    TV shows you wish would come back

    Yeah.... the thing is that IS happening, but I think you're going to have to move to France to see it. Well, okay... you probably can find it online in French. Still have no idea when it's supposed to happen, though.

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

    Dave did Looney Tunes comics long before the Muppet Show comic book came around. In fact, it was only due to his Muppet fan arts that he even got recognized by Boom.

    Arthur: The Classics

    That's one of the older episodes they seem to rerun endlessly. Actually, that's due in part to it being one of the episodes they used when they used to have kid's pledge month. They had a limited amount of these because they actually cut out the "Talk to some Kids" segment to make room for...

    Abby's Flying Fairy School

    I see no difference between CGI Abby and Cel animated Muppet Babies. All and all, it's just an animated version of Muppets that doesn't take away from the originals. If Sesame Workshop were to replace ALL the Muppets with CGI animation, then I'd agree. But I know that they'd think that was a...

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

    I wish they'd put the disclaimer on it that was more honest. "We released this because classic Sesame Street fans wouldn't stop badgering us. This is not intended for near sighted grandmas to buy for their preschool aged grandchildren. Elmo's not mugging the camera every five minutes so we...

    You learn something new every day...

    DSnowth will like this one. I found this one out a while ago... but you know the crappy 1970's cartoon "Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan?" Klinger freaking wrote it! Seriously! He's even on the Saturday morning Cartoons 1970's Volume 1 special feature about that series to talk about it...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    But it would be more of an impressive feat to fail at a time when people were actually seeing movies. This really speaks to the confidence this movie had. Last DAY of August. August is the death month for most movies. Sure, that's when people see the blockbusters at dollar cinemas and...

    Sony's repackaged Muppet DVDs

    But the problem is, these are marketed directly to little kids (something I hate in the Muppets, but works fine with Elmo), and they want a simple, non-cluttered, colorful cereal box look so they can pop out from the other overly colorful, cereal box looking DVD's.... where in-lies the FLAW...

    TV shows you wish would come back

    Ah, Earl... NBC said "We're going to cancel it." Then Garcia said "Fine! I'll wrap it up!" Then NBC says,"NAW, we're gonna wait and see about that. Do that cliff hanger ending you wanted." "Fine," Says Garcia. Then NBC says "You know what? it's too late, but we're completely screwing...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Eh... summer is over. Box office gross for all movies are slipping. The core audience of this is probably in preschool or daycare of some kind, not that they really were itching to see it anyway.

    TV shows you wish would come back

    Internet: The place where The Dark Knight Rises had The Riddler as a villain 2 months after The Dark Knight came out. And Dragon Ball AF is a series too. Everything's a hoax unless you get actual confirmation from the actual creators. Sometimes not even then. There's NO WAY I believe...

    Abby's Flying Fairy School

    Any problems I have with Abby's School are the same problems I have with the block format, trying to turn Sesame Street into a programming block, rather than a TV show. Mainly, the fact it has to be on every episode instead of alternating with the Ernie and Bert claymation adventures or...

    How can someone hate Elmo?

    Any character in the same 15 minute plotless segment full of blunt repetition on one subject would probably be bad in it. It was a pretty poorly designed segment. The only highlights were the E-mail from another character and the channel of the day cartoons. Compare that with Abby's Flying...

    If there ever was a season six of the Muppet show.....

    Robin Williams WAS on the short list of potential guest stars if they ever made a season six. But Jim thought five was enough, so we never got that. Kinda a shame.

    TV shows you wish would come back

    There's a rumor circulating that Powerpuff Girls is coming back next year. I'm mixed about that... season 6 wasn't exactly a strong season, and they pretty much ran out of ideas halfway through season 5. That crazy rock opera episode was supposed to be the last one. there's been a rumor that...

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

    I certainly hope so. I read it last night and it really seems like a meh finale... almost as if Roger planned on having someone take on the reigns of the comic back when they still had the license. It's all about Pops having to retire because he hit the age when it's required by the...

    What do the Swedes think of the Swedish Chef?

    Eh... I thought they just dub him as some other country, like Germany does. He's the Danish Chef over there, right? Never once did I see him make a danish.

    Sony's repackaged Muppet DVDs

    Don't laugh! It looks like those two were actually an effort. In so much the fact that they erased everything but the background. it looks like the Elmo one took the Elmo on the cover and just blew him up to show his massive head. Given Elmo in Grouchland, that's sort of apropos! But...
