    Your dream TV show music settings.

    I always find certain instruments to be very interesting, like the synthesizer, the xylophone, and this one panflute you'd hear in an educational show like this... http://www.televisiontunes.com/Eyewitness.html So if I had a show, I would include these instruments.

    The Letter People

    This posting about alphabet-based characters reminds me of a book series called Sweet Pickles. There are 26 different animals making up the letters of the alphabet, and each one has a different personality. And yes, there is an animal beginning with X: Xerus, which I believe is a term for the...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    They really should start making a sketch about the letter C having at least two C sounds. Whenever they show words that start with C, they ALWAYS have a 'kuh' sound. There are others with a 'suh' sound, too, like 'celery,' 'city,' and 'centipede.' And let's not forget the CH words, like 'cheese'...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    I don't get why some folks are dissing TV-G-rated shows. If you're looking for the family-friendly charm seen in older shows (e.g. Leave it to Beaver), the shows on the Disney Channel, and Hallmark perhaps, are as close as you can get nowadays. It really is possible to entertain audiences...

    Pet Peeves

    I couldn't agree with D'Snowth more. The English language is being ruined and we hardly realize it. And you know what I'm vexed about? A certain word is seldom used to describe someone who is cheery, upbeat, and in a good mood - nowadays it's being used to refer to someone who is, how you say...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    Scott Menville did do a voice in a TV show within a TV show: Crognard the Barbarian (as Spooch) on TMNT. You can sense a bit of Robin in many of Scott's voices, even in Sneezy from The 7D.

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    To be honest, I do like TMNT better when it comes to tuning into Nickelodeon. What's odd is that it had more new episodes aired within the past year, and even though Spongebob had just one plus the movie after KCA 2014, it still succeeds. I'm hoping more cartoons, including Harvey Beaks, will be...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    Believe it or not, this show has won favorite cartoon in KCA for the 12th time. What part of "enough is enough" do they not understand? I was hoping funnier shows, like Wander Over Yonder or Uncle Grandpa, and well-thought-out shows, like Gravity Falls or Steven Universe, would be nominated, but...

    Pet Peeves

    Believe it or not, "whom" is actually used the same way "him," "her," and "they" are used. For instance, "for whom the bell tolls" is equivalent to "the bell tolls for whom." Replace "whom" with "them" and you get "the bell tolls for them." "Whom" is the pronoun most people overlook when using a...

    Eric Jacobson performs Oscar on Sprout's Sunny Side Up Show

    Remarkable! Now I'm starting to wonder who will take Fran Brill's place in performing Prairie Dawn and Zoe.

    You sure have clever uses for the characters!

    Everyone loves the Homestar Runner!

    Guess what, the site is up and running again! The latest (and longest) cartoon is now up! Just in time for Halloween, too! http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween14.html Oh, and during the scene with the King of Town and the Poopsmith, click on the shovel when you see it to unlock a scene with Homsar.

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I've always wondered why Pepe doesn't wear the green shirt and blue jacket anymore. I mean, with a black sweater and necklace, he seems a bit... less colorful. Also, I saw an article on Muppet Wiki about a TV special about The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow. If that ever comes out, I'd be...

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    Do you think there will be an updated title sequence? My favorite is the Calypso version that came in the early '90s, by the way. And you know something? Zoe doesn't have dreadfully small eyes anymore, which is why I think the sequence could be revised.

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    After more than 10 years on the air, you'd think they'd throw in new recurring characters. Or at least bring in animals new to the show. I believe they already had a killer whale, a sea lion, a dolphin, sea urchins, and whelks, but there are plenty of sea creatures yet to be used, like sea...

    What irks me is seeing online posts with objectionable content and really really bad words in them in various social networks. I'm, of course, referring to words much worse than those that don't bother me so much, such as h--l and d--n. I mean, do some people using the Internet not know to think...

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    It's rather odd that some parodies are based on "adult" shows and songs, I mean many things that were parodied in the '70s and '80s were family-oriented. And my predictions? 70% of male-sounding anything/animal/food Muppets will be performed by Joey Mazzarino, and 80% of female-sounding...

    Anyone Can Make Cartoons

    Pure poetry. Now these are words I can definitely live by!

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    I know what you mean. And just think, if you plan to keep the show running longer, at least make sure it's up with the times. The title sequence is in serious need of an update. Personally, I find the use of overseas animation pretty commonplace and less effective.

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    As someone who's watched this show in its early years, I, too, have noticed how unpleasant the show can be in terms of story and presentation. And I couldn't agree more with Blu3Danny. The citizens of Bikini Bottom do get hostile to the point where they become predictable. In fact, the...
