    Anybody Remember These?

    So... anyone else like the Smurfs better than the Snorks, or is it just me? Maybe the Flemmish comics the Snorks are based off are better than the show. I know the Belgian Smurf comics are. Know what I miss? Being able to watch cartoons at ALL on broadcast television without watching PBS. I...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Sadly, that's not quite correct. Adults might get sick of reruns, but apparently kids love them. I don't see why, but then again we live in an age of internet and DVD's, where we can watch something once and be content to watch it again in time. But aside from that, SW really can't help...

    Sort of Tiny Toons Season 2 coming to DVD

    Except it's missing an episode Now, I find this just obstinate. The episode was banned because it was sarcastic and it would suppoedly harm kids... but who the heck are they fooling? There is no one under the age of 25 that would buy this DVD collection. I'm sure they can manage the parody...

    Your favorite Looney Tunes characters

    You know... I would say everyone but Lola Bunny and those two overly agreeable gophers... but The Looney Tunes Show actually made them better. Scratch that. It made them funny! Actually... they made the gophers funny in a Duck Dodgers... but considering I really hated those characters to...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Ah... Now I remember. I think I mixed it up with another segment. Elmo's World: Play orbs is a worst case scenario that even Abby's Flying School didn't surpass, thankfully. And thanks for the help.

    Aging Characters: Good or Bad?

    And it's not even new, either. Who could forget the Pebbles and Bam Bam show? Someone with one HECK of a repressed memory, that's who!

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

    There's a LOT of great cartoons based on movies. Need I bother to mention Real Ghostbusters? And I really think Men in Black the series has better concepts and stories than the second and third movie. Especially the second.

    Aging Characters: Good or Bad?

    I don't get the Dora thing. Still don't. In fact, I swear I only saw like 2 dolls before they discontinued it. It seems like a jaded attempt to get kids that are growing far too old to care about the character to keep buying videos and merchandise.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    I forget, and maybe someone can help me with this... did Elmo's World alternate every couple of episodes the first time, or did they just dive into the every episode portion when it premiered? But I was more than expecting ETM to jump into repeats. I expected to see Guacamole the Musical again...

    Aging Characters: Good or Bad?

    If there's one thing I'll give Family Guy credit for, it's that they actually aged their characters... slowly over time, and mainly in the post-cancellation base breaking seasons, but Bonnie finally had the baby, I think they said Stewie was 2 somewhere (I can't remember), Chris moved on to High...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    At this point, complaining about repeats is futile. We knew they only had 10 of those segments to spread over 26 episodes to begin with... we were just waiting for when they'd start repeating. Personally, I wish they waited until they had the first five aired, but they want to mix things up for...

    Abby's Flying Fairy School

    A couple things... Sesame Street selling merchandise is the furthest thing from new there is. Difference being, SW takes their share of the profits and puts it back into the show. It was always like that, even in the 70's. Secondly, expecting Sesame Street to be the exact same show it was...

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

    As long as it doesn't turn into that Meatball movie, I don't really seem to mind.

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

    Is there any case where they actually keep the premise of the book in these things? There's usually a sliding scale of small changes to make the film fit in a 90 minute time frame or the Disney's Jungle Book method of tossing the book aside and doing whatever the heck they want. I know that...

    Abby's Flying Fairy School

    Again, I don't see how Muppet Babies and Abby's Flying School are any different. AFFS is about as likely to usher in the CGI replacement of Muppets as Muppet Babies and Little Muppet Monsters ushering in and replacing the Muppets with Japanese outsourced animated characters (or Fraggle Rock's...

    Aging Characters: Good or Bad?

    I thought you meant those. Though, there are those cases where they have to replace younger actors because of behind the scenes problems. They had to recast Lilly on Modern Family because of problems with the toddler playing her. And the weird thing is, the original baby that played her was...

    When you need to rant...

    Yeah. They didn't do the research and never actual bothered to see the show. HOWEVER, there was a reverse gender polygamy episode of Raising Hope. But it was played for laughs because a Chuck Cunningham type character disappeared in the second episode, and down the line, they explained the...

    When you need to rant...

    SPIT TAKE.... WHAT?!? WHAT!?! No, no no.... that NEVER happened in the show. Never, not at all, no never ever ever. Uh Uh! I've never seen that episode and I've seen every one produced. It's three related families... who the heck even said that?

    Aging Characters: Good or Bad?

    Are you talking about complete recasts or when the characters inexplicably age 2 years over the summer but are still the same actor? I've seen that last one happen enough.

    Aging Characters: Good or Bad?

    I'm going to stop you right there... Here's the deal with ol' Sparky. He says he didn't want to age characters? He actually did, but in a weird and inconsistent "don't check the earlier installments" kinda way. Lucy was introduced as a precocious toddler. As was Schroeder. Now, these...
