    Blackish was a brave show. It didn't wuss about around racial issues. And that's what bugs me, the Minority Show Ghetto. Racial issues tend to turn Caucasian viewers off (because we absolutely must pander to them), and if they're completely removed from the situation, you essentially have the...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I'll admit, the sparks logo is stylish... for the late 70's. They kept that one up until the 90's, if I'm not mistaken. I swear that the second they had a new logo for CTW they changed their name to Sesame Workshop.

    A Children's Television Workshop disclaimer?

    You don't even have to see an anime. Just watch an early 1980's cartoon animated in Japan for the Western Market. It was used intermittently during Inspector Gadget, mostly season 2. "Gadget in Minimadness" has a sequence where the little monsters fall out a window, and we're treated to the...

    The 'what movie did you last watch thread'

    It's not so much that they came in later, as much as they come in later, disappear and come back even later then... well... The Turtles should have been in more of their own movie. I'm actually wondering if giving it a shorter runtime than a Transformers movie was a good call or not. Cuz, at...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    I honestly don't mind if a show features sex or not. All I care about is, if it does, the writings at least good. Crime shows are getting R rated violent lately, and you rarely hear complaints about that. Criminal Minds devolved into Gorn territory. Part of the reason Patankin left. I'd...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    That &^%$ bird. I swear that when I first saw it, I was dreaming it. I actually have a vivid memory of where I was and what I was doing. And for me, vivid memory isn't something you hear me say often unless the words "I've pretty much lost anything comparable to a" are before it. There was...

    The 'what movie did you last watch thread'

    It's not so much awful as it had potential and it wasn't fulfilled. Some of the problems came directly from pandering to the film's detractors, like making Oroku Saki Shredder yet keeping Eric Sacks in the film, giving him partially Shredder's and Baxter Stockman's scenes, pushing both of them...

    The 'what movie did you last watch thread'

    It made most of its money internationally. MMW was barely shown outside of the States and a brief run in England. Planes 2 only did better because it was released in more markets. Had MMW been in more markets, the film would have made much more. Simple as that. Technically, Planes 2 was a...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    Exactly. These are concepts that work better as movies than as TV shows. Sure, you can have story arcs that can last up to a season. Day to day, episodic type sitcoms work much better in the long run. But if the show is about a specific continuous plotline, you're going to run into some...

    Selfie looks like it would have been a movie, a small February release Teen focus movie at that. I don't see this premise being stretched out a season alone. Thing could be solved in 90 minutes. Seems that sitcoms have to be either about families or relationships, and anything else is...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    Didn't even care for it before it became political. It's just a bland show with Tim as an unlikable jerk. Even Family Guy characters were more sympathetic. What really gets me is the show "Selfie." We need a show named after the most not timeless thing you can think of, and the previews make...

    A Children's Television Workshop disclaimer?

    You go to the right places, that's the least surprising thing there is on the internet. Logos have a huge following on the internet, and talking about how scary they are is almost constant. And frankly, I agree with some of them. Loud, minor key music. In your face ugly graphics... some of...

    Beware the Batman impressions

    It's official. Beware the Batman is being written off by CN. Yeah. Why bother resurrecting the show for an adult market anyway? We have Mr. Pickles to bring them the same lame juvenile "adult" humor that the AS fanbase supposedly wants. DC is in dire crap if they can't get a Batman cartoon...

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

    I have to admit that I get baaaaad seasonal depression disorder (or whatever it's called) as soon as summer ends. When they make the transition from lemon-aid and Ice cream flavored stuff to pumpkin, I'm usually not too happy about it. Then again, it was mostly last year when a certain donut...

    A Children's Television Workshop disclaimer?

    It's amazing how big and bold they wanted production logos back then. I'm sure those who were afraid of the V of Doom weren't so because it was quiet and low key. The music always had to sound so regal as well. Oddly enough, I find that the zipping, electrical, echoing sparky CTW logo worked...

    A Children's Television Workshop disclaimer?

    I had to completely reread the entire thread to even understand what this was about. Almost thought it was that idiotic Old School DVD's not being suitable for kids bit (as in, not idiotic because they exist, but idiotic because they have to). He meant production logos. And yes... the...

    And even those who liked Rio hated the sequel. What does that tell you?

    Potential new Cookie Monster segment in development

    cough cough cough... budget. the budget cough cough. I'd love to see more of these things produced per season. They cost too much for that, of course, so I'm just happy with the ones we have per season. The thing that's really annoying about considering cancelling it, though... these...

    I caught some of Rio on the Disney Channel before a Star Wars Lego special. All I can say was meh. It certainly wasn't terrible... but remember that thread about how Frozen was overrated? No. RIO is overrated. VERY much overrated.

    The second season had potential. Even if it turned into a bland 4th wall breaking thing, it at the least deserved a third season, or at LEAST a half season that resolved the finale. If sitcoms were canceled for quality sake, I'm sure most of the ones on today would be canned. And frankly, a...
