    Greatest Character Personalities?

    Oscar is such a complex character... he seems to be all about being the pre-requsite "grump"... Mr. Grumpy, Grouchy Smurf, Grumpy the Dwarf... stuff like that. But he has such complexity outside of that. And unlike most SS characters, you actually got to see him age and evolve in such...

    What would happen if Sesame Workshop retired Elmo?

    I've been saying that for YEARS now... but PBS would never give an hour long show another half hour. They can run shows 2 or more times a day, but they would never give that sort of care back to Sesame Street. They have too many shows as it is... Barney's dead weight, and Superwhy seems to be...

    Nickelodeon Changing its Logo

    Okay... they got rid of the slime in the logo... but they didn't get rid of the slime. Apparently, they're coming out with a new game show (similar to the ones they had in the 80's) which I can't remember the name of, but there's gonna be slime dumped on contestants. This is the first time...

    Gonzo doesn't appear on America's Got Talent

    Nice one. I always thought they should find a way to have a Muppet Cameo on that show... similar to what they did with Jack Black and Cloris Leachman... have them watch a video or web video of the Muppets performing an exclusive skit or something.... the Office writers are huge Muppet fans...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    Then of course there's the third theory... they might not know what's going on either, and are unable to comment because they don't have any information. Now, I have a feeling that Steve couldn't have been fired, nor would they replace anyone with sound-a-likes. Why? Because Eric, Bill...

    Your Thoughts: Scooby Doo: The Mystery Begins

    Off topic... but I feel the Electric Mayhem playing some of today's music is as likely as them playing Disco or rap from every era... I just don't hear any songs a classic rock/hard rock/jazz and blues band would play. Even the so called "Rock" today is just too slow paced and depressed...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    I think you really summed it up there nicely. I mean, sure... when I heard Eric's Grover for the first time, all I could think was "What happened to Frank? Is he alright?" And if you watch those earlier Eric segments, he seems sort of halted and trying too hard to sound like Frank did... and...

    Gonzo doesn't appear on America's Got Talent

    The more I think about it... I'd rather have seen Rick Astley over Susan Boyal... But really... if they wanted to go that far, they might as well have got someone up in a Mario suit and had him say "All Toasters Toast Toast." or something. Freakin' internet fads...

    The Videogame Thread

    LJN, man... terrible company that made so many horrendous games. Both Back to the Future games were total garbage. I've played worse... but total garbage. I once played the Japanese Super BTTF 2 game, and there's some annoying boss that I literally have been working on for over a half hour...

    Who's going to see Disney's the Princess and the Frog

    Yeah... the theatrical animation department and the television animation department are 2 separate entities... Confusing thing is that the television department was the one that animated most of the DTV sequels, though they were treated by the same entity that was the theatrical department. At...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    You know... I was just about to say that earlier this morning but... well... forgot. There could have been a personal reason why he was unable, and I think we're starting to get a little out of hand here. Unless Disney actually fired him for some reason, any other reason why he wasn't able to...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    That is indeed good to hear. Seems like they were totally lost no thanks to the demise of Kid's WB. Really annoyed the heck out of me.

    What would happen if Sesame Workshop retired Elmo?

    I reiterate that it's yet another unfortunate side effect of 1990's kids programming. Elmo jumped into the spotlight at first out of necessity... Jim and Richard's characters were gone... Frank's characters weren't around as frequently... and after a while the whole reinventing of Sesame Street...

    Vivendi acquires Genius properties (SS one of them)

    I would never have thought anything negative would happen here... it IS Sesame Street after all, and people still buy those Elmo DVD's. I'm sure they'd probably give SW an arm twist or two for some old school like sets of classic footage... or even just more of what Genius was doing...

    Fraggle Figures

    Well... my collection is basically The McD's set without Wembly and Boober's cuke car (figures... not only do I not get my favorite characters, but they put them together) and the Red helmet Doozer Sababa figure. I never did get any of those Schliech figures... I find them in comic book stores...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    Palisades Action Figure Line... four of the most important words in Muppet merchandising history. And we did get VMX and stuff too... that resurgence from 2002-2004 was a fan's dream come true. I remember just walking to any store and not being able to punt a football without hitting...

    Your Thoughts: The Jay Leno Show

    Oh yeah... all I can say is, anyone else see that? Just as soon as he was getting into the good jokes the censors clearly made Jay cut to commercial? I can't repeat a thing he said... but it was pretty adult subject matter he was touching up there. I can't tell if he was being pushed out for...

    Gonzo doesn't appear on America's Got Talent

    The two theories I have are that Dave and Gonzo just couldn't make it in time after the D23 expo (and as such, there was no time to rehearse or anything)... or he just got bumped for Flat-sounding Rascals. The speculative theory I have (the one that has no lick of evidence, but I can feel it)...

    Gonzo doesn't appear on America's Got Talent

    Really... 2 hours of watching a show that's essentially a commercial for himself... and he clearly got bumped by a bunch of crappy hick musicians and Rick Astley...I mean The Peanut Butter Jelly Time banana... I mean Dr. Robotnik... I mean Susan Boyel... man these old internet fads all blend in...
