    Least likeable Sesame character?

    I dunno about you, but Telly chanting "I'm gonna hit 'im! I'm gonna hit 'im! HIT! HIT! HIT!" will never leave my mind. yeah, Izzy's not all that likable either. I dunno about you, but I was sorta rooting for Telly to smack the blue off of him.

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    Yes, or you could take it that if the comics did follow the canon, and that canon were to accept Gonzo's alien status that such events didn't actually happen yet as well. But the less romantic truth is that he had no idea about what happened in it, keeping only to the pre-Jim days. And that...

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

    I must've completely grown out of being depressed and just feel completely indifferent. I honestly don't care either way about this holiday anymore. I just wish the stupid valentine sets came with Posters like they did 2 years ago. I'd've got that Phineas and Ferb set so fast. Not even wait...

    A Lidsville movie

    Speaking strictly as someone who was never that big a fan of their stuff, yet respects it in another way, there was a problem with LOTL the movie no matter WHO was in it. They wanted to do a Brady Bunch/Scooby-Doo style movie that said, "Hoo boy! Wasn't that show CAMPY? Let's make fun of it...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    That makes me wonder... Now, I wouldn't exactly say the writers DIDN'T plan that... the press release did say Bert was in there, so I'm guessing they got an earlier version of the draft when either Eric wasn't available, or there were revisionary edits to cut for time, and they had to write him...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    Yeah, I've had BAAAAAAD experiences in the past trying to get this stuff. Trust me on it. I just usually watch stuff on Youtube. I saw the ENTIRE run of the 80's Kinnikuman series there before Toei pulled it all down. Didn't get a chance to see the Scramble for the Throne series, though...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    I wish people would pull their heads out of their butts about how fast food/junk food tie ins are EVILS and give us something great. Imagine a collectible Muppet figure series from McD's... even those schmug pugly plush toys from 8 years ago would be welcomed for me. I want to see GOOD...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Well those fans are unhappy people hopelessly stuck in a world where the only Turtles are from the 1980's, and they didn't even pick up the subtle message that even the hard core 2k3 Turtles were wussies compared to the comics. Though when they started crying and hugging 2k3 Raph, I will agree...

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    Actually, I've always thought the opposite. The Family Reunion arc strongly hints that the characters have never met Andy and Randy, and Kermit seems to only know them from what Piggy told him about. Otherwise, they'd REALLY have been prepared for them. In regards to the comic, I think...

    Least likeable Sesame character?

    Yes, but there were a LOT of times, even early on, where she actually took her lack of competent magic personally. That's what I like about the character. She either shrugs it off, similar to Mumford as "Heh, I guess I need more practice" or "OH, I'll NEVER get that spell right." not to...

    Muppet Babies - 20+ years later

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.... I've been spoiled by having so much Muppet around me, there was clearly a distinction between the cartoon series and the vast array of other projects. Even though I never got to see the real Fraggle Rock and had to see the animated one, I knew full...

    Show of hands, please.

    PBS is FAR from corporate. That's the problem. Sesame Street and other SW shows shouldn't be hard to negotiate if they're already on that network. I'd imagine Mr. Rogers and stuff like that would actually be a challenge to speak to other companies. So that would be a problem. But then...

    Disney Junior?

    I'm still confused. So Disney Junior is going to be a programming block AND a new channel coming next year? Or are they planning to move the Disney Junior line up TO the other channel? Either way, a 24 hour preschool channel? I had this discussion about Sprout in another thread, but why do...

    Show of hands, please.

    Well, the tween/teen programming isn't what you think. Sure, there's stuff like BizKids and a few other things on weekends I forget... really not happy they got rid of Animalia... but for "teen and tween" programming, you basically get Nova, Inside the Artists Den, Antiques Roadshow(!)... (No...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Don't take it so bad... people stopped paying attention to this thread when the new episodes were still on. Such a shame, as I wanted to hear everyone's end of season opinions. That way we can really have a conversation. Anything i'd say would almost be as repetitive as season 41 was...

    What Are Your Fraggle Rock Opinions?

    I've watched as many episodes as I have access to (though I'm still working on the first season) and I just keep saying this. There are Muppet Show and Muppets Tonight characters I'm not fond of, there are Sesame Street characters I don't care for, but when it comes to Fraggle Rock, I can't...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Wasn't Marvin's appearance in the first movie, the one where you basically hear "Ole! Ole" and see him spinning around, and then once again during the end credits his biggest role in Muppet Movies? Link's film career was a silent scene during the end credits of the first one, sitting at the...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    I'm sorry, but really... if we don't have the classic characters, we hear nothing but whining about how they aren't there, and we always blame the new characters who are created to fill in the gaps. look at Muppets Tonight. So many people just complained about the lack of classic characters...

    Show of hands, please.

    I'd tend to think a PBS classics channel wouldn't actually have kid's programming on it. But hey, PBS can still get away with showing old Julia Child cooking shows. Sigh... if only the digital PBS Kids channel didn't turn into PBS Older teenagers past 5, there could have been some great...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    I'm beginning to wonder if the back to the beginning isn't so much a force for why they didn't use Pepe, so much as a force for why they aren't all that familiar with him. Though, I still say, he single handedly saved every movie he was ever in, especially MFS. I don't think Elmo in...
