You know what I find odd? Everybody's complaining about the Muppets being "too mean" and "too snarky" with each other . . . but this is exactly what Frank Oz has been saying the Muppets have been missing all these years: conflict. At the risk of sounding like Drtooth, I guess what they say is...

I've been thinking about "Crazy Bus," and how you don't ever hear it anymore, because it would mean they would have to pay royalty to Joe Fallon for using it as he wrote the song, yet he walked away from the show after Season 5. It really has me wondering about what would happen if the earlier...

Not yet it's not; we still have less than a week left of September.

Cheese and crackers! YouTube probably just gave me the biggest ball buster yet: slashing the number of views on a number of my vids that ranged anywhere in the low hundreds down to double-digits. Thank you, YouTube, that's just what I need: way to further make me look like a small...

Okay . . . at the risk of sparking another political debate . . . why is it that there's a number of Republican candidates running for office in 2016, then there's only two Democratic candidates?

Just to clear things up before I end up getting lumped, I'm not conservative, and admittedly, my opinion on gratuitous sexual content in entertainment today isn't really related to being a Christian, I just feel that in general entertainment today relies way too heavily on the notion that sex...

I've kind of been thinking about how everybody's so nostalgic about the 90s lately, and it's finally donned on me why that is: it's part of the cycle of nostalgia. Every decade is always nostalgic for the decade before the last. Think about it: in the 70s people were nostalgic for the 50s; in...

That's what I said a few posts back that much of entertainment today has very little or no middle ground as far as target audiences are concerned. Shows like TMS, and even Rocky and Bullwinkle, had sneaky adult humor that would go over the kids' heads and get laughs out of adults, but it wasn't...

Yes, but back then, they actually had something called Practices & Standards, which were a set of rules and guidelines of the things you couldn't say or do on television . . . which is pretty much everything you do see on television today. But yes, as I've said numerous times before: give me...

Well, the thing about that is in this day and age -where a sense of values takes a backseat to everything- you're considered "square" by the masses for thinking otherwise. Then again, there's always been problems like that with each decade: it's kinda-sorta what the hippies were all about in the...

Okay, here's a load of hooey: http://www.weather.com/series/health-minute/video/how-a-cooler-bedroom-helps-good-fat I keep my living conditions at a constant 65 degrees or below (sorry, Drtooth), and I've been doing so for years . . . so how come I'm still fat? I mean, to see this video's...

If it makes you feel any better, people have criticized me for not liking gratuitous sexual content in today's modern entertainment, and in fact, I have been told that I'm a "repressed and uncultured *******" for it. I had no idea sexual content was so refined and cultured. I wouldn't count on...

I'm beginning to think that having Stephen Colbert replace Dave Letterman was a mistake; Colbert's version of THE LATE SHOW seems heavy-handed on the political humor and guests, which is essentially what his old cable show was. Then again, I never expected Colbert to be Letterman, and I never...

In this day and age, I doubt that will happen; there's no common ground in television anymore like there was back in those days. A majority of what you see on TV today is divided into kids only and adults only; kiddie shows tend to be watered down and talk down to the kids watching, and adult...

I DREAM OF JEANNIE did push boundaries, but it's still a clean, wholesome, family show compared to others, but like TV Tropes says, IDOJ is essentially BEWITCHED with social commentary replaced with fanservice (and Barbara Eden was probably the very image of fanservice in the 60s). Then again...

I'm not saying removing rods is bad, I just don't care for it, just like I don't care for excessive use of greenscreen/chromakey outside complex, full-bodied puppetry: rods aside, the greenscreen effect - even when done well - looks more fake than building sets or even painting scenery. But...

I really miss the days when you couldn't show sexual content on TV.

This is true. Unlike the old days where it was more common to wait until the entire season is finished and look at the numbers then that would determine whether or not it did well enough to be renewed for another season . . . or in some cases, even the summer repeats: M*A*S*H flopped in its...

I say they re-release Old School Vol. 2 so we can hear Maria sing it to David. :P

Yes, I mentioned that already. Yeah, but MTI is a kids movie (as lampshaded when Rizzo commented on Billy Bones dying), whereas THE MUPPETS (2015) is an adult show.
