Well, if anyone remembers the 90's Casper cartoon, it did pretty much borrow Animaniacs style humor and it worked (at least compared to the dreadful classic cartoons). But I agree. But there's a difference between a show with similar humor and a show that tries to be something else. It's like...

YET another Rechov Sumsum...

Lefty is nothing more than a parody of shifty "fell off the back of a truck" salemen that are a staple of old comedic routines. And Sesame Street (at that time) was made of old comedic routines. He's far more of the Rolexxxxxxx watch salesman type, not a drug dealer. It just wouldn't work on...

Spongebob is goofy, idiotic, and pretty juvenile. And loving it. Still, I see why that show is so polarizing. Essentially, it's a less funny version of Rocko's Modern Life (considering the creative forces behind it were former Rocko writers and artists). But I've notices with stuff like...

You're serious? No the problem is they don't appeal to you personally. They have nothing but sly adult humor (I could list too many), their pop culture referencing has to be stealth and sly (Shrek and the Selter/Freiberg movies ruined pop culture humor), and the restrictions of what you can...

Bringing this back to the topic... Like I said, most of the cartoon shows from the 70's can go on this list. It was a dark age of animation. The 80's had most of the same restrictions the 70's shows did, but at least gave us some fun stuff like Inspector Gadget, G.I. Joe (which has a lot...

That depends on the economics of new media. On the one hand, you can pick and choose (to an extent) what you can get. But variety is something that will be controlled by the entertainment industry (Netflix keeps getting titles pulled as a result of wanting more money and exclusive deals), and...

It goes with what I'm always saying about nostalgic cartoon viewers. They always whine about how the previous generation didn't grow up with the oh so special cartoons their generation had (though, utter bullcrap, as most of them have always been rerun somewhere or another). I remember a time...

What makes you think the internet won't? If television programs move to the internet, no doubt there will be more reality TV programming due to the non-union cheapness of the whole deal (I'm not sure how things work for writing for the internet, but that's part of the reason the strike a few...

His schtick was that he was fat and had a squeaky high voice. At least Billy manages to be funny in sitcoms, and he plays off others well. I don't see how Gabriel will work, unless he plays an insufferably hyper squeaky character.

We'll still have television in some degree. It will not be completely phased out, and the internet will be incorporated to some extent. The full scale obsolescence of television, if there is one, won't happen at the end of this year. The technology is there, just not perfected and mainstream...

Ugh. That fat guy who keeps saying how fat he is with that obnoxious squeaky voice?

I was shocked that they're actually the producers of The Goldburgs (one of my favorite new sitcoms of this season). I almost felt like when the AVGN played Maximum Carnage and was shocked to find out LJN made a good game. Only I came to that revelation months before that episode came out...

Something tells me that's intentional. Looks like Remy and Pinky's illegitimate son. Errr... if one was a girl. Maybe Billie instead?

Now that I think about it, it sounds like the film is, at least unintentionally, a knockoff of Over the Hedge. or to some extent, Fantastic Mr. Fox. But that's unavoidable, as this is supposed to be inspired by the Ocean's Eleven type movies or something. Doesn't look great, but not...

Yeah.. and Timmy's Dad and Jorgen. Man, that Darran Norris. Every character he touches turns to freaking comedy gold.

Disney had Star Wars at their theme parks for quite some time. Yet, due to the deal already established with Universal, we're not going to see the Marvel characters over there for quite some time, if any. So it really isn't so much a priority thing. But you have to admit, Star Wars has a much...

In case anyone cares... they had Over the Hedge rebroadcast on ABC. They had MMW Tv sports (the same one, though) during at least 3 commercial breaks. Oddly, considering it's a Dreamworks film, I didn't see a single Peabody and Sherman ad. So, we're on the right start now.

To be fair, a lot of old PG movies were only PG because PG-13 didn't exist. It's jarring to see PG movies that are the equivalent of PG-13, even R movies for the language. I always found it bull when someone puts forth some idiotic study about how PG films are the equivalent of PG-13 and PG-13...

Watch Spaceballs. Then realize it has a PG rating. Be AMAZED! They even let the F word in. As for Ted, it wasn't any raunchier than an Appatow film. Had some very Family Guy-esque offensive humor (but unlike most of the time, it worked)... and you ever been to Boston? I know people like...
