    The Most Annoying Kids Shows

    I'm going to add Jay Jay the Jet Plane. Why... why do the planes all look like they have the face of a morbidly obese Jimmy Neutron? Uncanny Valley is almost a compliment. I have a Thomas the Tank Engine bias, so I just don't dig these knockoff shows. They're poorly done and poor...

    Everything is Racist

    THAT's what I've been saying. These Trojan Horse stories that are posted by actual racists or Godwin's law loving right wingers who want to make sure their base is all angry and fired up over nothing. Again, this story about racist peanut butter is hokum, hooey, hogwash, bullcrap, bullplop...

    Video: "1D Day" with One Direction, The Muppets and more Saturday November 23

    I refer to what Sgt Floyd said in the original thread. I hate One Direction. I hate their music, I hate the whole drippy tweeny bopper fan base crap like that gets, and I've hated these things since New Kids on the Block. BUT the Muppets are branching out to other fanbases out there, and if...

    Muppets Most Wanted Poster (UK and Ireland)

    I feel I have to say this, but this poster is better for not being loaded with Muppets, and having only the key characters. The thing that I really am starting to dislike about the American poster is the fact the characters are all jumbled together in a corner, segregated from the human...

    Muppets Appearing in One Direction Live Stream Special

    As much as I hate One Direction, I could care less. If we want the next movie to be successful (therefore proving the franchise is successful, apparently one movie doesn't do it anymore), Disney is going to have to do some serious publicity. And that's going to be with crap popular celebrities...

    Muppets Most Wanted Poster (UK and Ireland)

    We can complain about the posers they used, or we can look at the bigger picture. This is not only a far better poster, but a MUCH better concept that should have been our poster, but we had to accentuate the celebrity co-stars. THIS looks like what the movie is about, this is far more...

    Everything is Racist

    On the subject of racist, check out this McDonald's ad from the 80's It's just hilariously bad. On the one thing, it's another case of not knowing the difference between China and Japan since apparently they're the same country. The music is clearly Japanese sounding, even the guy eating...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    I'm glad they're finally catching up with the comic book series. There were so many delays, and 2 months went by without a single issue. They're supposed to be on number 8 by now, but they're only up to number 6.

    Worst/creepiest puppets/puppeteer work

    Wow... just... just Wow... 2 oven mitts talk about not knowing what a sandwich is. Words escape me. And what's with that verbal tic of going "whachahatcha?"

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    Budget wise, I think they have to. I really do not like the idea of making that many episodes 2 years in advance, especially since it takes months to air the full season of 26 episodes. Not every reference is going to be timeless to begin with, but they luck out of something is a big cultural...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    Considering where I watch Regular Show, I thought it was a bad file. The colors didn't really bug me as much as the fact that it looked like... how do I explain this... Anyone who's ever used MS paint or some other digital art program and the tolerance is low (or can't be changed) how when...

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    I rolled my eyes at the concept, but the Grouch angle intrigues me. Maybe I have a Grouch bias or something, but it seems like it's going to fun if anything. And it probably will be dated due to the fact they're hitting these pop culture bits when they're still ripe when the show is in...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Here's that cartoon from yesterday's episode about the kids standing in line That kid with the mouth on the side of his head makes me laugh.

    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official US and International Trailers On-line

    It's a trope that far predates that Garfield film (which in turn was stolen from The Prince and the Pauper). Knowing the Muppets, they're going to play with the concept. They did explore this to some extent in the comics with Kismet the Toad in "The Treasure of Peg Leg Wilson." Actually, if...

    Everything is Racist

    Sometimes I don't know what's worse. Internet News Stories or the wider television and print media. Except of course for that fact that these so called "trusted" and "real" news sources read the blurbs of these non-news stories posted on random blogs and present them as actual news. That...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    There was some stop motion sequence about the number 6 with a Chef making burgers for six kids... and somehow, it had almost a Coraline-ish look to it. At least with the Chef who had this purple angular handlebar mustache. Well, Cookie is a regular character and it's normal to see him on the...

    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official US and International Trailers On-line

    You lost me on TMNT II. It's certainly more kid friendly, and Tokka and Rahzar were awesome... but there's just so many things wrong with that film. I'd say the first TMNT movie was one of the best comic book movies ever made (especially in that era), but the second one tried too hard to be...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    Compared to most appearances, it doesn't seem any worse than something done in early Muppet Show episodes. I agree that they go for that overly caricatured version of the Piggy/Kermit relationship (which is why I'll defend to the death how it was handled in The Muppets), but this seems to be...

    The Most Annoying Kids Shows

    A year or so ago, I went to this special Author Speech Engagement (or something like that) and the Author was Marc Brown. I remember that he said it took forever to get an Arthur cartoon off the ground because he got the "best cartoon writers in the business" and they absolutely had no clue how...
