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

    I have to admit, I was never a big fan of the original series, though a certain member became Batman Beyond, Deadpool, and Bumblebee...so there's that. But I will agree that GMW actually manages a more subtle style that the original series had rather than "wacky misadventures of kids who give...

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

    Disney's tweencoms (and for that matter, Nickelodeon's) are absolutely disposable with interchangeable kids and settings. One's called "I didn't Do it" for Glob's sake. That title is essentially a Mea Culpa that they just don't give a frig. And especially now. I hate to say it but even with...

    The Steven Universe thread

    To prove how much rewatch value this show has, "Keep Beach City Weird" was just on again and Ronaldo shouted out his conspiracy of a group of "polymorphic sentient rocks" that plan on "hollowing out the Earth" as part of the Diamond Authority... Then came the reveal about the "Kindergarten"...

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    Hoping that with the new season and new theme song comes a new closing theme. I actually kinda dug the chalk drawing motif of the end theme. The hip hop styling of the theme song works better as an instrumental.

    Pet Peeves

    I'd say that the main thing is gay just flows off the tongue better than "homosexual," which sounds like simultaneously spitting, slurping, and choking. Not only that, but the term is so incredibly condescending in tone (and it's often used that way) that it sounds way more like a slur than...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Some changes are more subtle when you watch them play out. I'll agree some of these are a little sudden. Like "Around the Corner" sudden. There were hints of a garden there for the last few seasons, though. Looks like it expanded a little more. But as I said, while it is important to talk...

    Yeah. I cannot hear the word "swell" and not think of the "Hello, my name is Drew Pickles" videos.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Horror is an unstoppable genre. Even throwaways with low budgets somehow get a following. At least with bad ones attracting an ironic crowd. But it's disheartening when a movie's opening weekend isn't huge and it's called a bomb or a flop outright. It somehow manages to drive home the...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    I like the animation, just not the artwork. Rick and Morty manages to give that rough, doodle-y look while looking professional. The animation makes the visuals of China, Il palatable, but the muted colors and poor artist's notebook marginal doodles look put it all to waste. And total...

    This Cracked Article manages to mention two points about movie "success" measuring I can't stand. They're numbers 4 and 2, respectively.

    Funko to release Sesame Street toys

    Guess what? They're now listed on Funko's official Website . Won't be long now.

    Linda, where are you??

    No, seriously... anyone else proud that Sesame Street had Gennde Watanabe on in his only not racist 1980's role? It's like him and Sab Shimono were the only two Japanese actors in the US at that time. And Gennde was there so briefly, it felt like a weird dream. It's so..strange to see him...

    JHC Rebooting Gumby

    UGH! A day and a half too late for that joke. And that one... Wait wait I got this... Hey wait. I thought Gumby was a Classic Media thing, like Dreamworks owns him now.

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

    There are better, kid friendlier stars than those who star in the interchangeable Disney line up. I'd say if they want to go full big freaking budget guest, get as many of the Avengers stars as possible in character (ala the Star Wars episode). Which would make it all the more annoying to...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    I admit I'm fifty fifty for that reason exactly. I technically shouldn't be watching the show outside of online clips. And the kids watching the show will either be just old enough to realize something's different or just starting to watch the show, so everything's new to them. The show...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    Taking the lead from Adult Swim and waiting 2 years per season, I see. Sucks it's on FXX, but I think I actually got it for realz this time. Gotta check out Major Lazer too. It looks quite good. Funny thing, though... I never hear anyone talk about Stone Quackers. Apparently, it's the same...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Unfriended at least manages to have a semi-relevant concept. Supposedly, it's better than it looks, but I'm no horror fan. Paul Blart may only be doing well because of the unstoppable barrage of advertisements. I just don't think PB2 has much of a shelf life beyond that. Among other things...

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

    UGH! Please no freaking Disney Channel "stars." Disney's other programs and movies are kinda a given due to corporate synergy and all, but none of the interchangeable tweenybopper stars deserve anything but appearing in their own mediocre... nay...less than mediocre identical shows.
