Dude, now you're starting to sound like you're making all of this up. "I called Sesame Workshop, I didn't have any problems, I just wanted to ask a question, they got mad at me, my feelings got hurt, now I'm in therapy because they made me depressed". Really?

Sid & Marty Krofft.

This needs to be revisited, because it's become something of an issue again, we even have confessions from certain members who say they mostly post simply because they like seeing their names on the forum index as far as recent activity goes, on the grounds it makes them feel like they're...

I don't even know what this is (apparently, it's some kind of island), I just thought it looked cool:

In some cases (not all, but some), live sitcoms do also use a laugh track for a process known as "sweetening", which basically done to help make the live audience sound better if their reactions aren't as desired by the producers, or in cases like you say. One time on ALICE, apparently the...

See, that's actually one of the biggest misconceptions there is about laugh tracks: they actually don't tell you when to laugh, or that what you're watching is funny, or at least, that's not what it was intended to do; the purpose of a laugh track is to recreate the ambience of watching a comedy...

Aside from the V of Doom, two other logos that kind of bothered me as a kid (but didn't scare me necessarily) were the Ghost Studios logo at the end of SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST and the original CARTOON PLANET and the Worldvision Enterprises logo.

Very good point. One thing that makes a laugh track sound realistic is something called a "titter track". Here's how it works: the titter track is a loop of individual people laugh quietly, it's always playing silently in the background, whenever a bigger laugh is put in after a joke...

1. Not scary. 2. The poor recording quality adds to the creepiness. 3. Not scary at all, one of my favorites. 4. That one is rather unsettling. 5. Not that scary. 6. Not scary at all. 7. Not scary at all. 8. Mildly spooky. 9. Kinda cool, actually. 10. Never seen that one before. 11. Okay, that...

I notice that whenever there's a discussion about certain series on this forum, inevitably, a side discussion about laugh tracks get brought up, so I figured, being the resident laugh track nerd, I'd start a thread for that very subject. So, yeah, laugh tracks - love 'em, hate 'em, television...

I was wondering when somebody was going to say something about that commercial.

And I see now, that old post I wrote a year ago about Joe Sirrico has suddenly shot back up into the top ten popular posts on Scarblog.

Why is there so much freakin' discussion about SpongeBob around here?

Well, the Muppets ARE for all ages, so it's only fitting that MC be for all ages.

Uh, because musical artists are basically copycats of everyone else? Nicki Minaj was basically the Black Lady Gaga before she finally developed her own style, but other than that... There's no credibility these days: everybody tries to be like everybody else, not to mention music in general...

Not to double-post, but I learned another something new today: how to determine whether or not fall will be colorful or dull. Apparently, it all depends on what the weather in September is like: if September has mostly sunny and dry weather with dropping temperatures, then the fall foliage...

People used to like Bieber because his was one of those Cinderella, rags-to-riches stories: he was born out of wedlock to a trailer trash mother who got knocked up as a teenager, they practically lived in poverty, yet he loved to sing, so his mother posted videos of him singing on YouTube, Usher...

When was H.R. PUFNSTUF ever on PBS Kids?

The Howie Scream is heard in the main titles of AAAHH!!! REAL MONSTERS, sometimes it's thrown into CDs of spooky and scary sound effects you can get at Halloween, AFV (AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS) will use it during their "Honorable mentions" montage at the end of the show, usually for a...

I actually learned the name of a very famous stock sound effect that's been used countless times in media: "Howie Scream".
