Well, I'd say that The Muppet Movie and Muppets take Manhattan were emotional, but not manipulatively so. Heck, Tm is in TV Trope's page for Sadist Show... I really don't want to speak ill of the tone, since it worked for that movie specifically. They were a little heavy handed in the world...

The classic Muppet movies were all based on old movie cliches and played around with. If anything, MMW got that right. I guess a lot of movie goers were too jaded to get into a classic caper sort of movie. But there's no logical way to follow up a "getting the band back together" film with...

The character development in that show is astounding to the point that watching a first season episode after all this is almost bizarre. Everyone just hated Mordecai and Rigby and dumped everything on them. Maybe not Pops, and Skips saw them more as stupid kids than anything. But Benson and...

While I certainly don't want to lump the entire Regular Show fandom here (as I am one), I just do not get the faction of the group that hates Benson so much without the context of him being a boss and therefore automatically antagonistic in certain situations, and the fact that without those...

I'll agree only to the ending. That saccharine, hopeful noise ruined a delightfully twisted dark comedy. And there was so character development. The rabbit that wanted to commit suicide and felt he was useless found a passion in making clothes, and frankly that's a strong message to those who...

Ty Burrell pretty much matched the Muppets for me, and his play with Sam the Eagle was one of the many bright spots in the movie, perfectly complimenting the Constantine and Ricky pairing. Tina was also quite good as well, as was Ricky. I have no problem at all with these humans. There have...

Eh... so this isn't ironic "so bad it's good" fandom? This sounds like scratchpad wiki garbage to me. Shame. I've seen a couple of these before and they're just incredibly stupid. But the special kind of incredibly stupid that it's almost fun to watch. I mean, the message for the whole show...

It's Christmas specials. A Bubbling Mikey concert is noting compared to Hallmark's onslaught of garbage, bargain basement, copyright infringement movies staring overtly Christian Q-List celebrities. Yeah, we have The Grinch, Rudolph, Charlie Brown's 4 specials, and stuff like that. But it's a...

A 2 and a half year wait for a sequel is nothing. That's a standard. I don't see how rushing out a movie to get out a year after the first one would have done any good either. Something tells me that if Mr. Peabody and Sherman and MMW switched dates, MMW would have been the barely modest...

The only thing Spongebob is to blame for is that Nick expects Spongebob levels of success early in their other programs when Spongebob itself was almost kicked off the line up the first year! Spongebob had a slow rise to massive popularity... it took its second year to really blow up. Frankly...

Okay. While he may not make a major TV return, I have news that Courage the Cowardly Dog is returning to the comic book pages for one glorious issue. According to these IDW solicitations for February a second series of Classic CN crossover comics has been announced by IDW, this one more...

Someone help me with this one. I don't even really know if it was a Sesame Street skit or not, but I swear there's something Muppety where someone mumbles a location and it gets translated as "Acamafloomfloom." It's a weird, esoteric thing and I'm sure someone here can remember that. I...

Fooled me when I first saw the Sesame Road album, too. I don't think it had anything to do with it, despite the similar title... In fact, Bert was added to the recorded version. it wasn't even a Bert song to begin with either... Yep. It's one of the earlier Anything Muppet bits where they...

FINALLY! Funko has released a vynal statue figure thing of Discord. Unfortunately it's like 25 bucks, and I'm too casual a fan (if I can even call myself one) to want to spend that much on a thing like that. But it's nice to see that my favorite character in the series that had yet to get any...

If there's anything wrong with the film itself, I can't find anything. If anyone's going to condemn the film based on Jim not being involved, you have quite a bit of Muppet projects to add to that. It's a far better project we've seen in years, and at least its not another "classic retelling."...

Considering how CN fluffed that one up. Really?! Not one marathon to promote the film? Just dumping the entire thing, I see. Still think MVA could be resurrected if it wasn't part Nickelodeon. It really needed a better finale where they actually dealt with Coverton. Whole show was a...

Okay, this one about Peter Piker and his pookled peepers was pretty good. Nice to see Eric get a non-Frank Oz recast original character from time to time. Also great to see another worried Telly episode. I'd love to poke holes in the logic of not ordering these things ahead, but then you lose...

I really hope that with this, Turbo, and King Julien's shorts, we'll see more Dreamworks animated shows on Netflix. There was loose talk of a Croods series in the works. I hope if it doesn't find a place on TV (and with Nick screwing over MVA, that's almost a given) it continues there. I...
