    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Okay... I'd agree with any complaint brought against the show, but I still think the voice acting thing can't be helped. Arthur would sound like a full grown man, because most of his child actor voice actors are. Not that the original one doesn't still collect a paycheck from the show, he's...

    When you need to rant...

    I wouldn't know. I got complications of Diabetes hearing that narmy jingle.

    Is Frozen overrated?

    Pixar's lack of an offering was purely due to internal politics related to The Good Dinosaur, not unlike what happened with Brave. Quote Pixar Wiki: I have absolutely lost any optimism for that project and just a smidge of empathy for Pixar with that debacle. Planes 2 was an obvious stop gap...

    Your Thoughts: Half-hour Sesame Street begins on PBS September 1, 2014

    I don't like the cynical reasoning behind it... the whole aspect for it to be tailor made for yuppies with tablets and phones so full of apps, they don't even bother with any other viewing media, mainly because they can shut kids up on a shopping trip (or even ruder, in a restaurant). It makes...

    Thoughts on sponsors

    There's this cooking program called "Taste This TV." It's the cheapest, low rent-est, cable access looking thing you'd ever see. It has a whopping 12 sponsors. It almost comes off as the Family Guy gag about movie production logos, or the one about the extended Maude Theme song. Really... it...

    Your Thoughts: Half-hour Sesame Street begins on PBS September 1, 2014

    It's probably because PBS would refuse to let them run it twice a day at an hour each. Somehow, it feels like they needed a half hour to fill. I'm miffed because that half hour my station took would wind up kicking WordGirl off the single afternoon slot. As for the episode itself, I shouldn't...

    Pet Peeves

    I hate the word "Whom" and the snobby uptight grammarphiles that insist that it's a correct word and thumb their noses at anyone who uses "who" in its place. Whom never sounds correct, I don't care whom says we need to use whom. It sounds, instead, like the equivalent of faux-Elisabethian...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    On that subject... Finally, by way of Fisher Price's Imaginenext Line, we finally see Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy figures for the mainstream market. There were very hard to find collector's figures of the character (also fairly recent), but this is the first one targeted directly to the...

    TV Tropes

    I'd almost sign up to contribute to that. There's a LOT of stuff that seems to be missing. If I were on there, I'd add something about how Between the Lions went from a one story book to further a plot to 2 story books with the Library being nothing more than a framing device. I never liked...

    Let's Play: Spot the references in the Numericon Trailer!

    Yeah. While Indiana Jones did have a series of comic books, he's not seen as a Comic Book or sci-fi character, not to mention the character is all but dead after the last movie that no one liked for some reason, making that reference out of left field. Adventure Time manages to fit in that...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Considering they only had so many character models to begin with, even before the situation was exacerbated by flash animation, I'm surprised they didn't use Maria in other scenes and give her a crowd line to begin with. Something tells me the only reason she's even getting an episode is...

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    VMX was created to go for as many demos as possible without ignoring the long time fans. But it seems to me that they thought of the nostalgic college age kids for the most part. And it worked for that film. It's horribly dated now, not just in terms of Crock Hunter references, but the style...

    TV Tropes

    There's got to be a "Too short to ride the roller coaster" trope. Somehow, hearing that Arthur was going to beat that dead horse just made me so freaking annoyed at this stale bit. I just have to see how many times that was overused.

    The "You know what?" thread

    So... Hello Kitty isn't a Cat. And then she's not not a cat. Yeah.... that's a thing that happened! I say, heck with Hello Kitty, the Japanese Cat that's king is Doraemon.

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    While I never saw that much of it, I'll admit to not wanting to defend it. Though it's painfully obvious this was meant to be a TV show, Frog School, and said TV show was going to be for preschoolers. Which makes me wonder... were we actually just better off with one lame DTV movie, or would...

    When you need to rant...

    Watching a LOT of Nickelodeon and CN lately, I'll do you one better. Those freaking mail order kid's toys that are mostly idiotic plush that do other things. But the worst of them has to be Ball Pets and that horrible rap jingle. If I hear "Zip Zoom all around da room" one more time, I'm going...

    Live Action The Tick may return via Amazon

    Patrick Warburton says it's so I'm mixed. I've been pretty much begging for a new outlet of The Tick media outside the comic book (which I don't bother reading anymore, mostly due to the price tag). While I enjoyed the television show and Patrick's portrayal of the character, I agree the low...

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    Well, everyone that isn't a teenage girl that doesn't realize it's about an abusive relationship (it...totally...is) hates the series, and everyone who does wants to make fun of it. It's just a little too late for that to be relevant, and waaaaaaay too early to be considered nostalgic...

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    I'm wondering if the Animation Lead Time (or in this case Puppet Show produced a year or more in Advance Lead Time) will hurt the Twilight parody in Crumby Pictures. Even mocking that...that that is out of fashion (thank Glob). While I don't fully agree that certain movies and TV shows have a...

    International skits on Youtube...

    Here's another very interesting one... These segments were used for the "Count TV" segment that sort of existed somewhere. While that segment isn't being used, the animated Ernie and Bert seems to be salvaged from that.
