    Whatever happened to Link Hogthrob?

    That terrible Pigs in Space Deep Dish Nine! All I can say.

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    You know, I'm picking up a real Apple computers vibe from Weinstoned here. You know, that "we have independent hip young thinkers street cred, but we're not above being just as cutthroat as everybody else" bit. For realz, here... we NEED to get Henson to move to another company with this...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Very Worrysome update Seems Weinsuck is trying to edge Corey out of writing the film I'm sorry... but is there ANY other options for Henson than Weinstine? THEY are the source of the Fraggle Film hold up. THEY are the reason the script had to be rewritten every other month for...

    Uncle Deadly WILL be in the New Muppet movie!

    I'm doubting if there's anything that can actually get Fraggle Rock made. But that still doesn't mean there wasn't a leaked draft of the script. After all, any news we've been getting on this movie has been about the earliest leaked draft. And I really WISH it wasn't leaked... hopefully...

    Jim Henson and Elmo

    That's how I feel too. Don't forget, this was also a time when certain writers were working on the show as well. Elmo had some great material in those days. Check out the video "Monster Hits!" He spent the entire run of the exclusive footage trying to open the award ceremony's envelope before...

    Pretzel M&M's

    There are things that are regional. I'd like to say the ketchup industry has some greedy little hand in things, but that's just silly. :shifty: Uh... yeah... silly. but I've seen them and I believe that I've tried them before. They DID...

    International skits on Youtube...

    This requires explanation as it's not technically from Sesame Street, but it IS a segment from an international version that's only specific to Sesamstrasse. While it's actually from France and broadcast in other countries, it's only a Sesame Street segment in Germany... But I found one in...

    Pretzel M&M's

    This ties into what I was saying earlier. We have such a tight 3 company competition in the candy world nationally (there are more candies that are regional, and can be tracked down... but it's pretty tricky to find some of thems), and instead of making new products, they just make variations...

    Does anybody like these old books?

    Mr. Men is great. I love those guys. love their new series. But it took me like 20 years to actually see Mr. Men merchandise in the US.... there's someone from England that has the world record biggest collection of Mr. men stuff, and I'm a might jealous at some of the stuff in that collection.

    Uncle Deadly WILL be in the New Muppet movie!

    I feel that way too. But then again, I remember the earliest draft of the Fraggle Rock movie (the leaked one) lacked a major role for Mokey, but it was denounced as just the earliest possible draft, and that was well taken care of. Scooter has been what the Muppets were missing for years, and...

    TV Finales: Good & Bad

    The TRUE finale was amazing and a great way to end the series. Too bad someone somewhere decided the fans needed another season after all the ends were tied up, focusing on such unlikable vapid and nasty characters. Really, the 9th season was a joke. It was the series's After M*A*S*H* or...

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    I find that a cop out for several reasons. Ernie is just as popular as Elmo. He was the second, though not as successful, large talking singing toy craze after TME (Sing and Snore Ernie anyone?) and he rose to having his own segments on the show... First, Ernie's show and Tell then JTE...

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    I could go on and on about that. I'm still baffled why there are no educational PSA's about the stuff, but we commercials for a certain Jelly... and I'm not talking Smuckers here. The thing that REALLY bugs me are commercials for sell your gold or gold coin collections that mention...

    Decline of entertainment?

    The two things that bother me are that the original concept was some kid was crying her head off because she's got some cliche kid's problem that's in every single kid's movie and she cried them to life. And secondly, the Time Travel season of the Smurfs was considered the jump the shark moment...

    Pretzel M&M's

    I guess it depends on how rare these things are. I have to admit, I've lost 90% of my taste for cereal marshmallows, since they're basically dehydrated sugar cubes that don't fluff up when in contact with milk like they're supposed to. Plus, the cereals we have are so uncreative now. Chalk...

    Decline of entertainment?

    Yeah... I get what you're saying. But somehow this seems like they can't tell the difference between the Smurfs and the Care Bears. This would make a good Care bears movie, but I don't think that the huge budget and big name cast is worthy of a script that seemed to be penned as an...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I hear a LOT of people that loved Casino Royal thought Quantum of Solace was too dry. It sounds like they're trying to play around with the formula to copy the success of the first one, but they didn't quite get it the second time. And frankly, the last bunch of Pierce Bronsan ones were the...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Oh yeah... I got the entire series. A good fraction of the series was parodies of various comics, both Marvel and DC. Yeah... that's the Mices on Infinite Worlds 3 issue arc. There was another issue where there was a line out in front of Batbat 2 (Batbat being a character from the Bakshi...

    Uncle Deadly WILL be in the New Muppet movie!

    It would be absolutely great if Disney pulled some strings and let in a cameo by one of the Sesame Street characters, though that's impossible. Disappointingly impossible, but we have to move on. Anyway, I have to say this... we gotta stop saying "we want X obscure character in this movie."...

    Decline of entertainment?

    There's a fine line difference between a cliche and a trope to me. The biggest trope of them all is the highly overused taking characters out of their element and putting them in modern day leaving them confused and disoriented. I might as well watch Encino Man or something if that's the case...
