    Do you think the Fraggles should look older if the movie is made?

    Think of it this way. Big Bird's been six since 1969.

    When you need to rant...

    I just got a couple little bugaboos here... How come they still merchandise Stewie from Family Guy as the angry, matricidal maniac when he hasn't been like that since like 2005 or so? Sure, like once a season they'll reference that he used to be like that. But he doesn't even speak in...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    To this day, I'll never understand why Jim thought it was that bad. I liked the idea of Muppets hosting cartoons, especially the animated version of Pigs in Space. Too bad they couldn't pull a Star Trek and get the actual puppeteers to do the voice work for it. But the concept was done much...

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    Okay... watch the thing about the crackers again. I just did... When the girl puppet says "I want to make sure we all understand the number four" she holds up FIVE fingers! :scary:

    Should Disney buy Felix the Cat?

    Ducktales? I'll do you one better... Why are there no American projects for the Duck family? There's ample opportunity for them to do an animated version of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. If they can shove it into a single episode of Ducktales, they can surely make a 90 minute...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I know that Steve wasn't initially comfortable with Kermit, but it really wasn't until VMX when he was actually being used much. And it's a shame since I really feel that the performance in MCC was good... but there was something off about MTI and worst of all, he felt completely shoehorned...

    Nick at Nite Thread

    It's good for the late night college crowd, but for little anyone else. It's a step in the right direction, no matter how inconvenient it is. At least Nick knows well enough to sublicense everything to SHOUT possible so it's on DVD. CN, being owned by Warner Bros is deathly afraid of releasing...

    Nick at Nite Thread

    CN is on it's feet about, I'll be generous, 70%. I hear Teen Nick has a 1990's block of programming... I think CN should consider that as well. Just a weekday throwback line up that has the old shows on at least once daily. I have absolutely no idea what they run weekday afternoons.

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    Of course you did. Like I said, they stole their bit from Cookie and Prairie, only taking out everything that was essentially fun about it. What's really disturbing though is that between a little girl named "Little Bit" and a pig, the little girl has the broader, fatter shoulders. Oh, and...

    The Muppets win four 2012 Webby Awards

    Why is it that they keep winning Webby awards and we haven't had any viral videos that weren't advertisements for the movie since Popcorn? It's time to start those up again.

    "The Muppets" out on DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK on June 11, 2012

    Like I said before, it isn't just Disney. Let's put the blame where the blame is due, Don Sonyone. Disney is apparently allergic to giving any of it's standard DVD's any special features of any kind, and it's treatment of the Muppet movie is no different from their bare bones rerelease of The...

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    I've know of its existence for years, but... let's just talk about how truly terrible this thing is. This is the clip most of everyone has seen on Youtube... Right off the bat, you know they're far from trying to be creative. They just completely stole the name Ernie right out from under...

    Should Disney buy Felix the Cat?

    Because he was an expert on doing that and taking credit for everyone else's work. At least, hypocritically after he lost Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald actually bugs me for one reason. As someone who loves studying animation and all the weird old tales of how things came about, I HATE...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    Ah, Barney. You can scope the talent of your kid's show by how many of their "songs" are just public Domain crap with poorly written lyrics forced in there. And not even in a Weird Al Yankovic, intentional lyric replacement that makes the song actually better kind of way. Just the "we're...

    Bonanza is ubiquitous. Inescapable. It's on like every single channel that shows old TV programs. Is it that cheap to license out? It's like EVERYWHERE there's old television programs. Yeah... but at least they were mostly showing cartoons then. I fail to see why they keep adding live...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I kinda liked Fly Baxter, but nervous white guy Baxter annoyed the heck out of me. Quite the opposite, I liked how Shredder was able to abuse him in a way that he could never do to Bebop and Rocksteady. Shredder's abuse under Krang getting transferred to someone else. That's funny stuff. But...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    I prefer MTI to MCC. At least it feels a LOT more Muppety. But It's a shame they don't have Clueless Morgan around anymore.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I hate that the 2k3 series got treated by anyone over the age of 10. It was a really great series that could stand on its own and doesn't need to be compared to the old one because they're completely different shows. Sure, When Playmates screwed around with the show to sell toys and we got the...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    There's definitely something corporate, but it's also just being on the inside as a writer or a performer. Everything essentially feels like it's been done before, and then you feel you need a gimmick, at the very least, so everything doesn't feel the same when writing it. Like i said...
