    Family Guy Movie... Oy Vey...

    But here's the thing. FG is an overrated show, but that means it's popular. Meanwhile the guy behind Oogieloves, one of the biggest flops in history, is trying for 3 more films. I'd rather something people genuinely like shoved down my throat to someone desperately trying to make something...

    Yet again, Muppet Merch is MIA this Holiday Season:(

    Yeah, that stuff is alright, but that's far end of the scale stuff that would look better if there was more of a character saturation in other stores. I do like that there's homegoods and bandaids, and that's a good start. But it almost seems Disney is sort of ignoring the fact that Muppet...

    Roger Rabbit 2 script completed, 3D being used

    Not to mention how very important being ink and paint was for the original movie. There was a way to kill toons, because the plot really was about Judge Doom, whatever toon he was, wanted complete and utter genocide of the toons so he could build a freeway. And we all know the only way to kill...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    It's an overrated book, and the best way to milk that cash cow is to make a movie. And I don't see it being anything but porn. And sloppy erotica at that.

    Family Guy Movie... Oy Vey...

    Family Guy would definitely go R. There's no question about that, and the DVD version will be even deeper than that. The movie simply wouldn't work as a PG-13 movie... Though I'd tend to think the Studio would almost force a PG-13 upon them, because Teenagers are their biggest audience. But...

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    Yeah. Charlie Sheen went nuts and left, Angus Jones went nuts and went on a diatribe about how evil the show was. When 2 of your core actors go crazy and say nasty things about you, you KNOW the show should have ended by now.

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Now for another stupid movie to overreact to on the opposite end of the scale... Apparently Universal has the rights to the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. How do I know? I read this article with basically the FUNNIEST thing I've ever heard. Essentially Universal is suing the producers of a...

    Yet again, Muppet Merch is MIA this Holiday Season:(

    I say this all the time, but the first film was such a surprise Toyetic hit that it took weeks for Target and other retailers to get the small die cast cars back in stock. They sold like hot cakes that first time. The second film was done pretty much for the merchandising, and they over...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    That's a bit Harsh. Remember, production companies traditionally seek out other production companies, and while Dreamworks owns all it's films, it constantly needs partners to distribute those films in theaters. Especially since Santa Claus Switch was fairly early in Jim's career before he...

    Any word on Sesame Street Volume 3 for iTunes?

    I completely and utterly fail to see why they can't make full, classic episodes of Sesame Street available on Hulu, yet they've had the original Electric Company on there for some time. Maybe it's because they have to break for real commercials every so often? I just wonder if a huge hunk of...

    Yet again, Muppet Merch is MIA this Holiday Season:(

    I don't see why there shouldn't be more more stuff. I mean, the plush toys kept selling out last year, not continuing that item was foolish. I'm glad there are little dumb nickle and dime things and those POP figures, but they really need much more market penetration than that. I have yet to...

    Family Guy Movie... Oy Vey...

    Ted was the best thing Seth had done in years. It had a lot of the hallmarks of his usual stuff... they even managed to get "foreign guy who's been in the country long enough to almost sound American," even played by the same guy who played him on the show. But it also managed to be full of...

    Roger Rabbit 2 script completed, 3D being used

    Roger Rabbit will NOT work as a CGI hybrid because they're not supposed to be CGI characters. It's not a visual aspect, it's a very important plot point. Unless CGI uses trickery to make it look like full on hand drawn animation, it's going to do a complete disservice to the franchise. It...

    Did Anybody HATE The Gummibar Christmas Special That Aired On Vortexx

    I've seen stranger... much, much stranger. A better kind of strange too. There's just something about new Christmas specials. They seem to miss the mark and repeat exact story lines of better ones. I saw that Hoops and Yoyo Ruin Christmas thing a week ago. It was cute and okay, I guess...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I'd rather see Whoopi than ever having Rob "Derp de derr" Schnider in a Muppet film ever again. I wish that they signed a restraining order against him after Muppets From Space. He shouldn't even shoot a film in the same studio as a Muppet... though, that doesn't seem too much of a problem these...

    Did Anybody HATE The Gummibar Christmas Special That Aired On Vortexx

    Most new and current Christmas specials are just awful. It rarely phases me anymore. I only caught like 5 minutes of it. Nothing remarkable at all, nothing mindnumbingly horrible. I dunno... As long as it wasn't that depressing as heck CGI cartoon about the Reindeer that I can't remember the...

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    The show went through phases since the 90's. That's only due to the constant changing of children's television and SS unfortunately having to adapt. However, while I'm no big fan of the block format, it's a great deal better than what we had last decade that brought the pre-preschoolers in...

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    I don't see why it shouldn't. It's kinda like Saturday Night Live. It's for future generations and it finds its audience there. It goes through tough runs here and there (though SS was never in the same danger of cancellation), but it always makes a big comeback. All they need to do is...

    The Gravity Falls Thread

    Even if that was the case, and it clearly isn't, they can always do a show without a creator. It tends to suffer on whatever level the creator brought to the series. Sometimes it's a lot (Ren and Stimpy) sometimes, it's very little (American Dad...Seth basically does 2 voices and leaves it at...
