    Video: "Share it Maybe" Sesame Street Parody

    I refuse to watch any of these in so much as the fact that watching covers, parodies, and all that other junk is still just as bad as listening to the real one. Unless Weird Al chimes in, that is.

    The "What Seems to Be in Store for Season 43" Thread

    Eh, doesn't matter to me at all. I usually just follow the schedule on Muppet Wikia anyway.

    Songs You Can't Stand

    TELL me about it! And everyone and their everyone else has to do a moronic Youtube music video for it, like that terrible Tik Tok song from Kei$hia (though I liked the Simpsons version). I refuse to even watch the Sesame Street parodies of it. And there are 2. 2!!

    Muppet Beanbags and Plush at Toys R Us

    It looks like they remembered that Fozzie's nose overlaps his eyes slighly, and not an inch under. These probably look better in turn around. Things usually do. I'm kinda disappointed they didn't have these things at Disney. We got obscure characters from TS3, we should have had at LEAST a...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    Yeah, but by then, PG-13 movies will be made for 7 year olds. There's a sneaky reason why indie films are judged in a different light. Remember the movie "Bully" that they gave an R rating to (or was it NC 17) because of cuss filled insults that every schoolchild is the victim of? A film...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    As this TV Tropes article points out that a PG rating is less than useless. So basically, ratings are given to movies based on underhanded dealings by a bunch of people who make the Mafia look honest. It is virtually impossible to get a G rating now, and not that any studio would want it...

    Possible first episode of Sesamstraat on YouTube

    And that's the least wrong looking thing there too. Guy Smiley's Mouth looks like it comes over his upper lip.

    Muppet Beanbags and Plush at Toys R Us

    See the new Muppet beanbags here! Yeah... not really the best looking things out there (Gonzo's okay, I guess), but that's unfortunately par for Muppet plush to not be the best looking things. But at least we're seeing general retail plush toys.

    Muppet Freak is back...kinda

    What exactly is part two? Will it have something to do with us constantly getting screwed over for Muppet Show season 4 and 5 DVD sets?

    Kid Doesn't Recognize Big Bird

    The problem with that cartoon version was that he was refereed to as a he a couple times, but not frequently enough to distinguish him as such. They fixed that starting with the horrible movies (supposedly, I refuse to watch them) and the better CGI DTV films and new cartoon (where he's a bit...

    Arthur: The Classics

    I found that to be a very forced aspect of the episode. It really seemed like a soapbox for Commercial Free Childhood. They could have done the exact same episode without that needless soap box bit, and still kept the creativity in check. The whole "created so they can sell you stuff" thing...

    Arthur: The Classics

    I'm half and half on that episode. I do love the shout outs to Underdog and Jack Kirby (especially since they can't show anything he ever created without having to pay Marvel), and the whole coming up with your own superhero thing is cute and fun... but the whole "cartoon characters are made to...

    Kid Doesn't Recognize Big Bird

    I'm by no means proud of it, since it's not an easy character to gender confuse... unlike, say, Nermal from Garfield and Friends. With no disrespect to Desiree Goyette, she didn't even try to sound like a woman sounding like a boy (say Bart Simpson). They even translated him as a girl in the...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    SW somehow doesn't give its own audience any credit. They think that the 2 and 3 year olds will be completely baffled by not seeing the same 40 episodes over and over.

    Target Age Gap and Age of Children on the Show

    If they used the target age, we'd have extended sequences like the "Let's talk to a Baby" from Elmo's World. The Target age is that young.

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Here's the problem with the Scooby-Doo movie. They were writing the characters based on A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. No... I'm not kidding. Fred is a goofy idiot, Daphne's vain... Their Pup counterparts. The first film does WAAAAY too much Brady Bunch making fun of the original source... and it...

    Looks like there's a possibility of a new character showing up on the show in the future...

    It's far too much an institution to abruptly cancel. If the Simpsons and SNL are still on the air with no signs of stopping (other than that rumor about the Simpsons ending in 2 years... that was a bluff to get the voice actors back to work), I don't think SS will disappear anytime soon. This...

    Kid Doesn't Recognize Big Bird

    Really? It's been my experience that there were more satisfied reviews than negative ones when it comes to Sesame. You just always get that "I bought this to shut my 1 year old up for a half an hour," review as if the parents just comedically misunderstood the point of Sesame Street. But then...

    Arthur: The Classics

    Hey, I love the fact that Mr. Ratburn's a Scooby-Doo fan... of course it's an Ersatz version... but still, Scooby-Doo and Cake. Ratburn's passion. I swear cake was one of their many aborted running gags in the series. Arthur shoving the whole slice down his mouth in the one with DW lost in...

    Napolean Dynamite: The Animated Series

    I saw them all except the last one. It's a shame it got canceled so quickly and all, but it really felt out of place on that schedule. Not to mention, as I said before, it was a little too late for it. If this thing were on cable, it would have lasted a lot longer than the 5 episode run it...
