I have a lot of great/weird amateur playwright experiences, and not just because I was involved in most of them.  I was a member of a drama club whose leader wrote all of her own plays.  They were all of the kind of insane you'd only get from someone so far removed from conventional theaters that she was totally…

I remember seeing a similar "tour" of the Muppets where all the characters were these horrifying cheap off-model costumes and they all did a number on roller skates to "Proud Mary".

I DO remember watching cheaply-acquired Canadian series and movies like "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island" on stupid Disney Channel.

"Jurassic Bark was cloying, tone-deaf and stupid"

^^ I don't think the animators are to blame; unless you are one of the Nine Old Men or a student of same you are pretty low on the totem pole if you are an animator.  Though now I'm starting to think that whoever came up with the concept for "Barnyard" had to have been so very powerful and intimidating that nobody who…
