    The "You know what?" thread

    We had one winter like 3 years ago where it was mild and it barely snowed. And we've paid for it that next 3. Then again, that year, it snowed record breaking in October. OCTOBER! So we weren't even that well off that year. And I want to say there was a major storm in December as well...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4518 - Friendship Day

    I really like these deep, emotional moments with Elmo and Zoe. The characters work beautifully together, and they both get to emote off each other. Elmo rarely emotes due to his role in the show, but when the show finally gives him an opportunity, they run with it. Nice to see Big Bird and...

    Back To Square One?(The Muppets' 60th Anniversary)

    The Independent film channel was the format change. I've actually never seen it, but remember seeing the DVD, and it mentioned film parodies. Suffice to say, it was a different show with the same puppets. Dunno if any of the humans reprised their roles or had cameos. I'm starting to forget...

    Disney Princesses

    Disney doesn't do or own the dub. It merely airs the show.

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    After watching the two Dental Health strips, it's no wonder.

    Favorite Seinfeld moments?

    I have a fun little story about that one. Have you ever had a friend tell you about an episode of something you've never seen and it sounds so incredibly weird that it can't be true? THAT was this episode. I haven't seen it before, and it wasn't a couple years later when I actually managed to...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    They freaking have Madagascar plush with candy at Target! Too bad it's only Alex, Marty, and Skipper. Totally should have a King Julien too. Still miss that 3 year period when kid's valentines came with posters. I used to buy those just for the posters.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Bebop and Rocksteady have made their first appearance at the end of this last episode. Appropriately enough, their toys just hit shelves. And because Rocksteady is a Russian guy this time, Rocksteady's weapons are a hammer and sickle. And of course they're taking a break after this episode...

    Back To Square One?(The Muppets' 60th Anniversary)

    I did like the show, and I kinda wish I got the DVD's for repeat viewing. But I can't help think that the Muppet series they pitched would have been a bad copy of that in terms of humor. Making the original a ripoff of the parody version. I detest the term "edgy" because it's such an...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Where the heck do you even live, man? We've had 2 blizzards in a week (not counting 2 minor storms in between)! And horrid cold behind it so it didn't even melt from the first time. There's like over 5 feet of snow on the ground. And it's too cold to even clean this batch up! There's no...

    The Rowdy Reviewer thread

    Animated sitcoms are rarely that good anyway. The ALF series was the exception where it's actually better than the sitcom substantially. There's so much imagination and wackiness without the treacle of 1980's sitcominess. Not that I don't love ALF the sitcom, the animated series had the...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    As a fan of the show, this kinda got to me. Okay, if Amazing World of Gumball is so popular that they air it that many times a day, where the heck is the merchandise? There are (impossible to find) kid's books, a zipper up backpack plush that's like in one out of every 10 Party City Stores...

    Super Bowl XLIX: The Commercials

    Well, we all know what Tarrentino's favorite Super Bowl Spot was... But seriously. Danny Trejo is great in everything. Rokkarokkarokkarokka!

    Back To Square One?(The Muppets' 60th Anniversary)

    Wonder Showzen was a much better show. While I liked Greg, a lot of the jokes were the same adult pot shot types you see in this kind of thing. Of course, it didn't completely get cancelled since it managed to move to a cable channel, but with a huge format change of movie parodies or...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    That show had mid-season replacement written all over it. I'm surprised Fox is even bothering to air the rest of the episodes. Thing should have disappeared by now. I'm just glad they knew Bob's Burgers may have a small cult fanbase, but they're dedicated as heck. I still love the irony that...

    Back To Square One?(The Muppets' 60th Anniversary)

    I don't think that was the case. They already had their next In Living Color through MadTV. Clearly they were trying to go with the "edgy" direction, and back then it meant making as many pop culture references as possible in a short time frame. Like I said, this was back when people actually...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    I seriously wonder if they're going to yank the plug on Mulaney all together or if they're going to pull a Till Death and force it for way more seasons than it needed to be. Seriously, I tried on 3 separate occasions to watch that show and I just couldn't make it more than a couple minutes in...

    Back To Square One?(The Muppets' 60th Anniversary)

    I can praise them for trying to put in classic characters, and there were genuinely decent concepts in it. But I really think the over abundance of pop culture heavy skits would have been tiresome and it was a poor fit for the Muppets. Granted, this is looking back from a viewpoint where the...

    Uncle Grandpa

    I'm glad we've got another episode of Uncle Grandpa being a magnificent btrd instead of him screwing things up. I liked the Christmas episode and all, but I just don't see UG as someone that clumsy and accident prone so much as a very goofy doofus exterior hiding a surprisingly savvy mind when...

    Back To Square One?(The Muppets' 60th Anniversary)

    Don't even bother looking (though it can be found somewhere on this message board, I forget where). Imagine all the pop culture based segments of VMX. Now imagine an entire show of that but worse! They opened the show with a parody of MTV's Jack@**. Did we really want to see the Muppets...
