    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    Saw Major Lazer last night and loved it! Really, it's such a shame that Axe Cop, that show, and the ...well... actually entertaining, even though it's a TOTAL Regular Show knockoff Lucas Brothers (who are pretty funny themselves...loved them in 22 Jump Street and Arrested Development) still...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    The frustratingly long wait for the next episode continues, even though Gumball is on the weeknight scheduled (and heavily marketed) and they're like 4 episodes away from a season break anyway. But if anyone wants a sort of spoilery synopsis of the next episode, Gumball is in a horrible mood...

    Pet Peeves

    Know what one of my biggest pet peeves is? Cinemanga. You know, that business practice of taking screencaps from episodes of something and slapping edited dialogue to it from the show and selling it as a legitimate comic book? I can't think of a huger ripoff than that. Original art and...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    I don't think anyone would bother watching a dark version of the show about a kid constantly being arrested. Yeah, maybe if it was on cable and played incredibly straight. Even then, it would hardly be MadMen or Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul or anything like that. Girls with a Taiwanese...

    Terrible Rumor: Muppet*Vision 3D to close in DisneyLand California

    While that's an overreaction, I agree on this. Frozen made a freaking crazy amount of money. To not utilize that would be throwing money away. We all need to realize that. Sucks Muppets got the short end of it, but that's how it goes. Meanwhile (and I said this like 80 times this thread)...

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

    Oh man, that line about the Moral Majority Minority blew my mind. Ugh, the factors that kept "family" stuff as juvenile. And it really comes from all sides as well. True family viewing, at least to me, is a show the family can watch together without someone whining about it on some level. It...

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

    Actually, ToughPigs put the hole overblown "adult" buzzword panic in its place better than some of us could. Of course, the article mentions prude parents already vowing to keep their kids from seeing the completely imaginary "smut" they just automatically panicked about reading the word...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    So Tyler Perry's going to be Baxter Stockman in TMNT2. If he can manage to be perfectly egotistically hammy in a 2k3 Baxter sort of way, I'm all for it. It's about darn time Baxter got into the movies since he was cut out of the first one (and completely forgotten the first 4 times as well)...

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

    There's a difference between adult and "adult." As any really bad adult cartoon can tell you. I have a feeling this will be a more sophisticated, "we're all adults here" type deal in line with better written sitcoms and not the "WE CAN SAY SEX THINGS!!!" juvenileness of a bad Robot Chicken...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I had problems not because I couldn't find books I liked (I did, very much so)... just the fact that school forced you to read certain books and take tests to make sure you remember the minutia. Not that there weren't those that weren't enjoyable on their own, but when you take the fun out of...

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

    Now to sit back and wait for someone who complained about the Muppet Moments bits being too juvenile to complain about this show being too adult.

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    Now that I think of it, the great subtly in that episode was that assigning Eddie a Country was essentially a DXXXed if you do, DXXXed if you don't case. After all, the mother pointed out that wonderful paradox that assigning him China would have singled him out, but not assigning him China...

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

    That really wasn't what that member was saying. It was more in defense of Dinsney Channel's bleh programming. And I'll say this one more thing before I put this to rest. I'm very disappointed that while Disney's preschool programing and animated programming have improved significantly, their...

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

    We're not dissing Disney Channel sitcoms for being G rated. We're dissing them for being uninspired, interchangeable, forgettable, and factory made. There's plenty of classic (or at least older) family sitcoms that are far more enjoyable. Disney Channel's slop is insulting. Again... one of...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    While I don't believe in painting all books over with a single brush, I just don't get why the concept of bringing not that great books (and sometimes even good books, but ruined by the studio) to film because Twilight and Hunger Games were the only real money makers. They even turned Ender's...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    Serious Business was brilliant. Any episode that makes fun of Teen Titans/DC comics mythology is a joy to watch. Much better than the typical "Titans act like morons and discover the magic world of something stupid" plotlines. But Serious Business mocked itself and the show's detractors at...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    You're hatred of Nina Needs to Dump a Load is quite well known throughout the internet, and I can't say I blame you. A) I feel the same way about that skateboarding abomination and B) I saw one once and it was stupid. Not NFL Rush Zone stupid... I mean that's divinely stupid... a bad Power...

    Linda, where are you??

    Shame he was pigeon holed as "Asian Guy" in 1980's movies. If they needed a young, goofy Asian (usually Japanese), he was the go to guy, where as Sab Shimono was the angry, short businessman type. Except of course, when he was Uncle (his best role, IMO). But yeah. The short time he was on...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    I'm bummed the show's ended for the season. I'm sure they might renew this one. It's very good and it really doesn't come off as the "Blackish but with Taiwanese" concept it could have ended up as. That last episode was something. I'm glad they did an episode about someone being afraid of...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I can agree to that, though nothing's deterring me from seeing these movies. Not even the pathetic amount of money I have. It's the obnoxious fickleness that bothers me. And it all tends to follow the same pattern. Most of the fans are generally happy with, or at least okay with the films...
