    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Did I not mention that? *Looks back* Guess I didn't. But oh well. At least I got the first world problem point across, lol. On a serious note, however, I've heard from some people that the quality of the show on Netflix is actually inferior to DVD anyway: people were really hoping for newer HD...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Okay, I'm definitely about to shift into Seinfeld-mode, and really do a riff here. Okay, so, a lot of M*A*S*Hers are really excited right now, because the first five seasons of the show are available on Netflix now. HUH-ray. It astounds me that all these years of all eleven seasons being...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I know what you mean, I still have my 35th anniversary edition of Uno cards... I doubt they'd have any collector value, those cards are pretty much worn out. I also have copies of the Songs from the Street CD collection (a friend of mine had the actual set, and made copies for me). I have about...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    Yeah, I think I brought this up a while back. I see it tanking. It seems far too cliche, to me. Asians trying to act more like typical Americans . . . yeah, you know what? That's been done before, with other ethnicities and races, and even the Geico cavemen had a sitcom that tanked because of it.

    Nature Cat: A New PBS Series from David and Adam Rudman

    David and Adam Rudman have done it again! PBS Kids Go has ordered a new series to begin airing in the fall of 2015 - NATURE CAT. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/01/20/pbs-kids-orders-new-series-nature-cat/353176/ Just reading about it, I think it's swell that the Rudman brothers have...

    Learn Something New Everyday Thread

    I really should browse through Muppet Wiki more often. I knew from reading Brian Jay Jones's book that Jim's pitch for MOKI was passed on, including one potential director who told Bernie Brillstein that he recognized Jim's visual mind, but the story scared the bejeezus out of him... but I...

    Timepiece

    I know this is regarded as Jim's first project that excluded puppets, to prove to people he could do more than just the Muppets... But, when I think about it . . . wouldn't the dancing chicken and skeleton count as puppets?

    Live Action "Legend of Zelda" TV Show

    Too late to edit, but the one bit of acting I didn't like in the movie? The guy playing the king, after he returns to his old self. And the king, after having spent who knows how long as fungus choking all of Dinohattan thanks to the tyranical King Koopa, was finally restored to his old self...

    Live Action "Legend of Zelda" TV Show

    And that's another thing that gets me too: YOSHI'S ISLAND isn't too hard a game, but like many others, it gets Nintendo Hard towards the end, particularly the final world (I especially hate those where the world pans by itself and you have to keep up with it as best you can)... but when you...

    Live Action "Legend of Zelda" TV Show

    I'm with you, I really liked Bob Hoskins are Mario, but then again, Bob Hoskins was good in just about everything he did. Still a shame that we lost him . . . but then again, he was already retired because of his Parkinson's anyway. But Nostalgia Critic did bring up an interesting point: what...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    Roll out to other cities? So does that mean this is going to be a limited release that more than likely won't come to my city because we're always a hundred years behind as opposed to being ahead (and because the Kevin Clash film never came to my town either)? :(

    Live Action "Legend of Zelda" TV Show

    One thing that I find interesting about the SMB movie, though, is for years, John Leguizamo has been talking about how much he hated doing that movie, noting it as one of the lowest points of his career, how he and Bob Hoskins were so miserable they'd both booze their brains out every night just...

    Same here. Season 40 saw a huge media frenzy, can you imagine what an extravaganza Season 50 would be?

    Live Action "Legend of Zelda" TV Show

    What I meant was unlike LOZ, SMB really didn't have a comprehensible plot that could work well in a story format.

    What do you know about dreams?

    Well, I had a fun one last night: a bunch of us MCers were in a big department/big box store, and there was a fight going on. Not a physical fight, more like a food fight, only instead of throwing food all over the place, it was other products that were flying around. It was weird, and it...

    Live Action "Legend of Zelda" TV Show

    LOZ has something working in its favor that Super Mario Bros. didn't - it actually has something of a comprehensible plot that could really lend itself to a story format. In fact, I've thought that despite the SMB movie bombing, that a live action LOZ movie could have worked... of course, it...

    Questions about anything

    Do you think different species of animals can communicate with each other, or would their own distinctive calls be like their own "language"? Like could a barking dog and a meowing cat understand one other, or would the barking and meowing be like "languages" that only they can understand?

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Ever notice in the Pizzeria Dos insert, the two chefs give Mr. Johnson two grape drinks in paper cups, yet after he and his clone faint, they clink the cups together as if they're glass (and they even make a clinking sound effect as well).

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I disagree with David's Cookie and Eric's Bert not sounding too different from Frank's original, but whatever. I will say Eric's Grover has definitely improved over the years.
