    Disney Developing A Live Action Winnie The Pooh Movie

    The animated Winnie the Pooh movie hurt them bad. Poor timing was the problem. While an alternative for younger audiences to the darker and more grown up Harry Potter franchise seems like a great idea, Disney did so much damage to the WTP franchise in years before that. In other words, due to...

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

    Streaming sites have come to the rescue for shows that networks refuse to touch. Inspector Gadget's new cartoon finds a home there, rather than no export to us like the last show. I'd say Nick and CN screwed Dreamworks out of their animated movie based programming (MVA was abruptly canned...

    Why does Sesame rely so much on Fairy Tale characters lately?

    There's a difference between recycling scripts over the course of several years, or a decade, and then there's extremely similar/exactly the same episodes in the same season. Sometimes even right after each other. Sesame Street has indeed been on long enough and they can recycle stories from...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    Apparently, rotten cartoon series Brickleberry's been cancelled. I've never seen it, nor do I have the desire to, but it's pretty much one of the most hated cartoons out there. From those who trashed it, it seems it was only on because Comedy Central loooooves Daniel Tosh. Totally can...

    We Need Another Movie

    Debatable as it is if they should have another movie or not (which most fans can agree they want another), there's no doubt the Muppets should be keeping up on Youtube. Click bait vs. 10 bucks a head (or more) movie, click bait's gonna win every time. It's cheaper to produce and easier to get...

    Why does Sesame rely so much on Fairy Tale characters lately?

    Again, already said that and had the feeling. They can have other one shot characters on the show that aren't fairy tale based. Then again, some times those characters have to be hyperactive/annoying/too dumb to live as well (15 and that Penguin this year for example). But most episodes...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Still love the irony that her wearing a body suit underneath made it actually worse somehow. That said, at the risk of being that guy, anytime there's an update on April first, I gloss over it. It's usually the same gags anyway. Don't want to ruin anyone's fun by any means, and not trying...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4522 - Jack B. Nimble Can’t Sit Down

    You gotta admit. If those were indeed references, at least Sesame Street didn't just plunk down an in name only shallow parody this time. I remember being very disappointed in Breakfast Club having nothing to do with anything in the film. What was the point then?

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4522 - Jack B. Nimble Can’t Sit Down

    Can't help that they kept referencing things to the show that someone who doesn't watch the show, like me, missed out on. Sketch was still funny, though. Anyway... Doo doo doodoodoodoo doo doo Wander Over Sesame Street... Jack McBrayer really sold this episode and saved it from yet another...

    Funko to release Sesame Street toys

    From the look of the boxes, the Sesame Street line is its own subline as well. Which is strange. You see, there are several sublines where every line fits in. Movies, animation, Gaming, Disney, and Television (which features animated characters before the animation subbrand). Look at how...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    I'm sure we can all agree that was a weak reference to Justin Timberlake's sort of comedy, sort of not song "I'm Bringing Sexy back." With all the care and detail of quoting other movie lines in earlier Dreamworks movies.

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    I'm sure given enough time, the show would have came into its own. Some shows have very weak first seasons anyway, and they don't hit their stride until sometime around the second. Of course, there are shows that start out too strong and manage to get weaker the longer they're on too. Not to...

    Why does Sesame rely so much on Fairy Tale characters lately?

    I feel that's a part of the problem, like I said. I'm sure in the writing stage they're goaded to use as few characters as possible for budget reasons. And of course the obligatory "reuse every puppet until we feel we've got our money's worth." It feels like it goes beyond that. Like writing...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    Don't think I caught that one. If I did, I probably forgot most of it. If it was on another network, preferably cable, it probably would have got a couple more seasons. Or at least a full one. Ditto Napoleon Dynamite. The series had potential, but the movie was years past it. If it grew to...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    I'll agree that The Goode Family hit its stride just before it got the axe. If those earlier episodes found their voice, it would be different. I think the show's real problem was the transition of long lasting, well established characters from KOTH to new characters that were supposed to be...

    Why does Sesame rely so much on Fairy Tale characters lately?

    I kinda wanted to title this "Dang, Sesame Street! Why you got to be so Fairy Tale all the Time?" Anyway, am I the only one that thinks that with all the go to character Sesame Street has that they overly rely on special guest fairy tale characters to teach certain concepts (this season...

    Which Muppets that weren't in Muppets Most Wanted did you want to see in that film?

    Oh. How did I not know that? It's really a shame since Clueless Morgan was a great character and did stupid much better than Andy and Randy. I don't know exactly where he'd fit in with the Muppets past MTI and the UK only skits in MT, though. Polly's alright, Mad Monty's fine, but Clueless...
