It’s pretty cute. There’s a lot of Elmo, of course, but the episodes are only 15 minutes long and there’s the other characters with their own subplots and bits, plus fun celebrity guests. I think you’d be able to stomach them pretty well.

I don’t really dig this trend of 2D characters now being CGI in films. (Those Looney Tunes CGI shorts from a few years ago were good, though)

That’s the hitch about these “younger versions of old characters” shows: how do you differentiate them from the originals? Muppet Babies being an animated version of a tactile thing helps, A Pup Named Scooby Doo was more wacky than the older shows and poked fun at the formula. All the other ones aren’t really anything…

As much as I want Broadway performers and other artists to be able to return to their venues and get to perform again, no theater owner/manager/producer/etc. is going to open a show with limited capacity if social distancing is in place.

Well, technically they’ve already done a live-action Pinnochio:

Sure. Giant screen, surround sound, usually comfy chairs. Plus, after a year+ of having to stay home more often, people wanna get out of the house.

I watched it not long ago and it kinda disappointed me.

I think A Bug’s Life was Kahn’s last.

I haven’t watched this one in awhile, but it has some superb animation.

I was a HUGE SpongeBob kid when it first came on and even back then, the post-movie episodes didn’t feel right to me.

Unless the final episode pulls some kind of hat trick, I’m thinking maybe we jumped the gun on Dottie.

I think they’d renew it so far ahead because the animation is a lengthy process, especially when they’re going for a hand-drawn approach to animation; pretty much all other 2D-animated shows these days are just glorified Flash.

It doesn’t really have the same charm as the 2D animation did.

Look, Frasier is probably my favorite sitcom, but I have little to no interest in any kind of revival. Just let it be its wonderful thing and be done with it.

*obligatory comment saying this wouldn’t be a thing if the Simpsons had ended ages ago*

Parents (more black than white ones) complained that he was too much of a stereotype and he was phased out. They put some of his bits on the Old School DVDs, but the recent HBO Max releases of classic episodes have cut him out (I think just his rowdy schoolroom bits).

Other than omitting one episode for the guest’s personal life, it’s also not removing anything, so not “cancelled” in the slightest.

And that would be super swell if they could!

What’s odd is that “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” remains in the Alice Cooper episode, so I don’t know why they couldn’t secure a different song from the same movie.

He just plays bass and makes goofy faces.
