I wish the retro networks I get on digital TV weren't so lousy with Cowboy shows. I hate having to get up at 1 in the morning on Saturdays to watch Get Smart because I'm too poor to buy the entire series on DVD. Plus, I miss when they had Lavern and Shirley on MeTv instead of that lame Sunday...

PeeWee is a special example. It's not so much that he's a man-child so much as he's a parody kid's show host turned actual kid's show host. Technically he's supposed to be a slightly twisted parody of Pinky Lee (which I just barely know of) and Soupy Sales. The movies kinda give him more...

The title card differences seem to only affect outside, single clips. I bet that's just because it's easier to archive something that was used more recently than to paw through older episodes. I mean, they do have around 4000 hours of footage to paw through (someone HAS to have calculated the...

Jerry's little nebbish monster going "In in in for MWOOOOOORE" especially with that loud, pathetic clanking of the garbage pail essentially insulting him. That sells the skit. That and getting smashed and trampled. I never cared much for Disco, but Sesame Street certainly had a way with it...

And before anyone asks... yes, this is the first official new footage featuring a recast Elmo. Everything else was a personal appearance or behind the scenes. This is exclusively made for Youtube. Murray's doing some of his best stuff here.

It wouldn't be a huge conspiracy if they didn't replace the theme song in some skit with generic music. Or if, as I'm to understand, some other SS videos released by WHV didn't suspiciously skip the theme song either... I do have a crappy AOSTH DVD I got free from a coupon that always skips...

How come no one mentioned the 6 Dollar Man skit yet? One of the ones that always has me laughing. It has a mildly comedic opening, funny bits about how much everything cost. Kinda quiet... then they turn the robot on and it malfunctions fabulously with the head shooting off the body, and...

I'll split the difference. On the one hand, it's perfectly understandable that there are things they can't have on the DVD's due to rights stupidity and values dissonance and whatever. On the other hand, while they didn't promise these would be uncut, they never said they were either. We got...

The problem is simple. They just want to market directly to little kids, and they don't think a 1960's show is going to resonate with them. A show made in the 80's full of 80's references that even says it takes place in the 80's... somehow that's better. :rolleyes: At one point some company...

I get what he said, alright... still... not bringing forth any suggestions or addressing specific problems...kinda out of your hands. I mean, creators of characters that get bought into movie rights with terrible movies they can't do a thing about can only dream of that sort of interaction.

I can't believe Disney releasing crappy and irrelevant merchandise for Bear in the Big Blue House. But what I really can't believe is there's a bacon flavored thing that's not released in the US. Though, I mean... fruit snacks or cookies shaped like the characters, I'd understand... this is...

Come on, man... you never suck. :D

The subcontext I got out of what Frank said was that the movie played the characters too safely and made them slaves to continuity, all the while imitating prior projects. And to some extent he's right about that... but that's the way the movie needed to be. If they did something way too...

It's too cute for me to put in the dullest, most boring pile, but it's one of the rare times the skit would have been better if it was an in name only parody. It goes on far too long to be funny. Especially since the other game shows have stuff getting crashed through walls and game show...

Ah. Actually, they could probably make a Pumpkin flavored corn snack. Probably taste weird though. But still...This is what Disney's doing with the Bear license? REALLY?!?! Merchandise that doesn't make any sense in Ireland? The same company that refuses to license anything to McDonalds for a...

I used to think that way too, until I remembered GMC came out only 2 years after TMM. And MTM a more sizable 3 years after. I know Frank had some qualms about the script on the first one, but let's face it, he didn't exactly give them any input on it either. He's understandably busy and the...

Eh, joke? Joke on the fact that Sesame Workshop would never do an educational Muppet version of The Fugitive?

It somehow popped up on the thing I usually see things on (meanwhile, Monster and Robot have not :mad: ) so I might give this thing a shot.

They like to make one example out of everyone to put the fear of Corporate God in them. It's quite obvious that this kid's father is in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and now is dedicated to escaping prison and clearing his name... all while teaching the alphabet and math. Someone get me...

Yeah. Japan outsources there now too! But there are a couple occasions where we still outsourced to Japan recently. At least one or two of DC's DTV movies was done at TMS. I know one of the Green Lantern ones was. Can't remember which one. I do not count Gotham Knight, of course... that...
