    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    The more I think about it, this feels like ATC deja vu. Remember that part of the reason for the ATC era of the show was because by then it was felt that SST was "too advanced" and "too complicated" for little kids watching, hence why Barney came into play: with Barney taking place in the...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Gee, this must be the same people who complained that the Muppets upstaged the celebrity casts in THE MUPPETS (2011) and MMW.

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    There were some other alterations among the characters aside from Patty: Violet's outfit was, well, violet instead of green and Sally's dress was pink instead of blue. But this movie was absolutely fantastic, wonderful, incredible, I can't remember the last time I absolutely loved a movie I saw...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    So. . . . THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS, eh? Ehh. . . . so, it's THE SECRET LIFE OF TOYS, but with pets? I smell an Oscar. Not. On a related note, is there some kind of unwritten rule now that says all animated movies have to have at least two or more SNL castmembers doing the voices?

    The Chipmunks

    Oh wow. . . . Road Chip has poop jokes and fart jokes - I notice Bagdasarian Productions isn't being mentioned as being behind this movie, I'm almost glad they're not.

    Video: Warburton's Muppet Show Commercial featuring the Muppets

    You realize that you can get crumpets in the U.S., they're just called "English Muffins" instead.

    The Chipmunks

    Generic, random-episode DVD sets are already available for pre-order. Anyway, I'm still really confused about their schooling: Nick.com says they're in high school, but in yesterday's episode ("Doggone It") they get out at 3:00, which is middle school (or, at least, middle school where I come...

    Finding Dory coming to theaters Summer 2016

    That was one of the problems I had with the Ice Age sequels: since the original, all of the extra creatures in the movie have a really silly, cartoonish look to them, like those turtle thangs.

    The New New Quote Thread

    DARRIN: Sam, if you're looking for an argument, I'm too tired. SAMANTHA: Pardon? DARRIN: I'll admit I went a little overboard about the pancakes this morning, but that's still no reason to rub my nose in it! SAMANTHA: In the pancakes? DARRIN: No, in your witchcraft!

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    Lol, I'm of the CD generation, so I didn't have to put up with that, lol. Now, when it comes to downloading and burning music onto CDs, there's the issue of making sure you get decent-quality recordings of the songs, sometimes you'll get low-quality, muffled, tinny, recordings from being compressed.

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    Y'know, it's not just puppets, adn it's not just animation, there's plenty of advances in technology that many people aren't too fond of: music is perhaps one of the biggest ones there is - I've noticed a lot of people (particularly older people) say the same thing about music having losts its...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Dude, I said this in the rant thread, everybody's making a big deal about these Starbucks cups because D'ump and Bristol Palin started it.

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Yes. I do not tolerate heat, and where I come from, it can get anywhere from 90 to 110 in the summer; luckily, we haven't gotten into the 100s for a few years, which is nice. Still, I love fall and winter.

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    This is why I battle with my mom every year on holiday decorations: I hate summer as much as she does, but every year she insists on putting up Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations in the middle of August to "help cope with the rest of summer," but I keep arguing that by the time those two...

    Noticeable Changes to the set over the years

    I just recently started noticing something: during the mid 80s, the lattice around the lower landing of the carriage house staircase kept disappearing and reappearing. Take Season 18 for example, here's a screencap from Episode 2257 without the lattice: Then here's the lattice again the same...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Already MeTV is going to start playing Christmas episodes of all their shows every night. At least last year, they waited until the day after Thanksgiving to do that.

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    The 2005 Grover took a while to get used to: I didn't mind that he was a little shaggier than he was previously, it was how they repositioned his eyes, tilting them more downward, giving him kind of a sad-looking face.

    Kermit's been this shade of green for quite some time.

    Questions about anything

    Disregard my previous post, I guess that new set was a temporary thing. But anyway, how is butt-dialing even possible to do when screens only recognize the touch of human flesh? If you can't get anything to work if your fingers are covered in fabric (like gloves), how can your cloth-covered...
