I don't mean an exact copy or homage to MTM. I mean something in the same grounded in reality, emotional subtext. Something where they do indeed make jokes, do funny stuff, have fantastic characters doing slightly mundane things the right way this time, MFS! TM and MMW really homaged the style...

I think it's too easy to blame just Hollywood. If anything equal blame, maybe more than that falls on the audience. You can't complain that Arrested Development got cancelled if you didn't watch it. And you certainly can't complain about sequels, remakes, or whatever if you do see them. To...

I'd love to have seen the That Girl movie. It was animated by Japanese firm Toei. You know what that means. Anime Marlo Thomas-chan! As someone who's seen it, I can safely say it wasn't a great Looney Tunes special (though I can't lie... it was better than some of the DePatie Freling...

As I said in another thread, Dreamworks needs to stop acting like a movie completely flops when it does decent enough business overseas. Unless they have an insane marketing budget, all their films made money. They haven't had a single money loser in the bunch. They only care about...

Here's the thing. There aren't any new ideas. None. They don't exist. You're either going to end up with a ripoff or a reboot because there are only so many stories, settings, and character tropes out there. Any missmatched couple series will always be compared to Odd Couple, any group of...

Crap!! That was a typo. I meant 300 dollars internationally. Can't believe I screwed that one up. But yeah. 300 Million international on a 130 budget isn't by all means bad. Not great, but not the huge money losing catastrophe they're thinking it is. Unless someone's screwing up...

I know that they have a very fleeting demographic and all, but that one was ridiculous. But not as bad as the once a season guessing game. Sometimes twice a season, like that lame birdwatching episode where Bert appeared for 2 minutes at the beginning and 30 seconds at the end airing the same...

Here's the thing. While I totally feel that Spongebob takes up waaaaay too much of Nick's schedule, they've really been railing it to their animated shows since the last decade. And for the exact reason you think. TMNT is thankfully around mainly due to toy sales. I was very very worried...

Actually, know what? I'd like to see better variety of episodes the next season. Not so much on the educational subject matter, but it always feels like they go to the same pool of episode concepts. Random Fairy Tale character pops in and needs help, celebration of the letter or number of the...

The problem with a Muppet movie is that there's so much they can do with the characters, and narrowing down that signature script that's not a redo of an earlier movie. Well... a total redo MTM was essentially an alternate universe TMM with the spin of splitting up instead of building up, and...

Think very carefully... Nickelodeon's Kid's choice Awards was won by a Nickelodeon show. Not saying that there's a HUGE level of conspiracy there, but rather I don't think CN fans would bother treking over to Nick's site to keep voting for CN shows. If anything, if TMNT was nominated, that...

Inspector Gadget is one of my top favorite cartoons of all time. I've been pretty disappointed that Gadget's been screwed out of a decent comeback while other 80's series are on their like second or third comeback. Gadget and the Gadgetinis never made it out of Europe because of Disney's...

The Dumb and Dumber cartoon wasn't so much bad as pointless. Then again, I never cared much for that movie either. The Mask made better use of the source material (still toned way the heck down) than the movies. The first film was great and all, but they really screwed the heck up on the...

Why does everyone need Cheapest Movie so badly? I mean, sure, if Frank Oz were on board and could manage to give it the vision Jim and Jerry Juhl had. But it really seems that project was never finished for a reason. Even if the film was mostly Gonzo filming the movie, showing the actual...

Those shows were for the wrong demographic anyway. I don't think anyone under the age of 20 could have fully appreciated Megas XLR, let alone the 8-10 crowd. But Black Dynamite switched production from Titmouse to Cartoon Network original (with CN Studios logo at the end to boot, just like...

It's weird how we've actually got less spinoffs of movies lately. And for a short period, we were getting them in the form of adult cartoons. And of movies that were made years before. Like the meh Spaceballs cartoon, with it's very stiff Flash animation and decidedly not Mel Brooks style...

I wonder. What if they just made the opening street stories a little longer? I've seen ones this season that barely make it to the 10 minute mark. And then there are some that feel like they're rushed and wind up wasting their own potential. Like the Grouch Thrift Shop episode. Feels like...

I'm mixed about the idea. I really like what those guys did with the Muppets, despite the naysayers and Geewunners who didn't think they captured the characters (something that hasn't been done since most of everyone involved originally is gone). I would agree on a trilogy as well, but I think...

I don't know if that could be the problem. I'm sure DC took that series into account. I'm wondering more on the whole Gotham, DC film series, Arrow and Flash type deals. And of course, the Wonder Woman needs to be the star, even when it's not really her deal. Plus the whole ambiguous Cyborg...

I'm wondering who exactly they're going to have in this series and if there's any weird Bat-Embargos on any of the characters. That's always a mixed bag, since it forces the show runners to put in obscure characters that wouldn't get exposure otherwise, but at the risk of more iconic, popular...
