    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Come to think of it, does anyone besides the humans, Ernie and Bert, Oscar, and Big Bird actually live directly on the street? We've seen Snuffy's cave, the Bear family house (well off into the "woods" of New York), the interiors of wherever the heck Cookie, Elmo, and Grover live. I love that...

    The Letter People

    You know, the earlier ones seem to have a more amateurish feel to them. Overall, of course, not just the puppets. The humor isn't well developed, it felt like what most off brand Sesame Street type shows come off as. But there's a certain point where the show becomes its own. The one...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    It's probably only coming out due to Adam Sandler having too much producing power. Which is why the second Mixels reaction gif is there.

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Maybe I didn't see all the pictures before, but I swore that someone said Oscar's going to live in a dumpster/bin. Seems he's in his old "iconic but no one actually uses them anymore" metal can. The logic question I'd have is, how the heck is Big Bird going to get any privacy without the...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    ...they're freaking making a Joe Dirt 2. A movie no one liked the first time. yeah... EDIT: NO! One Mixels reaction gif is not enough.

    When you need to rant...

    Which was their freaking plan. Look at the bullcrap over the peaceful resolution that every other country but ours and a certain other okayed about Iran. The same exact party that was triggerhappy as heck over Iraq is now worried how not blowing Iran up fast enough is going to ruin the world...

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

    By no means do I dislike the theatrical quality of these laugh trackless sitcoms. Are there a lot of them? Sure. I don't think adding canned chuckles would improve them. The pauses are an essential part of humor, and fake guffaws are essentially lull destruction. My beef is with the ones...

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    I'm far more annoyed that the new Transformers cartoon that got that awful timeslot on CN (so we can have yet another daily Teen Titans Go Marathon) than two reruns on another, harder to get channel. My beef lies with the whole DCF rebrand. It doesn't make the tiniest of sense. How are the...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Season_46_(2015) Is all the info anyone has. Just a few guest stars are listed. That's about it. No wonder on any of the new segments or if AFFS has finally been mothballed. I doubt it, but it would be nice to see that segment disappear. But, like I said before, it's...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    I do indeed like MFS, but feel that it could have been so much better had it not been for all the bull that went down with it. Troubled production throughout. But it is a nice character piece for Gonzo, and the new characters really had their time to shine in that film.

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    Funny thing about the original reason I created this thread. Trying something new, I picked up a box of Cap'n Crunch's Donut Crunch. On the back, it had the requisite kiddy Donut Facts on the back of the box. And sure enough, no kidding, one of them said "Donut was originally spelled ...

    Questions about anything

    This would be the same studio that would also go on to make a bunch of terrible ripoffs of their own Scooby-Doo. So totally freaking yes. Actually, Funky Phantom's not half bad. At least it has slapstick between the dog and ghost cat. Something rare in the A.C.T. policed 1970's.

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

    And if you watch The McCarthy's or the New Odd Couple, you can kinda see why. One liner, laugh, one liner, laugh, one liner, laugh... They're terrible.

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Still wondering about any format changes, rather than the rebuilt street set. Anyone else? That's essentially how Moishe Oofnik lived. Betchya they got the idea from that. It's not like they don't sell metal trash cans anymore, but I'mn hardpressed to fins anyone who actually buys/uses them.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    It seems that way, unless had they an actual Rocky and Bullwinkle fanclub for kids to buy in membership to. I'm not sure they did or not, not one ever said there was. Somehow it sounds like they wanted kids to form their own little, unofficial clubs and from there, kids would wind up buying as...

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

    The term "sitcom format" is all but meaningless, as it's so loosely defined, I guess you could call the original series a sitcom too. Even though it was more of a variety show/sitcom format. I think they could get it done in a 30 Rock-ish situation, only showing more of the actual skits. If...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Dreamworks had off doing movies from time to time before Netflix. I do agree that's part of the equation, but so isn't the fact their recent string of films either suffered poor timing or concepts that were too off the wall for a mainstream audience. Think about it. You had the one where...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Hopefully it does well enough domestically and internationally that Dreamworks won't get all whiny about how it's doing. It's only been out three weeks, so that's good. Doesn't seem like there's too much of a Family Movie competition for it. All the Home Toys seem to have been flying off the...

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

    I have to admit, removing my extreme distaste for the Brady Bunch, I think Rocky and Bullwinkle (minus that freaking female audience surrogate Mary Sue character) did the concept a little better (at least the self deprecating humor was always present in the cartoons), but managed to make a...
