    TV Tropes

    I've noticed a number of things listed in different tropes that I feel are wrong, maybe it's just a very bad opinion, not sure, but would like to point them out: On the Leslie Nielsen Syndrome page, which refers to actors who were known for drama but later switched to comedy, it lists Jim Carrey...

    My Sesame Street Home Video

    The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street was not released as part of My Sesame Street Home Video. Count it Higher was released as part of the My Sesame Street Home Video collection, not Sesame Songs.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    Considering all of the characters were jerks, I should have liked it better. And yet it was hard to get into. I remember when I first heard of the show, when the characters were hosting the sunday night line-up, I wondered if Allen was a kid with an adults voice (like Stewie Griffin) or a really...

    Your Least Favorite Things

    My least-favorite Peanuts specials are What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown, SOmeday You'll Find Her, Charlie Brown, It's Flashbeagle Charlie Brown, What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?, and Life is a Circus, Charlie Brown. I'd like to say that I also dislike most of the specials from the '90s and...

    Why wasn't there a longer video deal in the 1980s?

    Thinking more about it, I wonder why whenever The Jim Henson Company has a video distribution deal, it only lasts a short time. Buena Vista Home Video had Jim Henson Video from 1993-1996 (actually I think that deal ended in 1997, but there weren't any Jim Henson Video releases that year), then...

    Who is Lionsgate associated with?

    One thing that I've noticed, and I'm not going to say what program it is, but I've noticed that since Lionsgate's contract with Henson ran out, at least one Henson special that Lionsgate released is on YouTube... and yet the uploaded date is from around 2008. I know it was removed when Lionsgate...

    Sesame Street Copyright Strike

    But Hulu doesn't charge for viewing (Hulu Plus might). Hulu relies on sponsorship I think. If a program is available for free on both Hulu and YouTube, but only Hulu gets sponsorship money (and I know that certain YouTube channels get sponsors as well), I don't think the fans would be picky...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    I know that the show has had a number of different openings (though they all use clip montages and the same theme song), including the reruns and DVD releases. But I noticed that in Twitching Channels, at one point a version of the opening is shown... I think it has some of the same clips as on...

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

    There's a meme on facebook where various photos are shown representing something, with captions like "what my friends think I do", "what my family thinks I do", "what society thinks I do", etc. but in most (if not all) of these, two of the captions are "what I think I do" and "what I really...

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

    How come on the audio commentary for Date Movie, whenever they mention the titles of movies that get parodied in the film, the titles get bleeped? I think that's the only commentary track I've ever seen where they bleeped out any mention of other movie titles. Besides, they were able to spoof...

    Finding Dory coming to theaters Summer 2016

    I've read about "Finding Dory" a few times in the last few days and thought it was a joke of some kind. Of course I had forgotten Dory's name, but I feel Finding Nemo needed a sequel as badly as Cars did.... Cars and Nemo are two of my least-favorite Pixar films.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    I agree with pretty much all of that (maybe not the Archer stuff, because I've never heard of it). The Napoleon Dynamite cartoon was great, though it seems random (as random as the movie's plot and humor?) that they waited so long. I didn't really like Allen Gregory at all, and barely paid...

    Remembering Jane Henson (1934-2013)

    This is sad news. I've spent the last few minutes watching episodes of Sam and Friends on YouTube. I'm thinking about watching some of the Sesame Street video releases that credit her as a performer.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    I had no idea Seth MacFarlan left the show. But it seems that even early on Tim wasn't as interesting as Stewie, Brian, or Roger (I don't find Klaus too interesting at all, either).

    Your Least Favorite Things

    I really like mean/hateful humor, including making fun of people, making fun of their names, and calling people names... But I hate it when people refer to men by the female variations of their names (I've never heard people refer to women by the male variation of their names). That's just very...
