    TV Alert: Grover and Telly on Fox and Friends May 31

    Making an example and delegating the blame before any legal recourse can be taken and let it tarnish their "completely flawless record." Seems like a commonplace corporate move. Still, they'll let this crap happen again and again and come off clean.

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    A rough half/less than half of the film would be sufficient. The whole "everything is new to us" exploration of the outside world should be kept to a cliche ridden minimum, and any time spent outside should be useful to the plot. I'd use the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird as an example...

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    I've said time and again, I really wasn't happy with how they handled the Smurfs movie, though I begrudgingly accept that it wasn't quite as horrible as it could have been. But they did such a wonderful job on the Smurf village in that film it was a total waste. If the movie took place there...

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    A Fraggle Rock movie is going to have to take place at least in part in the real world. Ideally, the plotline should be Gobo not getting Matt's Postcards and thinking something happened to him/a Winnie the Pooh-esque misinterpretation of what Matt wrote causing them to think he's in trouble...

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    Reasonable. The writers of the last Muppet movie have already proven themselves worthy of taking up the Muppet mantle, so we're anxiously waiting for what they plan to do next. They gave us a solid Muppet movie that blew all the 1990's ones away, bringing them back to where they should be as a...

    Annoying Characters

    Yeah. The writers don't know what to do with him, so they slap him around. I don't need to say that Bean was lined up to be one of the next big characters and Steve's other big main character other than Rizzo until he took over the role of Kermit and Beaker. Kinda a shame you never see him...

    TV Alert: Grover and Telly on Fox and Friends May 31

    Ah yes. That 1990's Clinton signed FCC deregulation. The same bill that ruined children's TV cartoons that I'm constantly whining about. I don't feel like posting the SNL TV Funhouse "Mediaopoly" sketch again.

    TV Alert: Grover and Telly on Fox and Friends May 31

    So, how about Fox's funding of the Tea Party or their donation of millions of dollars to the Republican Governors Association in 2010? They've surpassed just having a biased to undermining the government. And this from an organization owned by someone who's having problems with illegal wire...

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    Like I said before. Corey had his convictions and that's why I was excited to see him as a writer. Even Henson wanted a robot sidekick added into the film and he stood his ground saying "NO!" I hope we have that kind of conviction and purism here. And I really think there should be a sitdown...

    Quoted for truth. Seriously, if someone doesn't like the conversation or where it's headed, then said person is free to leave said conversation. That's also what a conversation is.

    Annoying Characters

    Animal broke the cult to mainstream appeal early. He has a cross appeal that many more casual Muppet fans like, and that's why he's on the t-shirts most of the time (wearing one now). I think they're going Elmo-level overboard with the character, but he always manages to sell, crossing the gap...

    TV Alert: Grover and Telly on Fox and Friends May 31

    I'm glad Telly's getting his due. Telly is a great character, he's on at least 1/3 of a season, and no one seems to notice the character. I treasure the Sesame Street pal figure of Telly I have. SW needs to give him some more outside exposure. There's only so much Elmo and Abby the outside...

    Questions about anything

    That's a simple matter of quality and quantity. The shows that they cancel are good because they didn't get a chance to wear out their welcome and become disgustingly boring and repetitive. If those shows didn't get canceled, they would no longer be considered good because they'd just get...

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    Having a writer, while it means the project is moving forward, doesn't mean that the project won't be stuck in developmental purgatory. Didn't POTDC have like 3 sets of writers before they just gave up on it? We all want this film to happen, and we're all hoping it's going to be show accurate...

    TV Alert: Grover and Telly on Fox and Friends May 31

    I'm going to tackle these both at once... I give SW the biggest credit I can for having Telly and Grover appear on a network that on any other given day of the week would say they're brainwashing kids to be gay treehugging communists. That makes SW look like the bigger man. But on the...

    TV Alert: Grover and Telly on Fox and Friends May 31

    I'd almost understand if it was the other way around, since... well, let's face it... Sesame Street is more popular than the other Muppets. Obviously because it's always been around. But to confuse the show that came before it with the show that came after it? :rolleyes:

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    But I can't stress how annoying I find this whole "The Rango Team" tagline that's going through the internet is. It's not really a team, it's just two people who worked quite different jobs on the same movie, and their paths didn't quite cross anytime else.

    TV Alert: Grover and Telly on Fox and Friends May 31

    It's just complete laziness, and unforgivable on any behalf. It's barely a website click away. We're not talking about news facts, we're talking about a 40 something year old edutainment juggernaut that everyone all over the world knows by now. I mean, when people over the age of 40 try to...

    Political affiliations or not, this proves how slap dash their programming is. We'd complain the same if MSNBC called Animal "Elmo."
