    Where are the older humans?

    We now have a confirmation from SW on Facebook that Bob, Roscoe, and Emilio will, indeed, continue to make public appearances on behalf of Sesame, and have made it perfectly clear that HBO has absolutely nothing to do with any of this.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Something has intrigued me: the Rocky and Bullwinkle segments had a regular narrator - Bill Conrad, Fractured Fairy Tales had a regular narrator - Edward Everett Horton, and Charlie Ruggles was always on hand for Aesop's fables . . . but the Dudley Do-Right cartoons alternated narrators between...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Was Season 47 already in the process of filming before the HBO deal as well? Looking at Muppet Wiki, I see there's still a number of celebrities appearing that season, and there's still evidence of more than half of what they film being cheaply and lazily done with greenscreen.

    Where are the older humans?

    Clearly, it's a combination of a lot of things: scaling back of both Muppet and human characters, doing away with spoofs and parodies . . . in a sense, it almost feels like a deja vu of when Jon Stone said of the ATC era that the show was being "dumbed down," which resulted in him being fired...

    Where are the older humans?

    No, it's really SW's new staff that's behind most, if not all, of these creative decisions that are not sitting well with people, so much so that they pretty much drove Joey away from the show altogether. It's easy to see why people are blaming HBO, though: in this day and age, where networks...

    Where are the older humans?

    Right, and in fact, the reason he was kept on the show in spite of his behavior was because he was almost always under medical supervision. That, and CTW wanted to avoid any bad publicity for either the show or himself since the kids really liked him.

    Humans and Muppets with good chemistry

    I remember in the Caroll Spinney Story that Emilio Delgado said he actually stormed into the control room to reprimand Jon Stone for lashing out at Caroll Spinney simply for flubbing a line, which escalated into a heated dispute, adding that, "Luis is very protective of Big Bird." Unfortunately...

    Ice Age: Blue Sky's Answer to Shrek?

    Totally. Take shows like BEWITCHED and THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, for example: neither show were originally meant to go beyond their fifth seasons, but when the networks dangled more money in some of their faces, they both went on for three more seasons, and they started tanking as a result. In...

    Ice Age: Blue Sky's Answer to Shrek?

    As I said, I feel that's really a problem with the sequels, is they keep adding so many unnecessary side characters. I mean, just looking at the trailer for the new one, what started out as three characters has now exploded into three times as many. I don't see how they can keep track of so many...

    Where are the older humans?

    Well, let's face it, some of the castmembers have admitted over the years that the budget has always played a factor in their appearances on the show, or lack thereof. I mean, how often do we see all of the humans in the same episode? Usually only for special occasions like season openers or...

    Ice Age: Blue Sky's Answer to Shrek?

    The third movie was okay, but one of my problems with it was it was released pretty much around the same time they came out with that godawful LAND OF THE LOST remake, which made the third Ice Age feel more like it was a dueling movie with LOTL. But I'll agree, Buck stole the show. But as I've...

    Commercial rant time...

    For me it's not even so much a sexual aspect as it is making Selena Gomez seem rather egotistical, narcissistic, and self-interested, kind of like, well, Taylor Swift. It's almost as bad as those commercials we had to put up with a few years ago with the likes of NPH or Jane Lynch, where they...

    Commercial rant time...

    And actually, to make it worse, they're already wearing it out on TV now. I mean, seriously, I've seen this same commercial like half a dozen times in just the past couple of hours or so.
