    Is Abby's Flying Fairy School on it's way out?

    Exactly. Dump it or make new ones. Same with Super Grover 2.0. Making Abby a daily rotation thing was not the best move they could have made. It's not a bad segment at all, but you can only hear the same Zha Zha Gabor reference so many times before it stops being funny.

    No Sesame classic clips at all before 2008

    I watch for the new material. All 11 minutes of it.... :sigh: On the one hand, there's enough platforms to watch the older material on to never need to watch the show for those segments ever again. This isn't the horrible 90's-early 00's era where you had to buy half hour video tapes for...

    Is Abby's Flying Fairy School on it's way out?

    They have stopped production on it because, for the most part, it wasn't exactly a cheap segment. Had it been, we'd certainly not have to have sit through the same episodes 3 times in a single season the time it premiered. Seriously, this whole "CGI is a cheap substitute for ______" is bull...

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

    Well, take into account that the original Pinocchio was actually a series of stories anyway. Very dark stories indeed, and Disney managed to take only the major points that would work for the narrative of a movie. So that's why it seems a little disjointed.

    Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy coming back

    Frankenberry is one of the staple three. They always had that one around. It's pretty good, a second favorite of the main three for me. But I don't quite remember what Berry berry Kix used to taste like (only had it once, didn't quite like it) to compare either Frankenberry or Frute Brute to it...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    You know the old wive's tale about razor blades in candy? A father did that to his own child, and not one of the neighborhood residents. Checking candy seems almost completely pointless now. Of course, I'd tend to think that any poison you could put it would be neutralized by the chemicals...

    The Chipmunks

    I like the character designs, but i'm just wondering about the animation. Looks like it could wind up similar to how Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood does. I'm not huge into that style of Faux CGI flash.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Awesome... but it's more fun to talk about something truly awful than something great. Here's something... Remember the Freaky Flickers trailer I posted a few pages back? Apparently, it never existed in a situation eerily similar to Foodfight. The hard drive was stolen, but unlike Foodfight...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    If the show didn't have the Muppets, it wouldn't have been as well known. In fact, I doubt it would have had much impact and would have lasted, and I'm being generous here, about 6 years tops. Any of the Muppet nay sayers at CTW would later eat crow, as those very same Muppets are essentially...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Surprisingly not half bad. I'd almost actually watch that. Even the juvenile gags are less juvenile than that Turkey thing. I can't say I ever cared for the look of those movies. I do like how the Wolf looks, but the humans are kinda off. I still haven't actually seen the first one, yet...

    When you need to rant...

    Not so much as not as bad, but bad in different ways. But the one thing that really gets under my skin is the whole Nanny state crap about junk foods and beverages above 16 ounces... I mean, could they make any more fuel for the anti-government nuts? No. You don't ban food ingredients. You...

    When you need to rant...

    Not saying you have to agree. I'm just trying to give a deeper understanding of what's going on. The Dems were given a "Heads I win, Tails You" lose situation by the Tea Party elected jerks. If there has been a time when it was one party and one party alone's fault, it was this. The Shut Down...

    When you need to rant...

    I think my point is validated by this: The very same far rightwing politicians that wanted the government shut down are taking photo ops at the WW II memorial to say how bad the very thing they and their followers wanted is. Heck, Boener himself admitted that the Dems gave him a fair budget...

    Questions about anything

    It was some stupid sitcom about couples in various stages of marriage. It lasted a year on ABC. It was awful. And Partners... UGH! How do those guys keep getting work? They've never had a successful sitcom other than Will and Grace... and that's an overrated, loud program on its own...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    Here's what I'd consider the timeline... 1969-1971: The first batch of pancakes. It gets off to a pretty good start, considering it shows influence of older series at the beginning. Newer Muppet characters would start to creep out near the end of these early years, but that hole was filled...

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

    It doesn't look right on him. He'd benefit from a nice Roger C. Carmel mustache.

    Questions about anything

    Like I always say, we remember the good stuff, and forget there was garbage. In 20 years, y'think anyone's going to remember Rules of Engagement or Better with You?

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Let's not forget about the animation. It's not as horrible as Caillou (which I caught some of a while ago, and it looked like the budget went to 3 bucks an episode), it still does not look half as good as 9 Story's other programming like Wildkratts or Peg + Cat. And yes, it's become quite...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    I've been saying that for quite some time. Old School set 2 gets far more play than set 1. I do not find the school lecture parts entertaining at all, no matter how warm the human characters are. It somehow seems less realistic when the adults spend their time with kids asking which triangle...

    When you need to rant...

    I want to be neither, but the Reps have become reprehensible. Not in this case. And that's where the country is in trouble. The extreme right of the Republican party wanted a shut down, defunding of anything but pet projects and Corporate Welfare (how the shell is that conservative, and why...
