    The Steven Universe thread

    According to TVTropes, Broadway was supposed to be a female character, but Disney didn't like the idea of a not attractive female character.

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

    No. Because Sanjay and Craig would have made it funny. Or weirdly heartwarming. The last episode of TTG was only funny because of the 1980's TV references. And the fact the TV was played by Dwight Schultz, also known as Howlin' Mad Murdock from the A-Team. Inside joke there. Wait a minute...

    The Clarence thread

    Seems like between Say Uncle, Goldfish Follies and that weird Regular Show half hour special, CN really blew it's chance for some great April Fool's programming. I really liked seeing odd variations on current technology played in a 1930's style cartoon. Gotta love that iCan.

    The Nostalgia Thread

    Me too, sort of. Though some of the time they threw in something where the offensive caricatures were actually so bad they came off as frightening. But man, I am no stranger to the embarrassingly okay in the 1960's Asian stereotypes. Seems they really got it bad in the 60's. That Mighty...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    No change on Sesame Street is ever permanent. Not even Elmo's World. Remember when we were...well..I was at least annoyed by Homunculus Zoe? Now it only exists in the theme song. And not for much longer, praise Toutatis. I honestly don't care how the show looks, but rather how it plays. As...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    A slight chunk of what took so long is that Brad moved on to live action films. The last Mission: Impossible and the upcoming Tomorrowland, specifically. Glad to see him return to Pixar. I completely agree that out of all the movies, Incredibles solidly deserved a sequel over the other Pixar...

    The Steven Universe thread

    If there's one thing I find amazing about this show it's that Rose Quartz isn't exactly thin, yet she's constantly presented as a Goddess. Along with Amethyst, I really think we came a long way from Gargoyles where they had to turn one of the characters into a dude because they wouldn't accept...

    The Nostalgia Thread

    BAH! I remember when there was no Cartoon Network and you could watch all the old cartoons on syndication. And often times, they were the bizarrely unedited versions of them. Well, Looney Tunes and the like. Blackface gags and all. Not that I'm saying "where are my racist things that are...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Gotta admire Brad taking his time for this. It's a frustratingly long wait, but we're sure as heck not going to get something rushed out of this. Still think Frozone deserves his own spinoff movie.

    When you need to rant...

    The Reps have wanted to put ANYONE who's essentially the same exact face and voice of Neo-Con politics into the White House. Essentially the same Bush type politics of giving Tax handouts to their wealthy corporate masters and jumping to war, bullying everyone to be on their side so the country...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Here's the news we've really been waiting for. Brad Bird is now writing the sequel to The Incredibles and Samuel L Jackson says he's totally on board to reprise his role as Frozone.

    When you need to rant...

    The Dems essentially have no one other than Hillary. The Reps, just like the last election have everyone possible, and they're all far right. Seriously, I can not describe how disgusting I find the right since the last decade, but every one of their candidates manages to support the very same...

    As long as there's no big wire fence around a vacant lot that says "coming soon: New Condos" that has been around for 10 years. You know, like a real street.

    The Time to Play segments are proof that terrible changes can be changed back. NO ONE was happy with that piece of garbage.

    When you need to rant...

    The same story about how the Republicans are being the terrible spoiled brat bullies they are and the Democrats being feckless wimps about the whole thing. Essentially everything that's been going on since the Clinton Years.

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

    I never really understood why they had to reintroduce Kermit so slowly. Well, other than the fact it was obvious Steve wasn't really comfortable as Kermit for a little while. There were bits in MT where he pretty much got him (only to lose him again in the following movie). But I don't think...

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

    MT is a good example of what worked and what didn't. Trying to copy TMS with different characters was the thing that didn't work. Heck, trying to copy Arsenio Hall (years after he was cancelled) didn't work. The interview stuff felt completely awkward and out of place. What did work was when...

    God is not Dead!

    To be quite honest, I have a problem with all ultra-conservative, hyper-orthodox religions. The whole "everything that is written down is to be taken to a literal extreme" thing is exactly what's wrong with religion. It's not that there aren't more liberal, progressive Muslims that are looking...
