Okay, I'm just gonna say a few things here... I'm probably with you on Sam the Eagle's portrayal in VMX. Mainly because they lost the potential to have him, in the alternate universe, become an ultra-left wing radio host supporting the arts. I've said it. That's been a monkey on my back for...

Monday Morning Quarterbacking, I think they wanted to give her a smooth transition into the show. And a smaller 3 episodes out of 26 seemed like a way for the character to not come on too strong and be imposed. Of course, the next year, she was in virtually every episode, be it songs, skits...

Looks like we're going to get more and more Elmo-themed releases at the moment. But I wouldn't be surprised to see the next assortment have a rerelease of Cookie Monster or Big Bird's best of releases.

I could be wrong, but I think they did recast him at one point. Of course, with the demographics of television, phasing out characters like this (which is part due to the newfound rush to get out of childhood) is becoming a common occurance. Ronald McDonald isn't even in the McD's ads...

I've been clamoring for this idea for years. And I feel it's totally ironic that you made this suggestion here. Why? Well, PBS's funding is pretty much low and on the process of drying up. New show acquisitions are ridgidly processed, I feel. And they only tend to gravitate towards the...

Saturday Mornings are dead to me, as far as I'm concrened. or at least a vegetable that's about to have the plug pulled. And the people holding the various murder weopon? The FCC. In an attempt to fool the public to let single conglomerates buy up as many media outlets as possible the FCC...

Uhhh, I know someone who uploaded the entire "War of the Worlds" film... Steven Speilberg's film, mind you, as well as Independance Day, and hasn't been penilized yet. I agree. Youtube is screwed up. You could put an entire first run movie up their, and upload a cartoon from the 80's no...

Meh. I guess they have to get past the ultra mainstream kiddy stuff before they can open up the vaults to something truely amazing. I respect it... but it's definately gonna be a long wait.

Indeed it does. No matter what they do to TV's, what extra add ons you have to buy to keep up with the digital stuff, not everyone is going to be able to afford cable. Mainly because there aren't any smaller companies (yet) coming out of the wood work providing alternate service, forcing them...

I forgot I had Futurama season 1 too. Well, I have that one. Just not any of the others just yet.

I like ANY videogame that doesn't make you play it a hundred times in different difficulty settings to get the good ending. Especially if the game is a frustraiting nightmare to play, and you get that backhanded compliment of "Try Harder mode" when you actually defeat the stupid thing.

Another rare PSA: http://youtube.com/watch?v=94Itb6UuZiE# Apparently, the Addams Family think their camping fire is too warm and cheerful.

Definately. Politics aside, Elmo was the perfect Muppet choice to talk about it, as he was during the post 2001 PSA's teaching kids about dealing with fear. Elmo is one of the few muppets, as I've said, I can totally believe is a kid, and not an ambiguosly aged cartoony character (right up...

I think the problem was that it just couldn't decide if it was to be a TV special or an honest to gravy movie. It seemed to bounce back and fourth. Plus, you could tell all the influences of the Simpson's writer. :attitude: popping up and just saying irrelevant lines because he has a funny...

Simply put, I keep moving from "I hate it" to "I'm on the fence" to "Let the good times roll!" I've said everything on every scale a million different times. And it all comes down to OZ. While the project wasn't something projected by Disney, they did have a hand in it. And that hand...

seems like with Elmo, we had a rising star that wound up dominating the action later on down the line. Abby seems like Sesame is trying to get as much publicity as possible. I mean, I grew to like the character and all, but it comes on WAAAAAAAY too strong. I know the importance of a positive...

My PBS hasn't had a pledge drive in over three seconds. That's what I say. It isn't the priority funding source, nor should it be. But we always need to have the government sponser things like this to give us a more well rounded culture. But that's not what Joe Conservitive Tax Payer...

No... no... As for me, give me the original Kubricks. The "let's copy Kubricks and make our own block figures" movement soured me on Toy collecting. I did like what Mezco did for a little while, though. Especiailly the Dick Tracy Line.

You know, when I heard they were making Iron Man the Movie, I thought to myself, how popular is this character for mainstream audiences? he had a short lived cartoon in the 90's. And of course that Heavy metal song. How would it have done with a more mainstream non-comic book geek audience...

I just picked up Baby Felix (dollar Store had a bunch of them, otherwise I wouldn't have paid cash for it). But I have to say this. It isn't good, but it isn't terrible. The songs they have are ghastly terrible, and just poorly written (the lyrics sound like they took no effort at all). But...
