    Roosevelt Franklin may return in Sesame Street Season 45

    I still think the less romantic version is that Matt Robinson was about to leave the series anyway, and the character left with him. If he were to have been recast with another Muppeteer or something, or just recorded the lines as it was looped dialogue anyway... well, I'd still see the...

    Life is Beautiful was a little less... well... hamfisted than what has been said about Lewis's film. It happened con-current to the Holocaust, there were some great jokes and a general lightness that paid off in a very dramatic way when the film got dark and directly involved the Holocaust. It...

    Roosevelt Franklin may return in Sesame Street Season 45

    I honestly think that waiting every 5 years for an anniversary celebration to use classic characters to fill out crowd scenes is a wasted concept that they should be doing in every episode that calls for a crowd. Silent or otherwise. Personally, I don't see why we don't have major establishing...

    Popular Shows that You Hate

    Full House was a show I liked as a kid, but hate as an adult. Like I said before, I respect the show on the level of it showing a well adjusted non-traditional family (again, Cracked article I can't bother looking up), but, like every other family sitcom, it's just too diabetic for me. Of...

    Unpopular Shows you Love

    I'm far too loyal to the show to give up watching The Simpsons. There were times quite a while ago when I considered, but what else am I going to do on a Sunday night for a half hour? I can barely get through the summer rerun season or extremely too long baseball playoffs without it, my only...

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

    Ah. That's the kind of insight I was hoping to hear. There seemed to be some sort of values dissonance that came from a 70's segment that seems odd today. Then again, my regular school teachers were all unhappy crones that were like Ms. Hoover on the Simpsons (actually, more like that teacher...

    I was going to edit, but I think I should post this separetely... They do indeed have an article on The Snuffy Divorce episode as well as the Wicked Witch of the West one. No mention of other lost Sesame Street media (other than the Crack Master segment). But there is one lost Henson...

    I tell you. Not only did Animaniacs make fun of this film brutally (the Apocalypse Now parody episode which clearly referenced the film if you look out for it), but the criminally underrated sitcom Yes Dear really brutally made fun of it... with Kevin Smith no less. I like Jerry and all, but I...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Jerry had a rasp that somehow was never replicated. Not by Townsend Coleman (cartoon Gobo), certainly. But Matt gives the character such a high energy performance, he embodies the Count in different ways. Like I always say, the voice comes after characterization. He seems to have that down pat.

    I'm actually sympathizing with the saboteurs. They could have stopped a terrible project from happening. I have to admit... the concept screams "sub-par Toy Story ripoff" at best. And at worst, it turned into yet another kiddy fart fest. They did have the concept before with Logomania or...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The Wimzie reference was nothing more than an inside joke, like when the Tibbles turn on the show that's "Too Busy and not Scary enough." But they already did the "you can make sound out of household objects" bit with D.W. That said, Adventures in Budylon sounds like the worst the season has...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Those are all standard plotlines for stuff. I wouldn't even say just cartoons, as I've seen quite a few sitcoms (very old ones at that) use those plots well before those cartoons did in the first place. I agree, they're out of ideas, even though they still have books that they should have...

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    I'm absolutely shocked with how cheap these complete series sets are. I mean, they're almost 10 bucks less than buying a single season/part season. And that's MSRP. Stores rarely charge MSRP. I'm definitely looking into getting the Angry Beavers set, and if they do a CatDog one. Might as...

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    Hey Sarge... I got some news for you.. Danny Phantom the Complete Series Don't know if you'll be happy or annoyed that they're skipping over a single release of season 3, and no word on if they corrected any of the mistakes on the second season disks, but... well... at least they finished it off.

    Your dream voice cast

    I want every voice actor from every major faction, union and non-union... heck, some overseas to do voicework for something. A movie, a cartoon... whatever. There are great talents from all over California, New York, Canada... Texas even. It would be great to get the best of all those different...

    When you need to rant...

    Obama actually grew a pair this time. I love how everything wrong with the Republican party is due to him. He's pretty much given them 90% of what they wanted this entire time (again, why do they hate someone who pretty much lets them have their own way). And they still think he's this evil...

    When you need to rant...

    They've been pulling that juvenile, imbecilic, disgusting garbage since before he took office and NONE of their predictions came true. Meanwhile, their own party keeps passing the moral event horizon. I'm freaking sick of them. Their idiotic attempt to keep scaring Fundies with birth control...

    When you need to rant...

    Personally, I laughed my butt off when Lindsay Graham (the MOST effeminate name ever, by the way) discovered that shutting down the government meant that they were also sending a LARGE number of Anti-terrorism agents home without pay. That of course means, the Reps have become so incredibly far...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    I'm going to be brutally honest. I love the Count. He's one of my favorite characters, and I'm glad they had a back up plan to keep him on the show when Jerry passed. But "8 is Great" is... well... not the character's best song. It almost seems like something out of a shallow Sesame Street...

    When you need to rant...

    To answer your question... The Tea Party. They're like a vast minority of Americans, and even a huge minority when it comes to Republicans. They're a disorganized group of wanna be Libertarians that have a fifth grader's view of American History...a C and under student understanding at that...
