    How's this for a travesty of animation justice?

    What's really obnoxious is that The Mask is pretty in demand as far as cartoons go. After all, it had a pretty decent run and expanded it's movie's universe and concepts in almost a Men in Black/Ghostbusters sort of way. It was a very good action comedy series in its own right, and it deserves...

    How's this for a travesty of animation justice?

    You may recall in the early to mid-90's when Jim Carrey's film career took off there were three shows based on his first three massively successful movies. The Mask, Ace Ventura, and Dumb and Dumber. Now, The Mask was a great series that actually seemed to improve upon the concept of the movie...

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

    Now that I think about it, if there's one thing I loved about this episode it's probably the first this season they actually used another set. Sesame Street is the often perpetrator of the bottle episode. It's nice to see they actually gave care enough to move the episode beyond the street...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    My complaint exactly. They're a non-profit strapped for cash frequently, yet there's a veritable wealth of foreign market in mind material produced in English only to be dubbed that never manage to get on the show, but they're desperate enough to use Pre-School Musical well after parodying it...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    I wouldn't put it past them to get that to work, though. I'm sure they could just pick the show apart to add some Muppet moments back into the show. Even wholesale unaltered versions of that segment would be a lot less dull than the same Abby segments over and over... but you have a point...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Rumors for the next movie surfaced, and already it sounds like a better film overall. Well... just due to the characters that are rumored to be included. Casey Jones, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady will be part of the next film. All well and good, but this time focus the freaking action on the...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    I'm surprised they didn't just put that Spanish health segment into that space. I understand that they want to get as much mileage as they can out of these expensive cartoons, and I'm sure that some kids are getting restless watching the *&^% Macaroni dinosaur for the hundredth time... I just...

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

    So...wait.... Now TLC has a show celebrating fat people instead of backhanded inspir-shame-tion of 600 pound people getting disgusting graphic procedures? That blows my mind. Not in a good way, mind you. More like the "DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!!" Logical trap that they force evil robots into.

    When you need to rant...

    I don't see where internet review show=loss of profits. Then again, I don't get the whole business model of (inhales)... Refusing to release anything via legal sites, streaming, DVD, downloads, or whatever because they don't think they're going to make enough money to warrant releasing it, yet...

    When you need to rant...

    Yeah. that's why a lot of other review shows went off site. You're kinda playing with fire, no matter what free use that can be claimed. Yet, no one stops uploads of movies and TV shows like they do with unprofitable reviews or remixes. It's Youtube. A network that once aired the show and...

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

    I get the feeling this episode was written more for the parents of the kids who are about to go to preschool rather than the kids. The lesson plan was directly aimed at them to deal with the separation anxiety some kids feel. That said...eh... it was an episode with Stinky in it alright. I...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    You can see it that way, and I got that. But it really feels like they could have gone somewhere with the savings bit, but they didn't have any sketches to back that up. Maybe the "Good Things Come to those who Wait" song, but that's about it.

    Preserving Character Soakies (Shampoo/Bubble Bath)

    Oh, man... I just dump the liquids out of them fast as I can, so I wouldn't be of much use there. Personally, I'm disappointed they don't really have those anymore. Just cheap bottles with characters on the labels. I mean, what's the point of licensed bath products when you're essentially...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    I don't know exactly what deal was made with that show, but there was a savvy realistic thinking between network and the show creators knew the show wasn't going to be a long lasting thing, and they kept a self contained 8 episode storyline. A storyline that went on any further would have no...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    I'd sound like a really broken record if I have to say "they should have gotten rid of Abby's Flying School" again. But yeah... that's like 10 minutes of the show that segment's sitting on. It's all budget reasons the segment's still on the show. Too little money in the budget to contract...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    Anyone else think it was disappointing that the episode started about saving/delayed gratification, and turned sharply into a recycling episode?

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    To make the episode really authentic, she should have prattled on the entire hour with breaks every 20 minutes to sell her books... errr... for PBS, that is. Not a generous tax write off for her, no badoobie doo.

    Questions about anything

    I'm just laughing over that one. The guy has had a history of bad behavior before he shot that kid, so naturally they let him be a prominent, gun carrying member of the neighborhood watch. Then he continues on his famous anger problems after the half jury of scared white upper-middle class...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    That's the weird thing about it. Rio didn't have a race in it, probably not the second (I'm not touching that one). Stranger still since that plotline predates both Planes and Turbo by a few years as well. Cars, not so much because Lightning was an established racer, and racing was only part...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4514 - Oscar's Trash Savings Plan

    I'll agree to that. I really dug it, but it could have been funnier. But I'm impressed that this parody actually was written into the street story, rather than just some self contained thing. Also like how they sung it once and not three or more times during the episode. Yet, I really think...
