    The Clarence thread

    Between that and the Red Rider's Academy episode, this show has some pretty subversive messages about public education. And that's wonderful.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I really hope it makes the same or just a bit more. I get the feeling that if this doesn't make the insane as heck amount of money the last one made, Disney won't take it too well. I'd blame an overly jaded audience for that. But considering last year's biggest movie made just frustratingly...

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

    Indeed. But my issue is this. The Muppet Show had a Vaudeville format, sure. But the drive behind that was it was a 1970's variety show. Coming out just when the format was slowly dying, I might add. On the one hand, I don't think they could get the exact format to work today, but on the...

    God is not Dead!

    I hate the fact that American Christians have no idea what real persecution is. It ranges from the totally made up War on Christmas stuff loudmouth paid opinionheads like to drag out annually, to "we're being persecuted by losing our right to persecute others." In other words, bullcrap and...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    WOW! Gotta hand it to Fast and Furious 7. It opened huge! Bigger than even the biggest movie last year, and on the first weekend in April! Can't say I'm a huge fan of these movies, but that's a devoted fanbase. I'm sure fans paying their respects to the late Paul Walker were a factor, but...

    The Steven Universe thread

    This episode was a Steven Universe episode and produced by the SU crew... but they were able to mimic the format of an Uncle Grandpa episode, managing to actually make fun of that series as well. A standard UG episode will be made up of a few littler cartoons. The main story cartoon, the...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    I get that Sesame Street has these initiatives and they want to get the most mileage out of them by making as many of them street stories. he major and obvious downside is that it results in repetitive episodes that aren't spread out well in the show's schedule. Case in point, this week saw 3...

    Harvey Beaks: New Nick series

    Anyone else catch this yet? A new series by C.H. Greenblat, creator of Chowder, but with a distinctly different tone. So far, I'm quite impressed. It manages to keep similar humor to Chowder, but much, much softer and grounded. Not so much realistic, but not the rapid fire, fourth wall...

    Sanjay an Craig: New Nick series

    I was going to actually start a Harvey Beaks thread, but didn't get around to it yet. But I'm loving that sweet new series as well. While someone was over and we were talking through it, I caught most of the new S&C episode. Anyone else dig how the Nice Horse raver carried over to both...

    The Future of Constantine

    Something like that would be great. I'd love to see Constantine kept around as a stock villain to some extent. He shouldn't completely go away now that the movie's over. I'd at least love to see a series of YT videos featuring him.

    Disney Developing A Live Action Winnie The Pooh Movie

    Puppet Winnie the Pooh (even though we already had one of thems) seems like a solid idea, mainly because Pooh and co are plush toys and all. I honestly see there's merit in a live action Pooh film. Just not with this stupid concept.

    Sanjay an Craig: New Nick series

    After freaking months of waiting, we're finally getting a new episode tonight. For a show that's supposedly highly rated, Nick really doesn't seem to be treating it with much love. Probably because it isn't one of their awful live action TV shows that popping up every month. Why is Nicky...

    God is not Dead!

    And it's just one crazy family that refuses to disband, get a freaking life, or have any clarity or self awareness of any kind. They have such disgustingly insane beliefs that they think everyone is going to fire and brimstone and feel they need to warn the rest of the world about it. That...

    The Steven Universe thread

    It's almost a shame that CN essentially blew the element of surprise by announcing the thing months in advance. Would have been the better April Fool's prank they intended had they kept it under wraps. I love it was actually an episode of Steven Universe instead of UG. Also loved how UG...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4523 - Upside-Down Nursery Rhyme

    This was more entertaining than it needed to be and sounded. And I can only thank Tina Fey for that. While I do like the idea that they've been teaching kids how to behave, I'm totally freaking sick of this initiative. ESPECIALLY the use of fairy tale characters. But hey. At least here they...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Lego is trying to really build up an entertainment empire. Not that it hasn't had a lot of specials and DTV projects before. There's like 4 Lego films in development. A Ninjago one, the obvious sequel to the first, a Batman film directly connected to those movies instead of the DTV projects...

    Disney Developing A Live Action Winnie The Pooh Movie

    This sounds like if you changed the characters to something a little more generic, it could be rife for potential to be some dark humor, kind of like..... WAIT A FREAKING MINUTE!!! They're trying to make Ted out of Winnie the Pooh!!!

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    No. Not even that high bar. Something a really untalented college kid could fart out. Family Guy at least started out as something, and American Dad became something. Brickleberry was just "let's give Daniel Tosh even more money." Yeah, I didn't actually see it, but I haven't heard anything...

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

    Not all YA novels. Just frustratingly that one. Vampire Academy opened a pathetic 7 mil. And thank goodness for that. We don't need any more tweenage fangirls ruining vampires for everyone. That's so over.

    When you need to rant...

    Not a fan of pancakes with anything outside of that maple flavored, not real syrup that most people buy because the real stuff is howlingly expensive. In other words, frosting is too freaking sweet, even for me. But it does sort of suck they removed it. Sounds like it's more cost based...
