That Family Ties pastiche opening was perfect.

Inconceivable!

Can we talk about how pitch-perfect that 80s sitcom intro pastiche was?

Shortly before the pandemic, I saw a production of the newer iteration of this that was on Broadway a few years ago. Didn’t care for it; they added a bunch of new stuff that I don’t think worked (an attempt at a peasant uprising, a romance between a stepsister and the leader of said uprising, and the prince not…

26 volumes, gadzooks! And I thought my complete Calvin & Hobbes boxset was big.

Have they put out the volumes where it’s all about Rerun?

I’ve never really gotten why they do this. Like, putting them online just after they’re shown on air makes sense, but putting it out early to promote the commercial itself doesn’t really to me.

Frasier is probably my favorite sitcom, but I don’t have much interest a reboot.

Dana Carvey doesn’t look like he’s aged much.

I also live in NJ, so that’s also makes me glad.

Jimmy Woo finally perfecting a close-up magic trick is a great call back to Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Those new Looney Tune shorts are quite good. I think they need to have a little more variety though - I’m getting a tad tired of nothing but Bugs/Elmer, Porky/Daffy, Sylvester/Tweety.

I know it’s a TV Special, but A Muppet Family Christmas is an excellent crossover of all the Muppet things going on at the time.

The CGI models of the lead women in the recent films (from Tangled on) aren’t really that varied, it seems.

Here’s a favorite clip of mine:

I wouldn’t call it unlikely, but I don’t see that happening too soon. They’re doing the new Fraggle Rock show for AppleTV+ right now, so if anything were to come of a merger, it’d be after that deal is done.

I too have thought that. I think a disclaimer thing might be best; the material in the episode is too good to just not include it.

We watched a couple of episodes in a religion class I took senior year high school; liked it enough to check out the rest.

Haven’t seen any of Pushing Daisies though!

I think a bit that no one ever brings up from that one is the Muppet Sports blindfold race, which is such a silly and wonderfully executed premise.

Huh, I never really thought about how this compares to CXG. I probably wouldn’t say “for dummies,” but I would say something like “grocery store brand”.
