    The Laugh Track Thread

    That and the laughs tend to cover up the best lines half the time. Gah... I think I should know this. I think Fat Albert had a laugh track...no wait. I know it has a laugh track, except for certain TV specials. It works beautifully there.

    Muppets Most Wanted official movie poster released

    Honeydew and The Chef have always been given minor roles. In the first movie, Bunsen Honeydew appeared near the end of the movie for an important plot point involving the "sadly temporary" growth pills. The Chef was the projectionist. The Chef was supposed to have more screen time in The...

    Muppets Most Wanted official movie poster released

    Disney supposedly markets films in house. When they took over the Marvel movies (the ones they had the rights to, anyway) they fired the firm that did the marketing for the others. Their in house firm is that cheap to just drag and drop rather than be a little more innovative with the posters...

    Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy coming back

    I said that exact thing last page. Then of course, there's Robot Chicken and the Creature with the Black Macaroons.

    Am I the only one who likes What's New, Scooby-Doo?

    Muppet Dude really hates it. I'm waiting for his two cents. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo isn't that great, but the villains of the series basically steal the show and are tragically anchored to this series when they could have been great in another show. I gave the series a second look and it's no...

    TV Alert: "Count Tribute" Sesame Street episode in honor of Jerry Nelson airs October 31, 2013

    The new ETM was hardly new. It aired on the previous episode. But as the previous episode was made up of rerun material, I'm guessing not too many cared to tune in to see it.

    Songs You Can't Stand

    Okay... know how I was saying how I hated the Narmy Glowpet commercial music? They made it WORSE! Now it's a march sung by tone deaf kids continuously singing how "Glowpets are Awesome" over and over and over. I haven't seen marketing so aggressively annoying since the Bucky Larson...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    Wouldn't you know? It's November first and the worst Halloween commercial is still on. A local car commercial that goes something like this: "Candy. Everyone loves getting candy. But you're (whatever) dealer would like to give you candy too. Automotive candy, that is." First off, anyone...

    Muppets Most Wanted official movie poster released

    I keep hearing about them constantly firing people in various marketing departments to cut costs. That's probably the reason why we rarely see new photoshoots and poser sources. It is of course cheaper to just reuse stock art. Yet, if they put the effort to make more stock art themselves...

    Am I the only one who likes What's New, Scooby-Doo?

    Muppet Dude's going to have a field day with this one. I liked it and felt it did self satire a LOT better than the first movie did, plus I really dug the episode where, after the old "I would have gotten away with it" spiel, Velm says "technically, you did get away with it."

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    Well, Hannibal also suffers from everyone's remake and sequel fatigue. But that's a different story. The Muppets aren't going to have a big TV show comeback because of these networks. I could see something on The Hub probably sticking around. It's niche enough a channel. ABC Family is...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    "The Words on my coffee cup are RIGHT! It's hard to SOAR with EAGLES when you work with turkeys." That is so the Simpsons-y style of having someone say something in a funny, profound voice.

    When you need to rant...

    I'm furious. Now THIS TV is switching to crappy lipservice TV/EI programming instead of the DIC programming they had just yesterday. They got rid of Inspector Gadget, which is (to me) a crime against humanity to put on an extra terrible movie that no one remembers a day. And guess what they...

    The Laugh Track Thread

    I think you'd like to know that the Laugh Track sitcom is making a strong comeback. Heck, CBS's Monday line up features only laugh track sitcoms, and the only CBS sitcom still running that doesn't have one is Robin Williams's sitcom. And quite frankly, no one needs to tell me when to laugh at...

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    From what I understand, MT had decent enough ratings on Friday Nights, but not as good as Boy Meets World's ratings were, and they just about rushed the thing to Sunday Nights to die against 60 Minutes- the same timeslot that killed Pinky and the Brain in prime time. As I've said before, The...

    Muppets Most Wanted official movie poster released

    I really wish that someone at Disney would accidentally delete all the 1990's poser photo files so they'd be foreced to make new ones. I'm glad there's a new Piggy, Kermit, and Gonzo... how about getting rid of that *&&^% Finger Kiss Chef once and for all.

    The Dance Teacher that Made the kids do it again because he didn't like it...

    Somehow, saying that he wants to be a police officer is the kid's equivalent of saying "Why didn't I become a dentist like mother wanted?"

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

    Yet, it is also nigh on impossible to get jobs there because that's where everyone goes.

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    I'm actually mixed about the human interaction in TM. Seems like whatever else that would have built the characters better up was tossed along with all the cut scenes. I really think Disney lost a HUGE opportunity to release either a Donner cut or a special feature of all the deleted sequences...

    TV Alert: "Count Tribute" Sesame Street episode in honor of Jerry Nelson airs October 31, 2013

    Considering they aired it on this episode, there's no doubt that the Mr. Johnson statue in Repair Monster the Musical was a tribute to Jerry. I wonder if that giant statue of Snuffy getting stuck in the Arc de Triumph in Les Mouserables was one too, considering that while Jerry originated the...
