    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    I'm surprised you of all people didn't realise that they make the DVD pretty much at the same time they make the movie. It reminds me of a sequence from Spaceballs, actually. They had no idea it would have been anything but a throwaway film, so they just tossed it out as a Babysit the kids for...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    That's the problem with hipping something up for modern audiences. You always have to play to the lowest common denominator. Personally, I'd rather the Muppets deal with pop Culture in a Tiny Toon Adventures/Animaniacs sort of way, and not the Scary Movie style get every cultural refference...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I completely agree with that one. Pepe, Johnny, Sal, etc. I love the new characters that they actually kept around after Muppets Tonight. Sal, Johnny, Bobo... all those guys. As long as it isn't the dumb pig twins or Mr. Poodle Pants, we've got some great stuff here. Heck, i think pepe's...

    Sesame Street: Count on Sports

    Did you check behind the radiator and under the couch cushions? My sense of humor isn't so much missing, as beaten with in an inch of its life, and now it's just limping about. That said, I wonder if they may also do a "Kidtoons" theater presentation of this one as well. Seems with the...

    April Fools: Muppet Studios reveals new logo

    With the negative feed back the current logo is recieving, it comes as no surprise that the marketting department for Muppets Holding Company has redesigned a new tag that will debut later this year (as it wasn't finshed by the time promotions for the Muppet Show Season 3 was released)...

    April Fools: Disney cancels Muppet Show Season 3

    That's the way to do it. Pull an April Fool's joke that's actually believable. Wocka Wocka.

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    Is this the same imdb.com that said that Captain Smollet would be in VMX? Because I can't help feel there's something a little sketchy about it. This may be real news, but considering what day it is... check your calendar, or at least my post date... there could be some discrepencies. That...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Not so much didn't like them, as it's not quite what I'm into. Though I do want to see 40 Yr Virgin. My sister actually saw Knocked up and I think she liked it. Personally, I'm jealous of the fat guys that the girls can't get enough of in projects like this. I look at them and say, if I...

    Classic Cartoons in Syndication

    The Three Stooges, ironically enough, is about the only thing listed that runs in my area. TV 38, Sunday mornings from 9-10:30, a Three Stooges hour...2 hours...and a half... uhhh... And every New Years eve, we get a Marathon until 1 AM. other than that, all classic cartoons are good for...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Did anyone even read those? Is the average IQ of an "Ain't it Cool" poster 3 or something? if you're going to make immature nasty comments about something you're too jaded by blood porn slasher films to appreciate, at LEAST spell Fozzie's name right. And when you can't even get the name of...

    Classic Cartoons in Syndication

    Well, it ties into my rant. Modern cartoon shows don't usually run on weekdays, but rather weekends. 52 episodes is basically 4 seasons of 13 epsiodes each. If run on a cable network, that's basically just enough to run the series daily. 65 episodes used to be the standard, and that pretty...

    Retro Commercials--What's the Attraction?

    Funny thing, they have this slogan in Japan as well. I've got quite a few VHS taped off Japanese television, and quite a few episodes of Doraemon were sponsered by them. They have different Happy Meal toys (for the most part. They had the exact same Cars and Chronicals of Narnia toys we had)...

    Classic Cartoons in Syndication

    Hmmm... seems to me you found out about production caps or something like that. In this case, they only wanted that many episodes due to the fact they had enough episodes to go on for a 65 episode run (the minimal ammount needed for syndication). In otherwords, they didn't feel it was worth...

    Does anybody think you're weird for watching Sesame Street?

    And it's that success with SS that also blacklisted "The Muppet Show" as kiddy stuff in some minds. Of course, preschooly merchandise like this didn't exactly help to further the cause. But I feel that the Muppets have always transended the general idea of puppetry (and puppets of the 1950's...

    Meet Leela, Sesame Street’s newest cast member

    Sonsidering he was almost a bear, I hate to think of what would happen to the likes of Yogi, Balloo, and a certain unfunny comic we all know :o . So, outside of this, is there any info as to what the new curriculum is going to focus on? If we were running betting odds, I'd say...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    That's the problem. I'd love to see Forgetful Jones and Guy Smiley on Sesame Street instead of Elmo and Abby as well... but we haven't really found performers to really continue them on a regular basis. Even in the Christmas CD, I didn't really feel some of these characters (Especially Dr...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    And has been since 1999, when he (rightfully so) stormed out of Muppets from Space. heck, he wasn't even working in Muppets Tonight. I'm well aware we won't see the same sort of writing that Jerry created anymore than we'll See Bugs and Daffy in all their Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, or Friz...

    If those things weren't at 10am in the morning on Saturdays, and I wouldn't look like a mega pervert, I'd so be there. nothing is quite as magical as Muppets on the big screen. Still kicking myself for not seeing Inspector gadget's Biggest case ever at a Kid Toons. At least, I think that...
