    Nickelodeon Petition

    That said... I watched some Super Friends for the first time... Almost died laughing. Wow. So THAT'S that it was like before Super Heroes could actually hit people. Interesting.

    Rumor: Big Bird only in four Season 41 episodes

    The problem is, due to the way they air these episodes now, they can't even alternate a Murray an Abby or an Ernie and Bert. And I think it's very wasteful to have all 3 in one episode... especially since the Ernie and Bert segments completely outnumber the others and only appeared every few...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I think they did the "Capt. Kirk likes to nail green women" joke with a little style and class, all the while making it a slight reference to a joke about the series. Then of course, you have Scooby-Doo (both of them) that referenced Pup so many times (the second one made a reference to...

    Rumor: Big Bird only in four Season 41 episodes

    It's not that Joey won't write... he just hasn't found his voice with the character. And we lose a LOT of Muppets because people just don't know how to write for them. Face it, the Bird is very complex, just like Kermit,. And the worst part is, the complexity is very subtle. Telly has a big...

    Increase in Commercial Television Puppetry

    Not always.... It depends on to what extent you use the CGI. If it's a big expensive company that does Pixar or Dreamwords quality stuff, it may run a small fortune. But a LOT of commercials use CGIs as a cheaper alternative. it all depends on how much the puppet costs, what kind of...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Lemme just say this. I went to see Get Smart a couple years back or whenever it was, and I was the ONLY one who really laughed when Maxwell said signature catchphrases like "The Old...Trick" or "Missed it by that much." and the theater was CROWDED. Personally, I want nods to the old series...

    New Video: Muppets' Popcorn!

    A good number of them actually do, and as I said link up "Contains material from" bits to their own page. For the longest time, United Media let them get away with putting full Peanuts specials up with a contains content disclaimer. Lionsgate and Henson NOT doing that for fan stuff is pretty...

    Dinosaur Train and Sid the Science Kid Toys on sale

    I hope they plan on making Sid figures... I wasn't impressed with the flat, painted on features of the plush.

    Any chance of bringing back the figure line?

    Problem is, even if we DID get a new line of toys, it would basically be the same Kermit, Piggy, Animal stuff we always see. The Palisades line was revolutionary for Muppet collectibles... even the Sideshow busts managed to give us rarer characters. But we'll never get anything half as cool...

    The Song is Familiar...

    That was a case of unauthorized sampling. We all know what sampling is in Rap music... but we all know that most rap/hip hop artists have the intelligence of a corn muffin to ASK permission first. Sort of like how Weird Al asks permission to do parodies of his stuff. if he gets turned down...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    Considering I stumbled upon seeing it at Kohls thinking it was an Ernie face shirt... it was orange and had big eyes... and it was completely folded over and I saw it out of the corner of my eye. But still... you'd think a little kid could recognize a Toy Story character, especially since the...

    New Video: Muppets' Popcorn!

    I'm sick of the "yer stealings from us" excuse. The music industry doesn't know what to do since their methods are obsolete and (let's face it) half their music is garbage they basically toss around to make a buck. Especially corporate hip hop, which I SWEAR is part of what started to kill the...

    Increase in Commercial Television Puppetry

    Wasn't the Car Fax Fox thing like a joke in an earlier commercial. I swear, since they put that fox puppet in the ads, they've become something better than the lackluster Office clones their commercials were. And :LOVING how Snugg's a puppet again. The CGI didn't give it the plush toy...

    Toy Story 3

    Aw... I'm sure that some uppity parental group will whine about it and the DVD version will be re-edited to feature toy blocks of tofu and flax seed packets. yum yum! Seriously. Thanks for NOT giving us a frakkin' kids meal promotion. Now I gotta buy Mattel's overpriced junk (with lower...

    Out of ALL the thing Nickelodeon can make a movie out of, they're making THAT?

    The thing is, I don't mind the idea of a wacky 1980's style TMNT series... the thing that bugs me is that there's like a 90% chance it will come across as a complete retread of the old series, only without the writing, and a lot of the stuff that made the first series memorable. Comic book...

    Decline of entertainment?

    The Chipmunk movie is to blame. The Smurf movie revival was in production for years before the Chipmunk movie, but it got stalled in paramount, and Sony somehow bought it up and planned to make another Chipmunks movie with it.

    Question about law regarding children's programming on network television

    BULL I don't see any kids wanting to sell their gold, buy books on how to get rich quick through the stock market, or that if they feel their lives as suburbanites are so shallow they have to pop happy pills to make badness go away. Commercials ARE supposed to make you want things you...

    Fraggle Rock Complete Series - Question on Damaged Discs

    The problem IS shipping. Things get banged and bumped and batted around. Thankfully, the few times that the DVD's DID fall off of the package spindle for me, they weren't damaged. And yet, sometimes I buy a perfectly good disk at a store... didn't fall out of the spindle at all, but was...

    Out of ALL the thing Nickelodeon can make a movie out of, they're making THAT?

    Ah yes. Okay then. But those shows are 2 Nick needs to bury in the backyard under the dog house and then call an exorcist to make sure their evil spirts don't rise up. Awful... especially Rocket power... the only Nicktoon I actually hate completely. Ginger was alright, though. I...

    The girls increasing presence on the show

    Prairie is an amazing character. She's such a clever little caricature of a pretentious little girl who's years ahead of her own age. She tries to do quite a lot, and she seems to be smarter (or at least more sane) than anyone else in a skit. Complaining that a game show's premise is stupid...
