    SNL 40 Year Reunion

    Caught only the last hour as it was opposite Fox's Sunday programming. Sure, I could have waited for The Simpsons and Family Guy, but Bob's Burgers is always a must, as is Brooklyn 99. I flipped around during commercials, though. Loved seeing Wayne's World and news that Generalissimo...

    Sesame Street Special "The Cookie Thief"

    They seem to do a better job of it when Cookie Monster's the subject because it's so natural to the character. I'd say it was subtle enough here to even wonder if that was an intended part of the special or just a coincidence. They didn't repeat all the techniques to calm down like they...

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

    On a technicality, it hasn't, but I doubt there's much hope to hold out. ABC waits until May, like the article about The Middle said.

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

    Cuz the producers are idiots that didn't learn their lesson from The Neighbors? Totally should have renewed Galavant as an online exclusive series, but you know that won't happen. Back to Two and a Half Men, though. While I've pretty much stopped watching the series and have unfortunately...

    The Sonic Boom Thread

    The crowning joke was Knuckles not trusting Sonic to flip a coin, giving it to Tails and calling heads. Anyone else getting the feeling that Sonic doesn't so much see Eggman as a villain so much as a depressingly crazy individual who would be the biggest danger to himself, and that's why they...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Couple things. There is by no means anything wrong with Spongebob's CGI sequence being short. Especially if you paid to see it in 3-D, where the 2-D animation looked marvelous. Absolutely gorgeous. There's a sequence where Sandy went insane and it has very Ren and Stimpy-esque animation in...

    Sesame Street Special "The Cookie Thief"

    Something tells me it was just part of the package presentation of this special. I bet it gets a proper opening on DVD. Very good, if a little repetitive. Rachel Dratch stole the show as the guard at the museum. There was a real good balance between the plotline and those great Grover...

    Could TMS Be Considered a Sitcom

    I'd say it barely would qualify as a work-com if you take in the behind the scenes plotlines. The ones that aren't fawning all over the guest stars and have moments of character development, anyway. I'd say, towards the end, MT could very well qualify, since they managed to squeeze as much...

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

    Uh... yeah. Worst part is, I remember my mother buying an episode guide decades ago. I'd ask her for it, but it's just so much easier to do this... Yeah. That sounded familiar now that I think about it. MeTV's airings are all over the map with huge gaps and shuffled episodes. You know...

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

    The logic behind why they went to jail is essentially the only thing that really bothers me. I've seen so many weak endings when it comes to sitcoms. Sure, there's the Newhart ending and stuff like that. Even lesser known sitcoms like 3rd Rock where they abruptly were called home...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    That's probably slightly more accurate than what I posted. That's the dangers of a family friendly website. Can't even give a minor cussword. The Spongebob movie is doing nicely. Hopefully some regional vacation days help prop those numbers up. Still...ugh. You'd think those housewives...

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

    I doubt that's going to be the case. All I can see is them dumping Axel and keeping the others on call. The ratings are too good for ABC to give the show up without a fight. Remember. Damian Wayans Jr. was going to be in New Girl when they thought Happy Endings was going to get cancelled. It...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    &^%$! That shouldn't come as a surprise. But who would have thought there were that many hormonal yet prudish housewives clamoring to see a terrible off-porn? It made freaking Guardians/American Sniper money. Nice that Kingsman manged to eke out a small win, and Spongebob has passed...

    Cookie Monster special in the works

    I agree, but think it's a real shame we haven't had a prime time Sesame Street special since Elmo's Christmas Countdown. They didn't even air the 40th anniversary opening episode at night like they were supposed to. At least in my market.

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

    Except it wasn't by all means funny. Apparently logic was also chucked out because even though they were harassing the guy, they had taped evidence of a crime happening. That's help in my book.

    The New New Quote Thread

    "I HATE THE MEDIA!!!"- Nappa, just before blowing up a bunch of reporters. (Trying not to laugh out loud during midnight reruns of Dragon Ball Kai is tough)

    Funko to release Sesame Street toys

    I'm excited by the Futurama and Bravest Warriors Pops just as much. Too bad there's no Bob's Burgers ones. That's the one license you'd swear that they'd acquire.

    What is your favorite Sid and Marty Krofft shows?

    Yeah, but you got to admit. The Kroffts are heading this one up themselves. There's got to be something there, right?

    Hanna-Barbera

    Fortunately, after they did try to pry away The Flintstones for all of 2 weeks, someone must've complained and at least, as far as HB shows go, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Flintstones, and Smurfs are at least still there. My complaint is that it turned into the Garfield Show network, and he...

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

    I find the exact reason they were hauled off to court somewhere between semi-appropriate and a cop out. Filming someone getting carjacked is freaking doing something. It's called evidence. And what's to say if Jerry and Co did help out that the carjacker was carrying a gun and there's likely...
