    Anybody On Here Like Grinch Grinches The Cat In The Hat?

    Random House randomly changed the title of two of those specials. For some reason this special got that title, and "Halloween is Grinch Night" was retitled "It's Grinch Night." This was a great special. I really liked how it gave the Grinch more character development. I mean, look at the...

    Ricky Gervais in Talks to Star in 'Muppets' Sequel

    I don't see why people always freak out about someone who genuinely loves the Muppets and has a passion for working with them. Especially one that was in the last movie, but ended up on the cutting room floor. There's some great fourth wall jokes they can put in about that, actually. Think...

    Wait a Minute... "DreamWorks' Dragons"? What?

    How much prior knowledge of the movie do you need to enjoy the series? I watched the movie's Snoggletogg special last night and I was almost totally lost.

    Hot Wheels releasing an Electric Mayhem Bus

    Yeah. I've seen the DC comics assortment of that. they're pretty fun collectibles, but not half as interesting as the unique cars from their respective comics. Which brings me to: The DC comics Hot Wheels actually have both iconic vehicles (mainly different versions of Bat vehicles) and...

    International skits on Youtube...

    I never really found those dubs to be as interesting as the original characters anyway.

    When you need to rant...

    Mass murder or nothing, I don't like the idea of anyone skulking around a school. No one's saying fortress, no one's saying prison. Not an armed security guard posted by every door, just a couple cameras around the outside to make sure suspicious people wandering school property for a...

    Sesame Street to tackle divorce, for real this time

    I'm preprogrammed to think of this whenever I hear "Play Safe." Because every dollar store cartoon compilation, both VHS and DVD is required by law to have it. As for that one, scaring the crap out of kids so they'd behave was a freaking market in Germany. You know, the story about the kid...

    When you need to rant...

    They're protected all too well by the Constitution. Yet, where is the realization that this is a dangerous cult? If it was any religion besides supposed mainstream Christianity, they'd have raids. They're going around with signs thanking God for 9/11. If they were anything but Christian, the...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    I swear that the tiny power atheists have is all focused on the wrong area. Why aren't they going after the WBC, and getting them to be redefined as a terrorist group? Why aren't they coming out in droves in support of gay rights? Oh yeah. They want an easy to defeat target. I still think...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    Atheists don't have quite the power everyone says they do. They pull down a couple Nativity scenes in a couple states. There's something I don't get at all. More people would be offended by it being gone, why do they always take them down? SIMPLE! State governments are letting this happen...

    Sesamstrasse's 40th birthday

    That said, where the heck is this Mahna Mahna? I saw pictures of it on the wiki this morning, and I'm dying to see it.

    Sesamstrasse's 40th birthday

    That's a mixed bag. It does strip the identity away from the foreign co-production, but Muppet characters look better. The Original Brazilian Sesame Street was frightening! That's supposed to be their Oscar?! It's the most terrifying kid's show character I've ever seen. Lovecraft could...

    International skits on Youtube...

    I doubt there's enough footage on the American show that really makes sense in that context. Plus, it doesn't seem like that's ever been a big concern. The American skits that were dubbed are basically there to say "Hey! Our culture isn't completely different from yours because we use the...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    Oh definitely. Half of everything we associate with Christmas were absorbed from Solstice celebrations and everything else was just built up from that. That's the fun stuff. The spiritual stuff (which frankly doesn't even have anything to do with family so much as commemorating the birth of...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Other than MCC and TMM, when did Robin have any screen time? I hope this next film changes that, but I totally understand if he's not there.

    Muppet Film and TV References

    Here's one we totally overlooked because it was a deleted sequence... Family Guy TOTALLY referenced the Mad Painter It comes in at 5:29 and lasts barely a couple seconds. I think that's his actual voice too. Be sure to watch the scene with James Woods after it. It becomes a Brick joke...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    Here's another question. Would anyone care about the holiday if it were to revert back to its original religious meaning and everything that makes Christmas fun were stripped away for religious reflection and meditation? It would be little more than a religious duty that I'm guessing only the...

    Roger Rabbit 2 script completed, 3D being used

    If they didn't try it twice before with 2 sequels with, let's face it, goofy plots. Everyone has been clamoring for a Roger Rabbit sequel. It's going to be another situation where everyone wants it, but no one likes it, sure... but I'd rather they make a sequel that does nothing to the...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    According to Tough Pigs, one of the "special features" is basically a static image of Oscar and MJ with a seizure inducing background with MJ's small bit of dialogue remixed to crappy techno music. If that's not milking the most of a celeb that was in there for 20 seconds, I don't know what was.
