    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    Not that it wasn't funny... but it was just way too off kilter to achieve the classic sense. As I've said a trillion times by now, I actually think the Steve and Eric E&B segments are far superior to the Frank and Steve segments because of the chemistry alone. But I really think they need to...

    Season 40 Hidden Gems

    I think this is a semantics issue. The term was basically coined by Joey, and I guess it was colloquially referred to as that, and then it was officially coined by the fan base and ther SS staff. I say, "old school shout outs" would be the most apropos name.

    So Like, Is KAET TRYING to Sabotage Sesame Street?

    I was going to join in the fun, but I have to stop you right there... Ever since the episodes started running again this January, they HAVE been adding the Healthy Habits for Life segment at the end of the episode before the sponsors and end credits. That's the ONLY thing they didn't screw...

    The sad state of GSN

    This is a rant I've been getting on for years now, and even I am sick of it. Here's the short story: The age of the genre/niche market network are DEAD....Dee eee ay dee dead. Murdered, even. I could get on a nice long 20 paragraph rant about how these networks are run by know nothing...

    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    D'oh! I can't believe ANYONE (not even myself) has brought up the lame "Pregnant woman in an elevator" sitcom cliche before now. Talk about tiresome and pointless. Even Recess made fun of that old cliche (mentioning it was an episode of Beany McChimp). Man, I HATE that one. :D

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    As I stated a while ago, I love Abby for ALL the reasons I hate EW. They actually attempt to do something and have a plot and story, and it cleverly deals with problem solving. All EW ever attempted was to say "Buy Elmo Toys!" My only problems with Abby are that it's just a bit long (but still...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    I get what you're saying, but I still say someone cried "budget crisis," and felt that using the puppet until it got worn out would save them a lot of money. I'm sure one of those kids of decisions twisted their arms in that direction, but everything so far this season shouts "WE NEED MONEY...

    SST Bound for Busch Gardens

    So, this thing's actually going to appear in the US for a change? If I bothered to have the money to go to a theme park, I'd almost go there for it alone.

    Some stuff popping in at Disney Stores...

    Personally, I wouldn't bother getting excited... but they have Pepe. That's huge. Why, other than the Palisades figures, the Fun4All push puppet, the Jack in the Box premium and the unwinnable carny Nanco plush, there really wasn't anything with him on it. I don't count his appearances in...

    The Official "I'm looking for/trying to remember a sketch" thread

    No, it WASN'T a song, it was a Charlie Chaplin type sketch, and I remember it clear as day. it was NOT "Sing your Synonyms" since that one's even more vivid in my mind, as I rewatched it frequently on my old VHS copy of Put Down the Duckie I taped off of TV.

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock The Animated Series DVD

    Or, they could have just splatted all 13 episodes onto one disk, giving them poor quality, and taken the source material from bad old VHS tapes in someone's basement like they did with the TMNT sets. They didn't even bother with special features until they stopped putting the show in large 13...

    Muppets in Disney World Pre-parade on YouTube

    Kermit and Piggy are actually puppets... but the Sweetums clearly is just a walk about. Unless there's some of movement that can be achieved in the mouth with another hand... so that's why he looks slightly off to me.

    2010 Movies To See (and not)

    It's pretty rare... but then again, it's rare for a movie to be that far off schedule so close to when it was first announced. All I can say is OUCH! Other than Toy Story 3 I really can't say I'm totally excited by anything. I still have to see Princess and Frog, and If I can ever find...

    2010 Movies To See (and not)

    I've seen fast food tie ins happen a week or so before the movie starts... sometimes after... but the movie isn't even out yet, and I haven't so much as seen a trailer or preview.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    Great to see a main story line focus around the Count, even if it was an Elmo-centric plot. Nice to see Baby Bear, Green Old MacDonald, and the Three Pigs... but REALLY great to see Snuffy and Big Bird with the Birdkateers. And that's about it, since everything else was reran. I love the...

    Season 40 Hidden Gems

    Well... Maria and her photo scrap book is self explanatory... but I SWEAR I heard "Proud to be a Cow" Mumbled at the beginning.

    Some stuff popping in at Disney Stores...

    Well, that's exactly it. You were there a month or 2 ago. These JUST came out. I haven't even seen them (maybe a couple shirts) in any of the other Disney stores I went to this month... so either they're brand new, or they haven't hit all the stores just yet. I'm really hoping this...

    Main characters = most common?

    Considering we're talking about the Toy Story movie here, I just want to discuss that exact part with you. Now, as far as I can remember from the movie, Woody's Round Up was a long lost TV series from the 1950's. Andy would have had to receive the toy as a hand me down. and which he...

    2010 Movies To See (and not)

    The question isn't so much that Warner Bros wouldn't rehired Nolan... the question is, does Nolan want to do it. While I rarely believe internet rumors, I have heard rumblings a year or so ago that Nolan didn't really want to do a third one. From what I understand, Warners actually didn't...

    2010 Movies To See (and not)

    I'm not up on the latest internet rumors, and I don't usually believe them anyway... but is there any word on Batman 3? Last thing I heard is they're likely go forward with a different director... and if the history of the franchise has taught us anything is that's not a good sign. Is that...
