    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    That's another thing entirely too: Hollywood refuses to give new ideas and concepts a chance for fear they'll bomb, so they play it safe by trying to bank on nostalgia . . . and tarnish it in the process. There are some exceptions though, such as the Chipmunks, because they're still being...

    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    The thing of it is, though, Lord Grade gave Jim complete control of TMS to do with it as he pleased - THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY are owned by FOX, not Matt Groening or Seth MacFarlane, respectively, so there's not much they can do without FOX having the final say. Again, Seth's been wanting FG...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    The Powerhouse era of CN was definitely the best: it gave CN such a unique personality all to its own that it lacked beforehand. Don't get me wrong, CN had some decent bumpers during its earlier years, like this one: With the introduction of Cartoon Cartoons in 1997, CN was on the verge of...

    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    That's a problem with network television in general for the past twenty or so years: it's no longer about the art, it's all about the money. From what I understand, FRIENDS is responsible for that: I believe that was the first time a network (NBC, in this case) actually tried producing a weekly...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Ah yes, I remember Cartoon Orbit - that was pretty cool, at the time. IIRC, my cZONE was very Courage-centric, I always went with Nowhere properties and would always try to get as many Courage cTOONs as possible, lol. But anyway, check this guy out; I recently found his YT channel, this is the...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    The way SST is today, they green/bluescreen a majority of what they put on the show, but it just seems strange they can greenscreen a green character like Oscar - seems like they'd need to bluescreen him because of that.

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    How can Oscar be greenscreened when he's green?

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    I once read that it's Robert, but I'm not sure if that's actual information, or if it's just something someone put up at random since it was on Wikipedia. Kind of like how we never really knew what the 'G' in Fred G. Sanford stood for, lol. I actually can't find that interview now . . . and...

    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    Well, there was a moment in the 30 years special where Gonzo mistook another chicken for Camilla while Camilla was sitting next to him on the opposite side.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Let me try to find it again, I found the link to it by accident, so I need to search for it again. In the meantime, here's a few really great interviews with Dilly that are already on YT for your pleasure: Dilly's usually so flamboyant and crazy in most of his interviews, but he sounds...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    That was the last two seasons. You're talking about him bowing at the end in front of a red curtain at the end of each episode, right? That was the last two seasons. Then there was that episode, "Hard Drive Courage," where he scanned himself into the computer to save Muriel, and we got an...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    Isn't this like the third of fourth reboot PPG has had? Why can't any of CN's other classic properties get the same kind of love and attention?

    Disability Corner

    I've often wondered the same thing about myself, though not for the same reasons you've mentioned, but rather because of how habitual and ritualistic I am: I have all kinds of personal little rituals and routines throughout the year that I keep doing year after year, they must never be changed...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    We have a thread for old Nickelodeon, yet we don't have one for old Cartoon Network, so that needs to be remedied. Anyway, I was thinking back on the old Cartoon Cartoons, and it seems to me that out of all the original Cartoon Cartoons, only two of them were true flops: MIKE, LU & OG and SHEEP...

    The Chipmunks

    Honestly, what is the deal?! Why won't Nick put this show On Demand? All of their other shows are On Demand; WITS ACADEMY just started and it's already On Demand, yet this show's been on for almost three months, and we still can't get it On Demand. What gives?! But, on another note...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Even if there was a Courage reboot, Dilly was saying that he wishes he could do it in traditional 2D animation again like the original series was, and in fact, he wanted to do the Fog short in traditional animation as well, but the only way they were going to let him do it is if it was CGI, and...

    When you need to rant...

    Did you know that Tom Bergeron once made a cartoon resume . . . and actually got a job interview out of it? Yep. Way back when he was in dire straits in terms of his career and work like and he was desperate for a job, he figured he'd get more attention from perspective employers if he did...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    There's another new interview with Dilly on YT, and he goes into more detail regarding THE FOG OF COURAGE and how it never got an airdate in the U.S., got stuck in Asia, and never did lead to a reboot of the series: long story short, studio politics. But it's interesting to note that of all the...
