    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    The strange thing is, these are the exact same complaints we've heard WELL before Disney bought the Muppets. The Muppets are Flanderized? That Macy's Day Parade performance to promote VMX which was nothing but Piggy and Kermit soullessly chasing each other... That was Flanderization. I think...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    I really don't bother with these repackaged reruns disguised as new episodes... I REALLY hope next season they have the budget to avoid them. Was their anything worth mentioning in this episode? I just switched it on around the time ETM came on. I did miss the opening if the Detective one...

    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    I get the guy's opinion is his own and he's welcome to it. After all, he hates one of the greatest things to happen to the Muppets before the movie that everyone else loves (the Bohemian Rhapsody viral video), and he expresses concern that two of the Muppets Tonight characters that are almost...

    International skits on Youtube...

    Friends in The House from the new Shalom Sesame: OOF! That's why I never liked the half dubbed clips. Even now, it's horridly clumsy. The English audio is clear and crisp, the Hebrew audio is all muddy. Why, when the Count and Elmo enter the house, you can hear just a bit of their...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I'm bumping this because every time I rewatch the episode where Buster steals the Cybertoy, I get more and more annoyed at it. It's not a bad episode, but it's so incredibly Anvilicious AND klutzy with its message. Here's why... this is NOT the first time Buster stole something and NOT the...

    Palisades-style Hanna-Barbera figures

    The Xplus toys have hit the stores, and I'm very disappointed by their shrimp size and huge price tag. Not even any accessories! I really want that Dick Dasdardly, but not for 15-20 bucks for something G.I. Joe sized. I guess it's because it's imported. But the Scooby-Doo stuff you find at...

    "Sid the Science Kid: The Movie" in the works!

    Actually, it was 2009 with the intent to get it on the air Fall of 2010. Either the show ran into production problems or no one was willing to buy the series, and it just sat their until recently.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Every character should have a spotlight collection, even ones that had one before. Cookie Monsters Best Bites was followed by (quite some time later) C is for Cookie. If Telly had a best of, I'd leap at the chance of getting it. As far as I'm concerned, I wanna see them do another "Best of...

    Oscars 2013

    Seth was out of his element. He's done a live show before, but it was a private show for writers back when they were on strike. The other show wasn't exactly live, but it played to Family Guy fans. We're talking about someone who's a career cartoonist that can act and sing, but he does not...

    Toy Fair 2013?

    Now that I think about it... How many of the things released in previous Toy Fairs did we actually see vs. stuff that was never shown at TF that we got anyway (mostly Disney Store/theme park exclusives)? We were supposed to see Muppet Kooshballs. That never happened... we didn't see the much...

    Oscars 2013

    Yeah. Sloppy and troubled. When someone gets shooed off their own movie, it's never a good sign. Look at MFS! Or worse... Hoodwinked 2! Yikes. I know you don't wanna buy the Blu, but I'd recommend borrowing it and just watching it with commentary. I'm sure they'll point out all the screw...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    I'm sure they probably put that one together before hand, but it would be cool if they did.

    Yeah, Another movie version of Annie in the works.

    You know what the gold thing about Will Smith producing the remake is? The fact they're doing it with an African American cast is sure to bring out the racism in the "I'm not a racist" people. They already flipped a turd when Jamie Foxx was cast as Electro in Amazing Spider-Man 2. It's going...

    Oscars 2013

    I really disagree about worse than Cars 2. Brave was a noble idea that fell apart in the middle and could have gone with an extra year or so in script treatment. Cars 2 was a toy commercial. A fun toy commercial, but a toy commercial none the less. it was to sell toys to little boys who have...

    Yeah, Another movie version of Annie in the works.

    Really? Seriously? How will I respond to that, you ask? How's this? I always freaking hated that stupid musical and the crappy, passive aggressively libertarian comic strip that was based off of. I don't care who remakes it, what they do to it or whatever... it's going to suck as it...

    Oscars 2013

    That's kinda reading too into it. It really seems they wanted the witch to be hands off and kinda trolly. Seems like she could have been used as a narrator or something. I kinda wish there was a big reveal at the end that the Witch didn't really go to the big witches convention or whatever...

    Oscars 2013

    The Witch was the best part of the film. I'd say she was Miyazakian! But she disappears in the picture for a crucial plot point. I get that her disappearance was vital to one of the messages of the film. Merida did use magic to solve the situation, the situation gets worse but she has to...

    IDW to publish CN comics

    I hate the fact that I missed most of the Space Ghost comics because they sold out before I could get them most of the time. Unfortunately, SG fell out of Vouge quite some time ago. There's still some good stuff on adult Swim, but it's hardly as fun as the HB cartoon parodies they used to have...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I too would prefer a new spotlight on Grover DVD set over just Super Grover 2.0 segments. They really haven't done character best ofs since Best of Elmo 2... and considering that Elmo is Sesame Street's meal ticket, they should have called it "The Best of Elmo with even more famous people."

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    The very same. The Necco ones are the official ones, BTW. They replaced icky white with blue raspberry and completely upped the flavors. Now they're slightly better than Sweetarts. Still a far cry from anything half as good as Easter candy. But now this stuff that you're basically compelled...
