    Potential new Cookie Monster segment in development

    That stinks. Too many movies to spoof sounds like a pretty dumb reason to stop these. I'd give it a retool to teach other things, be they alphanumeric, social, or literacy based. This segment is too much fun to pass up. Too many movies... :rolleyes:

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    That's what it is. Morel Oral with the religious satire surgically removed. And yes, I'd love to put Wild Grinders on this list too, but I've bludgeoned that dead horse enough. NFL Guardians of the Rush Zone is also terrible, but in a so bad it's good way. Especially considering what's going...

    The Adults and Snuffy

    I'm starting to think that was just a rationalization they gave instead of saying "jeez, this joke was actually fairly stupid and made the adult characters look like jerks." Some of the almost got hims were funny, I'd admit. But like I said... when the adults are able to accept the crazy...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4505 - Enthusiastic Penelope Penguin

    On the one hand, I have to say there are those people who try too hard to make friends, like Penelope. This is a good lesson, actually. A more realistic version of the lame "just be yourself" thing that never works in real life. It's kind of a family unfriendly aesop, but "tone yourself down...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    And ones of other countries that are even more brutal. I also have to say I'm no fan of China, IL either. But the difference between the reaction I got from that vs. Mr. Pickles is essentially the difference between biting into a sandwich and saying it doesn't taste that good vs biting into a...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    Rick and Morty is a surprisingly cerebral show considering the Doc and Mharti short it was based off of... even then, it managed to have a subtle nod of satire. There's a lot of good stuff on AS like Black Dynamite and Venture Bros. Shows that are devoted to satire and or character...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    GOTG is the darkhorse of the MCU. I think the movie's green lighting was by all means an exercise in how far they can push the Marvel film brand. And it paid off. Not only did they take one of the most obscure, off beat Marvel comics and dump the movie in the dumpiest of dump months, but it's...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Heh Heh Heh. Dolphin Tale 2 slid all the way to fifth in its second week. And a weak week at that. Guardians of the Galaxy has officially made more money than Iron Man 2, and it's still managing to pull in some money a week shy of 2 months after its release. Though I bet they're still going...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4503 - Proud to Be Me

    You mean Bob Boyle. Among his credits are Fairly Oddparents (where Elmer's Boil is named Bob after him) and he's currently working on Clarence (and since the creator of that one was fired for inappropriate conduct, I'm sure Bob will take on more of that show). I really like his contributions...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4502 - Bert's Training Wheels

    The show doesn't like to rerun anything over 10 years old, period. Whether it's the new HD format, the fact that only older audiences want those skits and can find most of them conveniently on line, or wanting to have a smaller roster of more current clips while retiring others, they just...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    I'm seriously considering that the new [adult swim] show Mr. Pickles is a good contender for one of the worst. Sure, the concept of a satanic dog protecting a boy who gets into trouble in a Lassie parody (yep! A Lassie parody in 2014) has merit, I was treated to every single thing wrong with...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    Which ticks me off. We have all these television viewers whining that there isn't something new and different on television, and when we get something that goes against the grain, it's met with a hearty EEEEEEeeeeEEeeeeeeeeEEEWWW! Now, if I remember correctly, this show is by the same forces...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4503 - Proud to Be Me

    And even then, Matt did interact with the Fraggles from time to time. Only time Murray interacted really with any of the main show was the introductory episode about the Laundromat, and he seems pasted in. Joey apparently didn't like the character being shoved in the scene.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I don't see why that should be discussed in the "Worst" thread. Even Sharktale isn't as bad as half of these stinkers. My only complaint is that I watched so much Penguins of Madagascar the series that I prefer the series' interpretations of the penguins, especially a more talkative Rico and...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4502 - Bert's Training Wheels

    Even then, we have a LOT of Ernie and Bert bits intended for everywhere else but American Sesame Street. I don't see why they can't use one of those instead of the same parody/celebrity segment twice in one season.

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4505 - Enthusiastic Penelope Penguin

    Those little bits tend to get very annoying after a while. At least with the scientist one, that was kinda the point when Telly was chucking a spaz.

    Sanjay an Craig: New Nick series

    I love how the show manages to be disgusting as heck and still extremely touching at the same time. Though, I did kinda wince when Sanjay swallowed...ick...that thing he swallowed. I also loved the HUGE revelation that Lady Butterscotch was really Sanjay's mother's pet that Leslie won in a...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4505 - Enthusiastic Penelope Penguin

    Yeah, but that really didn't stop them from celebrating number 35. We haven't had a TV special since 35, and even then it was just an episode of the show done in a retrospective. The first episode of season 40 was supposed to premiere in primetime, but I don't think a single market actually...

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

    Ugh... like I said... the Dock Worker's contracts expire just before Christmas, and there's likely to be a strike. That would be a major blow to the retailers, and don't ask me why they can't pressure the shipping companies because that defies all Earthly logic. So we're going to see the...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4502 - Bert's Training Wheels

    Regardless of who's playing him, I'm just glad to see that Ernie and Bert can actually be on Sesame Street and not a floating entity of just themselves, mainly for the foreign markets. I still can't fathom why half of the claymation segments were deemed unworthy for American broadcast...
