    Good bye Conan

    I can't say I'm a huge Leno fan... but the dude is The Crimson Chin. I find this more of his lame whiny, pathetic bid to stay on the network at all costs, cutting down the network because he whined and politicked his way into a bad idea from the get go, a 10 PM Late Show slot, which had...

    So, there's a "Pretty Young Girl Warrior Sailor Moon" out there...

    Have you ever heard the guy's 1980's background music? That stuff is to die for. Too bad he never does any of that anymore.

    So, there's a "Pretty Young Girl Warrior Sailor Moon" out there...

    A couple things... I'm not really against any DVD or online official dub. But when it comes to broadcast children's dubs (which is effected by broadcast television kid's standards), I can't say I've seen anything that hold up as well as the original. Sure, I've seen ones I think are good...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    That's an annoying little problem. If they absolutely have to show the show in widescreen, why can't they put the words in the middle in the 1:33:1 cut off. Plus, when they switch from new widescreen segments to older full frame segments with the jarring black bars on the sides. I didn't...

    Elmo's Popularity?

    That's the main problem. I really tend to think Barney was the first horseman of the Children's TV Apocalypse (Teletubbies and Dora being the other 2... may we never meet the fourth one). I have to admit, when my sister was born and really young, Barney came to TV and I didn't hate him... but...

    So, there's a "Pretty Young Girl Warrior Sailor Moon" out there...

    I've said it a billion times by now, but I have yet to see a broadcast anime dub that holds up to the original... with the obvious exception of Samurai Pizza Cats... arguably Ultimate Muscle... I find that the people who kvetch about the American dub of Sailor Moon don't realize how lucky...

    Mighty Mouse The New Adventures FINALLY coming to DVD

    And once you get it, I HIGHLY suggest "Don't Touch that Dial!" Shame that one didn't have commentary.

    Who is Your Number Five...?

    Yeah, but again, I'd put Animal way up on that list. As far as merchandising goes, he's basically in the 3. Maybe Gonzo and sometimes Fozzie.

    Elmo's Popularity?

    I think the P.C.-ness is only a small part of it. Right now, it's the only thing that gives it an edge. I swear the time will come when the Dora model is discredited and we'll see a resurgence of kid's shows that are actually fun to watch for any age. I mean, we have great stuff like Martha...

    Bean Bunny Merchandise?

    If you check This out, Bean will be one of the Mickey Mouse shaped Vynalmation series.

    Mighty Mouse The New Adventures FINALLY coming to DVD

    I just picked it up at Target (where it was a good 10 bucks lower than the SRP) and I'm loving it so far (though I only watched 3 episodes so far). There is Commentary on the Mighty's Benefit Plan episode that has a great story by John K about their rivalry between the Bagdasarians (the son...

    The 10 Worst Muppets?

    JarJar is STILL better than the 2 green guys with the really bad, really racist Chinese accents. I actually cheered when they got killed.

    The 10 Worst Muppets?

    It's a STUPID list and a person who clearly thinks "Sure, I remember them Muffets! I love Fonzie and Gizmo... and the old guys in the balcony that I confuse with the talking Magpies from Terrytoons..." A couple ones I'd agree with, but there's nothing qrong with Janice Scooter and Robin. I...

    Elmo's Popularity?

    I just have a problem with the concept of EW on the whole. Would we have the same problem id it was any other character? I would... even if it was Grover or Bert. I really do enjoy things like Abby's Fairy School, Murray had a Little Lamb, Global Grover. Stuff that do have a mild...

    Elmo's Popularity?

    Actually, yeah... I take that back. 8 is pushing it when it comes to the original demographic. 6 at the very VERY very highest is a more accurate estimate. Certainly 4 and 5 year olds were the intended target. But now, Preschool is easier to access, and the focus became preparing for...

    Pre-Order Fraggle Rock: The Animated Series

    They're already showing advertisements for this at Target on those TV's... but they're using footage of the live action opening... hmm. I really hope this is successful enough to warrant releasing Dog City in a set too.

    Your Thoughts: Muppets on "America's Funniest Home Videos"

    I really did like this, but it's true... it DID need more muppet content. But we sure got some great stuff. Not just the usual Piggy Kermit stuff (we only got a little of that, Thankfully), but we got the Chef making Meatballs and bouncing them off a tennis racket, the Mayhem as a house band...

    Elmo's Popularity?

    Well put. You see, I don't hate the character himself, just what happened with him. There's a lot that has been said that I'd just be reiterating, but it also has to do with the rise of weaker, dumber kid's programming that not only talks down to kids, but treats them like idiots, trying to...

    Elmo Oil Painting for $12000000?

    It's not bad at all, I think... just... the guy has a lot of crust to think that his work is worth 12 mil. I know the price of oil based paint and accessories (you have to use turpentine, not water... I never liked doing oils for that reason) is ridiculous (trust me), but for 12 mil, Rembrant...
