    Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy coming back

    Last year, said cereals were at local grocery stores. Just not this year. I really wish they'd stocked more Count Chocula, since that one always goes weeks before they clear them out. Luckily, I got some Chocolate Lucky Charms which are almost as good. There was also a special Halloween...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Wal*Mart supposedly has a couple of the Battlesaurs as part of an exclusive toyline. They had an ad for it and everything. Kinda disappointed they aren't available at Disney Stores. Then again, I was also really disappointed that Small Fry was the only short they didn't make figures of. I...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    While definitely another topic for another thread, Pixar needs to be open to doing more half hour specials (with all their characters) than full on sequels. I have to admit, I dug what I've seen of the Cars based shorts. The general consensus is that Toy Story doesn't need a 4, and there's...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    Probably what the thing is missing. A third example, and a more stressed out salesman. I like the punchline, but it seems that it needed to be delivered under more duress. But yeah. First season and all. It's clear that the formula for these sketches was still being tweaked.

    Commercial rant time...

    I've never seen that one, actually. Thankfully other than that pudgy, annoying woman dressed up as an elf (SHE WASN'T FUNNY, AUDI!), I don't have much to complain about this year's Christmas car commercials. I usually find them to be the epitome of what's wrong with Christmas, especially the...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    I just have to ask... are Nina Needs to take a Dump shirts still in production? I think the entire series of shorts disappeared. Seriously. Michimichi is a one person quest to tell the world how bad that thing was, and I respect that as someone who wants to do the same for Wild Grinders. AH...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I like how it's completely nontraditional a Christmas special. Seems the worst of the newer ones take an already overused trope and manage to make it even blander a cliche. No wonder I love twisted Christmas specials. Also looking forward to Uncle Grandpa's Christmas special. Too bad CN blew...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Oh, I like mint and all. I just like a variety of flavors that you're only supposed to enjoy once a year. There are some very specific products I look forward to every holiday, and it's disappointing when one's discontinued. Yeah, I'm glad that Hostess was rescued (barring the fact the greedy...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    So many kinds of licensed candy canes. Those are great. They have Hawaiian Punch ones, and I totally have to get those. But the one I'm very curious about are the Swedish Fish ones. Now those are either pretty good or freaking terrible. Or generic Cherry like ones. Then they have the...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Did you make sure it was fastened correctly, or did you accidentally put the heavier ornaments on one side? Both tend to happen from time to time.

    Jazz song in Triangle and Square Cartoon

    Eh... hipsters do. ;)

    Miss Piggy joins NBC Christmas Special

    The CD one's pretty good too. But they really need to find another Christmas song for Piggy to sing. Though, the only Christmas song I can think of at the top of my head is Weird Al's The Night Santa Went Crazy. Doesn't help that I just watched a bunch of Weird Al videos on Youtube, huh?

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    So, apparently some idiots are ticked off there's a black Storm Trooper or something in the new trailer... Think of it this way. We've finally got the third black guy in outer space. Makin' some real progress there. Why, in no time we'll see another woman, maybe. ;)

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    It seems like that, but just a little restrained. Things weren't defined, they didn't find the limit they could push things, and there was a different balance of the Muppet presence on the show. Not saying this stuff isn't funny. It is, but it's missing something that would be better...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Well, I meant more that his dream sequence was hypocritical to the poorly done message of the episode overall. I posted a whole long rant about that one. Essentially the episode featured him pressured to like a kind of music he didn't like, all the while painting him as some sort of philistine...

    Commercial rant time...

    UGH! Audi brought back the annoying, chubby, dorky looking woman elf from last year for their commercials. And giving her essentially the same non-joke. Like it was funny the first time. She is the worst commercial spokesthing ever.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Imagine Spots are not uncommon in any television or movie medium. The kids that are being tested must be 3 or something. It should stop being treated as a preschool series for one thing. It never was. Then again, with recent episodes, I don't even notice much of a difference since they still...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Absolutely ridiculous. No wonder why they lampshaded it in the Neil Gaiman episode. Bad enough they have to add ripple dissolves and fairy sound effects before each one.

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    That sketch is a strange inclusion that shows how experimental the series was at this point. It feels like a less manic version of something that would have appeared on a variety show. It's funny sure, but somehow the skit feels like it needed something to push it over the edge. certainly, if...
