    Sesame Street Special "The Cookie Thief"

    I'm disappointed the collection didn't include "Fig Newton descending a Staircase" by Marcel DuChomp

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Something tells me these will be minimates. Which are fine, I'm not the hugest fan of them, but it's something and I'm excited for them. Otherwise, all I can see are very expensive statues or something. Maybe a small series of A-list Kermit, Piggy, and Animal type things that cost twice as...

    Disney Princesses

    Plus, frankly, the second one's better anyway. Puss in Boots and all that. Well, I meant theatrically. There are a lot of great female characters in Disney TV shows. Rebecca Cunningham, Gosalyn Mallard (one of my personal favorites, but I have a Darkwing Duck bias), Spinelli and Gretchen on...

    Getting episodes directly from Sesame Workshop

    I'd see them hiring unpaid interns. Budget, again. It would be great for them to call for volunteers to help them sift through episodes, but can they really trust people like that to not copy and steal things from them? So that's also a double edged sword. Honestly, I don't think any company...

    Disney Princesses

    Having attractive people voice "ugly" characters to spread the message that beauty is skin deep... ehhh... I'll just take the passive aggressive stabs at Disney. No. A really fat one. Think of the deconstruction. Princess, no thanks to fairy tales and movies, not even just Disney ones...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    That "Hit the Pinata" song from Clarence. Doesn't help that it's being used for the DVD commercial. And it's freaking catchy. I wonder if it's a reference to something. Makes me wish CN would release some of these in-show songs somehow.

    Getting episodes directly from Sesame Workshop

    Exactly. Or SW could be total tools and just say "you're over the age of our demographic, and unless you have kids, we don't need to acknowledge you." And also pull down everything ever posted on YT by fans with old tapes. Sure, I'm disappointed they took down all the full episodes posted at...

    Disney Princesses

    You know who was a string female character without having to be a princess? Lilo. Lilo and Stitch was one of Disney's biggest films and it had cross gender appeal without even having to be a fairy Tale. There were no Lilo fashion dolls, Lilo is never depicted drinking tea in pretty dresses...

    Sesame Street Special "The Cookie Thief"

    You're right. Even a bug promoting another show would be unacceptable. They had smaller, non-intrusive ones that promoted the PBS website games on Cyberchase, but it was well into the live action segment then and it was like, who cares? But why the heck would you put a promo saying what show...

    Eleven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    11 years since Disney has owned the Muppets. Or as I like to call it, less time that it took for JHC to not complete and release Power of the Dark Crystal. Let's never forget that. Disney managed to get out two movies. Only movie Henson was able to get out was Alexander and the Very Bad Day...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Fifty Shades for some reason has a trilogy of books. I'd liken it more to Divergent for crappy ripoff stories that get too much recognition. Planes was more along the lines of cheap DTV projects to sell a line of toys that somehow got theatrical screenings. I wouldn't doubt the shifting of...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4519 - Chaos at Hooper's Store

    This one was just chaotic enough to be complete Muppety Goodness. The kids running around certainly made this one more enjoyable than it could have been. Especially since there's just been an abundance of random fairy tale/nursery rhyme characters need Sesame Street Characters to solve their...

    Getting episodes directly from Sesame Workshop

    Or they could have just went the cheap British TV route and junked all the tapes to reuse them. I'm thankful they even have an archive. And frankly it is going to be mountainous with the amount of footage they have. Sure, it would be great if SW could put every episode ever for availability...

    Sesame Street Special "The Cookie Thief"

    You know, if it's one thing that annoyed the heck out of me, and this is ALL on PBS, it's those stupid in show promos of the show we're watching right now! And the timing of them popping up was abysmal. At one point, they had a Cookie Monster the same exact size as the one onscreen dancing...

    Disney Princesses

    Actually Kida was technically a Princess. Wasn't she the daughter of the ruler of Atlantis (haven't seen it in forever)? She's every bit as much a Princess as Pocahontas, if that's the case. She's just not added because Disney wants to give the cold shoulder to Atlantis. Honestly, they should...

    SNL 40 Year Reunion

    I knew it was her. I kinda forgot what she looked like, but to appear Californian, she used almost her exact Miss Information voice from Histeria! I'm not the hugest fan of him, however no matter how much of a complete tool he acts like, he isn't insanely popular without reason. With all his...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Ah. Well, that's indeed a better explanation. I never got into the show myself, but gauged the really bad reaction from some who really hated that ending. Anyway, yeah. The last episode of 2.5 is called "Of Course He's Dead" and from what I read it's all about secrets about Charlie coming to...
