And yet kids did watch that stuff.

But they were so exciting! A new Yogi Bear cartoon? Where they're skateboarding teenagers? I'll be there!

Also, her costume was extremely reflective, which meant that under the theater lights, everyone in the orchestra section was blinded the whole time she was moving around onstage.

I don't remember that, but there you go!

We should have seen Jar Jar Binks coming when we met Joh Yowza.

Please… "Count" Duckula is his father.

I think the format of Kenan & Kel was also heavily influenced by the Abbott & Costello TV show. Both even did those sequences in front of a curtain to set up and close out each episode. I'm not aware of Lou Costello's feelings regarding orange soda, however.

It was always weird to me that, after airing reruns for several years, Rugrats suddenly had a surge in popularity, went back into production, and started making movies and spinoffs. Were the kids of the late 90s so much more enthusiastic about talking babies than the kids of the early 90s?

Real Monsters (or was it "Ahh! Real Monsters") was the first new Nick show that I had little to no interest in. Although I was still watching other shows that were aimed at people younger than I was.

There was a Muppet Show comic a few years ago that included a story where Skeeter showed up as an adult. It was pretty good, and the artist Amy Mebberson did a great job of envisioning what an older Skeeter would look like.

The Muppets aren't quite the same as the Looney Tunes or Stooges projects. There are still people working with the Muppets who have been there since the Jim Henson days, and many more who worked closely with the previous generation of creatives who worked with Jim.

The puppeteers are so obviously having so much fun with that. And "We don't wish to learn but we hate what we don't understand" gets me every time.

At some point in the 90s, there was an announcement that there was a movie in development starring Animal and some snowboarder. I can't imagine why it never got made.

Come on, who has time to check his Wikipedia article? Or any of his albums listed anywhere on the internet? Or the exact People interview being linked to?

Obligatory "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad."

I was not allowed to see Ghost Dad or Little Monsters in the theater, but for some reason I was allowed to read the novelizations. I guess words are less damaging than moving pictures.

And 18 Again, starring George Burns and Charlie Schlatter!

I recall her inner monologue being more like "someday I'll be the bride standing up there," but I like your interpretation. And Gina never did get married, so maybe there's something to it.
