    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    Pac-Man's actually quite a lot of fun as a cartoon series. They didn't have to monkey around with much to keep it both consistent to the games and make it appealing enough to make a cartoon series out of. I was actually considering buying the MOD Pac-Man cartoons. Q*bert has a weird fit to...

    America Dumbs Down

    All I'm saying. Sure, there's the other side that's completely stupid and fell for the media's "obesity epidemic" which lead to banning cupcakes in schools, trying to kill Happy Meal toys, destroying Saturday Morning cartoons, and ignoring the actual problems that cause it. They're no better...

    Ready for the latest 80's childhood fave movie remake?

    Dude... Akira is never going to happen. They've stopped production for hiatuses for so long, they're abandoning the thing all together. They're doing Bleach instead... which is basically a couple years too late, but I never really followed it that much. I saw a movie, that's it. I have no...

    Anyone worried about the next generation?

    That is, of course, a bold face lie. The only difference was that they did a lot better hiding that from plain view than we do now because... well... Floyd got it right. Precisely. The brilliant episode of South Park "Major Boobage" said it best. The media likes to make it look like every...

    Anyone worried about the next generation?

    You know this stuff's been going down for decades, right? We've been in the hands of that generation since before we were born. That stuff ran absolutely rampant in the 50's. They try to sugar coat it with malt shop memories. You know that's the generation WE technically are in, right? The...

    Anyone worried about the next generation?

    Why do I have a feeling that this is going to turn into "I don't like cartoons that aren't to my taste and not made for me specifically" thread? Still, I can't give enough credit to Wow Wow Wubzy and Curious George. Even though Wubzy is long since canceled... they prove you can have a show for...

    How can someone hate Elmo?

    Let's not forget... Sesame Street is and always has been an experimental product. They've subtly added more and more with each season since the beginning up until the 90's. Now they teach way too much. There might be a "dumbing down" of some substance, but they're far more advanced than they...

    Kermit Pillow Pet

    Yeah.. but there's a difference. One's a character that's bewinlderingly beloved by 2 and 3 year olds, the other's something strictly for the fanboys. I'd rather see The Disney Store make some Uncle Deadly bean bags. Much cheaper, and I bet they'd be better looking. Though, logically if...

    Future Dr. Seuss Films

    But you gotta admit, that's the easiest title to make a joke like that out of. You know... now that I think about it, who says it has to be a book? It would be high time to dust off his earliest work, Hejji. Now, I'd LOVE to see someone make a movie out of that.

    How can someone hate Elmo?

    But there was a seven minute segment dedicated to cows. :news: The problem stems from them needing segments in the first place. Elmo was just the first one because he was popular at the time. Since then, we've had lots of other segments devoted to other characters, some stuck, some didn't...

    TV Alert: Cookie Monster on The Chew April 2

    Toughpigs has posted the Cookie ONLY segments I really like how when they mentioned "vegetables" he said he eats trees and bicycles. That's the Cookie Monster we all know and love. Dave's doing an amazing job... LOVED the rapid fire questions segment.

    Stupidity Strikes Again

    And milk says "contains milk." :rolleyes: Now, I get the label of some food product that share facilities as those products. Those can be a serious threat if you don't expect peanuts to be in a regular candy bar. But Even from a legal perspective, I just don't see anyone lactose intolerant...

    My own personal open rant

    Forum member Beaker always commends me for being one of the few "sane" Sonic fans out there. But I see where the problem lies. There's 2 factions I've heard complaints about... the obvious So Furry that they have sexual desires towards the characters group (which also poisoned the Tiny Toons...

    Future Dr. Seuss Films

    Any remake of Butter Battle Book would ruin the actual message, especially if it has an ending. Sure, the book could still work as an anti-war sentiment (though virtually everyone's anti-war now)... but the book was a love letter to Reagan era Cold War arms race (which was the real reason the...

    How can someone hate Elmo?

    There are only a few Muppet children I can believe are children. Big Bird, Zoe, Artie (Dog City), Robin the Frog and Elmo. Possibly Snuffy. But indeed Elmo. That's why the character is so popular. A kid's character on a kid's show that's a kid. That's why most of the Cartoon Network...

    Future Dr. Seuss Films

    I could see them doing that one. It's fairly obscure, but it does have a meaty enough plot to be stretched to a full 90 minutes. Especially the Neefa Feefa rescue sequence. That could have some depth added to it. They're Incredible Hulk-ing the franchise? If they somehow combine the 2 Cat...

    Well, now I've seen everything...

    Incoming lazy redistribution of Cracked articles... For Men For Women Specifically, on that last one, go down to the Yoplait commercial. I needn't warn you about the salty language, do I?

    Stupidity Strikes Again

    Back to what Mr3urious said, it's all about frivolous lawsuits. They have to put that on now because someone held it in between their legs when driving, and the lid popped off and it burned them. There was a time when frivolous suits were a get rich quick scheme for idiots, and major companies...

    How can someone hate Elmo?

    Most of the problem stemmed from the fact that a lot of characters had yet to be recast, and Frank Oz wasn't quite as involved as he used to be... leaving a cast of Big Bird, Oscar, Telly, Baby Bear, Rosita, Snuffy, Zoe, and various other new characters that didn't quite stick. Elmo just came...
