious) and it seems to have the obvious slant of those societies specifically geared to punishing young people because that's the demographic...

I agree to that. Especially since all the tween lit now are just copies of the same bad dystopian future plots. Still,the one thing about Tomorrowland that's offputting is the odd significance of looking too juvenile and not being kid friendly enough. At least with the clumsy trailers. I'm...

Well, now I got another of the very layered jokes in episodes of Animaniacs. Remember the episode "Sir Yakksalot?" How at one point a caricature of magician Doug Henning appears as Merlin? Well, it's not just a reference to him being a magician... I just read this on TVTropes... They...

So Disney's not going to do Tron 3 because Tomorrowland didn't hit audiences as hard as they wanted it to. Never mind the fact that while Age of Ultron got a nice berth of weak comedy movies it's first 2 weeks while Tomorrowland had fierce competition from several big films being around in...

And in the end, the show never took off. The small controversy around it was essentially all the publicity the show got. After all, it was a non-Hasbro/non-nostalgic program on The Hub, which doesn't even exist anymore. If this were to get a toy line, who would the toy line be for? Girls...

Keeping up with the Oogene theme...uh... Yeah... this is the most clumsily heavy handed Christian show there is. It's walking the line between "Huh... can you believe that?!?" and "was this produced by a cult?" And the dialogue is so simplistic too. Like they're talking down to kids to...

Mustard is pretty much a condiment that you either like or don't. Barring mustard preferences that is. I know people who are incredibly disgusted by it, perhaps because of its strong vinegar base. One only will eat Honey mustard, and even then only a very specific brand. And I'm talking fast...

I'm about to date myself here, but does anyone remember a Perdue advertisement where a puppet buy and puppet girl talk about Chicken Nuggets with a Puppet Perdue guy? And like, the Puppets are Mr. Roger's Neighborhood style? And they were talking about all the things they dip the nuggets in...
