    Uncle Grandpa

    I complained about Arthur's uninspired "too short to ride on a rollercoaster" episode, but Uncle Grandpa found a great twist. Have Pizza Steve not be able to get on a ride named after him. Loved the gag about the Uncle Grandpa walkabout taking its head off in front of a kid.

    Your dream TV show music settings.

    There's just something about the Soundtrack to shows like Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, and The Littles. It has such a 1980's charm to it, and there's always a dramatic quality that gives those tense moments a real sharp dynamic. What Gadget fan didn't love the ominous, almost frantic music...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Great to hear. Or read, rather. Abby should not have to shoulder the female lead character focus on this show. I like Abby fine, though they seem to be turning her into a Stepford smiler lately. it's just that (and I've said this enough times) Abby and Elmo are an inorganic pairing, whereas...

    Oreos Banned from School

    As I've said before with essentially everything, there's two extremes. Those who want to ban things and those who want to classify Ketchup as a vegetable. Depends on which lobby throws the most money out. But yeah, nothing's really good for you, but there are essential nutrients in certain...

    DreamWorks Animation Shutdown

    You realize that IHOP pays them to use their characters, right? They have other studios overseas. They opened up a Chinese facility just before the production of Kung Fu Panda 3. They still have an Indian one and I beleive a Canadian one as well. It's just the US one they're closing because...

    Labyrinth short comic in Boom's FCBD 2015

    This preview has the first pace it's just a splash panel, though.

    Harvey Beaks: New Nick series

    If anyone could wrap their heads around the odd airing, this Saturday's 2 new episodes were great. I especially liked the one about Princess and her father tricking all the kids to all compete in a rigged contest. Nice to see an episode about one of the characters besides the twins, Harvey...

    Yooka-Laylee: A love letter to 3D platform games

    Have to admit. The fact that N64 and Playstation 1 games are considered retro makes anyone feel old. Gotta admit, I never quite liked this style of game, not even with Mario, but it's great to see fans of that style getting a nice classic(ish) boost. Me? I'm all about 1990's arcade...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    That article got one thing right where all the others failed. They called the series "the latest incarnation of The Muppet Show." No reboot, no remake, "incarnation." And it implies exactly what it should, a new Muppet series that follows the original characters we love so much in a different...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    Eh, they had those guys long ago. Even Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures parodied them. Now we're those guys. It's horrifying.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The thing still domestically made nearly twice as much as the best performing movie of last year's opening. It's only a barely 20 million dollar difference, and there's no real competition unless anyone actually wants to see the Mad Max remake until Tomorrowland. If this movie makes slightly...

    Labyrinth short comic in Boom's FCBD 2015

    I really wasn't following much of what was available yesterday until I actually saw them. Boom had a 10 year anniversary special release as part of its 2015 FCBD offering. The lead story was a 2-3 pager about Labyrinth's Wiseman. Didn't really get to read it yet, but flipped through it. So...

    Your dream TV show music settings.

    1980's synth pop soundtrack by Saban and Levy. Hands down.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Exactly. Peg + Cat and Wild Kratts, both animated by the same company, but because they're stylized, the animation works perfectly. Just, there's something too clean and yet so stiff about this kind of animation. Earlier flash animated episodes were quite terrible, especially since they...

    Netflix and Warner Bros. Animation to produce Green Eggs and Ham TV Show for 2018

    There are...well...other places to watch these things. Cough cough... you didn't hear it from me. I've noticed that Dreamworks is releasing the entire Turbo cartoon from Netflix on DVD, and I'd imagine they'll do the same for their other shows. Dunno about any of the others. Well, Pontofel...

    Oreos Banned from School

    Dude... everything's bad for you. Maybe with the possible exception of certain grains and vegetables. Even most fruits unless they have like a crapload of vitamins aren't technically good either. They have sugars in them, and while everyone loves to vilify sodas, fruit juices aren't so hot...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    I'm afraid the bubble on that one will burst. I mean, CBS is ordering a Supergirl series. While I'm all for a female head up superhero show, I'd rather see an original creation and not one of DC's "take one of our popular super heroes and make them a woman" characters. Personally, I'd rather...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4525 - Grover Does It All

    Goes without saying. That's why it's such an unlikely pairing in a sketch. Not that this thing hasn't been done before, of course. Just seems easier to have characters done by multiple puppeteers. This was a risk vs reward and it paid off greatly. Of course, what makes it all the weirder is...

    Oreos Banned from School

    I have nothing but disdain for these busybody parental groups. However, while some of them are usually well meaning, most just jump on the bandwagon because it pushes the parental responsibility to someone else so they're off the hook. I remember when the frivolous lawsuit about Spongebob...

    The Clarence thread

    That episode was something for the adults. Clarence was a supporting character in this episode and it was really about Chad and Mary dealing with the overbearing mother. I found mentioning the Ex-husband over and over a great touch, and there's some great story potential for that. Something...
