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

    I wonder if this was a recording of another sketch that was repurposed into The Count's dialogue. It really seems like it could have been.

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    MWO had "tributes" (if you want to call it that, rather than kinda swiping from) to the MGM film and The Wiz, and supposedly it was true to the book in some places. Then again, Wizard of Oz lives eternally in the shadow of of the 1939 MGM movie that any adaption other than it...even ones that...

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

    Actually, I kinda wish they'd put some segment with one of Jerry's characters in it, old or new (most likely new)... but then again, we got new segments instead of a bunch of reruns, so I can't complain. The more I think about it (and let's not forget that they had one of Jerry's characters...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    It's be great if they actually did a new theme song for that season. The homunculus Zoe that's still present in the current one is an embarrassment.

    TV Alert: The Count on Katie October 31, 2013

    They didn't really let him do much, and he was shoved at the end... but you've got to love how enthusiastic the little kids were... even if that Spider-Man kid thought he was Oscar.

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

    Still, you have to wonder if "I didn't like it" would have sounded better had he said "you can do better" after that.

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

    I Barely get it. I barely understand that it's the reference The Tick villain"El Seed" is making. Hey, Ed... just wondering if you thought the fact that they referenced Telly's impersonation of the Count as "Ed Count" was a weird co-incidence.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I just picked up IDW's Bebop and Rocksteady spotlight issue. I always did like the characters (yet didn't miss them in 2K3), but I honestly feel the writers just liked writing for dumb guys instead of keeping their initial appearances as kinda stupid, but a genuine threat. Lots of wasted...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    There's another thread for the tribute, so I'll just cut to the not sadly beautiful moments of the show. If Hank Azaria doesn't do any of those Muppet impersonations on upcoming Simpsons episodes, it's a real loss. Still... "Big Bird in China? Won't Grover get lonely? Naw, he's with Derek...

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

    Lemme say this. As someone who just cannot get through the Jim Henson tribute past the Marching Accountant Society bit, I get pretty emotional during these things and hope that there's a lot more yukks than tearful moments. This episode was absolutely wacky and funny, and I had a ball with...

    Marcia Wallace voice of Edna Krabappel passes away

    That's the problem. Either she sounds different, or there's a huge chasm that has to be filled by another character. Something us Muppet fans should know. Best thing they can do is reduce her to an offscreen character and have the relationship with Ned still on, just... well... like Marris...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    Freakin' heck, man. Can't you Christmas advertisements wait until freaking November 1st?!?! I mean really. I've seen, like, what... like 4 Halloween commercials, 2 of them were recycled (Kit Kat and M&M's... reused all the way back in the full frame TV days), and then there's that AT&T or...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    When the heck did they do that, as it's always been the exact same theme song since the show's beginning? I've seen every episode up until the ones that don't start until 2 weeks, and the only change I've seen was the opening being reanimated to fit the widescreen picture. The Simpsons changed...

    Muppets Most Wanted official movie poster released

    Sad thing is... it's an improvement. And sadder thing is, Disney can totally use the same old Henson era stock photos if it wants to... Pepper shirt Gonzo and MTM DVD covers abound!

    Muppets Most Wanted official movie poster released

    It's relatively new clip art, actually. Clip art they've actually made with the posers, versus the old 1990's stock pictures we all hate. That's essentially the only credit I give them for. It's not bad for what it is, but it's not that great either. Then again, why the heck aren't they...

    Marcia Wallace voice of Edna Krabappel passes away

    Well, it seems they're going to do the "respectful" thing and retire the character. Pfft. Best of luck with that. No matter what they do, they're going to look like jerks whatever they do to Ned. As far as Bart's teacher goes... are they just going to come up with a Replacement Scrappy, or...

    Muppets Most Wanted official movie poster released

    No, because teaser posters are usually even lamer than regular posters. I'd say a Teaser poster would possibly be that Kermitified M with a "2014" under it against the white plain backdrop. I hope other theater promotional stuff is more inspired. Like little wanted posters of the characters...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Clip converter had to have changed in the last couple days. They still had all the options Sunday. Now the thing I'm currently working on might be ruined, but I was going to use mostly recycled footage anyway.
