    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    Now that I think about it, I can't remember anything about either characters personality on the show. I can't even remember any Lola episodes. But I do remember one episode I liked where Petunia was basically the main character, where she only wants to watch TV, and then the TV breaks, so the...

    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    I never really liked Lola, regardless of her Space Jam "personality" or her Looney Tunes Show incarnation. In fact it's ironic: In Space Jam Bugs liked her but Lola didn't feel the same way about him at first, and on The Looney Tunes Show it's the other way around. Not only was she a token...

    What TV Show has the most Spin offs?

    Yes. The pilot was titled "Love and the Happy Days" and featured Richie, Potsy, Howard, Marion, Joanie, and Chuck. Howard, Joanie, and Chuck were all played by different actors than they would be on the show. I've read that the pilot was originally to be titled New Family in Town, before it...

    Will there ever be Classics Vol. 3 on iTunes?

    I didn't think there'd be a third Old School after all these years, so you never know.

    Imagination Illustrated: The Jim Henson Journals book

    It's interesting how one of the first pages has an image of Sam on the Footlight Theater set, but it appears to be a picture taken of the TV while Footlight Theater was showing (or maybe a picture of a TV monitor from rehearsals). The section on The Jim Henson Hour seems to barely have any...

    What TV Show has the most Spin offs?

    I often wonder if shows starring the lead characters count. Shouldn't it be a sequel series? I also find it odd that There's a Crowd is often referred to as a spin-off from Three's Company, since that show stars Jack Tripper.

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

    I didn't think about that possibility. So they do that on shows that have continuity? I don't watch Two and a Half Men every week, but I watch enough to not notice continuity errors due to scheduling. I do watch How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory every week, and haven't noticed any...

    What TV Show has the most Spin offs?

    Happy Days had Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Joanie Loves Chachi, as well as two short-lived shows: Blansky's Beauties and Out of the Blue (the later of which is debatably a spin-off, as the show actually debuted a week before the spin-offs character appeared on Happy Days, though...

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

    I've noticed this season on Two and a Half Men that many episodes start with "Previously on Two and a Half Men...", even if the previous episode was not about that. What's the deal there? As far as I know other shows that have continuing storylines don't do that. And occasionally there'll be...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    Well, on Family Guy I often laugh at things that normally wouldn't be funny. Like whenever a "parody" is really just a recreation of a scene from a movie or something only with Family Guy characters in place of the originals, or whenever live-action is used (if the scenes were animated or the...

    Questions about anything

    I think I've heard of instances on TV shows and maybe even movies where actors who don't have any creative duties like writing or directing suggest ideas that get used. I can't think of any examples off-hand (maybe I will after I go to sleep and wake up), but I wonder if there's a clause in the...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    Can't determine whether that's more interesting or not, but I wonder if there could be a successful adult cartoon series that frequently has loads of obvious sex and drug humor but also has just as many episodes without that kind of humor.

    Imagination Illustrated: The Jim Henson Journals book

    I got this book for Christmas. After I got it I searched the forum to see if there was a thread for this book, and couldn't find one. I recently thought about starting it myself, but then procrastination got in the way. :) This is a great book, though I can't tell if it has any information...

    TV Tropes

    Well, I found that there is a trope I was asking about (the one regarding people badmouthing others who suddenly happen to show up behind them), and saw that it's called Right Behind Me.

    Full House

    I'm watching the episode where Aaron plays with Michelle and Teddy, but doesn't really like having to be around Michelle because she's a girl. At one point they play superheroes, and Aaron says that Michelle can't play. Becky suggests she be Wonder Woman, but Aaron dismisses it because Michelle...

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

    Why is it that on many TV shows and movies where the main character is a kid, the child actor often doesn't get top billing? I know there are exceptions (Macully Culkin in most of his starring roles, Fred Savage in The Wonder Years and, I think, The Wizard), but it often seems the kids don't get...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    Regular Show is a great show. It's been so long since there was last a new show "for kids" that I actually liked, but Regular Show, Adventure Time, and The Looney Tunes Show are all great. Though I feel Regular Show really should be an Adult Swim show.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    How do we know those photos aren't supposed to be Kermit wearing a fake mole to impersonate Constantine? I wouldn't be surprised if he does that.

    Terrible Rumor: Muppet*Vision 3D to close in DisneyLand California

    I'm pretty sure Jerry Nelson wasn't involved, though he did record voices for Here Comes the Muppets and performed in The Muppets at Walt Disney World. Then again, I think I read that Muppet*Vision 3D was actually filmed at Disneyland (or at least in California) even though it was only shown at...
