    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Something I've been thinking about earlier: Two of the video games based on the 2003 series include the arcade games as unlockable bonuses... Is there a reason they could only include the arcade games as bonuses? Could they have included home console games (well the NES version of the first...

    TV Tropes

    Today I've been looking at the "Unintentionally Unsympathetic" and "Unintentionally Sympathetic" pages, and although these are just "your mileage may vary", there is a lot on these that I disagree with. One thing that sticks out is how it says that on Family Guy, Brian Griffin is this, then...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I wonder what the point is of renting physical DVDs online. I can see renting something through streaming (if you have to pay for each individual thing you stream, if you're paying for the service then I don't count it as a rental). When you pay for Netflix or Hulu Plus or whatever, you can...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    There's something I was just thinking about recently. In recent movies and specials, as well as The Muppet Show Comic Book, we pretty much get all of the core Muppets - Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo, Pepe, Bunsen, Beaker, Rowlf, Scooter, Statler, Waldorf, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Animal...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I saw Pixels yesterday, and there was something that confused me at first, only for me to figure it out... And it's almost a reverse of something I mistook (and was a little confuse about) regarding another Adam Sandler movie, Big Daddy (though that mistake I didn't realize until I saw the movie...

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    These past few days, while playing Sonic Mega Collection +, I have beaten a few games for the first time. I finally beat Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (had made it to the final boss for a long time, saved my progress before fighting the giant Robotnik robot, after watching game play footage recently I...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Lately I've been thinking about how all of Jay Ward's shows were "multiple shorts" shows, and it gets me wondering, if Jay Ward did have a series that focused on a single narrative per show, would it have had heartfelt moments as opposed to being funny and pun-filled all the time? I know that...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    While technically we don't know that there won't be any further Sesame releases after this next one (I suspect we won't), and don't know whether there'll be any unannounced releases before or after, I must say that it looks like this is the first year where all Sesame Street video releases are...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    You know, I think that's the job that Ryan Dosier left The Muppet Mindset to take.

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    Maybe I've said this before, but I feel that Walter should have asked about including incredibly obscure Muppets no one remembers, since he's the big Muppet fan of the group (at the very least he could have told Kermit who Chip was and what he's from). In fact not only does Walter not get any...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    There's an idea I thought about early that could have been done for this series (maybe if the Muppets do a new show after this one ends): What if the Muppets were putting on several shows? I know, MuppeTelevision was kind of like that, but I mean the Muppets run a TV station or production...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    I wonder if each episode of the series will list what characters are performed by which Muppet performer (and if it'll be as detailed as the credits here). The previous shows only listed the performers, no characters (not counting the "monitor credits" on The Jim Henson Hour, in addition to...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    The only bad thing I can think about, and I sort of suspected this from the trailers, is that Lips isn't in this, not at the meeting or with The Electric Mayhem (well maybe he was in another room). He's been used a fair bit in recent years, and it's been said that Steve Whitmire is now...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    So we still don't know who performs Denise. She doesn't get much dialogue (I was hoping we'd get to know her a little more in the pilot), and the credits don't even say who performed her (while listing who performed almost everyone else... It points out Matt Vogel performed Robin, who I don't...

    TV Tropes

    Is there a trope for when somebody runs for something, and only gets a single-digit number of votes? Especially when it looks like we know who those votes are from, only for the one who ran to mention that he voted for himself, showing that one of the others didn't even vote for him. I know...
