    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    YES! Yes to all of that. From what I understand one of the creators was gay, so I guess there was some N word privileges there... but it just translates into the obnoxious, cartoony stereotype that homophobes love to drag out to laugh at/make an example of. I give you credit for being brave...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Usually when Frank does a role on the show, we hear about it well in advance. He has performed some of his characters, but it seems he's utilized more in parody sequences. Now what I want to know is Steve's availability. We don't see Ernie and Bert too often these days. Sometimes Bert. A...

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

    I really hate how Happy Endings never got the audience it deserved. If nothing else for having one of the least stereotypical gay character I've ever seen. Someone who's so beyond the stereotype, he's the stereotype of a straight single guy. Perfect subversion. Effeminacy is also the...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    Will and Grace isn't a annoying show because the characters are gay. Will and Grace is a terrible show because it's an annoying show with annoying, obnoxious loud characters. If they made a show about someone squeaking Styrofoam for a half hour, it would be less grating. And this is coming from...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I doubt it for 2 reasons... None of these Hunger Games/Harry Potter/Twilight type movies that aren't the originals always fail. Plus, I've never heard of Divergent. More popular than Hunger Games? I've never heard anyone even mention that before. Heck... I haven't seen a trailer. Still, I...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    Most annoying television live action not kid's program? Will and Grace. An unfunny, loud jumble of bad forced pop culture jokes and puns about the characters being gay delivered by loud, obnoxious, screaming actors that make a Butch Hartman cartoon look like a Ben Stein lecture. The show...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    They have a lot of female performers on staff. No need to go back to the first-third season of having the few Puppeteers on staff take on many roles. Plus, I'd tend to think if Leslie had to loop dialogue for Judy, she was probably performed by a male puppeteer anyway.

    Sesame Street Overload!

    Now that I think of it, there's nothing but disturbing looking things in this advert. The empty count puppet look like that really ugly ersatz Count from the last (and terrible) MadTV Sesame Street skit. The Big Bird plush is hideous and he has T-Rex arms. The position of the cookie on the...

    Questions about anything

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Forget whining about Fox News, the real evil cable channel that's warping the minds of everyone who watches is TLC. Nothing but freak shows and the worst of humanity. Where someone barely weighing 700 pounds is considered "Half Ton" and drug out...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    They probably weren't on set that day or left or something. I dunno... something about this episode just seemed overall like they were trying to rush everything out at the end of the day. The story was weak, the songs were meh, there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm on everyone involved...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    HEY! Super Healthy Monsters is finally coming to the US. The skits look funny enough when they were dubbed. Much better than the hamfisted attempts they tried several years back. I applaud the effort and all, but it still doesn't get to the cultural roots of the problem, nor the systems in...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Eh, I really should see more adult oriented movies like that, but I can't help get more excited for Lego, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, and the very obvious one that need not be mentioned on this site.

    Sesame Street Overload!

    And I never liked that Cookie Monster piano. It somehow haunted my dreams when I was younger. Thank frog I never had it.

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

    I've noticed that problem all over TVTropes. Posters that don't know the difference between getting crap past the radar and looking for crap in a crapless place. Apparently, they pushed the envelope on Goof Troop because Pete pronounced cement "SEE-Ment" instead of "seh-MENT" the preferred...

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

    That's a pretty obvious and weak interpretation of the character to just say "she's gay" and leave it at that. Above all, she's clearly some sort of homage to Rhoda,as the Channel 6 News Team clearly homages Mary Tyler Moore.... Mr. Thompson/Mr. Grant, Vernon/Ted... My interpretation is that...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    I found the whole thing lacking in effort, honestly. The only thing I can use to explain it are those lame episodes of the original TMNT from the 3rd season where they just recycled the "Shredder and Krang find an alien technology" plot with similar annoying alien characters... you know, to...

    Muppets Most Wanted Poster (UK and Ireland)

    It looks no worse (heck, better) than the crappy Pokemon-esque The Muppets poster which was a copy of an equally misguided Toy Story 3 poster (which frankly resembled their merchandising push). It's a shame the ruined a pretty good poster with that generic blank background (which is all the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Nothing illustrates these points like today's episode. Leslie played both Judy and Abby. I'd say this is pretty hard evidence they only employ a certain number of performers based on who's available on those days of shooting. But other than that, I just don't know what to make of this one...
