    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    ARTHUR kind of had more guts back in those day than it does now . . . but then again, some people actually feel that way about SST too: look at clips from the 70s on YouTube and just see how many comments there are from people who are like, "OMG! Litter on the sidewalk? Cigar boxes in Hooper's...

    The Muppets Episode 16 - Because...Love

    Okay, so see everybody? I'm not the only one who feels like this show could have and should have gone in a different direction. And thank you, finally somebody whoi agrees with me about the mockumentary angle. It doesn't work for television, it just doesn't: movies are okay, such as those old...

    ACE WORRELL: King Kong, a big monkey - a monkey, mind you - is sitting on top of the Empire State Building. Our Empire State Building! The one in New York City, I've been there! And, he's got a girl. CADET: A girl? You mean like a girl back home? ACE WORRELL: I'm saying he's got a girl, and it's...

    Grover on Stephen Colbert

    That's so far the only thing that's been worth watching on THE LATE SHOW since Colbert took over.

    The Muppets Episode 16 - Because...Love

    True, but the major difference between TMS and this show was that Jim and his team were given the creative freedom to do what they wanted: they established the Muppets' signature brand of humor and heart that set them apart from anything else that was on TV - back in the days where creative...

    Little things we've noticed

    I'm sure he did, Caroll has mentioned that he and Jim developed a true friendship, and often times whenever Jim needed to take a break from whatever projects he was working on, he would usually call up Caroll and his wife Debbie and they'd usually go have dinner, go see a movie, or just sit...

    The Muppets Episode 16 - Because...Love

    That's what I'm saying: I can see in the reviews since the soft reboot that things have evidentally improved, and should the show be renewed for a second season, then hopefully things will continue to improve and that could further turn it into a better show.

    The Muppets Episode 16 - Because...Love

    One who treasures and cherishes the characters, the franchise as a whole, the people who have been involved with it in making them what they've meant to us for so long, and when I feel like choices are being made that aren't necessarily what seem like the best route to go with for them, then I'm...

    The Muppets Episode 16 - Because...Love

    Style and genres are two different things: genres are comedy, drama, action/adventure, horror/thriller, what have you; style is what you do with it. Did I "bash it endlessly"? I think not. Did I voice my opinions and concerns a number of times? Yes. But when's the last time I "bashed" the show...

    The Muppets Episode 16 - Because...Love

    So now that this season is over, I'm going to say that I have not watched this show at all, as there was nothing about it that was luring me in or begging for my attention. Even before the show went on, I had one strike against it: bringing in people from THE OFFICE, THE BIG DANG THEORY, and...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    I remember there was an oddity that both PPG and EEE shared when they first started airing: for some reason, CN aired their second episodes first, then their first episodes second. Interestingly enough though, CN and Danny have different orders for the episodes, so in actuality, the first two...

    So Johnn, Dexter, Samurai Jack, and Grim are the only good CN shows that are getting these things?

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Same here, which is why if there's plans for a big breakfast, I really need advanced notice (at least the night before) so I can mentally prepare my stomach for it, otherwise, if I suddenly have to eat a big breakfast when I'm so accustomed to eating cereal for breakfast, I go into Filburt mode...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Well, fittingly, the remaining unaired episodes will finally air the last week of May. I'm still interested in seeing this infamous "Maria Speaks" episode, not because of the obsession with the character (which I still don't quite understand why so many people are so obsessed with her), but...

    Little things we've noticed

    Yes, well, Caroll admitted what his real problem was were those synchronized production numbers and that trying to move in synch with the others was a hang-up for him, hence why after the first season he began doing Big Bird and Oscar almost exclusively because he just simply worked better that...

    Little things we've noticed

    As much as Jim innovated the idea of lip-syncing by keeping the four fingers as still as possible and moving just the thumb, I've come to notice there seems to be a period in the early 70s where his work is a little off and the puppets he performers move their skulls a little too much when...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Another thing I find odd about cereal commercials is towards the end, when they show the cereal is "part of a complete/nutritious/balanced/whatever breakfast," they usually include a glass of orange juice and/or a glass of milk with the cereal. Now the orange juice I can understand, I know for a...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    I know Cocoa Krispies is just another flavor of Rice Krispies with Snap, Crackle, and Pop as the mascots, but didn't Cocoa Krispies used to be its own separate brand? I seem to recall so as a kid and that they used a monkey for the mascot.
