Off topic completely, but the problem WITH the Smurfs is that Americans (I'm American, of course... but I like to give a European angle on this) have the stigma that Smurfs are some dumb 1980's cartoon and fad and they're lumped in with other cutesy preschool or girly shows like the Care Bears...

So... do you pronounce it Peppy or Paypay? I know Peppy is prefered, but isn't Paypay technically correct, as that's the Spanish pronunciation? I've been known to refer to him as both. I hate to be one of those schmucks that pronounce foreign words and names with a bad accent, but I once...

Let's ALSO not forget that comic strips actually have to thrive in the internet era as the decline of the newspaper industry is setting in. Sure, one day we'll actually have internet editions of comic books, but they ain't going to be free. I can see Kinder and E-reader editions of Spider-man...

I just realized something. Nick ALWAYS had tweencoms. heck, they wewre among the first to have tweencoms. Stuff like Salute Your Shorts (meh) and Hey Dude (blech). I rmember being stuck at an aunts house on a Sunday afternoon and getting bored to death by that stuff waiting for cartoons to...

So... they were complete communists up until this point. Dude... they ALWAYS only cared about money. Now there's just a lot less of it.

Trust me... it is NOT on youtube. I can seriously vouch for that. Even months... heck a year before the FR animated DVD came out.

Whoever wrote that blog clearly has little or no knowledge of the Fraggles, but even THAT's the kind of support and outcry we need. I'm sure a LOT more progress is being made since then, and we'll hopefully get something GOOD out of all of this. Again, I have to say, FR does have edge... it's...

That's what I was going to say last night, actually... but didn't bother posting it. Yeah, they stopped airing Muppet stuff even before the EMTV buyout. Even if they could, they wouldn't air it. They have their own Nick Jr. shows and I still think that The Muppet Show had no business being...

We're old... get over it. Besides... to me, Nick wasn't Nick until the 90's when they launched Nicktoons. Nick ALWAYS had live action programming AND animation... just we're getting more of the former and less of the latter. And frankly, I'm in the small minority that thinks that 1980's...

Can I be brutally honest here? That would be MUNDO illegal! Scanilations of comics, especially current ones is one of the major no nos of the internet. Why buy something if it's free, yes... but then no one's gonna wanna shell out the money for it. And as this is a smaller comics company, I...

Hmmm... interesting notion. but then again, if the comic is a perfect sequel, why bother filming it in the first place when you already have something that's done with a small fraction of the cost of a big budget film? Seems that comics and video games are vastly becoming the surrogate...

Well, as far as Cars goes, the movie takes place in an alternate Earth where the only life on the planet are sentient vehicles with no human drivers... essentially no actual living things... no people, no bugs... everything is a vehicle. So there's NO way they could tie that in (unless Wall*E...

First of all, comics and cartoon spin offs rarely count. Of course, it seems that they DO have more and more influence as of late. I just can't picture Monsters Inc. 2, but Boom's 4 issue miniseries did have some insight on that, and it worked... even managing to link up the universe of Toy...

Well, to be clear, McD's sponsored the show at least 1-3 seasons before the Veggie Monster mess. And that was indeed nothing more than PR. Of course, the real outrage is that SS has to even run these commercials before and after the show every day. But the same health nuts who rally against...

It's a better than nothing scenario. That's all I really can say. I'm really disappointed they don't have the initiative to release any of this stuff in actual season sets with actual bonus features in actual retail... though I do hear, they are pretty high quality and worth the money... but...

Elmo happened. Kevin Clash is far too busy with Sesame Street to reprise that role. A shame, since it would have been great to have him sit with the band somewhere. But this is pretty much more of the topic of the next Muppet Movie. I still say, no matter what old characters are in the...

That's not the case at all. They could easily change the name to "Graveyard" in my pocket or something like that. I doubt a toyline that came out at least 5-10 years before would be permanently barred because of an unrelated Japanese video game series, especially since Pocket Monsters IS the...

I'd say he'd be a Jerry Nelson one (that's how I read it) since he had a Sherlock Holmes parody on Sesame Street. Somehow the design seemed to hint at a slight Sherlock Hemlock influence. Uh... no. Go out and buy some, cheapskate :p

Well, there's a long post I could go into about Mickey. I used to really hate Iger, but now I know what he's been planning, and I recind all my anger towards him. Sure, I don't like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse's tone or Dora model of education... but it got Mickey, Goofy and Donald right back out...

In case you can't tell, I'm talking about that old line of miniature collectible figures, Monster in My Pocket. I have to get on this rant because it's really been bugging me. A couple years ago (4 at most) a certain toy company was drawing up plans for a new series of Monsters in my Pocket...
