    Romney wants ads during Sesame Street

    I'd give them bonus points for taking the high road, no doubt... but that's like inviting the class bully to a birthday party. You try to be the bigger man, but everyone just grits their teeth and feigns a smile. Though it would be punishing her instead of her husband if they did blacklist...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    This is the barest linkage to the Muppets there is, but here's a Marvel "What The..??" that's a promo for the Marvel Vs Capcom X-box rerelease thing... Why I post this you ask? Captain America is holding the large pan from the Swedish Chef playset, and Modoc is drinking the Rat Poison that...

    Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

    I try very hard not to worry, but it really seems like Romney, on his squillionth reboot since the convention, pulled it out of his butt on the debate last night. His performance was all attitude and bringing up Solara (which lost a miniscule fraction of government money that was completely lost...

    Romney wants ads during Sesame Street

    If Romney does get elected (biting my own tongue and throwing salt over my shoulders), I want Sesame Street to blacklist Ann from coming on the show as part of their tradition of inviting first ladies.

    Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

    Dinosaurs defined Trickle down in the most honest way possible. If I can remember the quote, it was something like, sometimes rich dinosaurs have so much money it trickles out of their pockets and falls out so other dinosaurs can grab it. Trickle down didn't work 8 years ago, it didn't work...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    I'm not really going to complain about reused segments, as I said... that's basically par now. But did they even make any new Super Grover 2.0 segments this year? I understand if, budget wise, ETM came first. It's just disappointing if they didn't. And if they did, I'm surprised they didn't...

    Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

    The more I hear that the less I believe it. The whole "they're exactly the same" bit is getting old. There's a grain of truth to it, sure, but there wouldn't be this much discord if that were completely true. There IS a difference. Romney wins, it will be the SAME dreadful 8 years of being...

    Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

    I expressed this somewhere else... Of all the Tiny Toon Adventures characters running for office, why do we have to deal with Montana Max? Subsidy to PBS? BAD! Billions in dollars in corporate welfare to the already thriving oil industry that fabricates its own shortages? Absolutely necessary.

    Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

    There are those on the far right that have a vendetta with kid's programming in general. Sesame Street especially. The whole "you're kids are going to be TOLERANT!" bit, because tolerant turns your kids into Dr. Frankenfurter or some sort of straw gay man. Much as I hate Mitt, he's not one of...

    The Worst Teen Revamp Ever?

    The show would be great if the dub didn't suck! What I really hate is that lousy "Bullets" music... well, I'm not sure it was the Bullets, but they massacre anime scores with generic music. And people complain about 4Kids... The worst of it? There's a scene in one episode that's obviously a...

    There's got to be more stories. I love to hear about production problems in cartoons.

    The Muppet Show Comic Book: the Four Seasons V1 out now

    The last issue is out. I'm not thrilled with goony looking Fozzie Bear and mini-Kermit substituting for Robin on the cover. Though, oddly enough, it works better than the ski resort cover Langridge did, as they weren't at a ski resort at all in the issue. It's a shame we didn't get these last...

    Shows you hate but love?

    Still doesn't resemble it at all. The humor is completely different. It's more like slacker/stoner humor without the drugs. It could easily be on Adult Swim. Ren and Stimpy is basically a wannabe old school cartoon that actually seems like it, at least with the John K. episodes. They don't...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    That's strange... the SW website lists it as Thursday, and my local PBS website says the same thing (at the moment). So, to be safe, check out both days in case something changed.

    Shows you hate but love?

    One of my mutual followers on Youtube put it up a while back... Basically, Sabrina wished that her friend and her aunts were in a pop band with her (obvious Spice Girls parody), and then they wind up breaking up with very obvious references to other famous groups. Even making a joke about the...

    Shows you hate but love?

    And I'm double posting because I might as well add this one as the shows that I watch anyway but don't like. Sabrina the Animated Series. Now, I'm not saying it's a bad show... it has its moments, and there are some episodes I rather enjoy. But I just don't care too much for it, especially...

    Shows you hate but love?

    Not even close. They're two entirely different shows with two entirely different modes of humor. That's like saying every cartoon duo is Ren and Stimpy. If you said Beavis and Butt-Head, it's slightly closer. But it's far from what Ren and Stimpy is about. I'd say Regular Show is more...

    Things you miss

    They could go with Elmo and not the block format. It is giving them higher ratings, and the character specific segments are pretty good (just repeated too many times). But I've been missing the old format since the dramatic shift in the 2002 season. And once they tried to move away from it...

    The Worst of SpongeBob

    I gotta start buying more Spongebob DVD's. I think I have every commercially available FOP one, though. I wish they'd get around to putting that one in commercially available box sets.
