    "The TV Guide Thread"

    Do not get me started on TV. Do not. we got like 3 or 4 good shows that aren't animated, and most of them are NBC's Thursady line up. What the shell is up with Maury Povich still being on the air? Why can't people stop having illigitamate children so he doesn't have any more subjects...

    As if "Underdog" Wasn't Enough...

    And there's the news I heard about a year ago. Didn't think they'd go through it. But considering this is going to get what all the others got WRONG and make the entire thing CGI instead of with live action humans and either a CGI or (in the case of Underdog) a real live animal making stupid...

    Elmo's Christmas Countdown

    I'm pointing out the blantant hypocracy that it brings. I mean, there's a difference between things like Elmo's World happy holidays and Arthur's perfect Christmas where they actually show all the different holidays and something with a generic winter holiday. The people who do this are...

    Truth commercial: Muppets & smoking

    Question. Do the antidrug commercials with the poorly drawn dog and potato lump person get on your nerves for the same reason? Cuz they sure as shell do that to me. I would too, if it wasn't staged. Big tobacco does these ads themselves to put a cute and cuddley, "Nah! We ain't trying to...

    Elmo's Christmas Countdown

    At least it IS a Christmas special. It could have been a generic winter holiday special conceved by a bunch of white Christians to make sure everyone doesn't feel left out by singling them out anyway. I will never fully understand why they can't just make Hannukka and Kwanza specails along...

    Why has Sesame Street never talked about visiting former schools?

    The day they bring back Roosevelt Franklin is the day Elmo stops speaking in third person, Big Bird Molts, and Cookie Monster becomes annorexic. And some very hot places will get very cold.

    Underdog the movie

    With Cars they really hit a smart point with the merchandise. When it first came out (and even today) It's hard to actually find the cars. I really only wanted George Carlin's VW bug, and I had to buy a 2 piece set for it. Funko has some nice Underdog Merchandise, and there are some new...

    The Simpsons Movie - Box Office Smash!

    They record commentary as soon as the movie is finished. This is great news. They will no doubt make a sequal or something now. and hopefully this will bring them a step closer to making a Family Guy theatrical movie. It's already spreading around the rumor. But honestly, I'd rather see...

    Underdog the movie

    But mercifully it will ALL be CGI, and not like Underdog at all. if they do it in a straight forward animated feature, just with CGI. it could work. But then again My dream of an ALL 2-D animated Bullwinkle Movie splint into 4 parts interspearced with Fractured Fairy tales, Mr. Peabody and...

    Elmo's Christmas Countdown

    Actually, in the original comic series the Turtels were trained as assassins by Splinter to avenge the death of his master, Hamato Yoshi. hense why they are NINJA turtles. Anyway, I dunno. You could say the same thing about Robert DeNero or something like that. I gotta say it gives it at...

    Japanese openings to American cartoons

    Here's something really interresting. You see, sometimes they record new songs for them to open the show with... like these examples... Dastardly and Muttley in their flying machines Wacky Races (Tiki Tiki Machine Mou Race) Batman (Filmation series) TMNT (2003 version 1) TMNT (2003...

    Underdog the movie

    Of course, I never liked Josie and the Pussycats myself. Honestly, it's a post for another time, but I am a HUGE Hanna Barberra fan, but I can't stand the stuff they made in the 70's. Except Hong Kong Phooey, of course. I really gotta admit, i would have loved for Wacky Races to have worked...

    Dude, I'm more angry with Hollywood than anyone who will actually see this. To each their own, right?;)

    Ready for School

    I guess this means that we should worry if any other releases will have any old skits on it. i mean, Country music did.

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    Strange... I always thought Scooter was retired (sorta) cuz they couldn;t find a good continuer for him. Anyway, I said it before and I'll say it again. I think that David Rudman would do a good job. he won't quite sound the same, but he's continued most of Richard's roles. And even when...

    Underdog the movie

    You don't know? They actually WERE going to do this with Hong Kong Phooey, but no one really seemed interrested in the script. but then again, they announced a Wacky Races film that was never made, and they keep bringing up a Jetsons movie, and nothing has come out of it for over 10 years.

    Underdog the movie

    In a perfect world, Karen Sympathy would've been replaced by Capn' Peachfuzz or something like that. i really did love the movie. And the RBTV somehow seemed like a sign of things to come (American Idol/ Singing bee... hint hint). As far as Mario goes, it's better if you AREN'T a fan of...

    Underdog the movie

    That's oddly enough how I felt (or similar) to the Super Mario movie. had it had a different title, but same plot and such it would have worked better. i enjoyed it. but come on... Dennis Hopper as Koopa, and not in a suit or something that looks like Koopa? And Big Bertha's an overweight...

    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    I loved that made for TV movie. I usually hate these kind of "look at the scandelous crap that happened behind the scenes" telefilms, but this one was tastefully done. Mike Chiclas (sp?) did a wonderful job as Curley. As for the new film... well, Somehow I feel the Farrely brothers can...

    Can the musical "Hairspray" bring back Muppet Movies?

    It's not that I hate CGI. I enjoy it. but Pixar is the ONLY studio that gets it right. I don't know what special ingredients they put into everything, but they manage to mix cartoonish stylization and realism flawlessly. I hate something too realistic.
