    Uncle Grandpa

    There's something about the show which I choose to take as a wink and a nod. Like the episode was a parody of itself or something. It felt like the resolution should have been that it was all a dream or so far in the future that UG's mind was screwed up or something. Maybe there was a couple...

    Commercial rant time...

    On the completely annoying, make it stop, stop showing these during every commercial break variety, there are two commercials I'm freaking sick of having to sit through. This one's enforced by the cable provider. An obnoxious commercial for Grape Juice where talking grapes (only via a voice...

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

    The anticipated Young Justice crossover episode finally aired. I enjoyed it, but can't help feel the hype surrounding it made it out to be a different episode than it turned out. I was expecting more of the YJ crew to just completely tear the Titans apart until the Titans dragged them to their...

    The Steven Universe thread

    Seems to me there's something about Amethyst and Greg in this episode that suggests that Rose wasn't exactly the first gem he fell for. At the very least, it suggests that Amethyst could very well have introduced Rose to him. Steven's speech was perfect lampshade hanging on the fact they're...

    Uncle Grandpa

    ...well, that was special, I guess. I'm going to preserve me love of the show by saying that episode was self parody and exaggerated. The characters were really off model, and UG was just... completely stupid. And somehow, the ending seemed like a cop-out. Like it should have been a dream or...

    The Official "I'm looking for/trying to remember a sketch" thread

    I mentioned this one a while back, like years ago. Wonder if anyone can help me remember this one. It wasn't so much a segment, I think, as one of the street stories where one of the human cast members read a story they made up to kids or one of the Muppets to teach them a lesson about...

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

    Ah. I see. You can see where I can get the confusion from as I only see action figures above the price of 15, mostly in the 25+ ranger per figure. 12.50 each isn't bad, but it's still having to buy two at once. Some can afford that easily, some are just going to have to sit this one out...

    Eric Jacobson performs Oscar on Sprout's Sunny Side Up Show

    I hope Zoe gets a recast soon too. Nice to see we'll still have Prairie, but she's not as involved in the show as Zoe is. Then again, Zoe seems very personal to Fran, so anything goes. Like I said before, Zoe and Elmo are a great pair. Abby and Elmo have no tension.

    Commercial rant time...

    I got to admit, while I kinda dig Toyota's Presidential bobblehead thing for at least being clever, President's day commercials are just poor. I hate the Christmas commercials for Lexus and stuff for celebrating the worst of the excesses of the commercialism of the season. I mean, yeah, nice...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    While I wasn't going to bother, I wound up catching some of it and was unimpressed. The Felix was a poor man's Niles Crane. I mean, honestly, David Hyde Pierce would have been great in that role, but I only see him playing him in a play revival on Broadway. And Mathew Perry was essentially...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    Details about Powerpuff Girls' revival have been released already, coming sometime in the 2015-2016 season, the news of Danger Mouse just popped up. The US will be able to enjoy the new Danger Mouse series as a Netflix exclusive coming in 2016. Stephen Fry is tagged to play Colonel K! Also a...

    When you need to rant...

    Actually, on the subject of children's animation networks screwing merchandise out of TV shows, I have a HUGE freaking bone to pick. How the frig come Fanboy and Chum Chum was more deserving of a toyline than El Tigre? I mean, El Tigre didn't really catch on, but neither did FB&CC. There was...

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

    Unless you're missing Fozzie or Kermit, I doubt there's going to be any major surprise characters you may have missed. That's my one problem with a new Muppet Action figure line. You know we're not going to get anyone like Sal Manila, Clueless Morgan, or anyone we were so frustratingly close...

    The Big Bang Theory: Howard's Mom Died…

    I'm the opposite. Sheldon was the reason I bothered watching. But on the other hand, Sheldon has undergone a a massive dose of character development. He genuinely cares for others now, and he's more accepting of his relationship with Amy that got a nice kick of depth. While a show that's...

    The most unbelievably awesome news ever... Ducktales

    And hopefully they'll know that there are Scrooge comic purists that felt the same way. I remember reading one completely misguided letter in an old Ducktales comic (published when the show came out) condemning how they dare gave Scrooge McDuck a Scottish accent instead of the incoherent ducky...

    The "Muppets on Robot Chicken" Thread

    I don't mind the offensiveness. It's the lazy standbys that bug me. Like they add extra "adult" jokes into scenes that don't need them. That's not so much offensive as gratuitous. Thankfully most Muppet segments are more clever with that usage. While "killing classic kid's characters" is...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    Oh my glob! They had an episode crafted around the most infamous video game of all time that doesn't have the words "Custer's" or "Revenge" in the title! Man. Remember back then how anticipated a game could be and it would suck the second you played it? And like, they cost 50 bucks? That...

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

    It's times like this I'm glad we never got that horrid "The Farm" spinoff. Parks and Recs was the spinoff of The Office, just more of a spiritual successor than a direct spinoff. And while that did hamper them that season, trying to ape the characters and situations from the other show, they...

    Eric Jacobson performs Oscar on Sprout's Sunny Side Up Show

    If you listen very very carefully, you can just make out hints of Eric's voice quality. Hints of his early performances of Bert can be picked up. Other than that, it's almost flawless.

    The most unbelievably awesome news ever... Ducktales

    Remember when we were all excited that WayForward had that deal to remake the Ducktales video game and got back as much of the surviving cast as possible? This is freaking better! Disney is going to make A FREAKING NEW DUCKTALES SERIES!!!!!! A FREAKING NEW DUCKTALES SERIES!!!! I... I can't...
