    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    Can I just say that I remembered a time where everyone over a certain age hated Tiny Toons and felt it was just as much an abortion as LU and BLT? All sight unseen, of course. I remember an animation magazine basically making it the butt of every joke.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    If it isn't, I wonder why they just didn't take what they did in season 40 to heart and just have unused characters as background characters in a crowd. They did that with the Count Golf Tournament skit with Guy Smiley. That was a few seasons before season 40 to boot.

    Campaign for Medicom to make Life-Sized Muppets!

    I dunno. I'd much rather them make large Vynal Muppets with and without flocking. I'm not a flocking fan.

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    What those who hate Brave fail to realize is that the film does speak to some people. Mostly, teen- twenty something year old women that realize how hypocritical the other Disney Princesses they grew up with are. The difference is, at the end of the film (very subtly) Merida pretty much...

    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    They never gave her a respectable personality in that movie. She was created by marketing in a cynical attempt to get girls to the theater. Sure, it was nice for Looney Tunes to have a female character that wasn't Granny or the cat that Pepe LePew stalks, but they didn't make her a character...

    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    There will always be good stuff and terrible stuff and a lot of stuff in between. We just tend to nostalgically remember the good things and completely forget the bad things. We may remember one or two terrible things because they were so bad, but you'll hear more people waxing over the great...

    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    Yawn... Disposable. We'll all forget it in a week. Most pop Music is Disposable. Unless it has star feature drawn by a big musical celebrity, everyone will forget it if it's a one hit wonder.

    Palisades-style Hanna-Barbera figures

    Kinda wish Jazzwares would do a Dasdardly and Muttley. But the small Quick Draw sounds great. I just hope they have a second line of Nicktoons. Maybe a general retail version of the Ren and Stimpy figures for those who missed that 2 month period Target had them. I so want a Rocko... and a...

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    Shrek 3 was sloppy. It had some good concepts... the high school for royalty, the Princess resistance force, the villains taking over to try and get their own happy endings... even Shrek being a father worked pretty well. It plays better on television. Othet than that, it was just a bunch of...

    International skits on Youtube...

    Uh... interesting direction they went in for Cookie's voice. Especially since the character traditionally has a low pitched voice.

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    AS shows (at least certain ones) tend to go overboard with that kind of humor. Robot Chicken especially. I love adult animation and all, but writing around censorship is far more clever than saying something outright. Like the Finger Prints joke from Animaniacs. You hear that on Family Guy...

    Fraggle Rock returning to The Hub April 21, 2013

    And his chemistry with Karen/Red is perfect too. I wouldn't mind John being the official Gobo now. In fact, I hope it's permanent. They just need a project for the Fraggles to be in. (Off topic... anyone else think that the Doozers cartoon, if not getting on PBS, should go to The Hub?)

    Increase in Commercial Television Puppetry

    It needed more Puppet Chang. Would have been a better episode with it. And if they had a Puppet Troy and Abed in the Morning instead of that lame blooper reel. I absolutely loved Puppet Abed. Looked like some freaky love child of Guy Smiley and Beaker. Troy looked like Cousin Skeeter...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Ah yes. SNL's Bobby Moynihan. Also known as the guy who hugged Big Bird during the end credits of the episode he had a cameo in. Something tells me this is going to be a great appearance. He clearly loves working with the Muppets. Heck, he was a Muppet at one point. When they did the...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Eh... that's questionable if it's a canonical thing that's really happening or not. I don't count it, nor do I count Postcards from Buster. And Also, I left out Marc Brown's creator cameo as the guy who created Bionic Bunny. That was too brilliant to make fun of.

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    Generally, everyobody has a love hate idea with sequels. They naturally become involved with the characters (at least when they're good or engaging) and they want to see more of them in different situations. Problem is, half the time, they don't measure up to what the viewers have in their...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    I'm glad it isn't. This way, they have to be way more clever in writing around censorship. We'd just have obvious sex and drug references, and that's easy humor. Regular Show derives its humor from odd situations coming out of mundane ones. No drugs or alcohol... it's really happening...

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    Sequels are hard, but let's face it... more often than not they really aren't bad. What's the best Star Wars movie? Empire Strikes Back. Does anyone really care about Batman Begins, or do they just want to cut to the more exciting Dark Knight? Shrek 2 was better than the first (of course the...

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

    Snickers again... Hard cider pre-dates regular cider. In fact, certain parts of the world, you ask for cider, you get the hard kind. But take it from a 30 year old teetotaler. Alcohol does indeed taste bad until you get a taste for it. Straight up stuff is like stomach acid, only much less...

    Saban Plans New Superhero Series

    If this is indeed Pretty Cure... they're going to retitle it Gangam Girls. Essentially, that's like calling an American dubbed new series based on Battle Ship Yammato "The Amazing Adventures of All Your Base Are Belong to Us." Even if it isn't a dubbed Japanese cartoon and their original...
