    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    I snuck onto Shout's message board for a second and found this from one of the reps: There ARE indeed others, but they won't say... and I'm guessing they're keeping it that way not to jinx it. There is a hint that there will be some that were already released on Createspace that will get...

    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    Forgot to mention... Last episode of Cleveland had Cleveland Jr. mutter "A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter" for a minute.

    Muppet Babies - 20+ years later

    They had absolute knowledge that Columbia was going to do a cartoon. After all, part of the agreement lead to Columbia INITIALLY going to Filmation for that series. After they found out they had been dumped for another animation studio, they got annoyed and made their own cartoon. Think of it...

    Muppet Babies - 20+ years later

    No real explanation is given, but suffice to say, this is when NBC was about to drop their cartoon line up, and they wanted to combine the show into one half hour to make more room on the schedule. Honestly, those are some of the worst Captain N episode, they only had 7 of them, and the...

    Hoodwinked Sequel This April

    Anything done clever and well crafted, even the most immature joke done properly can be funny. Farts, boogers, anything childish if done in a clever fashion. Just adding a fart sound for no reason (what the trailer did) is just a cheap laugh for the 5 year olds they want to get in the theaters...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    Maybe someone else can remember it if I give more information... The breakfast cereal mascot was a pirate... he was the least beloved cereal mascot (I forget if something gross was in the cereal or not) and there was this well loved Lion character (obvious parody of Tony the Tiger) that he felt...

    Muppet Babies - 20+ years later

    Well, the story is that part of the agreement between both Columbia and Filmation for the use of the name, Filmation was to do the series based off the movie. But things fell through and Columbia went to DIC, and Filmation decided to do it themselves based on their version. I've said it a...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    Family Guy WAS supposed to be Larry and Steve... right down to the other Larry and Steve pilot using the Philadelphia movie joke (where everything Tom Hanks says is funny) that was also used in both the unaired Family Guy pilot and the first episode (which was almost word for word, but...

    Show of hands, please.

    I've been harping on infomercials for years now. The only purpose they serve is to let station owners who are lazy and just greedy to get extra money by profiting off of programming they get paid to put on, especially if no one's watching. And most of the stuff is get rich quick schemes...

    Hoodwinked Sequel This April

    I don't mind a clever fart joke. Say, a superhero who flies by farting... as long as the fart is useful to the plot and pulled off cleverly, I don't mind it. When a fart, or ANYTHING for that matter, is used for a cheap laugh, I object to it. It's like in the old days of animation the cheap...

    Redeeming Villains in Stories - Right or Wrong?

    Nothing I could say could top that. Indeed that's my feeling. I have a thing against child psychologists. Always have. Sure, there are some good ones that actually solve problems, then there are the hacks that want to write books, be very successful and look like heroes so they can hike the...

    The Chipmunks

    Jason Lee's a talented guy who ALWAYS winds up in questionable projects. He was in a movie with Tom Green... I don't think I even need to ellaborate on that. However, My Name is Earl was his best role, if not Syndrome from The Incredibles. I'm still mundo ticked that Earl got canceled all too...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    I spoke my peace about this... The only problem I have with the Muppets Cooking with Cat Cora is the cooking with Cat Cora part. Seems like everything they "cooked" (they didn't... they just mentioned the food briefly and the recipe was on the side anyway). Now, it was a cute idea, but the...

    Redeeming Villains in Stories - Right or Wrong?

    Sigh... the over analysitic ones, right? People need to stop thinking in black and white. Some people who ARE jerks actually change when they get to know you, others seem nice, but become jerks... it happens. Everything is gray and if anyone thinks any tiny little bit of fiction applies to...

    Muppet Babies - 20+ years later

    I personally find BOTH The Real Ghostbusters and Filmation's version to hold up very well... well, maybe there are some very mushy and lame episodes at the end of the run (the one where they're in the toy land clock sticks out in my mind)... and the Slimer! cartoons are virtually unwatchable...

    Muppet Babies DVD Box Sets

    They're good... they're good... the animation's an eyesore, though. And that's sadly literal when it comes to how they drew Kermit at some points. But they're not as good as some of the ones produced in the beginning or middle of the series. Still... wonder what technicality allowed some...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    I love them Eds... but I swear, that was a very unlikely success. It seemed to be mid-level popular if anything when it came out... then all of the sudden, it exploded with popularity years after it came out. Seemed that PPG and Dexter were always their main hits, but the Eds had a much slower...

    Muppet Babies - 20+ years later

    I'm sorry, but Baby Looney Tunes is outright garbage, along with that other pathetic attempt to make them "hip," Loonatics Unleashed. Though, I will at least defend Loonatics to an extent for having an actually WATCHABLE second season, when they decided to have them fight futuristic versions...

    Muppet Babies DVD Box Sets

    Well, the good news is there are a LOT of episodes in the last season that don't have such clips to renegotiate... Bad news is, those episodes tend to stink. Except who's tale is it anyway and Sing a Song of Heroes. All and all, if these things WERE to happen, we better not get...
