    The Most Annoying Kids Shows

    Oh definitely. Wubzy is a breath of fresh air with it's sly humor and it's general playing like a TV cartoon show instead of a wanna be computer game. It really stands out in a field of lame Dora-esque shows. And I can't get enough of that kid that says "KOooOOOOoooKY!"

    When you need to rant...

    Worse things happen other times of the year, but it gets a blurb on the local news (local of the store where the stuff goes down), if anything. I remember 2 incidents here of homemade bombs being found near 2 different Kohls, and thy didn't even get a follow up. It's yet another case of the...

    Major Family Guy Character Killed Off

    Kenny of South Park. All I can say. And YES That character was killed off for real in a dramatic fashion, and then came back for no reason.

    International skits on Youtube...

    Oh lord... Kermit's Spanish voice. Nothing could prepare me for that. So, Gustavo the Frog over there is a chain smoking, washed up ladies man I take it.

    Have You Seen the Cast in Other Projects?

    Gedde Watanabe was all over the 80's, man... He was one of the 3 go to actual Japanese guys to be in something that needed a Japanese guy, the other two being Sab Shimono (Uncle on Jackie Chan Adventures) and Pat Morita. Lest we forget, he was also in UHF where he delivered the immortal line...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I must ask... is a Muppet movie actually a true case of the Muppets playing themselves? There's never been any continuity until now, and there are cases where the Muppets are playing themselves playing themselves. Like MTM, where they play themselves, but in a completely different continuity...

    The Most Annoying Kids Shows

    And they already had a pink Muppet on the show, performed by Fran no less. Barney is essentially the clean, shiny, safe, suburban answer to Sesame Street. That's the thing that gets to me. It goes almost out of it's way to speak to the more well to do kids when, at the heart of Sesame...

    The Most Annoying Kids Shows

    I honestly never understood why Barney and Sesame Street had to compete. They were on the same network. Unless you had 2 PBS stations where they aired opposite each other (not in my area, though I have 2 PBS stations), the only "competition" was popularity and consumption of merchandise... and...

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

    Kohls must have some special deal with the show. They have all this annoying Duck Dynasty stuff everywhere. But at least it's not the Kardassmastersons or whatever they are. At least the Duck guys made something of themselves and worked to get where they are. The Kardashians are only popular...

    Major Family Guy Character Killed Off

    The one thing I actually liked was when the writers became aware of that, and played with those aspects and slapped them back in his face. His breakdown on the Bill Maher show and his confession of wanting to commit suicide were pretty character building sequences. Then of course, Quagmire's...

    When you need to rant...

    Let's just say the real problem is BOTH the stores and the customers. The bargains actually aren't bad, but they're certainly nothing worth camping out for. Those people only camp out for the completely understocked TV's that are only for the first 100 customers. Most everything else is just...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Ehhh... that looks more unremarkable than flat out bad. It's disappointing that this came from the same studio that does one of my favorite new cartoon series, Bolts & Blip. I swear I posted this, but I found this on TV tropes a little while back. So it could be worse... the "genius" behind...

    Major Family Guy Character Killed Off

    The funny thing is that Family Guy became a means to vent against Bush Era policies and the people who elected them, American Dad started losing it's political edge and became a superior program and almost what Family Guy used to be. As for Brian, they thankfully stopped using him to rant and...

    Your Thoughts: Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular on ABC

    The more I think about this, the more I think this was a Lady Gaga special that they just incorporated the Muppets in last minute. For one thing, a 90 minute TV slot is pretty awkward and unusual... especially for a network time slot. That's probably why nothing meshed. It probably wasn't...

    Your Thoughts: Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular on ABC

    I agree more to the school of thought that the special was alright with it's moments. I did like the Muppet segments, as segregated as they were. And frankly, it wasn't as bad as sitting through terrible country musicians all singing about sex in front of kids in teddy bear costumes to see the...

    Your Thoughts: Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular on ABC

    You clearly didn't see the bloopers at the end of the special. Pepe was there. Kermit was also there during the musical number. But the Muppets were very obviously green screened in post during one number.

    Is there going to be a sequel to Labyrinth?

    Oldish thread but... Is there really need for one? Debatable. Unless you just want a direct continuation of Jareth and Sarah's relationship, I'd say they said all they needed to say in the first one. What drives me absolutely mad is when fans of a certain movie want a sequel so bad...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I managed to track down another episode that doesn't air in the US for 6 months... Brain Freeze is awesome. If there's an episode to look forward to, it's that one. It's one of the funniest episodes I've seen in a while.

    TV Alert: Sesame Street and Jimmy Fallon at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade November 28

    I'd say it's disappointing, but I'd tend to think it was just stupid not to have the balloon of the movie that you're trying to promote. But at least they kept the Buzz Lightyear balloon to promote... the Halloween special that aired over a month ago. :rolleyes: I'm also disappointed the...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Sounds like they're trying too hard not to shake things up too much to conflict with the movies. Like they're too careful or something. But that's just the problem with these cartoon adaptions of movies. They never give the adaption any credit and refuse to believe they exist. Any character...
