    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    Yeah. The street is completely empty most of the time. No kids being called in, no extra puppeteers just having random characters pace around the background, no Extras... and a lot of the time, only 2 or 3 Muppets in the story. There's less and less of random characters popping up in stories...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Well, not just that. There are movies that are terrible and no one likes them, then there are movies that are good all around but for one flaw or bending of reality becomes the worst thing known to man. No one can just enjoy a movie for what it is anymore. Though, if they were clearly...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    I'll meet you both way. There really seems like a lack of variety all over as a result of the budget problem. I wouldn't be surprised if they favor Chris and Alan because they're more available than anyone else. You also notice how empty the set becomes most of the time. Except for one or...

    Whatever Happened to Michigan J. Frog??

    His career was 2 Looney Tunes cartoons, the second being decades after the first, a couple Tiny Toons appearances, something on Animaniacs and Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries (both references to his network mascot days)... I don't see any logical reason for him to be on TLS, especially since it's...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I really loved some of what The Buster Scale had to say. While it's all about opinions and respecting and agreeing to disagree... I really think they made a HUGE point when everyone loved the movie and Brain pokes holes into the logic of it and everyone all the sudden hates it. That's sadly...

    Can we do something about posting for posts sake?

    Anything else I'd say would turn to harassment... but the kind of guy that writes that many responses to a video in a row is the same kind of guy who drudges up decade old posts to say a very important "YAY." Unless this guy is doing it all as a gag, and it's some elaborate prank, this guy...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street the comic from Ape Entertainment

    Not saying that they don't. It's just becoming increasingly rare. I've seen a few where the human cast has popped up. I swear that Maria and a few others were in The Count Counts a Party. What's even more rare? Generic humans. Illustrators tend to favor Anything Muppets over generic...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Maybe sort of, but these last two episodes are far better than the first crop of season 16. I liked the one about the malfunctioning computer thing, as completely unrealistic and 2001: A Space Odyssey as it seemed. But the others weren't much fun, say the least of Ladonna's introductory...

    Can we do something about posting for posts sake?

    We usually get several threads about the same/similar subject. Especially if it's about a new Muppet project or something. We even get threads based on one reference in one show despite the official references to Muppets thread. That stuff happens, especially if the original thread is years...

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    I really should point out, as I had to see this like 3 or 4 times to make said YTP, I absolutely love how that girl puppet says "I hope we can all understand Four" and holds up FIVE fingers. And somehow, the way she says it reminds me of the time the Simpsons moved to the Globex Company's gated...

    More scandal rocking Sesame Street: Roscoe Orman leaves ex

    Like I said, one sided. While whatever went on with them is private, who's to say she wasn't the one who drove him to leave? "Victems" in some of these situations distort the facts, not just to be manipulative, but also because they remember it from a different stand point. Not to mention the...

    Golden Globes - What's the Point?

    Let's not forget that the Golden Globes also does television. It's not just movies... and quite frankly, the Golden Globes gets one thing right where the Oscars gets wrong. They separate drama and comedy into their own category. Why that's so novel that the Oscars refuses to do it is beyond...

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    It's not so much that as I wanted to do more with it. Add in more skits... but I just COULDN'T take watching any more of those segments. They were hurting my brain. Of course, for the most part, I'm usually sort of satisfied with my stuff. The only ones I'm really proud of are the...

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    Uncanny Valley runs too deep with these puppets. There's a puppet they somehow lump in with the kid puppets that's an ugly bald man with narrow eyes (possibly crow's feet) and a huge, elderly person nose. And they didn't even attempt caricature like Spitting Image (or the Krofft Brother's DC...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street the comic from Ape Entertainment

    Bodoque and Moshie were among some generic looking grouches in one of Oscar's fantasies, when he was trying to find out what a horrible stink was. They looked far too familiar to be generic, if miscolored. Oscar also had an imagine spot about Grouchgiving (probably written before the...

    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    I still think it's waaaaay too early to say if something's up with Dave. The movie seems to have scripted less for Gonzo, while focusing on the Kermit/Piggy dynamic. And the loads and loads of characters they wanted to shove into the film kinda pushed each other aside. But the GLC appearance...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    I wouldn't say he's so much leaving as he is not quite as involved or available as he used to be. I'd agree that it's more to fill in for Gabbi than anyone else. Wonder how many episodes Rosita's going to be in this next season.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    Took me a while, but the real problem with the CGI characters? They were more animated and expressive than the humans, making the already wooden directing (not acting... these actors have proven to hold their own) even more obvious. Hopefully J.J Abrams knows there's a difference between...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I have to admit I hate the fact they had to change the name, but understand why they had to. No one's going to see a film called "the Leaf Men." I'm pretty excited that William Joyce had 2 movies from different studios that came out less than a year from each other (Rise of the Guardians being...
