I got the Earthworm Jim DVD set... Oh boy... on 2 disks... maybe all three... a huge chunk of episodes were listed completely wrong on the DVD's themselves, causing trial and error to find the right episode I was looking for. It's very disappointing they screwed it up that much, but I'm just...
I have no idea what's wrong with the Danny Phantom thing, but I applaud Nick for outsourcing the DVD's and not releasing them themselves. They suck at it... HARD. When they first outsourced Invader Zim, we got the entire series with unaired episodes and commentary. While we haven't got...
There's a very good reason Hasbro's doing this.
Think very closely about what Mattel has over Hasbro.
That's right. Hasbro has never really had a successful line of Barbie style dolls. They had Jem, but for some reason, they're too stubborn to revive that franchise. Not even as an IDW...
It's true Regular Show and Adventure Time are on DVD and Blu-Ray in season sets... you know how angry the fanbase got until they stopped releasing kiddy single disks? They still release single disk kiddy sets even with the season sets. Heck, they didn't even continue MAD after the first...
I dunno.... they seem to use Whatnots on television shows, and I don't think they even mention a copyright in passing. They used on on 30 Rock, quite obviously.
They always had some level of ham... they're just overdoing it now. I don't know if it's on purpose or they don't realize it. But I'll take ham over stiff with poor chemistry any day (insert reference to MwOZ).
I don't buy the "Low sales" bit. They put in so little care in the Disney Afternoon sets that they could afford to have them sell sluggishly. No special features, a very amateurish menu....minimal restoration. Looked like something bootlegged.
Though, the Muppet Show DVD's were always high...
Like I said before, the problem here is that this wasn't a marriage. It was an open arrangement of which either of them could have left at any time, and it's just strange that Roscoe decided to leave that late in the game. Had it been a proper marriage and they divorced, the situation would be...
I'm glad they dropped it. It just didn't look right on Season 5 Bart to be animated like a Tracy Ullman short. And I'm glad the series proper didn't look like TU shorts (after the first season, anyway). Bouncy animation just doesn't work with the Simpsons as a TV show.
Though I am glad they...
The more I think about it, these are self congratulatory awards yes... but they're also great bragging rights for advertising. "Award Winning Artist" sounds like a nice feather in the cap. Stick it on a CD or have on on a resume, it's perfect marketing.
What's the deal on old Simpsons cartoons when one of the character's mouths pointed the other way from their face? You know, like when Bart says something and his eyes and nose are pointing right and his mouth is pointing left?
The end of this short shows what I'm talking about
And it's...
We have far too many music awards. I get specialized music awards and all, but we don't need more pop music focused ones. Billboard is nothing but pop music.
There's such a thing as reference overload... but Sesame Street, much like SNL, The Simpsons, and South Park need to make as many references as possible. Sesame Street has always been conceived as a sketch comedy style show, and sketch comedies usually tend to reference things that are just...
The problem seems to be the lack of plastic eyes. That seems like a safety issue more than anything, but the plush eyes kinda screwed up quite a few plush likenesses. Gonzo especially. Other than the fact that some of the features are too soft, these aren't that bad.
People throw the word timeless around like it has an actual meaning. There is stuff that does actually live up to being timeless, but it's quite rare. 80's Cartoons betray themselves with synth pop soundtracks (specifically, anything by DIC)... Looney Tunes have some cartoons that work today...
That's kinda what I'm talking about. The only problem I have with shooting in advance is when they write and shoot these at the moment pop culture parodies, and by the time they actually air, they're pretty dated. It's like that Simpsons episode where all the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons were...
They swear it's going to be as close to the original as possible, just the levels are a bit longer and meatier, and the boss battles are bulked up to make them more challenging.
They do have parodies in street stories as well. Just this darn lead time and doing everything well over a year in advance can come back to bite them. Look at the LMNOP episode. ***** broke up well before that episode aired, and Gangham Style made everyone completely forget them, and Harlem...
