    Looks like Rotten Tomatoes has gotten rid of the "Average Score" feature. Not a good change IMO. Certainly seems like a change that's more advantageous to studios than users

    Hello, I would like to request the deletion of my post "FAN-MADE HISTORY: WildBrainTV / Nickelodeon Splat Zone"; I created it accidentally.

    If you've got any thoughts about a Live Action Film or TV show you just watched that doesn't quite fit into any of the other threads, feel free to share them here; What Did You Watch Today? It would be good to get some more substantial Film/TV Talk going around here.

    Turns out what is (reportedly) the only Rocky & Bullwinkle Pinball machine in the UK is quite near me. It was a pretty fun play.

    The same place also has the Twister pinball machine, featuring a sound chip version of Humans Being by Van Halen, that memorable hit we're all still humming.

    Random thought; if Marvin (Garfield-esque comic strip about babies) had been turned into a Saturday Morning cartoon in the late 80s, rather than being confined to a one-off special, would Rugrats have ever existed?

    It's hard to say. Marvin wasn't exactly the same vibe as Rugrats, since Marvin didn't have a cluster of friends; the only other baby in the main cast was his cousin Meagan. Marvin was more like Garfield with a baby.

    The TV Special did add a few other baby characters. I mostly wonder if there could be two "secret life of babies" shows at the same time, but I guess it's not unknown to happen. Arguably Rugrats was already kind of similar to Muppet Babies in some ways.

    Not sure how I've only just heard of Too Close for Comfort; so it's a sitcom where Ted Knight plays a cartoonist? Based on a British sitcom I've somehow also never heard of?? With a Garfield themed episode guest staring Jim Davis?!?

    There was also the infamous episode where Monroe (the show's resident effeminate male character) is kidnapped and SAed by two fat ladies because making fun of fat people was a thing in the '80s.

    Aside from that, one of Ted Knight's daughters on the show was played by Cindy Morgan. who was Lacey Underall in Caddyshack.

    Trivia Time: Ted Knight also played a cartoonist in a CBS Saturday Morning Preview special called Saturday's the Place.

    Also, the cartoon that Ted's character worked on in TCCC was a strip called Cosmic Cow.

    E.T. ride, Animal Actors, KidZone Pizza, and SpongeBob meet and greets will stay

    My guess is the old KidZone will be renamed to the Dreamworks Kidstopia or something like that.

    I think there will still be some Woody Woodpecker stuff in the parks, so the sentimentalist in me hopes that it retains his branding, but you're likely right that it wont.

    Watching the first season of Timon & Pumbaa on Disney+; it's kind of jarring that Timon alternates between Nathan Lane and Quinton Flynn seemingly at random. Can't remember if I noticed at the time. think I did but may be conflating that with Kevin Schon taking over in Season 2.

    Perhaps not coincidentally the Lane episodes seem to have a bigger animation budget too.

    It would be nice to have the episodes in the production order.

    Yeah, I assume Nathan Lane was the voice for the first 10 recordings, and then had other commitments or got too expensive, but that's not certain. Doesn't seem like there's much out there about the series.

    I know this is nerdy pedantry but it bug me when writers refer to cartoons that aired in Prime Time or Syndication as "Saturday Morning Cartoons". I don't expect the average person to know/care, but when you're writing an article or a video essay? Come on, you should get that right.

    Yeah, I hear ya, but being syndicated, some people probably did see stuff like He-Man and G.I. Joe on Saturday mornings. In fact, I remember the DIC version of G.I. Joe aired on Saturday mornings in my area at like 8 a.m. when I was in high school.

    Sure, but cartoons that were made for theatres aired on Saturday mornings too, doesn't make them "Saturday Morning Cartoons". There will be contextual exceptions and complications (e.g. shows that at different times were made for both, like The Real Ghostbusters and Animaniacs), but mostly when used in the past tense it should only be used for cartoons explicitly made for that time slot.

    Going to take a break from the site for at least a little while, just not enjoying reading or posting much at the moment for various reasons, and have mostly been coming out of habit. Best to all.

    It's so weird to me how far they've gone with the "this if the film Andy saw in 1995" marketing for Lightyear a) It's something which falls apart quickly as soon as you think about it b) Is that really an angle that's going to get people excited? Especially the core audience of kids born 15-20 years after 1995?

    To be honest, looking at the way their approaching the film, it doesn't really feel like a film that would've come out in 1995 for Andy to see.

Going offline until further notice. David Ellison has won. I’m seeking therapy permanently rather than quitting life. Take care everyone. Once I leave the world into the void, I hope my life is better.

Is that Joan Cusack voicing Jessie in that Toy Story Papa John's commercial? If so, it sounds rough. Woundn't surprise me if it wasn't, though.
