That is one of the most insane cartoons I've ever seen. I'm loving these so much.

Not saying you were saying that at all. Bart was such a high kid appeal character, that they always aggressively marketed Bart stuff towards kids since the beginning. And unfortunately that trickled down to parental groups. Not to mention the freaking groups that say every animation ever is for...

Someone posted a picture around here of the rare and hard to find Rocko merchandise. There apparently was some, but best of luck finding any of it. I can't say for sure they canceled the Nicktoons line, but considering how it's been cleared out, I'm not holding my breath for anything else.

Don't get me wrong. There's a lot of good in the 1950's. It's just been ruined by certain groups, usually of people who were kids in the 1950's and don't want to ruin their childhood by poking at it's seedy underbelly. They love to use shows like Leave it to Beaver to say that it was a...

I remember reading an Animation Magazine from the early 90's that had a running gag about how much Tiny Toons sucked. You try and tell a generation that grew to appreciate it that, and they'll think you're mad! They (much like the 90's generation on today's cartoons) without watching the...

You know as well as I do, if they added Skeeter, she'd be performed by a man anyway. She was in the cartoon. I dunno. Why didn't Booster, Mira Nova, and X-R have a cameo in TS3? How come the Men in Black didn't fight Alpha in the second film? How is it that the Ghostbusters were broken up...

Come on, dude... you go to TV Tropes. ;) The Weird Al Effect is "When a parody remains popular after the original works being parodied are no longer well known to the audience" I've seen the original PeeWee stage show before. Things were ironic, tongue in cheek, and they even had a cute...

The Simpsons was always considered a kid's show for some reason, and the fact that Bart Simpson merchandise directed at kids was all over the place (it is by far not a new thing, ask a 30+ year old who was there when the Simpsons happened) until the second or third season. It went under heavy...

I hate when someone makes a point before as I finished posting... but yeah. Peewee was an adult stage show parody well before it became a kid's show. It suffered the Weird Al effect, as the audience, even at the time, was far too young to remember Pinky Lee and Soupy Sales. If they even...

You're exhibiting why I hate the term P.C. It's become a catch all term for Moral Guardians/Uptight Groups and by extension any reason why things aren't the imaginary dirty dingy Wild West they think their lives used to be. It's spread by casual racists to subliminally make it okay for them...

Far...too...optimistic. I'd say it's insane to even consider something on the level of Muppet Newsman. On the one hand, Disney has bean bag plush of roughly every monster from Monsters University. Some of those characters were only named in the credits and had no lines. But then again...

The thing that makes it extremely idiotic is that she wore a body suit that made it look worse. But seriously, a sexy pop diva that sings sexy songs dressing sexy? Somehow that was a surprise? I know that there are people who weren't completely crazy/stupid that did kind of have a problem...

I'd say the very exact opposite was the case in the Kathy Perry fiasco. The problem is, SW listened to internet Youtube comments. The Youtube comments section is usually where the worst people in society go to say racist, homophobic, xenophobic, terrible things that they know would get them a...

I give the *&^% up on this TMNT movie. I can't even just blame Bay. The script still sucks. Shredder's now a white guy. I'm guessing Splinter is too. I keep hearing people whine about how Perry White, Electro, and Johnny Storm/The Human Touch are being race lifted and saying "why doesn't it...

I've been saying for years, taking an easy target is a win no matter what. The obesity problem? They go after sodas over 16 ounces, but refuse to tackle any of the major factors that contribute to it culturally (there are people who have taken up community gardens, but that's another story). A...

Can I say that as far as Hasbro and SW go, I'm more disappointed they didn't have a Sesame Street/Mr. Potatohead product like Darth Tater and Spider-Spud? Or some sort of Sesame Street Transformer. An Oscar's Garbage can that turns into a Decepticon. That would be amazing.

And we no longer even get that! Pixar does have an extensive line of toys when a kid friendly movie comes out (boy does it ever with Cars), but when something like Up comes along, there's only hard to find collectors stuff... sometimes from other countries. However, Disney does do one thing...

I'm not saying they should have or that I agree with the character oustings, I'm just saying, I can see why a preschool show would want to avoid something that sends a bad example. It's like why they stopped having Bert call Ernie a Meatball and stuff. And frankly, the character is much...

Once you tone down the problem, there's no problem. In later Don bits, they did get rid of the head banging. Part of it was character one-noteness. On that subject, I noticed this skit was rare. I only remember seeing it once when I was a kid... the famous Me Claudius. Watching it again, I...

It's kind of hard to believe a show that pulled an entire character for bashing his head on a piano wouldn't take a second look at misbehaving older kids in a school room. Realistic or not realistic, you have to admit, it does encourage rudeness. If Sesame Street didn't some to the conclusion...
