    Henson Alternative Puppet Show Coming To NBC

    You're serious? Look at the facts. Disney was able to get a Muppet Movie out. JHC has been pushing for DC 2 for almost 10 years before it just gave up, and We're still waiting for that Fraggle Rock movie. Passion? You saw Muppets From Space, right? Half of everyone that worked on it was...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    I'd be mixed about an Old School 5. I think a 4th set should break tradition and have 6 episodes to cover up to the first episode of 1990 and then end the old school line for a similar release of "Sesame Street: Slightly more Current." Other than that, I do agree. The 1980's was when Sesame...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Yeah, but you gotta admit Crappy Finding Nemo Ripoff > Oogieloogieloves I'd rather be forced to watch BOTH Reef movies than even a commercial for those Oogs. At least they got the OOG part of it right. The "love" part? Not so much.

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    I'm talking about the 1930's stuff. The only way I ever had access to that stuff was those old, crummy, expired copyright VHS released from the mid-80's. Never saw any of those on TV except for Nick's airings. Local syndication and even official Looney Tunes blocks usually use 1940's-late...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I agree. They're clearly cheaping out getting another studio to do budget animation. Nothing says "we clearly don't care" like downgrading animation THAT much. I don't mean streamlining (like the Kids WB Batman TAS episodes), I'm not saying slightly cheaper overseas studio (heck, most...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    They're the exception, not the rule. The only time I've ever seen an independently produced idea become a TV cartoon series is if someone comes to the creator, and even then, said creators usually have a sliding scale of slim to quite a bit actually of say in the show. Fox (and they didn't...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Then he can sit on his ideas when he's living with his parents, like everyone on the internet that's creative does. Actually, Fox pretty much bought the rights to it when it was Cartoon Network short. They were going to put that cartoon as shorts for MadTV. At least they don't have the...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    It's going to severely hurt the look of the show. There's a lot of shows that are flash, but there's an awful lot that are just digitally colored and hand drawn animated (by Koreans, but still traditionally drawn). Curious George enjoys some very fluid digital traditional animation to sort of...

    Re-read my post... I edited a LOT of info on it.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    It's very sad for me to say this, but considering this is the way the show's been going I have to ask: Okay... what's WRONG with her? I found it out. She's not teaching kids about another disorder or disease or whatever... however, her episode debut is about her being a habitual liar making...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I can't help you there. I doubt it got that much more. I hear some places just pulled the mess all together. I swear, those Film Snob guys or whatever they are must be right. The budget must've been big ONLY because they had to bribe theaters to show the thing. There's NO WAY this should...

    How can someone hate Elmo?

    I admit, I'm just a little excited about it. ANYTHING has got to be better than Elmo's World at this point. Except "Time to Play." I hope whoever forced that on the show was fired or something.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Butt covering. I still think it was useless. If they said something to the extent of "these are for collectors, and your child might not be as interested in them as you are," it probably would have worked better. They say something in a rather roundabout way that translates into "kids are...

    Archaia to Reprint Marvel Fraggle Comics

    Tell you the truth? The best part of these Marvel reprints are your amazing covers. :D

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    Out of all the Looney Tunes cartoon compilations made for broadcast television, it certainly was the most diverse. Even local syndicated packages never did anything earlier than the mid-40's. And later cartoons? Forget about it. While I admit the mid-40's to late 50's was the cream of the...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Don't I know it. It seems either completely intentional, or out of fear of angry letters from very dim people. If it's one thing no one wants, it's letters from barely literate people who get upset over anything trivial. But that's what you have to deal with as a children's TV producer. As...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    No... there is. It's just where you wouldn't expect it. Though, let's be honest. True originality hasn't existed since Greek Myth telling days. All the things that make a story have been around for eons. A basic plot is someone has to get something, get somewhere, get somebody, and face up...

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

    A little late, but, the ORIGINAL Summer comic cover made a lot more sense.

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    I can't tell you how much I hate seeing boxes of"Ouisp" with a human nose on Quisp, or bags of "Let's" chips. I always thought to myself, seeing products in a show makes it cheap... but the bland name fakers make it look far more like a cartoon and completely unrealistic. No one wants that...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    I think it's the whole hysteria about the fact they had one film about inner city kids playing in an abandoned construction site. I don't remember exactly what episode that was on, though. Like I said, I like vol 1, but vol 2 gets a LOT more play for me. But it really feels like SW was actually...
