    Decline of entertainment?

    face palms... I spent half this stinking thread about that. NO! It's not terrible, and those 2 shows WEREN'T all that successful anyway. And Didn't Butt Uglies appear before Zim? The old "all cartoons today suck" chestnut drives me insane as BOTH an animation fan AND as a would be...

    Decline of entertainment?

    Ren and Stimpy have been in John's head since the 70's... George Liquor and a couple others as well. The story goes, Ralph, John and some others got a meeting at CBS, and they had all these different ideas for cartoon shows, but they were all dismissed for the reasons I said earlier... they...

    Your Thoughts: Dog City DVD

    Me too... I hate buying single episodes online because... well, what happens if the file doesn't play properly? You're out the money, and I don't know if you can return the data for a better version. I tried downloading the free Sesame Street Podcasts before, and they didn't play right on my...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    Scooter was yet to be recast at that point. And I do not see how Pepe shouldn't have been in that music video, considering that he was a popular character at the time, and Bill wasn't quite adapt at Rowlf or Dr. Teeth yet. It would have been a shame for him to sit on the sidelines and just...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Yeah... and Muppet Race Mania, too. I haven't been able to see any clips from those games where any of those characters talk.

    New Muppet Movie opens Christmas Day 2011

    That's pretty much the standard for films now. They basically pick a date and see if they can film the entire movie and edit everything before then. Personally, I don't know when this film SHOULD come out to be successful. But I gotta say, while I'm glad they're not rushing into anything, I...

    Decline of entertainment?

    I don't like to pick on something other's like, but I found the Pink panther and Sons cartoon completely cliche ridden. All the cliches that were in 1980's gang of kids cartoons were present... the athletic one, the dorky computer loving one... Muppet Babies was guilty of this too, but at least...

    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    Off topic, on multiple occasions, I tried to watch that one, but somehow I think Will Ferrel movies work better if he's playing an unbearable jerk.. plus I really just did NOT like the movie at all. I just never could force myself through it the whole way. Plus, he really didn't have all that...

    Dispelling Sesame Street Rumors

    I've said this for a while, but corporations sell people products. Some of it is bound to be bad for you, some things deceivingly so. Remember the "Low Fat" snack foods craze that got people eating twice as much? Snackwell's ring a bell? Sure, even if the fat IS lower, there's still all that...

    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    Several points. I really enjoyed LT BIA... but when I found out what was supposed to be IN the movie I was pretty disappointed. Originally, the movie was to open with Daffy soliciting an action movie starring himself as a dark cloaked crime fighter, a vicious jab at WB's failure to get...

    Decline of entertainment?

    Most of the cartoons today are light years in quality (using it as it's intended... a measurement of distance) than the yuck fest of the 70's, as I already said. What you just listed is matter of taste stuff, not actual shows that are made cheaply to abruptly cash in off a fad, or that clone...

    Dispelling Sesame Street Rumors

    Mmm... well, it wouldn't so much be the personal responsibility types as it is the "We want to live everyone's lives for the better" types that blame fictional characters. I mean, it's the tired parade of "We gotta ban stuff that I personally don't like and censor the heck out of everything to...

    Dispelling Sesame Street Rumors

    Inspired by Fozzie Bear's Ernie and Bert thread, I think it's time to get rid of all the OTHER obnoxious Sesame Street rumors that, frankly, are even worse. To start, the unfortunate "Veggie Monster" rumor, which is quelled on Muppet Wikia Now, this was a case of the mindless hysteria...

    Elmo's Popularity?

    That's what I've been saying for years. We keep forgetting what happened in the 90's, well before Dora. The children's television industry was rocked by a none too clever show about an upper middle class suburban red school house, where the kids couldn't act, the songs were all stolen and...

    Decline of entertainment?

    Heh. That stupid Marmaduke opened in 6th place. Just as I hoped. NO one wants to watch it.

    Is Fraggle Rock Animated worth buying?

    The animated series isn't bad by any means, not quite up to the quality of the original, maybe... but not terrible. Though, I'm not a fan of the Great Radish Roundup episode... half of it is basically the Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs getting the dry heaves when they mention Binooni berries.

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Obscure characters are great and all... but I really want to see a good balance. Background characters are for being in the background. I'd REALLY like to see Link Hogthrob and Dr. Strangepork actually have lines. They didn't have a line in any of the movies. Why, Link's biggest theatrical...

    Your Thoughts: Dog City DVD

    Uh... it's not that I won't get this, but I'm devastatingly disappointed. "May if" usually turns into no freaking way. I'm very disappointed that they couldn't even manage a SINGLE episode, much less 2. I'm sure there's some good reason or something... but this really seems bare and...again...

    Pretzel M&M's

    Yo... uh, what country are you from? American candies aren't all that special, trust me. At least, the ones that are available nationally. There are some great regional things, but you have to look for them at these hard to get to places. But here's the deal.... We basically have 3...

    Bad Guys/Villains we didn't root for

    Depending on the version, I really didn't root for Sonic SatAm Robotnik, but I truly do root for ASOTH Robotnik so he can go Snooopingas usual! plus, Sonic is pretty insufferable in that series.
