    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Not so much a rant, so I'm going to put it here... So, Nickelodeon somehow decided it was the late 90's and started pushing the heck out of the Olsen Twins and decade old programs/movies with them. Absolutely no coincidence to the announcement of the Full House Netflix series. Now, they run...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    They...did at some point I guess? I know full well about the song about Grover and George that was decades ago. I swear there was a "C" one as well. I'm loving the newer animated letter shorts they've had this year. Seems they need to keep up that good work and put more emphasis on letters...

    When you need to rant...

    That statement is entirely why creators and writers favor white male roles. Look at Homer Simpson. You could list everything offensive about the character... negative portrait of white middle American males, offensiveness to fat people that he's only 240 and somehow the fattest character in a...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    Define "right." And without the words "exact copy of the original series." Only person who could even manage to get exact copy down pat was Roger Langridge, and even then he improved upon the format with... what's that term again? Oh yeah. "Personal lives." He took the fawning over guest...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    Supposedly, it's going to be a balance of what the Muppet Show was and mockumentary format. I'd say something like The Comedians would be the best bet, only with more Muppets. Something like a The Comedians/Louie/30 Rock format is what I'm seeing and it works. I think "The Office" is thrown...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    Too late to add this as an edit. Unless it's an oversight, ABC didn't renew that horrible Last Man Standing Show. The same fate fell Christella, and I swear that was doing okay. Laughing my butt off that Resurrection was puylled. These long, slow, conspiracy genre shows don't manage to get...

    The Steven Universe thread

    Well, Ronaldo is a conspiracy theorist. In other words, he gets the fact wrong and thinks they're true. Almost seems like that's intentional. Now if there's one surprising fact that wasn't mentioned in that list, it's Lars was voiced by the last guy I ever suspected. The guy who plays Hahn...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    Variety shows do indeed suck. Not all of them indiscriminately. Carol Burnett did it right. But the sheer glut of crappy Sonny and Cher wannabes... ugh... don't make me force you to watch a Pink Lady and Jeff! You do have a right to complain, though, and a right to not watch. Just not a...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    Thankfully, it managed to reach a broader audience. All American Girl was hammered by the network, which lead to its downfall. That's the minority show ghetto for you. They have to make sure that something meant to relate to a group that's not represented properly can relate to a group that's...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    That's going a little too far. But it's depressing that some of the fanbase thinks there's some huge Elmo related conspiracy why Frank hasn't been on the show regularly. If he wants to come back and perform characters, even for just a couple skits, that's great. But if he doesn't, that's his...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    That's good. Hopefully the show heads will be smart enough to end things at the end of this season, preventing what happened with their last show. You don't want to be that open ended. I think Last Man on Earth managed to end with a nice ambiguity that does add a cliffhanger element, sure...

    Uncle Grandpa

    ...uh... Did Belly Bag just make the joke I think he did? That's even dirtier than when Dot Warner refused to "finger Prince." :crazy: LOVED the obsessive fan episode. While I've always liked the Uncle Grandpa likes helping kids episodes, I love the Uncle Grandpa helps those who don't realize...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    As for me, I'm ecstatic yet concerned about if this one will find an audience. I'm happy they're back on television, though network television never gave them the opportunities and chances syndication did.

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Why is everyone so up in arms about Frank Oz not being on the show? Remember, it's his choice to appear or not. Don't blame the show for not being exactly like it was in the 70's for him having a life of his own.

    The Steven Universe thread

    Among other things, I knew that Steven pulling the sword out of Lion was a reference to Utena. That just confirms they actually watched it, not that there was any doubt.

    When you need to rant...

    I think there are certain people that take things way too sensitively. Mistakes can be made with characters. As long as they don't go through painful Flanderizing or derailment that completely ruin them, that is. Now, I don't want to know the criticisms because I don't want spoilers. Anyone...

    Kermit and Walter at YouTube Space LA

    That does put it in a better perspective. From that other guy's comment I get a "the food is terrible! And such small portions" vibe. While I have to go through this again... Disney has no obligation to acknowledge anything that isn't Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Frozen, or a couple of their...

    Your dream TV show music settings.

    Technology marches on. It's just that odd inbetween of heavy synth and convincing artificial synth that's the awkward period. It's strange that the two extremes are more effective than the middle. Seems that now we've got two paths when it comes to cartoon background music. Either...

    Kermit and Walter at YouTube Space LA

    Whatever anyone can say about Disney, the fact that after a disappointing box office and stronger franchises under their belt (Marvel and Star Wars, natch) they even give The Muppets the time of day is something to be happy about. I've had problems with their slow and cautious stream of Muppet...
