    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    Well remember, back then, networks actually gave shows a chance in the beginning: they'd typically air the entire season and wait to see by the end of the season if the numbers/ratings were good enough to warrant renewing for another season. As opposed to today, where if networks feel a show...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    My gosh, this thing looks like something you'd see on ROBOT CHICKEN: Even all the comments are like, "Aww, I thought this would be a cute kids/Disney movie, but. . . ." Granted, the animation is really spectacular and all, but this is like if Black Friday reel of the original TOY STORY had a...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    Lucky guess. Actually, I'm quite fascinated by tornadoes, so I'm familiar enough the area of the country they refer to as Tornado Alley. Matter of fact, I'm aware that the exact same suburbs of Oklahoma City got hit with an outbreak of severe tornadoes (including funnels that reached EF5) in May...

    The Best CGI Films in Recent Memory... And more

    I can agree, WALL*E is a virtual showcase of Pixar eye candy, and has some of the most beautiful animation I've ever seen: you really can't go wrong when you set an animated adventure in space . . . same with FINDING NEMO for it's time: the underwater animation was absolutely stunning. THE...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I don't know why, but that had me in stitches! :laugh: Lemme guess, if the tornado drill was statewide, you must live in Tornado Alley?

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    Yeah, I believe one of the husbands was a druggie off camera, and it lead to him being replaced by the guy who played Fred Rutherford on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER ("Ward, ol' boy!") and Mel Cooley on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW. Like I said, really, my main problem with the show was it had a formulaic...

    The Muppet Show Season 1-3 releasing 3/15/16

    I doubt it. A lot of shows have been doing this lately, where they'll rerelease multiple seasons in one set, and that appears to be what Disney is doing with TMS.

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    Whoopi, unfortunately, isn't a big draw anymore like she was 20 years ago when she used to be an A-lister, despite her long history with both the Classic Muppets and SST. And please, no more NPH - enough of him, please.

    Time for Yet ANOTHER Reboot

    This time, XENA: THE WARRIOR PRINCESS is being rebooted. Not surprising in this day and age of rehashes, reboots, remakes, and so on and so forth, because we all know Hollywood is out of original ideas, but here's the thing: you know the main reason why Xena is getting a reboot? Just so they...

    Just made a Puppet building tutorial!

    Sorry, folks. I know a lot of you say it's best to sew the head fabric to the mouth fabric, then glue the mouth fabric to the mouthplate and invert the fabric over the foam skull to fabricate the head . . . I did that with three different puppets, and the results were awful: the mouth fabric...

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    And part of the problem too, as with a lot of shows in their earlier seasons, is that network scrutiny was so heavy - the network wanted to make sure people watching knew M*A*S*H was a sitcom, while the producers and writers wanted the show to have a level of seriousness from the get-go, which...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    David, like a lot of them, has a really unique and distinct visual style that it's pretty much unmistakable when you see something from him, such as those Cheetos commercials: And even those Kid Cuisine commercials: Heck, take at look at 0:35 - 0:44 and just tell me if he didn't animated...

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    A lot of shows that struggled in their first seasons (some of which were even on the verge of cancelation) ended up going on to become some of the most long-running and culturally significant shows in TV history, including M*A*S*H (11 seasons, 1972-1983), CHEERS (11 seasons, 1982-1993), and...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Ah well. Either way, I just recently subscribed (yeah, I know I'm late to the party) and have been going through all the classic episodes you have, and it's been absolutely wonder seeing what you have, keep it up!

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Yeah, they did. There was an episode where they both quit their jobs to go into business for themselves running a roadside diner; this is confirmed when both Wilma and Betty call up Fred and Barney's respective employers and learn of their quitting. Not sure if this counts since it might be a...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    I just happened to think: wasn't there, at one point, like an extra crunchy Pebbles cereal? I seem to recall a commercial involving a high school geography student explaining what caused the great continental divide, and it apparently was the result of Fred and Barney eating said extra crunchy...

    The Nostalgia Critic Thread Lives Again!

    Heck, check it out, Channel Awesome recently released a blooper reel from NC's FTB review: I honestly wondered how many takes it took for him to get that mouthful right.

    I Ain't Doing It!

    Re-reading some of the older posts in this thread, this had me laughing; makes me sound like Eustace from Courage always dying, getting eaten, getting zapped, getting abducted, or something in every episode, then back to normal the next. I guess TV Tropes is right: Satus Quo is God.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    @hooperfan Does your arsenal happen to include Episodes 2821 and 2822? I haven't seen them but I'd really like to see how they compare to the later hurrican saga of Season 32.

    Episodes that Have Stuck with You

    I seem to recall an episode that's buried deep within my subconscience involving Telly and Oscar hanging around the trashcan with a stylized stop sign . . . and it's not Episode #2073, because that was before my time, and I haven't seen it on Noggin (SSU was always way past my bedtime).
