    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    The problem I have with the 80's He-Man movie (not Secret of the Sword... I actually know someone that has it, I just didn't get around to borrowing it and watching it yet) is the same one I have with the Smurfs movie (which, for whatever reason I didn't hate... maybe Hank?) only in reverse...

    How Times Have Changed...

    Whitney was the biggest lump of dog crap I've seen on TV in a long time. That's why I think the laugh track sitcom is dead. It's Line laugh line laugh line laugh. it looked like a terrible throwback to the 90's. I LOVE Seinfeld, but I've always hated Friends and Will and Grace. I watched...

    This is the final straw...

    The funny thing is, the same people who were trying to paint the health care plan are death panels are now CHEERING at the prospect of death in these nonestop debates. Rick Perry sentenced hundreds of people to death! YAAAAAAY!!! Ron Paul almost suggesting that in a hypothetical situation...

    Will there be Muppets McDonalds toys?

    Eh, the new series already ended a year or two ago. It was kinda created as a cross promotion because they made a live action movie version of it (that was extremely successful in Japan). Then a few months later it had a regular animated movie (which the original series never had). It's...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    There are always rumors, and most come out of considerations or overly optimistic reports by copyright holders. At one point, Mattel said they were planning a He-Man movie. Couldn't be ANY worse than the 1980's live action one no matter what they did. GB3 isn't so much a rumor, but a project...

    Ghostbusters (1984) returning to big screen for October 2011

    I don't understand why these things don't have the same completely national re-release that The Lion King had (minus the 3-D rendering). You know, with multiple screenings in various theaters so you don't have to pay 20 bucks to see it at an inconvenient time...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    It doesn't matter if it's about George Jetson. A movie based on the Filmation cartoon Ghost Busters seems more likely at this point. I don't mind at all if it's a new class (after all, they did that in animated form in the 90's and I feel it worked well...even kept canon of the old series)...

    Facebook Muppets Fan-Athon

    I'd never bother with Facepagebook anyway. I almost did so I could friend Jon Arbuckle (Garfield had an official Jon facebook page) and never got around to it. I had a Myspace I checked once every 3 months that got old quick. Not for me. If this at least gets it word of mouth, than that's...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    I don't get why they'd say "time for Elmo" when they should have said "Time for Elmo's World," especially since that did make the fact they still have that leach of a segment siphoning off the last 15 minutes of the show. Of course, the helping EW makes sense because of A) the Helping H segment...

    Will there be Muppets McDonalds toys?

    1970's Japanese cartoon that had a 2008 redo that I was obsessed with for 2 years... The characters were in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom which miraculously came to the US. That and some old Central Park media released Time Bokan OVA were all the US ever saw of them. Lemme see if I can find them...

    MEh... another Sabrina cartoon...

    I'm trying to find info on the 2004 Sabrina Ginzu-manga (unless you haven't seen me previously explain it, it's basically American comics trying to ape Japanese ones and pass them off as manga... named after the not Japanese Ginzo knives...e.i. half of anything that was published by...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    Tough Pigs posted an article about this... Now, I have to ask the question here... How come we still call the show "dumbed down" if they're trying to teach more and more complex things to 3-4 year olds? The kids they're teaching can barely read, but they're trying to teach them engineering...

    Schleich PVCs made by other companies

    All I know is Schleich is the same company that made Smurf figures (still does), and certain countries did see some other companies either make (legally or illegally) and/or distribute some of those figures. Much like the Muppet babies figures, when the US had some of the Smurf figures from...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    It's nice to see that cartoonish slapstick is back in full force in today's episode... The Human Cannonball that got blown up by his own cannon (didn't get burned up, though), and crashing down on the floor multiple times, the food kicking the crap out of everyone in Abby's Fairy School, and...

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    I wish he really WAS the Elmo of the Muppets so we could have actual merchandise with him on it. I'd say Animal's the Elmo of the Muppets... he's on more stuff than Kermit half the time. I Love Animal, but there's 4 other members of the Electric Mayhem (5, if you count Lips). I don't see why...

    Reviving premiums

    The thing that really bugs me is when everyone from every time period claims their Saturday Morning was all that, and how cartoons can't measure up and blah blah blah... I'm the one that says, "Where are these cartoons you speak of?" Saturday morning is a mess of infomercials and terrible FCC...

    This is the final straw...

    Couldn't have put it better myself. It's like we have 2 right wings, The righter than you think Democrats and the even further right Republicans. It's like liberalism somehow died when we got health care. I can't say Obama's great or anything, but if you look at the stuff the right wants...

    Commercial rant time...

    Oh man... at first I thought you were talking about those incessant commercials that keep saying "Times are tough" and "everyone's gotta be smart with their money these days" when these companies, I dunno... kinda caused it. I've heard some pretty scary paranoid skitzo commercials by wackos...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    Yeah, it's like Seth MacFarline's the Anti-Christ or something, but Jerry Springer and Maury Povich can still be on television no problem. Janet Jackson's female chest popping out shouldn't have been the sign filth was on television... the first season of Survivor should've. Shocking words and...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    Why can't we get anything... you know... GOOD from Europe? Like, I dunno... The Asterix movies on DVD at least? Why are decency in television groups ALWAYS go after something like Chaz Bono, Family Guy, or Sesame Street (for certain reasons), but Wife Swap, Jersey Shore, Jon plus Kate plus too...
