    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    As I said previously, we need another movie, if only because it goes with the traditional pattern of Muppet movies always coming in threes: the movies Jim did came in three (TMM, GMC, MTM), the theatrical movies post-Jim came in three (MCC, MTI, MFS), the millennial TV movies came in three (KSY...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    You'd be surprised how many Ho Yay shippers there are out there. There's a lot of fans out there who ship Arthur and Buster hard, lol. I personally can't help but ship Prunella and Marina just a lil' . . . they're clearly written for each other. XD Greg Bailey once explained that the show is...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    So, remember what Drtooth was saying about how bad the character designers at 9 Story have been with the celebrity guest stars? The M.C. guy was the worst yet . . . creepiest-looking design ever on this show . . . the detailed eyes with irises and such just don't fit well in this show's overall...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Well, it's kind of like how last year when T Mobile (or Verizon . . . or Sprint . . . or whoever it was) used Rick Astley in their commercials, suddenly Rickroll videos all over YouTube (including mine) were being blocked in the U.S. and its surrounding territories because of it. Even before...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    Getting back to the subject of FROZEN, it would seem that even Idina Menzel is now jumping on board with the campaign to make Elsa a lesbian and give her a lover in the sequel, even saying Disney needs to just do it and deal with it.

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    So what's the deal with this: you've got a new show getting ready to premiere for the first time, right? But, at the same time, the promos for the show also advertise itself as this: "on an all new season!" That indicates that the show's already been on for a while. So, what's the deal with...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    That's . . . what I've been saying about the show ever since they announced that's the format the show was going to go with. My argument was that the format has been played to the point that it's as much of a gimmick to TV that 3D became to movies for a while, and as such, it felt like having...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    GLEE still gets to me, because it was canceled and then uncanceled at least a couple of times, one of which was because the castmember who had died, so they decided to uncancel the show just to do a farewell episode for his character . . . I mean, what other show has ever done anything like...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    That's the problem with all shows today: networks expect a new show to literally be an instant hit overnight, and if it isn't, two episodes later, you're yanked off the air. At least back in those days, networks would often wait until the end of the season to look at the numbers and ratings to...

    The Chipmunks

    Knowing that the Chipmunks were named after record producers Ross Sr. knew, I always wondered if the Chipettes were named after anybody in particular, and according to Munkpedia, Brittany apparently was: they had a studio singer named Brittany, and considering that Janice liked the name, and...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    That was one of the reasons M*A*S*H did so poorly in its first season - in addition to the main cast of six (at the time), there was about a dozen or more supporting characters, most of which were written out by the second season.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Dilly finally posted a teaser from his upcoming short GOOSE WITH HIGH HEELS: While this isn't his first time using Flash, this is his first all-Flash short, and just looking at this brief teaser makes me wonder: if one independent animator, with little experience with Flash, can churn out...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4620 - Hooper's Lockdown

    Really good episode: anything with Grover screwing things up as a major plot device gets extra points from me. The concern over Cookie eating Alan's birthday cake was very reminiscent of the 1991 special BIG BIRD'S BIRTHDAY, OR LET ME EAT CAKE. The running gag of Chris being chased by the...

    R.I.P. Alan Young

    Tidbit trivia: Alan Young was from Scotland (Alan Young wasn't his birth name), and even though he was able to do a convincing American accent, when voicing Uncle Scrooge, he was using his natural Scotish accent.

    He wasn't the voice of Mr. Ed, he played Wilbur, who owned Mr. Ed.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Remember what I've said before about there seeming to be some sort of an unwritten rule that all animated movies now have to include SNL castmembers doing voices? Well, surprise, surprise, that SAUSAGE PARTY movie is no exception: once again, we've got the mandatory inclusion of Bill Hader and...

    DREW CAREY: Welcome to WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? The show where everything's made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are just like Canadian history books. KATHY GREENWOOD: Ha, ha, ha. COLIN MOCHRIE: (Beat) Heh, heh, heh.
