    The Weekend Box-Office Ongoing Discussion Thread

    Oh yeah, Wicked is looking to stay in the top 5 throughout December. Among the things to take into consideration: Wicked being a long-running hit on Broadway (with the film being one of the better recent attempts to adapt a Broadway musical to screen). We're entering awards season, and there's...

    Nielsen Ratings for Saturday Morning Cartoons from the 80's (ABC, NBC, CBS)

    Gummi Bears aired for four seasons on NBC. It was ABC (during its fifth season) where it only aired one season.

    Animation on Fox 2024-2025

    Yeah, the first two stories rely a little too much on Deliberate Values Dissonance and Zeerust for its humor. However, I feel another reason for it is due to another possible weak point that the episode has: using lesser known Ray Bradbury stories (in this case, The Screaming Woman and...

    I tried my hand at making a "50 American-Made Animated Series You Must Watch Before You Die" list.

    Homestar Runner is not on my list because, outside of The Bugs Bunny Show, my goal is to keep the list focused on titles that debuted on TV.

    I tried my hand at making a "50 American-Made Animated Series You Must Watch Before You Die" list.

    In response to @Pooky: Crusader Rabbit is definitely a must for the list. In terms of Rankin/Bass, I had that represented by The New Adventures of Pinocchio, as that was their first "Animagic" title, predating Rudolph by four years. Spiderman is one that I have to debate. On one side, it is...

    I tried my hand at making a "50 American-Made Animated Series You Must Watch Before You Die" list.

    Meanwhile, I myself am trying to come up with a list of the most influential animated programs, with it, sans a couple of exceptions, keeping thing to being just a series. The first 50 American titles that I have included on the list consist of the following: The Gumby Show (1957) The...

    Given the events of that film, Mephisto probably should have made his MCU debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

    Nielsen Ratings for Saturday Morning Cartoons from the 80's (ABC, NBC, CBS)

    When it comes to the top premieres of Season 1 of Alvin and the Chipmunks, here's my thoughts: I can definitely understand household viewership being high for Urban Chipmunk/The Incredible Shrinking Dave, considering how the first story guest starred Dolly Parton (who was at one of her high...

    "MeTV Toons" Network Launching on June 25th

    It's not that surprising, as the people behind Superfriends really wanted to use numerous Batman villains for the series, but were unable to do so due to Filmation producing their own Batman series around the same time (with some Legion of Doom member choices being inspired by the Bat-Villains...

    C&C - Uzumaki Talkback Thread (Dub & Sub) [9/28-10/19]

    To be fair, the heads at WBD were likely the ones that forced DeMarco to make the decision to run Uzumaki in the state that it was in (it was either that or have that be another tax write-off).

    What If NBC Never Shut Down Its Saturday Morning Cartoon In 1992

    NBC did have a brand. However, said brand was the live-action series Saved by the Bell. As for blaming cable for NBC dropping its Saturday morning lineup: most cable networks with children's programming were aware of how big of a deal Saturday mornings were to the networks. As such, most cable...

    The Simpson's "Series Finale"

    Quite honestly, the two main concepts of this episode were handled better in other shows IMO. The first concept is the whole "using AI to write an ending" thing, and to me, as someone who does use AI myself to bring onto screen ideas that I have in my mind that I lack the artistic skills to...

    Also too bad that the anime community have already beaten the Simpsons to an episode that mocks finales by 11 days. :p Meanwhile, if there were any episodes that really felt like good finales to The Simpsons, it would be The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase (my personal choice, as it would ensure...

    "MeTV Toons" Network Launching on June 25th

    It's not just a senior citizen thing. Remember that MeTV is structured like classic syndication channels and some cable channels back in the 1980's and 1990's. A lot of the older stuff were regular TV fare in those days. As such, while there's still some fandom for the latter programming, most...

    So far, it has made an additional $14 million. However, it looks like things are going to be tough in terms of holding up, as The Wild Robot has already opened in number 1 in at least five international markets (with it beating Transformers One in Australia, the one market that currently has...

    Disney+ News & Discussion Thread

    I highly doubt rights are an issue, and while they would fit Hulu better, not only are a number of Hulu titles on Disney+, but there's also a section of horror titles on the service as well thanks to the Hulu service.

    "DreamWorks' The Wild Robot" News & Discussion Thread

    When I was in middle school, the school I went to had a couple of field trips where they rented out a theater to watch the latest film targeted towards kids (The Addams Family one year; Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey another year).

    Bingo. Remember that one of the main goals of Histeria was to teach kids about world history while also being entertaining to them.
