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

    It was always like that. Always. It just gets more notice now since the stories of how screwed up something was are usually not known in their own day, but information that used to only be prithee to TV types is well spread out today with the internet. And it's a shame, since some of those...

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

    TV isn't exactly watched on TV anymore. While it means we get a bigger selection of shows, streaming will wind up devolving into backdoor deals between streaming sites. Which I don't like at all. You're going to have to pay as much for watching all your shows as cable (divided by how many...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4515 - Stinky's First Day of Preschool

    This was thankfully just posted. Highlight of the episode? Most definitely.

    Excellent Frank Oz Interview (2014)

    I'd say the worst offender would have been LTS. I understand that Gonzo has understated, quiet moments from time to time, but he seemed just chronically depressed in that one. That one wasn't just gooey, it was practically oozing saccharine. Even Paul Williams's songs in that one were almost...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    Even if it wasn't a sequel, direct or otherwise, they'd still call it one. I'm pretty sure that Disney coerced them into making the film an actual sequel when the writers have been on record saying they wanted something more disjointed. The happy medium was lampshading the fact it was a sequel...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    Nostalgia is for selling one higher end item and t-shirts to people who lost interest and only got back to causal because they saw Kermit die in a skit in Robot Chicken. You know, cuz that's like how they end 90% of their skits. Childish thing dies. And that's much more of a draw than the...

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

    I don't know how rights acquisitions work. I could most definitely see Funko tapping into Fraggle Rock for these things. They're no more or less obscure than some of the movies and TV shows from the 80's they've done. And given the venues that usually sell them, they're ripe for that kind of...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Okay, Strange Magic's supposedly getting horrid reviews, but even then it's general consensus the music's good. It would be nice to see this get some love in the soundtrack area. Then again, it still looks a lot better than the last CGI kiddy movie based on a Shakespeare play Touchstone...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    Hate double posting, but I just love how not only did Bad Judge get cancelled, it's on TVTropes' "So Bad it's Horrible" page. And it's going to be available on MOD DVD, as if anyone's clamoring for it.

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    I honestly don't think they were, but used a cliffhanger as leverage. Maybe if it had a big enough cult fanbase, they'd get angry and pressure ABC to renew it instead of "Cheap Reality Competition No 654" or "Rotten Summer Replacement Series on the Cheap." I'd say that either the show heads...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    The horror stories are so legend their own wiki makes fun of them. I honestly do not see what's wrong with liking a whole bunch of them, and I like G1 as much as I do both Prime and Animated, and can also enjoy...well... I'll give them everything but the 3 animes we had in the early 00's. Even...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    From what I've seen of Downton Abbey it's actually a little more accurate than I expected as a parody. Not a huge fan of the series, but I picked up on a couple things. The episode was a little deeper than I thought it would be anyway, even though it's yet another example of slashing and...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    I'm disappoint. Apparently, McCarthy's was just off for a week. Seriously. the freaking laugh track is on a timer. Bullcrap that it's filmed in front of a live audience, unless they pump a crapload of Nitrous Oxide into the studio.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Tangled was screwed all along the way. It was almost an unspeakably horrible movie involving time travel. I remember seeing the test footage on Youtube... It's even worse than the Black Friday Toy Story reel! Then they had to market the movie so it appealed to boys, leading all the trailers...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    Don't think that really stopped them. I failed to see the show's appeal from day one, and now it's sliding further and further down hacky fan fic lane. It's only a matter of time before they put Winnie the Pooh into it, if you catch my drift. The thing that's annoying about the ending of...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Kinda think "from the mind of George Lucas" scared everyone off. Come to think of it, other than Star Wars and Indiana Jones, no one really cares much about his movies. It did look kinda good, though.

    Favorite Seinfeld moments?

    Oh jeez. Now that somehow reminded me of He's Beboppin' and scattin' and I'M LOSIN' IT!" Seriously. Any time George has an outburst.

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

    I still think the most horrifying thing if Henson still owned the Muppets would be who the movie rights would have gone to. I needn't say the name. You know who it is. If anything, the Muppets need a new comic book. Disney has just licensed out its classic Disneyverse comics to IDW...

    Indiewire: Does Muppets Most Wanted Have Oscar "Best Song" Potential?

    Exactly. I'll agree to "the First Time it Happens" being the least qualified song on that list (totally should have been "Happiness Hotel" or "Hey! A Movie!"), and at least people under the age of fifty have heard the song from Arthur. As far as this one goes, We have a song by Glenn Campbell...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I'm very happy about those shorts. It's just that they've been struggling for a 2-D feature and hitched their trailers to films that were doomed to not do too well. Princess and the Frog went under heavy scrutiny because everything about it was either too racial or not racial enough. Even...
