    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_of_the_concords So the names don't exactly match up, but they are still parody names... Bert is an anagram of Bret... clearly had to call hum "Burt" to avoid confusion. And the characters are puppet caricatures of them. I've never actually seen this series...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Me? I still give everyone DVD's and toys. Even if they're well too old for it. But MAAAAAN... If they weren't so expensive, I'd go to European import places and get British candy bars ALL the time. Even the chocolate in Kinder Surprise eggs... something specifically for children... has so...

    A NEW ThunderCats cartoon in 2011!

    Well, that was pretty much the theme of the episode... I saw it a few nights back so it should STILL be fresh. Anyway, Man E. was ostracized by society because of having a beast face and a human face, wound up becoming a loner, and had no where else to turn. He wound up going to the...

    A NEW ThunderCats cartoon in 2011!

    Yeah... that's the one. Seriously, they build up a whole case about bullying and how it catches, causes victims to turn into instigators and they wind up telling kids how to remember things. Now that's Mustard on the Cat, right there...

    Your Thoughts: "Pioneers of Television" with Jim Henson

    Well, I would say that, but the Pioneers of Television series DOES tend to do that. It seems that there was a LOT of ground they didn't have time to cover... they even had a 10 second segment with Ernie Borgnine that they didn't call back to in the rest of the show. That Phoenix show was...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Actually (again, Easter has far superior candy), the BEST thing about Valentines day? It's like the halfway point of winter. Which of course means our air temperatures can only get warmer at this point! And after this year, I think that's something we can ALL be cheerful about!

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Not saying I don't like the American candy we get... I'll eat ANY chocolate, even that chalky Palmer stuff... but expensive Euro-chocolates that were actually FROM Europe? That stuff is like GOLD!

    Your Thoughts: "Pioneers of Television" with Jim Henson

    Well, everything was basically small, and some of it anecdotal...and there seems to have been a lot of things overlooked. These really should be 2 hours each or something... maybe the DVD's have the extended cut. Though, I do wish they got more people to talk about Jim Henson that actually...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    NEVER turn down European chocolates (unless it has something to do with an allergy or something). Do you know the purity standards they got there? They can't even use vegetable shortening to stretch the chocolate instead of cocoa fats. Even just British candy bars takes better. You haven't...

    A NEW ThunderCats cartoon in 2011!

    I hate to requote, but I just got this box set of He-Man dirt cheap (one that's out of print, mind you), among other reasons, so I don't have to stay up until Midnight to see the same 5 episodes... But anyway, there was this episode about the backstory of Man E. Faces, and it was this deep...

    Your Thoughts: "Pioneers of Television" with Jim Henson

    What really surprised me was the inclusion of Fat Albert (far from being a local show), and interviews with not only Bill Cosby bu Lou Schiemer (SP?) and Filmation's educational adviser. The Jim Henson stuff I was expecting, sure... but I really smiled when I saw that. i was also highly...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Muppet Mash IS coming. That much I know. There's an ad for it in the latest Rescue Rangers issue. Sherlock will probably follow.

    Why isn't Kevin Clash given other roles?

    I don't like to say or play favorites, but Kevin's one of the best puppeteers they have on staff. I can never say enough about his range. It's a shame we'd never see the likes of Elliot Shag again after Dog City, though. That was one of my favorites of his. A mild mannered, yet slightly...

    Muppet Babies DVD Box Sets

    That and, in Batman's case, that show was produced LONG after it changed hands to Warner bros. Makes me worry about certain Marvel cartoons, now that Disney owns them. Sure, the Saban produced ones are safe (Disney owns that too), but now's the time to get Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Though, even after seeing the thing, I always thought the concept was "fanfic-y." I totally wish the movie was like the last 10 minutes. I REALLY hope Nick doesn't give us a parody oriented rehash of the old series. Sigh... I WANT to see Ultimate TMNT at one point. Oh, and I did like how...

    It was cute, but somehow, I think it would have been much funnier if it was REALLY Vader. you know... sort of like This one

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    The problem with technology is that it makes things so much easier and simpler, that it winds up killing a lot of fun stuff that becomes obsolete in the process. Arcades, television (you cannot lie down in bed and use a computer if you're having trouble sleeping but are too woozy to get up)...

    Something that's really kinda bugged me about the Muppet/Fraggle comics

    There is nothing stopping anyone from Fan arts and fan strips. I'm not saying you'll be discovered, but fan content (as long as it's tasteful) can keep things going. I would have so started up a Sesame The Comic Online somewhere, but I don't have the proper equipment, nor a web site.

    The Muppets’ Super Bowl: The Best Muppet Commercials of All Time

    I wouldn't expect a Muppet Movie trailer (nor a teaser) until at the earliest, mid-spring. the film is STILL being filmed, and there's no time to even do so much as a teaser, yet.

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Well, they weren't so much canceled as a new Fox censor came in and was a complete wuss compared to the other one. So one episode (Insane in the membrane) was completed, but never aired in the US and one (Nightmares recycled) was never completed. And it also explained the kid friendly tone of...
