    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 2

    Oh yeah. in certain earlier episodes they used the Happy Birthday song (instrumental) whenever they did the "Can a Birthday cake ______________." They long since have stopped. it was an unneccisary use of money. I wish I had an example or two of episodes that used it. They also used Rockin'...

    The most disturbing Sesame Toy ever thread

    Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of it, but there's this plush Elmo doll I saw at the Christmas Treet shop several days ago. Unlike the usual Elmo toy, this one actually...well... You see, you can stretch it's arms and legs by pulling them. To which Elmo replies something like...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 2

    Yeah, the only caveat if there is one is that there isn't much variety in the way of number sponsers. other than that, this is going to be an even better set than the first one. Well, the truth is I agree with you there, but then we have to go into the whole Maria falling for Luis...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 2

    Muppet Wikia has a run down of the set as well. Including links to episodes to see the "track listing" of the episodes put on the set.\ Seems like starting off the season with the #2 is a tradition or something.

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

    I do have my fair share of problems with certain 70's and 80's cartoons. Mainly the fact that (while I enjoy them) cartoons were mainly based off of video games, toys, and greeting card characters in the 80's, and Hanna Barbera's self plagiarism in the 70's. But the only ones I dare say were...

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

    it depends. A lot of stuff they got away with in the golden age of anmiation (the 30's-50's), would never fly by todays standards. Looney Tunes and Tex Avery Shorts have to be completely cut down to fit in today's stadards. Even still, some cartoons that made their appearances on TV in the...

    He she and It?

    In the recent podcast episode, a lost cartoon segment featuring 2 kids, a He (named Heathcliff apparently), a she are talking about tricycles, and a hairy beast (most likely a bear) named it explains it to them. Apparently another segment was featured on the new "Old School" set in a classic...

    Follow that Bird vs. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland

    AS I oft said, compairing FTB to EIG is like comparing The Empire Strikes back to Revenge of the Sith (It used to be Attack of the Clones, but I said that before that one came out). They are both great movies IMO, but the older one is better for multiple reasons. I once posted a review of...

    Nologo products

    Nologo. Now THAT is clever. Mayhaps a stab at having to use generic products or something. Hillarious. BTW, if you look closely at the episode where Baby Marco is about to arrive (the one where they sing about the stuff they've got ready for the Baby) you can spot a popular brand of...

    Elmo's World-free episodes don't go over

    EW works on the same shoddy "principle" that the Baby Einstine videos work on. Clearly this is only "educational" if you believe a one year old can absorb and process information. They can't. It's pure candy for the kids. They only like Elmo's world because it's Elmo's world. They could...

    Tiny Toons Might be coming to DVD... rumor

    Apparently, there's a new rumor that an even more beloved 1990's WB cartoon may be coming to DVD as well.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 2

    WOW! This set looks amazing. I'm thinking, "hey! It's Tuesday November 6th already?" The animation cel looks suitble for framing, and The box art looks terrific. And only a small handful of cuts due to copyright reasons. Now this set is superior to the set preceding it. I'm so glad Genius...

    Elmo's World-free episodes don't go over

    Me as well. I'm pretty sure whomever is watching this, even at 1 year old knows what feet are. And the ones about animals would be a lot more educational if they had actual clips and facts about said animals in the wild. And Yes, overexposure is a killer. Much as I like Family Guy, I...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    Well, it's officially over with one of the WORST Simpsons Halloween specials in recent years. Though still better than the one from 2 years ago. But other than that, Total snoozefest. Pretty depressing, but at least this year I saw Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D which was a real step up...

    Koch Records to produce Sesame Street CD's

    Me too. I wonder if they'd release them similar to the Fraggle set. Maybe 3 of the oldest records in a set. I'd love them to release rare disks one by one, with bonus tracks or something.

    Didn't Animal try to bite Rita Moreno? Does that count as "eating" or was Animal being "Fiesty".

    Muppets in Disney Adventures Magazine

    Nah. Seems they don't even care that they're being cancelled. It's as if someone said "You finished with the issue? Good! Don't do no more." I could totally see it becoming a "lets milk all the money we can out of HSM before people realise how shallow it really is" type deal. I'd kill...

    Other Fraggles in the rock

    Too bad that Fraggles don't have a Fragglish equivillant to psychiatrists. Marlon seems to be a crazy loner that would be a danger to himself and others. Of course, if they had psychiatry, then Boober wouldn't be so Booberish. Or maybe he would, and just be on screen a lot less.... cuz of...
