    TV Alert: "Count Tribute" Sesame Street episode in honor of Jerry Nelson airs October 31, 2013

    It seems like the ceremony was pretty small. The Count was just supposed to do one final task and then get his award? I know the story had to fit under 15 minutes, but I would have expected speeches from a few characters at least (well, Telly does end up giving a speech in an attempt to convince...

    The Rowdy Reviewer thread

    So far I've watched two episodes, and I don't think he's rowdy enough. It's still a good series, though. I feel The Rowdy Reviewer is more like Linkara than The Nostalgia Critic, in both appearance and personality.

    TV Alert: "Count Tribute" Sesame Street episode in honor of Jerry Nelson airs October 31, 2013

    I figured that there would be 18 pickles when they said the time limit was 18 seconds. And I managed to count all the pickles in time during the first counting sequence. If The Count really was there to do the challenge, I wonder if he would have counted the pickles or the 18 seconds (and...

    TV Alert: "Count Tribute" Sesame Street episode in honor of Jerry Nelson airs October 31, 2013

    I had watched the segment online and sort-of spoiled some stuff in the regular season 44 talkback thread (I didn't think it was "spoilers" because the segment was online), but there is a number of things I want to mention that I didn't mention there. I also had wondered if Telly being called...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    What's the deal with Netflix offering both online streaming and DVD rentals? With online streaming, you don't really need DVD rentals, especially since you'd have to wait for them to come in the mail. I can't believe people preferred waiting for a DVD over going to a physical video store to...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    A new idea I thought of today: Wouldn't it be amazing if they can get as many of the cast and crew (including those no longer on the show) as possible (maybe 45 of them) to talk about their top 45 favorite Sesame Street moments or memories? Something like this would be too big for a DVD...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Sorry I didn't realize so many people were trying to avoid spoilers, and especially that so many were avoiding watching the segment online before the broadcast. But I don't think I spoiled everything. There's a few things I wanted to mention that I didn't, though whether they're "spoilery" is a...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    I just saw The Count's nobel prize episode, and it was good, thought I was expecting to see the Count a bit more (both after he arrives and maybe his side of the phone conversations). So the final test was counting dancing pickles in 18 seconds? I think The Count would have just counted the...

    The Laugh Track Thread

    You know, I had watched a few M*A*S*H episodes recently where they had some lines I thought were funny, but didn't hear the laugh track too many times. And I had thought that the operating room scenes were the only ones to not use a laugh track. So it's Alan Alda's fault that the show got...

    Modern Classics

    I had no idea those were no longer popular. Maybe it helps that I never watched either show. But I don't think being a dated parody makes it bad for modern viewers. As a kid I was a big fan of the Miami Mice segments, but had never heard of Miami Vice. I also enjoyed Monsterpiece Theater...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Good to know this will have at least one other News segment besides the bonus clip, even if it has been released (twice) already. I think the other Sleeping Beauty segment would be a more appropriate choice considering this video has the episode where Abby thinks Oscar is a prince (it'd tie in...

    The Rowdy Reviewer thread

    Well I watched his review of It's Flashbeagle Charlie Brown. I haven't seen that special in years and when I first saw it I didn't like it much, but now that I'm watching the footage and hearing the songs again, some of the songs are a lot better than I remembered. Most of the songs sung by the...

Super Show, many Nickelodeon shows, Sailor Moon, Full House, Captain Planet, Saved by the Bell, and his "Raiders of the Story Arc" series has included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, and Duck Tales (and something else...

    Oscar's Trashman Bruno

    Recently I saw Bruno's appearance in the Here Comes the Puppets special. Watching this scene makes it clear that when he talks (when Caroll has his hands full with Oscar) Oscar just hides his hand down in the can to pull the wire. Also, when watching that and the "Bring Your Own Can Night"...

    1980 Muppet Festival

    After watching this, I guess I now know that when Bruno talks while carrying Oscar's can, Oscar just hides his hand in the trash can to pull the wire. And it actually isn't that noticeable, except that Oscar stalls a bit in talking when telling Bruno to talk (and also quickly says "if I can find...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I have "I Put a Spell on You" from Hocus Pocus in the head.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Yeah, I wouldn't buy any "complete collection" sets for any of the supporting segments, since I have the first four boxed sets (the supporting segments were all repeats in the last season). But I wouldn't be surprised if such a set were put out to cash in on the movie.

    Marcia Wallace voice of Edna Krabappel passes away

    I don't remember seeing that, but it sounds like a Halloween story. I can't remember if I've missed any (besides the last one) but the Halloween episodes are not cannon.

    Marcia Wallace voice of Edna Krabappel passes away

    Really? I recently heard that one of the main characters from Family Guy is going to die this season. I've also heard rumors that the show is going to end soon. Maybe they should just end the show now. There's more than enough episodes for syndication. And if the show ends, they can put it...

    TV Tropes

    Today I found a page called "First Installment Wins", regarding movies and shows and such where fans generally like the first one best. It is a "Your mileage may vary" trope, but one first installment I was surprised to see on the page was Back to the Future. It seems to me that most fans...
