    Sesame Street moved to 3:00 PM on Sprout

    Like I've said like millions of times before, I just don't get these 24/7 preschool channels. I don't see why they can't put classic programming late at night, and the "midnight feedings" excuse is a flimsy one. Meanwhile, the Nick Jr. Channel cuts to their famous Drunken Mommy "WOOOO" Girls...

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

    And it's not just one commercial. If it was one, I wouldn't notice or care. But there's just so many of them. The only one that kinda makes sense is a Progresso ad where "OH" is an actual tagline they keep repeating "OH!" As in OH, look at how little calories this thing has per serving and...

    Muppets Most Wanted Poster (UK and Ireland)

    Now that's what they should have done right there. It looks much better without that sad, white, empty space. Even with the overused stock photos.

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    I'll have to say, it's a shame that AKOM's Muppet Babies episodes were so sloppy, since most of the time they do a very good job. Other than the fact that certain things were beyond their control of not translating well into animation with the Fraggle Rock cartoon, it was overall much better...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I'd bet it's just because it's a smaller, independent studio and they're just calling it a win. Any other studio would call it a flop and move on. Even it's standing as a meh performing film owes itself to the luck of being the only animated Family film other than Frozen, which has been out...

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

    Actually, you know what I don't get? How come so many commercials lately have a soundtrack of some pixie voiced waif of a woman going repeatedly singing "oh oh oh OH?" It's becoming oh oh oh obnoxious.

    Muppets Most Wanted Poster (UK and Ireland)

    ..or we could muster an ounce of maturity and stop overreacting to it and realize that modern movie posters suck overall.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    There's that, apparently. A "week" (3 out of 5) "new" (1 actual, 2 recycled) episodes as a shoddy tie in for the Olympics. And forgive me, I just have to... "VINTER SCHPORT! VINTER SCHPORT!"

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

    I like how they tend to think the M&M's commercial with the nasty new Brown M&M tricks the Red one into going home with a voracious chocolate eater as rape as well. How so? Red was willing to go, so technically it can't be rape (which is forced and unwanted). It's a dark example of self...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    There's a good reason for that. They didn't exist yet! :halo: The founders of that studio were working for everyone else at the time. Now, that's not to say certain Tiny Toons episodes animated by Kennedy that didn't have their charm. If anything, that episode where Plucky was in the...

    Muppets Most Wanted Merchandise Thread

    While I luckily still have one, I'll feel everyone else's pain right here. I HATE the economics of mall ownership. They have these insanely high rents and even more insane long term leases that scare off businesses. And that's why you'll oddly see high end chains like Forever XXI right next...

    Muppets Most Wanted Poster (UK and Ireland)

    Making something an issue of if fans can do better is always a non-starter. It's always correct, but there's a lot of levels of insane dedication fans will go to that just can't be match by barely enthusiastic marketing departments. And any non-employee or not famous fan involvement is...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Seriously, what is up with that? Are they trying to stock pile skits or something to use one or two a year? They've become, I'd say, like half the animation studios and networks that run them. Going around the world first and getting to the US last. Something I wouldn't doubt will happen to...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    It wasn't so much Marvel. They were the production company. The true problem was the outsourcing to the animation studio TOEI. And even without the American cartoon productions, they had lots of their own series at the time. Marvel may have been short handed on oversight, but the true...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    Back on subject, while I won't say that Live with Michael and Kelly is that annoying a show, they have the most annoying promos I've ever seen. Every time I catch one, I cringe for at least 5 minutes.

    More New Disney Store Muppet Merch

    I want that Chef most of all. The Chef, Rowlf, and Constantine. Maybe the figure set, though I'd be buying extras... I'd rather get the Phineas and Ferb or Monsters U ones, though.

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    If only that encouraged kids to be active. The closest workout half those kids got was working up their thumbs playing those Tony Hawk Playstation games. All this fuss about cartoon characters on junk food wrappings, and not once did anyone call out all the high sugar worse junk food we don't...

    Sesame Street moved to 3:00 PM on Sprout

    Dude... I used to have Sesame Street airing at 5 or 6 PM (can't remember which, I think it was 6, now that I remember it)... THAT was epic right there.

    Muppets Tonight what went wrong?

    Kermit was in that weird phase where he wasn't being used much. I don't see why there wasn't more Gonzo, but he had his fair share of screen time. Oddly enough, I do consider most of the new characters the show's greatest assets. To the point where some of the older characters used weren't...

    Muppets Tonight what went wrong?

    The show's situation was unfortunately tuned to having to go around the deaths of Jim and Richard and the less than available. That left to an uneven mix of new characters that either were really good or flat and terrible. But what the real problem comes down to is that they didn't play with...
