    The Great Space Coaster

    Yeah, I believe residuals are what actors and performers are paid whenever a show they starred on is shown in reruns, whereas royalties are fees you have to pay copyright holders for use of their work on the show, especially when it's released on DVD and thus a commercial product. For...

    The Chipmunks

    There's rumors it's going to air on Qubo, but nothing's been confirmed about that.

    The Great Space Coaster

    Oh, no, those are royalties, but you're right, it's a fee that's paid to whoever owns the copyright of a song that's used on a show.

    The Chipmunks

    I just wonder why they haven't released Simon or Theodore's designs yet. Either way, I'm hoping it's a good show, the movies have been leaving a lot to be desired, but I do kind of hope the new show is a little truer to the characters. I still wonder, though, what their size will be in...

    The Great Space Coaster

    I know that, but what exactly does that have to do with residuals? Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't residuals money the actors/performers receive for everytime their show is aired in reruns? I'm not sure if they did that at the time, and on a kiddy show that went first-run syndication.

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    They're planning on releasing it in theaters, so surely just about anyone will have a chance of seeing it.

    Roosevelt Franklin may return in Sesame Street Season 45

    I'm pretty sure Roosevelt participated in an opening sequence where various different residents on the street, humans, kids, and Muppets did the alphabet, one at a time (him doing R for Roosevelt, of course).

    The Great Space Coaster

    Do they even do residuals for syndicated kiddy shows? Did they even do residuals back then?

    The Great Space Coaster

    I just learned on their Facebook page that they had finished preserving 20 episodes of the show, and that they're planning on another fundraiser to see if they can preserve even more episodes.

    The Chipmunks

    Apparently the new show, which is being renamed ALVINNN!!! AND THE CHIPMUNKS, has been delayed until 2015, for whatever reason.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Considering it takes time to produce and animate the episodes, it's possible they picked up on the references during the writing process, but said references were passe by the time they're completed and aired. I mean, the Love Ducks episode was what... two years after Teletubbies came to...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Ugh. I just read the synopsis for the first half of Season 17 (official summaries, not fanmade one)... gah, they sound TERRIBLE. The entire first episode of a double dose of those godawful talking Pal and Kate episodes, not the mention like half of the episodes are basically ripoffs of other...

    I was talking about YT's homepage, not Google's.

    Your dream voice cast

    Maybe you can do like the Kroffts, have the human characters played by live actors, and the others are life size, full bodied puppets.

    When you need to rant...

    NOW the Reps are saying Obama is going have all Americans implanted with microchips in their foreheads because he's the Anti-Christ. Don't these idiots know that Alice Cooper is the Anti-Christ? :p

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

    But you see my point don't you? Back in the day, social media was "evil", and you needed to avoid sites like MySpace, but nowadays, social media is a "necessity" and you have to have Facebook to prove you exist. :p
