    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    You forget we still had an Arthur Affliction during the 9 Story era, though the episode still hasn't aired in the U.S. yet: Maria is a stutterer. And Brain's emotional/anxiety issues resurfaced in "Shelter from the Storm."

    The Chipmunks

    I've said it before, but I've never bought Jason as Dave, I just didn't, for the reasons you've stated and more - remember, he only took the role because he learned it was previously offered to his idol, Bill Murray. As much as I love Bill Murray, I'm not entirely sure he could pull Dave off...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    As much as I like Comcast's seasonal Music Choice channel playing Halloween music, there's one thing that does make it bothersome (beside from the randomly playing the GLEE version of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW soundtrack): there's like five different versions of "This is Halloween" from THE...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Yup, Rocky and Bullwinkle were usually on like in the middle of the night on Saturday nights. CN also gave the show a custom opening title sequence. And CCF started in 1997, when Cartoon Cartoons did, however it had no personality then: the new episodes would air throughout the week (JOHNNY...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    Why do kids movies put more emphasis on their soundtracks and the artists who recorded for them than the movie itself?

    Favorite Seinfeld moments?

    Actually, it just now occured to me that the series left a lot of these kinds of questions unintentionally left unanswered. Like, just what was in that Penske file? Who was Kramer yelling at to do something with their life? Whatever happened to Noreen (the woman who dated the high talker that...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    NORM OF THE NORTH http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1594972/?ref_=nv_sr_2 So, it apparently starts off as a polar bear version of HAPPY FEET where the arctic home of these creatures is being destroyed by humans, but then it somehow turns into THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER and ROCK-A-DOODLE where the...

    The Chipmunks

    After seeing the trailer for Road Chip . . . honestly, this doesn't even look remotely interesting. If the Chipettes are in this one (and they must be, because I last heard Amy Poehler was being replaced as Eleanor's voice), they weren't shown in the trailer, and Jason Lee has clearly aged since...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    This HBO deal seems to have just sprung up out of the clear blue at the last minute, so that probably has affected when the new season will begin airing.

    Why haven't some older videos been re-released?

    Exactly - I saw those all the time on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW; living in the south, that show's a staple down here, it's never off our TVs, and as a kid, I never questioned those old telephones, nor did I ever question the black and white (notice too that I LOVE LUCY is being colored, "for kids...

    I learned that Mike Rowe used to be an opera singer. I'm seriously having trouble wrapping my mind around that . . . somebody had to have made that up.

    Why haven't some older videos been re-released?

    Well, no, it's not just SW, but this seems to be a problem with a lot of long-running kids shows today: as we've talked about in other threads before, older seasons of ARTHUR, particularly the first, are rarely, if ever, shown in reruns anymore, and a lot of it has to do with how outdated the...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    I can tell from all that I'm seeing associated with the new movie that Snoopy and Woodstock's sounds are pretty much old library recordings: the sound quality (mono) doesn't match the sound quality of everything else (stereo). Trying to convert older stereo sound recordings, sadly, seems to only...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    PAN was pretty good - better than I expected it to be. It certainly had an interesting cast, to say the least: I can see where Drtooth is coming from - Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily wasn't convincing as an indian/Native American character, however, she embodied a character that served a purpose in...

    Sesame Street will continue to air on re-branded Sprout Channel

    I really couldn't see PMWS lasting for much longer anyway. It was interesting and intriguing when it first came out over ten years ago, but admittedly, it got kind of stale kind of quickly - especially when it went through a period where it seemed as if the only two production numbers it'd...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    And ironically, that was what Frank Oz had been complaining about for some time, they the Muppets were "too nice," "too sweet," and "too cute." He felt there was no longer any conflict or tension among the characters to help shape the dynamics of their interactions with each other. But, this is...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    That's very common for really any series you see on TV: M*A*S*H was really the one who pioneered multiple storylines per episode later in their run, but SEINFELD is often cited as turning it into a trend, though it was more noticeable and forefront, considering SEINFELD's main cast consisted of...
