    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    I think that transcends plot and becomes a general cliche all together. While it does have to do a lot with plot lines, it's mainly some sort of character trait. Anyway: Kinnikuman, as everyone knows by now my favorite anime, does that ALL the time, and mostly for no apparent reason...

    Brian Henson comments indepth on the various company sales

    I said it before... they have a lot of vision but they lack focus. They try to do too many things, and only some of it managed to stick. Out of all the projects they've been trying, I think only Sid the Science Kid was the one that actually managed to get some money into it. Puppet Up NEEDS...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock The Animated Series DVD

    I should hope so... that is, if Henson plans to release all of its owned back catalog. I'd hope they release this as season by season sets... how long was it on? 3 seasons? I bet they could even make these fit into 2 volumes. And no haggling with Disney over character likenesses, unlike the...

    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    1980's cartoons are ESPECIALLY infamous for using the same plots over and over again. Jeffery Scott, much as I admire what he accomplished, was a HUGE perpetrator of this, even reusing the same titles over and over. I don't know where you can find his filmography, but rest assured, you see a...

    So, what do we call Gonzo now?

    Here's the deal: There are 4 main categories of Muppet... Animal/Animal like: Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Pepe, Big Bird...etc. Human or Humanoid: Statler, Waldorf, Bert, Ernie, Scooter Monster/Creature: Sweetums, Sesame Street Monsters, Gonzo (creature), Fraggles (again, creatures) And...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock The Animated Series DVD

    Dog City NEEDS to be released... plus, it's more likely to get released than MB, since it doesn't have all those potential copyright nightmares getting all the film clip rights. All that has to be done is to get Nelvana to play ball with Henson and Lionsgate... unless Henson has the controlling...

    Lots of MUP3's, Wanna Trade?

    I'm looking for 2 bits from season 3... Dr. Teeth singing Mack the Knife with Sam's interruption Rowlf singing Tea for Two backwards.

    More Looney Tunes DVDs coming to DVD in April

    You see... this is what worried me. Overpriced single disk volumes. Warners has been doing nothing but (with the exception of Plastic Man) for the past year or so. I mean, they are planning to put Tom and Jerry Tales in season by season sets... but so far, the Smurfs, the Looney Tunes... even...

    Hal Miller, the middle Gordon

    I think that's the one I'm talking about and not Tara. I don't think I remember here, but I remember the one from Season 33 quite well. Basically all she did was exist and agree with everyone else when they said something (the calling card of the character no one can write for). Other than...

    US characters IN international co-productions

    Yeah.,.. but again, that's a dub situation. I remember a Plaza Sesamo where they redubbed Telly (or someone) who was talking about how he asked everyone else on the street something, so that he mentioned Abelardo. Really... I wonder if there's any real difference in SW's mind between...

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

    Are you sure it was Maria in the painting? I can remember one similar, but it was Linda, and Maria was Charlie Chaplin... very similar to what you said, just with Maria jumping inside the painting to be with Linda.

    Some stuff popping in at Disney Stores...

    ... Baby steps... Baby steps, sir. It really isn't all that epic or amazing, but I've seen some of their earlier made specifically for the Disney Store merchandise, unless you count the run of UK Kermit Environmentalist stuff. NO TOYS... So far, All I saw was kid's T-shirts, a beach...

    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    And I swear there was one called "funny, We Shrunk Michelangelo". But Incredible Shrinking Turtles WAS from season 2. The worst part is that it was overused and overdone to begin with, and THEN "Honey, I shrunk the Kids" came out. And as we all know, cartoons of the 80's liked to steal...

    US characters IN international co-productions

    Yeah, but again, the difference is Da Niao is NOT Big Bird, but rather his cousin that just so happens to look like him. That's what he's officially known as, a cousin. It's been stated as far as we know that Abby in Mexico and Grover in Israel are the same ones we have. Plus, there is...

    What if Fraggle Rock could have been seen by all?

    I dunno.. that piece of dog crap Marmaduke movie has plenty of Juice behind it, and no one under the age of 50 knows or cares about who he is. :D PBS was the only place I'd see it working for as long as it did on HBO. It really stinks that they could only sell it to a premium cable...

    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    As any 1980's cartoon watcher can tell you, the words "Incredible Shrinking...." come to mind. Everybody did it in the 80's.... everybody did it in the 70's. Some people did it far into the 90's.

    US characters IN international co-productions

    I think there's a difference between the German dub of the American show and using actual puppets made specifically for that country. A dub is just a dub, but a co-production makes new footage for itself with these characters. I just find it strange. Sure, there was New Garibaldo, Neno and Da...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    The computer segment is a bad remake of some skit that either came from the 70's or 80's where they had to find the word "hot." Only, it's longer and more pointless. The Mural thing wouldn't be so bad, but they play it sooooo many times. Plus, as I said, it shows that SS doesn't have all...

    Coco Fans Unite!

    As Frogster so eloquently put it, I wouldn't give Jay the satisfaction of having me watch it, and I'd hope thousands of others do the same. That's the exact problem right there... impatience. It's like what's going on politically in this country... people are so impatient that they want...

    Brian Henson comments indepth on the various company sales

    That gets me to wondering, did Marvel ever own the series itself, or did Henson have complete ownership, and Marvel was just the production company. Dic let ownership of their shows go to the various properties that owned it when it came to DVD releases... ALF's animated shows were released by...
