Hey, @mariolover , here's a serious question for you since you're a member of a Muppet forum: how do you feel about the fact that, despite being raised in the Christian Science faith, and being active within the church in his youth, Jim Henson adopted a more open-minded belief system as he entered adulthood, in that he basically embraced any and all types of religious teachings, rather than adhering to just one? He was also known to occasionally seek spiritual advice from the likes of mediums, psychics, and fortune tellers - something that God condemns in the Bible.

Why does 30 ROCK need a reunion special already when it only ended a few years ago?
I didn't even know ADVENTURE TIME ended, but apparently it's only been a couple of years ago, and they're already coming back with reunion specials; John DiMaggio's even going on about how he's moved onto other things since then and how good it feels to be going back as if it's been ages ago.

On another note . . . how come that show got ten seasons? Even good CN hits like Dexter, PPG, EEE, and KND never went beyond a sixth season, and those were CN's juggernauts back in the day.

I'm guessing the creators for those shows ran out of ideas.

Both Craig and Gendy have talked about how the later seasons of both of their creations really didn’t hold up compared to the older ones

PPG staff chose to end the show at season 6, realizing the show was getting stale

Not necessarily. John R. Dilworth has said he wouldn't have minded if Courage had a fifth or sixth season, but they met their contractual obligation for 52 episodes, and CN apparently wasn't interested in anymore (that, and CN evidently experienced a turn-over in staff at the time who apparently weren't as easy to work with as previous executives like Linda Simensky).

Okay, here's a serious one: why is it that so many battery-operated items (CD players, holiday decorations, ) have ports to connect an AC adapter, yet they never actually come with an actual AC adapter?
