    Sesame Beginnings: Muppet Babies or not?

    Baby Tweety of Baby Looney Tunes. End of debate. If it was supposed to make sense, it wasn't. There are usually NO tie ins with any canon of any of these sorts of characters (Pup named Scooby Doo is debatable, since it's in the continuity of both movies and the 2000 era What's New...

    Hot Dog TV?

    Sounds great... though, I'm still ANTI-live action on CN... interstitial are fine and dandy though. It's good that Henson can come out and put themselves out there like that on a major cable channel. These sound wonderful, though I again feel some concern that puppetry=Animation now. I was at...

    Underrated music

    Here's a weird one... considering I'm a devote of cartoon theme songs and music... Haim Saban and Shuki Levy. The names may sound familiar... Saban DID have his own production company (and the Americanized version of Sentai shows known as Power Rangers should ring a bell), and he once had...

    Dark Crystal 2 - Meet the Makers

    That's the problem exactly. Look how close the Disney made Muppet film is into production, and it was only announced as a rumor a couple years ago (when did Forgetting Sarah Marshal come out?)... I'll say this. I no longer have any grudge against Disney owning the Muppets. On the contrary...

    Underrated Movies

    I really wish they kept more of his scenes on the DVD. The alternate opening was absolutely amazing, and it really slammed the fact they were having so much trouble getting the Batman franchise back up and running. I think a lot of what was left was enjoyable, but they could have at LEAST let...

    Movie theater intros

    What about those UGLY cheap ones they have at smaller theaters with CGI animation that look like it came right out of the early 90's (maybe even 80's) and mechanically tell you "don't put feet on chairs" "Shut off Cel Phones" "buy food at the lobby" all in very boring timed ways? My...

    Where's Bert and Ernie?

    No! Oldie equals stinky for some reason. :rolleyes: Yeah, kids don't also LOVE Scooby-Doo reruns. You can tell that character's never been popular... :rolleyes: (PLEASE not the sarcasm) It's just... this... dumb structure. The memory channel actual sounds like a good idea, but they'd...

    Muppet Show Season 4 coming in 2013

    I think we should either close or delete this thread until they actually give someone some word. This is getting annoying. it's AUGUST! We should at least have a general idea of when it's going to come out by now. it's been almost 2 and a half years since the last one... under NO...

    Disney Takes Muppet Script Through Pixar

    I see what you mean. But I still say it was a sign of the times. People weren't sick to death of said flat parody movies yet, and they were loving their Will and Grace (which was pop culture reference fest). The problem is when humor changes, it's painfully obvious. Now we're absolutely in...

    Underrated TV

    Absolutely agreed on both counts of Futurama and American Dad. They are the BEST shows from both creators, and they're both a LOT more imaginative that the shows they live in the shadows of. American Dad is always the first show to have to go on Seasonal replacement, and I wouldn't be...

    Disney Takes Muppet Script Through Pixar

    It's not even just the references that make the film dated (was their any call for the Crock hunter bit?) but that sort of humor is very dated. I swear that was some of the influence of the Simpsons writer(s) that were on the project. But that kind of thing was very early 00's, going back as...

    Best/Worst/Weirdest/Funniest/Craziest Music Video Thread

    Had Lou Albano in it. Freakin' Super Mario. How can I not love that? (fully aware that he was her manager for a time). Anyway, it's obvious my favorite ones come from Weird Al... other than "You don't Love me Anymore" (I'll explain later... plus it's my least favorite one of his songs). The...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    As you should be. It's one of the finest arcs we've had. And I'm not saying that to flatter you. The art was beyond amazing, and the writing had a more focused feel to it, where we saw more story... more plot. Indeed it felt deeper than some of the other arcs (which are still wonderful, at...

    Super Grover 2.0

    American Monster Classics is a very disappointing waste of a concept. I really wish we they made more of those segments... the possibilities were endless, and all we got was that one. A great one, but only that one.

    Super Grover 2.0

    It looks like it will be puppet based. It's the standard Super Grover, but with major redesigns in the costume... a shinier new helmet with sharp looking ridges, a more pointy logo (edgy in superhero design means pointy, I guess)....a larger cape and large arm bands. There are also 2 other...

    Super Grover 2.0

    The obvious parody didn't go over your head, did it? :halo: The whole redesign of the super hero costume to make it edgier for the movie routine? Batman looks different in EVERY project. And I wouldn't doubt that the Chris Nolan batman movies are subject to some sort of parody here. As...

    Super Grover 2.0

    While I usually feel uneasy about new segments added to Sesame Street's already stuffed schedule, Grover's getting another segment to himself featuring his super hero alter ego in a new suit (about time... most super heroes have at least 3 costume changes per decade).

    Where's Bert and Ernie?

    Heck, you got me at playing tons of ANY sketches they have in the archives. There's a LOT of stuff from, even as late as the 90's that's so timeless. Even a few years ago, they aired stuff as early as the 70's and no one knew the difference. It's just the current format... it's restrictive...

    Egads... I have to do everything around here, don't I? :cry: I'll try not to mention foreign shows this time... there will be one exception, as you'll see. Toonsylvania: The forgotten Steven Spielberg Presents cartoon of the 90's, mainly because it was the first cartoon Dreamworks and not...
