    TMS: Would Its Quality Decline If Continued?

    It really depends on the guest star too. The ones who enjoyed being there gave us some great episodes. John Cleese's episode was always a favorite of mine, even causing the show to gain Monty Python-esque humor due to his assist. Then there's when the guest star stinks, making the episode...

    Who didn't see this coming?

    Of course. I honestly have nothing to say about this, but the same old rant about parental groups, cheapskate, cowardly network execs. All I want now is documented proof anyone actually watches this garbage. No one does, no0 one likes it... and yet every SINGLE Saturday morning has the same...

    Looking for Coming of Age Books/Movies for a Gift

    You know... I managed to catch most of "The Way Way Back" last month and found it to be amazing. Almost makes me wish I saw it in theaters... if it wasn't for another Steve Carrel movie that came out on the same day. One with a lot more bananas.

    TMS: Would Its Quality Decline If Continued?

    Then of course, there are shows that are relatively short, and can't even manage to keep consistent quality for the couple seasons it's actually on. I do agree a sixth season of TMS wouldn't exactly have been too huge a drop in quality or totally stale, but it really seems Jim and crew felt...

    Joan Ganz Cooney Tribute

    The tribute is absolutely wonderful and all, but when I saw there was one on Youtube, I almost fell off my chair and frantically searched here to see if something happened to her. :eek: Thank goodness nothing did.

    Remember how we were complaining about Muppet Movie Posters?

    I agree with the article. The fact that it's a movie with vikings flying on dragons basically sells itself. Instead of having these guys flying around in an action scene, they just sit there. It's very obvious movie posters are the last thing they think about when marketing a movie these days.

    TMS: Would Its Quality Decline If Continued?

    If there's one thing I can say about The Muppet Show it's that there are some things about the show I wouldn't miss if they made a new show that abandoned the concept. Sometimes the fawning over guest stars was a little... awkward, unnecessary, and unwatchable. Something pretty painful about...

    International skits on Youtube...

    Word Disco Grover re-purposed for Shalom Sesame. Unlike the letter song series, only partially dubbed.

    When you need to rant...

    The new Happy Meal designs are A) far from new. Europe got them about 2 years before we did. In fact, they actually had a couple international promotions where figures of those characters. Latin America had a Soccer themed promotion a month ago. B) a cheap attempt to "Minionize" everything...

    Doraemon FINALLY coming to the US

    Viz has the rights to Doraemon merchandise Hopefully we'll see some really good stuff so I don't have to go to a Japanese toy store and spend a fortune, mostly on import fees.\ Seriously. Keychains cost as much as a freaking Medium sized Transformer. And those aren't that cheap, either.

    Remember how we were complaining about Muppet Movie Posters?

    Cracked does it again!. I started with the second page for a reason. To illustrate how kid's movie posters are often the worst of the bunch. I agree. What the heck's up with the "shove character's faces right up in yours" deal? It's moronic. And that's why we don't have Drew masterpieces...

    TMS: Would Its Quality Decline If Continued?

    Sesame Street is so completely different from what The Muppet Show was, there's no real comparison. SS's "decline in quality" is due to the ever changing face of children's educational television, and it stays on the air because it's become an institution. I don't think The Muppet Show would...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Actually, that was one guy on 2Chan. Don't see why that was blown out of proportion. Though, if that's the case, these kaiju seem to draw energy from nuclear/radioactive waste. Maybe the film makers are trying to tell us something? Then again, after a while, the original Godzilla looked like...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I HATE these "and Friends" DVD's. Well, maybe not some of the Sesame Street ones, but the others in WB's quiver. Do we really need more less than an hour of footage DVD's in the year 2014 when DVD's are becoming obsolete?

    When you need to rant...

    The latest in a batch of McDonalds Happy Meal toys are complete garbage. The Spider-Man 2 set was terrible, the Pokemon set (even though I detest the franchise-'cept for Meowth) is atrocious, and the How to Train Your Dragon 2 set is disgraceful. What the heck happened to having figures in the...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Godzilla was freakin' amazing. Truly the American made Godzilla movie we deserved and not the Jurassic Park wannabe we got back in 1998. But what really made me happy about the film? It wasn't a remake. Godzilla wasn't the monster causing trouble, and at the end he was actually the hero...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    Some of the terrible Games animated episodes of Ren and Stimpy were pretty brain damaging. And not even in a fun way. I'm pretty sure I said this on this thread, but I never liked how they marketed Spongebob to pre-preschool audiences. Even when the show started out, it had some pretty...

    The Steven Universe thread

    With Steven Universe and Clarence, it's refreshing to see kids who you can actually believe are kids. it took the Nick TMNT series for the TMNT to actually come off as teenagers to me. Always felt like they were in their mid-20's for some reason. Cartoonists really have a better hold of how...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    Even if I hated Spongebob, I'd take it over the hours of live action dreck they call sitcoms. I've also noticed that Nick is starting to switch focus from Spongebob to TMNT, which I am not complaining in the least. There's actually starting to be less Spongebob merchandising now than before...
