    Sesame Street Season 48 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for November 2017

    For the last time, nobody is defending the decision - this is just what goes on in the entertainment industry. Nobody has ever said, "Good for Sesame Workshop for dumping those old farts!" Nobody ever said the decision was even right or a good one. As the saying goes, "that's show biz." It may...

    Sesame Street Season 48 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for November 2017

    And for other actors on other shows, this kind of working arrangement is exactly a reason why they would voluntarily walk away from a show. This is exactly the reason why Wayne Rogers left M*A*S*H when he did, because not only was Trapper reduced to Hawkeye's sidekick when they were supposed to...

    Sesame Street Season 48 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for November 2017

    Yeah, you're right, and I'm sorry your obsessive and compulsive behavior exhausted my patience to the point that I was goaded into a slight transgression.

    Nothing, so why do you keep derailing every single Sesame topic about it?

    The "You know what?" thread

    I'm pretty sure I mentioned that, almost verbatim, in another thread.

    Sesame Street Season 48 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for November 2017

    It's like I said a while back, such a big deal was made about them supposedly also scaling back on celebrities because "kids don't know who they are," yet I've yet to see any evidence that that's what they're doing.

    Sesame Street Season 48 begins shooting, HBO premiere set for November 2017

    Maybe it's kind of similar to how Dr. Teeth and Rowlf were sort of semi-retired following Jim's death, but have recently rose back to prominence among the Classic Muppets. Maybe Herry was put into semi-retirement as Jerry's health was declining, but that he's got a new regular performer, that...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    And the full circle repeats itself . . . again. First Jennifer Lawrence, then Neil Patrick Harris, now Steve Carell's slithering back into the limelight again. Still never ceases to amaze me with a gigantic pool of talent Hollywood has, they keep shoving the same few faces at us for years and years.

    Is that a trap door in the side of the stoop to hide puppeteers?

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

    I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that studios are hardly putting any effort into DVD releases anymore. Lack of bonus features; minimal menus; amateurish cover art that almost looks bootleg.

    Golden Globes - What's the Point?

    Okay, I don't know what exactly went down last night since I honestly could care less about any of these umpteen award shows, but after seeing all kinds of reactions all over Facebook this morning, I'm going to try and figure it out without actually looking into it, since the reaction seems to...

    When you need to rant...

    For years, Yahoo!'s security has been falling by the wayside - so much so, that after seeing other friends' Yahoo! accounts being hacked and sending out spam, I felt prompted to make the switch the Gmail a few years back, despite my stance as a loyal opposition of Google (and having been a loyal...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I'd kind of like to try my hand at an Odd Couple fanfic: I have an idea of what the story would be, but the problem is I can't make up my mind how Felix should be written, because I can actually see him in two completely different mindframes within the context of the plot.

    Where are the older humans?

    Well, again, weren't they already working on Season 47, or even finishing it up, at the time it was revealed they were being let go from the series proper? Keep in mind, the seasons are produced very, very far in advance before airing, and it's only been since last summer or so that it was...

    What Book Are You Currently Reading?

    Funnily enough, I somehow find myself being able to go through a book quicker with a lot of short chapters, as opposed to a few long chapters. Tom Bergeron's autobiography has like nearly forty chapters, but each one is like maybe two, four, six pages long or so, so it's like you can fly through...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4702 - The Kindness Kid

    I'm not even talking about the kindness theme, I'm just saying if both "Kindness Cam" and the closing tag serve a very similar - if not the same - purpose, then it seems likes having both is unnecessary and just one or the other would suffice.

    What Book Are You Currently Reading?

    I've been meaning to reread this forever, so I finally decided to start the other day. Seems like I recall the first time I read it, it took me a month and a half or two months to finish, lol.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4702 - The Kindness Kid

    I still feel like it'd work better if we had just one or the other, rather than both an Elmo post-script and a closing tag - it just seems having both is a tad redundant.

    The Chipmunks

    It feels like ALVINNN is already recycling its own plots over and over, because apparently an upcoming new episode has a plot that involves a video going viral . . . which has already been done twice: first with Theodore posting his new original song on a YouTube expy going viral and launching a...

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

    There's the Tom Hanks Syndrome, where an actor starts their careers doing light-hearted comedies, then afterwards spends the rest of their lives doing dramatic movies instead. I'm beginning to think there should be a similar syndrome for producers called the Telly Perry Syndrome. Remember when...
