    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    Firstly... hard to believe kids wouldn't get references to Christmas Carol... since every cartoon character in the history of man kind has milked that one. Secondly... who says kids have to get the references now? I mean, a lot of stuff on SS did go over my head, mostly a couple song...

    The Golden Compass Thread (Spoilers ahead!)

    No excuse? Well, you know what they say, if you can't find a way to do something about it, make fun of it or complain. That'll get a lot done :rolleyes: . Not to mention that these good hearted moderate non-political Christians don't have any sway. I mean, the extremists pretty much have...

    Yeah! I remember. And then there was that big guy who was a character half way towards the end that talked in dude speak that got arrested for beating his wife/girlfreind or something? Tragic. (that's what happens when you watch too much Family Guy) But I love Perfect Strangers myself...

    Elmo on a Target Commercial

    I saw that out of the corner of my eye last night, and I thought they just used a video clip of Elmo. Nice to see that he's in a coomercial. Didn't Kermit the Frog have a commercial at one point?

    Tgif

    Yeah, TGIF was good in the 80's/early 90's... especially Family matters. when they tried to bring it back a few years back, it was a pathetic line up of mangled garbage like "Hope and Faith" However, I will always have a hateful spot in my soul for TGIF, since ABC didn't give Muppets Tonight...

    CGI Overusage?

    Well, he thought he wanted it. Much like he thought he wanted to add a giant song and dance number in Star Wars episode 6... and all that. But for me it wasn't so much the CGI that left a bad taste in my mouth as the writing and wooden acting.

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    Honestly, I could not recommend Ratatoullie enough. Not even so much as a burp joke... and it had pretty witty gourmand Dialogue to it. Brad Bird really made the film razor sharp. It really is one of Pixar's best films, I think. I think people were discouraged by the "G" rating. So not only...

    No U.S. visit for HIV-positive Muppet

    Actually, that is the main reason why they decided to use a Muppet character. It really would put the problem into perspective by using a magical character. Similar to the Unicef Smurf ad. Of course, I still say I'm not wild about the military videos featuring Muppets fighting in wars....

    No U.S. visit for HIV-positive Muppet

    Well... as I said, not so much that, as we don't have a high HIV/AIDs count amoungst our young as the South Africans do.

    What is your favorite movie in 1980's?

    I have a long list, but I think I'll just mention a few that weren't already... Great Mouse Detective- Very underrated Disney film Dragon Ball Maka Fushigi (Mystical Journey)- I personally love all the Non-Z Dragon Ball films, but this one is my favorite, since Arale-chan from Dr. Slump...

    No U.S. visit for HIV-positive Muppet

    Want to know the differences between the US and Africa, where kids are actually born into AIDs on an epidemic scale? I do not see them doing this at all (considering this was announced 5 years ago) since we don't have an AIDS/HIV problem that severe. It should be addressed, but I think it has...

    CGI Overusage?

    I will say (oddly enough) the CGI movie "Gadget's Biggest Case Ever" was pretty much the best thing we've seen out of the franchise to date (since that movie ruined any chance of a real researgence of the character). But that Disney movie had "We couldn't care less" written all over it. I...

    In what universe are today's kids' shows too "sugarcoated"?

    But I would rather see to it that parents prevent their kids from watching certain shows than have them write angry letter to the networks and forcing them to take the show off the air completely. Yeah, but be that as it may, it's still the number one rated kids line up on Saturdays that...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    I call bullhonkey on all counts. Cookie still eats cookies (and buildings and foam rubber letters). Oscar living in garbage was never an issue, and heck, Oscar acted pretty out of character in 2 skits from 1970 (refer to this thread. And as for Ernie's Bathtub? Well, they've shown Do the...

    In what universe are today's kids' shows too "sugarcoated"?

    Err... Teletubbies seemed like it was coated with a simliar looking substance, but definately not sugar... :crazy: I will say, if there is one thing that you brits do great, it's stop motion. I can't get enough of that sort of thing. heck, I even watch Bob the Builder on occasion. Other...

    Oscar acting out of Character?

    I would post these on the Youtube thread, but I feel these clips warrent their own discussion... Oscar and Ernie trade Desserts In this segment, Oscar actually comes in and gives Bert and Ernie ice cream cones-no tricks attatched- because they were handing them out at Hoopers. He seems...

    Abby Cadabby Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving parade

    And irony of ironies, it was used to show a new character balloon. It depends. If you're referring to the Musicals at the beginning of the Parade, they usually last about 1 hour into the show anyway. i'm glad I finally got a peak at Young Frankenstine. But those others were... WOW...
