It's all the Wal*Mart factor... Frogboy mentioned it somewhere else... but they just want cheap plastic pieces of junk that barely resemble the characters from the movie that cost pennies to make and sell for 10+ bucks for 6 year olds to play with for 3 minutes and toss into the corner or the...

The Beaker and Gonzo Koosh actually look worthy of me wanting to buy... but other than that... just... I hope they have some secret stuff for later this year that wasn't available by press time. Heck, I'd buy some Vynalmations (even though I'm not really a fan of that sort of thing, but they...

Season 40 wrap up I just can't put my finger on it... but the 40th season seemed to disappoint me somehow... whether it was the results of the dwindling budget, the unavailability of certain performers, the heavy amount of Elmo episodes (some he basically was shoved into when he wasn't even a...

Enough to slowly make the segment go away. That' a good plan. Problem with the experimental No Elmo's World episodes was that they didn't have Elmo at ALL in the episodes, and the whole "we need to instill Rainman-esque routines in these kids" deal (which I hope gets discredited) demands that...

Personally, with Preschoolers, EVERYTHING goes over their heads. Half the stuff I remember watching I didn't get until I thought about them when I was a teenager. I was born in 82, and you'd think Billy idol's Rebel Yell would be current enough for me to get, but I never really heard it and...

The claymation stuff doesn't bug me (I've always had a real soft spot for it, especially since I attempted it with disastrous results, having to do a student project Arnold shorts/Penny of Pee Wee Herman style) it's those lame Hello Kitty-ized bits from Sesame Street English I don't care for...

I think the Christmas Special (Operation N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.) was one of the best Christmas specials I've ever seen. The dead on satire of X-men and Marvel writing prose was dead on perfect. I just wish they'd have the rest of the series available somehow. They still haven't released Operation...

I can't believe I got that one confused, since I usually never confuse the two. I can see that Jon really is the only one that's dubbed, since his mouth movements never match right. I still say Mark should have written the scenarios too. He had some of the best genre busting episodes out...

Dude... i am LOVING the way you drew Link Hogthrob right there.

I betchya WMG owns the rights to that band name, and now no one can ever say Blackeyed peas without having to pay them. :wisdom:

Ouch, for every big budget movie that stands at the top of the box office, 5 big budget ultra-bombs that they can't even give the merchandise away for. Go into to any Marshall's or A. J. Wright... they have ALL this TS stuff that doesn't even sell at deep discount prices. If they ever go to...

The prospect of the muppet plush toy line that was mentioned (and not shown) is the only really interesting news there. I really would like to see Disney release something other than the Pook-a-loos and upcoming plush (with the same main 5 ), I really liked their plastic figurine sets... too...

That is if they DO decide to replace it with this, and all of it is just pure speculation at this point. We don't even know if it really WILL be seen in the US at all. But that doesn't mean I don't WANT such a change. the problem with EW is simple, it's too dang long, and it feels like a...

While I already started a thread about Cookie Monster's solo adventures, Munchin' Impossible, I finally found some footage and a small page on Sesame Workshop's site. Now, I'm not the biggest Elmo fan out there, nor am I completely a detractor, but I'm sort of digging this segment (at least...

The Fix it Shop only was the Mail-it Shop for about a season or so (maybe two? I forget). And I sometimes wonder what the point of switching it back was, if they mention it once a season. They actually had stories take place in the Mail it Shop... it was useful. Sort of like how the...

If they're having that much red tape with the DVD rights (basically childishness and selfishness on both sides) I doubt we'd see it back on TV any time soon. Absolutely disappointing and pathetic garbage over character rights that they're not likely to clear up.

MTV will still be MTV, they'll just show less and less music. In other words, they're keeping the name, but kicking the spirit to the curb.

Didn't one of the adult swim shows mock that logo, using the same sound effect (wanna say it's Aqua Teen Hunger Force)? Again, I really hate that one... every time I watch my old school DVD sets, I have to mute it. The music just sounds so... tiny and icky. Not pleasant on the ears That...

Okay... did Roosevelt Franklin appear at the very very very beginning, a split second after the theme song? I either missed it or they edited it out. Very disappointed by them if they did. But overall a very cute story, Abby and Rosita work GREAT together. And Paul Rudd's Prince made the...

It really doesn't say anything about the Muppets, and I severely doubt with the media blitz and all these new products they'd give it the shaft. That's just not good business sense not to try and make back their investment. Even if the movie were to (perish the the thought) not do too well...
